I know poutine is a very common and regular thing in Canada - but as a visitor, I get very excited about it. I've had some mediocre poutine and some great poutine, and the poutine at Beacon Pub and Eatery is good. While it's not the best I've ever had, it certainly was the cheesiest (at my request) and for that - I left highly satisfied. We ordered the nachos along with it and the two dishes were just perfect for an afternoon snack for five people. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area, would recommend going during happy hour if you can read more

Beacon Pub & Eatery - Poutine with extra cheese and chicken nachos. - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Our last night in Whistler and we decided to go somewhere in the heart of the village that was casual and had great pub food so Beacon was perfect for that! Great service, got seated immediately on their outside patio which as this is in the heart of the village is perfect for an entire village view and we had amazing service throughout our meal! Food here is always stellar! Had to get poutine one last time and theirs is fantastic then got a bunch of appetizers - basically loaded on the carbs and fried stuff - onion rings, fried pickles and the Mezza platter with friend halloumi! Everything was great - pre flight we are well fed and it was a great dinner to end our trip! Will be back next time we are in Whistler ! read more

I dined upstairs at Beacon Pub in Whistler, savoring the exquisite village vista that momentarily eclipsed the chill of the mountain air. Following a trusted recommendation, I indulged in the fish and chips. impeccably English, with a batter so crisp and fish so tender, it evoked the finest of British tradition. A delightful choice for the discerning palate. The waitress was prompt even on a busy Friday night. I will return! read more

Great spot in whistler away for custom cocktails, beer on tap, and pub food. The prices are similar to what's around Whistler. The service was top tier, two young blonde ladies made sure we were served quickly. Would come back again. Also got to watch the games on TV. Decent place to catch the game as well and not too loud. It was busy for a Friday night but they sat us quickly. read more

We stop in whenever we are in town. It's a great place to grab a drink and a quick bite. The bartenders here are always great and keep an easy discourse going at the bar. We've gotten great tips here for where to eat, what to do, where to ski, etc. It's just a good vibe. The food is bar food, ok? I don't know what people expect. But it's fine for what it is. The poutine is vegetarian so that is a bonus for us. The Mediterranean plate and 7 layer dip are also good choices. read more

They have the best burgers I have ever tasted! The fries are also amazing with the perfect crisp to them. Service was great and our waitress was very welcoming and talked with us about our plans for our stay in Whistler! Highly recommend stopping in for a burger, you won't regret it! read more

We've been to Whistler quite a few summers in a row now and each time we've stopped in here. One summer we went twice because we loved our food and service and I had a salad I craved and wanted again. Last year we came in again, still great service but no more salad I loved and what I got was ok. This year we went for a salad and the options were even less with just a ceasar and Cobb which was a bummer. Burgers there are always a win with everyone else but not my go to. The reviews were mixed on how their burgers were this year and everyone recognized there's been a change. Our service however was still great. read more

Amazing!!!! Deciding where to go in The Village was work enough! Great place to eat after mountain exploring & hiking. It was a birthday for one of my friend's traveling with & he had a full rack of ribs, I had a Lamb burger & another friend had the Shaved beef sandwich .. The food was a wonderful delight. .... Then the very next night we decided to go back & had another rewarding meal! We had 1-The Beacon Signatute Burger, 1-Cesar Salad with chicken & I had an order of Onion rings & salad.... Ohhhh so Good When in Whistler BC on the village, give it a try read more

Beacon Pub & Eatery is conveniently located near our hotel and so we decided to walk down for dinner before heading to the grocer next door for some holiday supplies. We waited no more than a couple of minutes before a friendly greeting, a quick table wipe down, and we were seated. The hostesses were very professional, courteous, and polite. The place was absolutely hopping, and busy as could be - but the patio seating was comfortable, albeit packed, and well situated for people watching as they walked along by the fenced seating and tables. The choice of music selection in The Beacon was a mix of Weezer, Red Hot Chili peppers, and some other bands that were a great selection, and don't kill the vibe or feel like a "club". We could converse, sit, eat, and enjoy each others company, while still listening to a great song selection . The food... for the price I'd say it was worth it. If you're in Whistler, you should be prepared to spend money, as it's a tourist destination after all. But eating at the Beacon you'll find better prices than some locations, with a fresh, tasty selection. The lobster was sweet, and the dill sauce contributed perfectly to the pairing. Arugula garnished the plate and my fries were heavily seasoned (to perfection) tucked up right alongside my two lobster rolls. The perfect size portion of fresh, sweet, succulent lobster roll and crispy, savoury, salty fries. A definitive 10/10. I highly recommend Beacon Pub and Eatery for its overall atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food, relatively reasonable prices, and fantastic location in Whistler Village. I'll definitely be back~! read more

The service was really good, our waitress was very friendly, attentive and knew the menu to help with recommendations. We sat on the patio and people watched, while enjoying a beer and having lunch. They have outdoor heating to keep you warm. We had the daily specials, and the food was fresh and delicious.. For lunch this place was perfect read more

Surprised at the mixed reviews here! We visited Beacon Pub & Eatery for a late lunch and were seated right away. The restaurant was spacious, with mostly high-top seating upstairs, and a casual vibe. For drinks, I ordered the Spritz Me, which was a mocktail version of an Aperol Spritz. I've been on the hunt for a good zero-proof version of this drink, and this was the best version I've found so far. Very tasty and refreshing! For food, my boyfriend and I shared the Poutine and Beacon Wings. The Poutine was delicious, and I really liked the vegetarian gravy. It was also the perfect size to share between two people. The Beacon Wings were cooked very well and came with a choice of BBQ, Buffalo, or Ranch. We got both Buffalo and Ranch, which was expectedly a great combo. Service was fast and friendly, and we did not leave hungry. Would return! read more

3.3 stars? Pffffff Alright, try the burger (get rid of the pickles because who likes those), get a mulled wine and turn that $17 dollar poutine into a $5.00 side. Then come back and tell me this is 3.3 stars. Pfffffffffffffff Holy shmokes One thing though, needs to lighten up on the carding lul. It's random selection and we couldn't eat because of it after a good ski day. Other places are more chill. Regardless, gotta try that first burger on the menu and poutine and mulled wine, you won't be disappointed. Went for it almost three times and never been to whistler before. I'm american i know burgers LEL read more

We decided to try this pub as most other restaurants in Whistler were fully booked for the night and there seemed to be a lot of people here. The service was fast and friendly. They came to check in with us several times despite us sitting at the far end of the patio (the main patio area was way too hot with the heaters and with how close the tables were). We ordered the fish and chips Wednesday special, a pulled pork burger and a Caesar. I got to say that the fries here were bomb! Nice and thick, but still crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yum! Would go again just for fries! The pulled pork burger was enjoyable. Definitely very saucy. I found the fish breading a little too thick and made the dish overall kinda dry and very heavy. You can skip on the caeser here though, it was very pricey and not very flavorful. Overall, enjoyed the food (especially the fries) and atmosphere but would opt for just beer next time. read more

We were a bit sad that there were no drinks on tap. The alternative was caned and bottled beverages. Great cocktails. The food is very in line with pub dining. We got the poutine with bacon. Very filling. Comfort food. Nothing special. The vibe is great. The outside space heaters are perfect. The service is good. We were checked on often and given plenty of suggestions for drinks/food/other places to eat. read more

Great burger & beer combo for $20! (Wednesday). The burger and fries were great. The server was nice, quick, and had good recommendations for beers. The location is right in the heart of it all and is pretty casual-nice casual. We also ordered the summer salad bowl and I didn't really like it, I wouldn't order it again. It was really big, but it didn't have enough dressing and was way too sweet for my taste. read more

We sat on the patio outside since the weather was good. read more

My wife had steak frites which she enjoyed, but they say they only cook medium rare and hers was cooked more than that. I had the fish and chips which was decent, not much to ruin or praise about there. The fried pickles were phenomenal! Our server (I don't remember her name but she was from England) was fantastic! Great job waiting on us. We sat outside where we had plenty of leg room and could people watch while we ate. Would definitely recommend this place! read more

Good option for dinner. Tasty comfort food for winter days. We had a round of different hamburgers they come with french fries or poutine. Obviously we went for the poutine as we were in Canada :) Must say very tasty! Beer was good too. Atmosphere is relaxed and loud. The downside was that service was veeery slow upstairs. We had to wait for every single thing. Even for cutlery and napkins. Check was also slow. read more

Beacon Pub & Eatery - Loved their burgers - Pubs Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Went here apres ski for some beers and food and it was so good! We tried a local lager and IPA, and they were amazing! For the food, I got the fish and chips and my husband got the burger. They were both really good, but I think my fish and chips was superior, because the homemade tar tar was really good! The service was also really good - our waitress was so nice and sat us under a heat lamp because I was a bit cold. Would definitely come back here apres ski again! read more

Food and Texas mules were pretty great. This is 1 Star because they waited until I ordered takeout and drinks to tell me we could let our dog sit outside with us and wouldn't let us just sit on the rocks with our dog and enjoy our drinks. We had to trade off drinking our drinks. If you're going to allow messy children to sit outside, you can let a dog that will just sit there so we can enjoy our drinks and relax. Telling us this after we order 100 dollars work the food is pretty scummy. read more

food are great. we ordered the pull pork tacos, fried chicken and garlic fries... they were all tasty. Note that my expectations on the pull pork was everything was pulled.. but no.... each taco had a part of pork that is not pulled.. they were big chunks too. I ended up having a mouthful of pork.. The fried chicken were good. we asked for the whiskey bbq. I cant taste whiskey while my husband did. the chicken was good by itself already. And the garlic fries? a lot of garlic!! Cant argue about that. i wished it was a bit lesser garlic... felt like i was eating garlic chips and fries at the same time... The service was also good ;) read more

Terrible place... do yourself a favor and don't look at the kitchen when you use the restroom. Disgusting hygiene. Got a mild case of food poisoning after eating the steak Frites.... Even though it was cooked to oblivion. read more

Hmmm, reviews are a bit polarized. It was alright I guess. My phone died because I'm stupid, so no pictures this time. Three cheese dip: Meh. The price seems a tad steep, but the dip was alright, not overpowering and the texture of the bread was nice too. Although, calling it 'bite size naan' is maybe slightly triggering. Lol. Jk jk........but seriously. I ordered the bison pot pie. Errrr, it's like they just laid a cracker over the top of a stew. I always find this strategy to be a lazy cop-out. In the first place, the crust of pot pie isn't just for presentation; it helps with the cooking method and seals in the heat and umami. So naturally, the flavor of this meat is......it's just okay. The side of mashed potatoes fared worse, I thought. It's somewhat dry without any gravy or other sauce, and the roots on top only emphasize the problem. It's definitely better with the juices from the pot pie, but the pie is in its own bowl and doesn't really have any juiciness to spare. Welcome to mediocreville. Chicken sandwich. I think it's supposed to be a crispy buttermilk chicken sandwich or something? It's alright. The chicken is not that juicy, but I wouldn't say it's tough or super dry either. Fish and chips. Surprisingly, this fish is probably the best meat I had. It's firm, but not too firm. The batter has a nice crispy texture. They were fairly generous with the tartar sauce. Fries are thick cut, but not too soft. I'd say they're good, but not particularly amazing. read more

Really enjoyed the food here. The drink menu is great, and they had a super yummy bloody caesar. I don't know why i *never*see these on menus in the us, and they are so much better than bloody marys. The truffle fries were fantastic. Casual good food, reasonably priced, great location. Will be heading back! read more

The Royale Burger and the Beacon burger beef patty were dry and had no flavor to the bite, it tasted like it's been in the freezer for a few weeks. The buns were stale and old. We also ordered fried chicken wings that literally had no seasoning or any type of flavor at all, not even salt. It was literally chicken that was deep fried and overly cooked. We were disappointed in the food. The waitress was friendly and the service was great though. They need a new chef for sure, blah! read more
