It is extremely busy here and the food was a fail. Clam chowder did not have fresh clams. Mushroom pot pie was missing the carrots and celery - it was all mushroom which was not great. The burger was not good. The only good thing was the chili and poutine. Service was good and it is extremely tough for the wait staff to move around because it was really jammed packed. It is quite loud and seating is completely jammed packed. read more

Dubh Linn Gate - Irish Pub Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

I went back to this restaurant for the first time in 18.5 years to see why I went twice on that trip. I was not disappointed. Great views from the patio of Whistler mountain. The fish and chips were delicious. Moist fish with the perfect amount of breading that remained crisp without being too thick. Doused with white vinegar (yes--they have it!!)--it was awesome. So was the slaw that was acidic and a great compliment to the dish. Highly recommend. read more

Cheerful ambiance, got seated right away for later dinner on a Sunday. Chip +dip upgraded to poutine was 19.50. Gravy was great and cheese curds were plentiful, but the fries weren't hot and the cheese never melted. The cottage pie was very mashed potato heavy and it was good to dip the French fries into. The live music was good but too loud, we had to yell to talk to each other at our table and couldn't hear each other well. read more

What is not to love about Dubh Linn Gate?? First off, the location is prime, right at the base of the lifts. Second off - the food is delicious! What better spot to sit for a hot meal after a day on the mountain? And lastly - the vibe. Friendly staff and tentative staff to make sure you have all you need. Last time we were in, we had the Parmesan chicken bites which were some of the best I've had - flavorful with a crispy outside and a tender inside - and the grilled cheese - with the best bread I've ever had for a cheesy sandwich. Even my picker eaters cleared their plates! The time before, my friend and I posted up outside by the fire while our husbands hit the slopes. They didn't seem to mind and we enjoyed the quality time, drinks, and view. If you're looking for something slightly different than the usual while in Whistler, I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Great service by hostess and waitress, the chicken rice bowl was delicious. A super savory dish diverse in flavors, it was bold yet comforting at the same time. The curry sauce was great. The pickled fennel and chopped walnuts complemented everything so well. Perfect portioning. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Whistler area and is looking for decently priced items. read more

One of my favourite bars to go to when I am in Whistler because the crowd here is always great! They have a lot of indoor seating as well as a nice patio which you can also enjoy in the winter because they have this huge firepit going. Ordering from the bar can sometimes take a while but that's expected with any busy bar! The best part about this place is definitely the live music, so if you want to have a couple drinks, dance and listen to live music without having to pay a cover fee this is definitely the place to be! read more

Location: conveniently located in Whistler Village, close to the Gondola. It's an easy walk if you are staying in or near the Village. Reservations: we didn't need one since we were there on a Wednesday night in the shoulder season Service: friendly and attentive Ambiance: this place truly felt like we were transported back to a Pub in Ireland! It was lively, warm, with a lot of unique and cute decor What we ordered: Guinness (obviously) Old Fashioned- this was fine for a classic cocktail FOOD: Pretzel sticks with beer cheese and mustard- these were delicious, hot, perfectly salted. The beer cheese was packed with flavor and came out piping hot. Definitely recommend! Bangers and Mash-- great execution of a classic Irish dish, generous portion and potatoes had a nice texture. Fish sandwich-- this was incredible and the star of my night. Fluffy bun with housemade tartar sauce, freshly fried fish which wasn't overly greasy. The perfect ratio of toppings to bread to fish (which is surprisingly hard to come by). Side of fries which they brought out fresh, and I asked for a side of ranch which was housemade and totally delicious! Overall this place had a great vibe and food, highly recommend! read more

After a day on the mountain, something about this place just hits the spot. Ordered a chili and a salad. I had full intentions of a very light meal. These guys loaded me up. The largest salad I've ever seen paired with the largest bowl of chili I've ever seen. Atmosphere was loud and busy with all the people packed in here. read more

Excellent for Apress . Near the Whistler gondola. Great beer. Great food. Excellent service. No wait.

Nice patio, great service, and tasty food. Dropped by on a weekday for lunch and the sun was shining. It was nice to get in a patio meal before leaving Whistler. Our server was friendly and attentive. Peak burger- upgraded to rosemary fries and it was delicious, the dipping sauce went perfectly with it. The burger was a good size and I liked the pickled onions. It did taste a little bit dry, but still a solid burger. Caesar salad- this was a huge portion. It came with plenty of cheese, bacon bits and croutons. I also liked that they didn't overdress the salad with dressing. Sticky toffee pudding- perfect way to end the meal. It was warm, salty, caramelly and went well with the ice cream and whipped cream. Overall, it was a good meal and I'd return again when I'm in whistler! read more

We were wandering the village without a reservation looking for a place for a group of 9 for dinner. a person in our group had been here before and we went for the laid back vibe and plentiful options on the menu. There was no wait so we were seated inside (there is a decent sized patio) on the right side away from the stage, where there was a band playing music. It was crowded and our server was great! Our food did take some time to come out, but they looked busy and this wasn't our server's fault. I debated between one of the burgers and the fish and chips and I'm glad it went with the fish and chips. It came out piping hot and there was a decent amount of food. It was a bit greasy, but the breading was not too thick. the fish was haddock, which I rarely see in fish and chips (usually cod). It came with a lot of fries. I also tried the nachos, which strangely enough cost significantly more than the fish and chips. I also had some of the clam chowder and that was good as well. All portions were huge! Noshame in sharing here. read more

Great location with friendly staff. Super popular and loud meeting venue where you can catch music and sing-a-longs. Ok food with typical mountain prices. read more

The gentleman host was very unwelcoming and seemed annoyed that our larger party was trying to eat here. They don't take reservations so it shouldn't be alarming if a party of any size walks up wanting to get seated. He then communicated that they couldn't fit us inside and then had no helpful recs of other places to try. We said we would be happy to sit outside and he just clearly did not want to deal with a large party and his excuse why we shouldnt sit outside was "your food will get colder faster". This place is not good vibes. We went to Blacks Pub down the street and the staff were so friendly and we had a great time. read more

Seating outside in the summer was cool, under a relative shade, and seating was fast, and courteous. We were served drinks very quickly after ordering by a very friendly and attentive server, who was sure to check in and provided a friendly and upbeat attitude. I ordered the bangers and mash and a lemonade. The lemonade was sour and sweet and went down nicely on a hot day. Not too much sugar not too much acidity, it was very good, albeit standard. You really can't go wrong! The bangers and mash were savoury, with well seasoned gravy, creamy potatoes, and snappy peas. The crispy onions on top? They just took the meal to another level. A perfect addition to the menu. Not overly flavourful, but tasty food, at a relatively good price, with efficient and attentive service in a comfortable atmosphere and casual setting. Highly recommended- a staple of my trips to Whistler :) read more

Well, this place has a good vibe. Lots of people and live music. Lots of traditional Irish offerings on the menu. I sat at the bar but service was only ok. I had to ask just to get a napkin! The Guinness pie didn't taste like Guinness was even part of the recipe, although the portions were good. I'd give it 3.5 stars, it is right off the lifts and an easy stop after a day on the snow. read more

Dubh Linn Gate - Guinness & Beef Pie - Irish Pub Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

So I usually don't come on this app to complain because I think all places deserve a chance. I walk in today and I'm met by the hostess who checks my ID. I'm 22 and she looks at me and says actually we don't serve Americans under 25 because of bad behavior by some of them in the past. I'm sorry what. I just want to have a beer, drinking age is 19 and I'm told because I'm American I can't come in even for food. It's just sad. Honestly do better. I get you had a bad experience in the past but that's not my problem. read more

We were staying at the Pan Pacific Hotel above Dubh Linn Gate, so it was a convenient option during our recent stay in Whistler. This pub has a lively vibe, with lots of rustic dark wood everywhere -- it's a great atmosphere. The first night we visited, we only went for drinks, and I thought the Smoky Margarita sounded good -- it had a mix of tequila and mezcal. At first I was taken aback by how small of a drink I received for $15. But then I actually tried it... and it was really good. Smoky is the perfect description, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited Dubh Linn for dinner the next night. I started with a Smoky Marg again, because it was just that good. This time I didn't care about the price. Our table started with an app of soft oven-baked pretzels, which came with cheese and grainy mustard -- all very good. Fish & chips seem like a staple for Irish food, so I ordered some along with a glass of Guinness. The fish was a large haddock filet, which was fresh with a nice crispy batter (although very slightly greasy). The "chips" were golden brown and tasty, too. Not the best fish & chips I've ever had, but definitely worthy of 4 stars. As someone who enjoys stout / dark beers, I'm surprised I had never tried a Guinness before -- it had to be one of the best stouts I've ever had, and a nice pairing with my dinner. If you are in Whistler and want a fun, noisy environment to get a few drinks, I recommend this spot. read more

Took forever to be seated due to slow line and management not checking for open tables frequently (when we were seated we noted that several tables remained empty for half an hour or more before anyone was seated - and sometimes I think people just grabbed the table). Once seated, we were served very quickly and by a friendly and cheery waiter. Fun bar with reasonable food. Pretzel with cheese and nachos are good bar bites. Get the Smithwicks and Guinness before they run out again! read more

Good beer, great hot chocolate, and a delicious meat pie! The steak pie with poutine is a great sharing dish for 2 medium sized people, especially for lunch after being on the mountain. Staff are very friendly and attentive, even with the restaurant being constantly busy. Great place to warm up and fuel up for the 2nd half of the day! read more

Dubh Linn Gate - Steak and Guinness Pie with Poutine - Irish Pub Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

We are here now, this place is awesome! We got the shepherd's pie, clam chowder, pretzel with cheese and more. They have awesome drinks (we got the Apple cider with alcohol). Everything was perfect. Service was amazing and we are with our 9yr old daughter who loved all the food too. It's not just a pub for drinks, it's a great family place for lunch too. read more

Huge portions, but food is mediocre. - nachos were baked into one solid piece - tasted stale - popcorn chicken oily but a favorite - Caesar over dressed. Ordered this and a bangers and mash and they forgot because they were too busy - poutine, Shepards pie - left more to be desired - burger was fine - equivalent to on the mountain A fun stop for drinks convenient by the mountain, large portions for the hungry, but food quality is not the best. read more

Classic ski bum spot perfect for a comforting greasy and satisfying bite to eat after a long ski day. Place gets packed inside with live music playing. You might be cold walking in but soon you'll want to strip off those layers because it's warm and crowded in there! This is the post ski-day spot in whistler! Highly recommend the chicken nachos, fries and fried chicken sandwich. read more

Visited for a quick lunch during a busy Christmas-week ski day and had a great meal and drinks. Forgot our server's name, but she was very friendly and helpful - my respect for juggling so many tables at once too. We got: * Steak and Guinness pie - very nice crust and tasty fillings * Gatekeeper burger - huge, juicy patty with fresh ingredients Sides: * Steak and guiness pie came with fries - wow these are some tasty fries. These are the bigger style with a nice crisp on the outside but not too dry on the inside. Think Red Robin style. * Swapped the burger's fries for clam chowder - SO GOOD; very rich, creamy, and baconey. Definitely hit the spot on a way-below-freezing, biggest-storm-in-84-years winter weather day. Drinks: * The Shaft, or something like that - Cold brew, kahlua, bailey's, etc. kind of drink. Very smooth and tasty without being too sweet, and still packs a kick that'll wake you up. * Don't remember the other one and can't find the current menu, but it was some sort of spin on a classic egg white drink. Also very tasty. Prices are respectable for ski resort food too - a better value than Longhorn Saloon honestly. Definitely check this place out to warm up and grab some tasty food and drinks. read more

As customers we don't need to be asked to tip a certain amount from the employees. If you drop food at my table and only come back to collect the tab don't expect 20% tipping. Sorry if your employer doesn't pay you appropriate wages, but customers shouldn't be made to cover the spread, increase the prices so we can decide to eat there or elsewhere. read more

We tried here when we were in Whistler for skiing. It was crowded but the service was efficient and we enjoyed what we ordered.

Always can depend on this Irish pub for good beer, fish&chip and fun. Situated right at lifts so easy and quick access when done with skiing. Always crowded but always able to find seats. Staffs are friendly and service usually good. Recently find the salad pretty good for lunch. Everyone must try f&c which pint (or 2) of Guinness !! read more

One line review: Decent Irish pub food, good portions, great service. After arriving for our first-ever weekend in Whistler, we got unpacked at our hotel and walked down from the upper village to find some dinner. We had settled on Dubh Linn Gate ahead of time -- in part, I think, in search of live music to accompany our food. We missed the music, though we were seated next to the stage, so that may have been a blessing on a night when we really wanted to be able to talk. Our server (embarrassed that I didn't get his name) was excellent. He helped us to navigate the menu, made some recommendations at our request, and was accommodating to our requests (like lime for the surprisingly mediocre water; yeah, we're picky about water...). We ordered: * Guinness and steak pie with salad (a delicious pastry crust with steak, potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots in a brown sauce/gravy) * Cottage pie with fries (a typical shepherd's pie with mashed potatoes, ground meat, roasted vegetables, and gravy) * Fentiman's Ginger beer x2 (w/ lime) We settled on the pies as typical Irish cuisine, and they were tasty, abundant, and had a real stick-to-your-ribs quality. We finished it all but mostly out of determination and the fact that we did not have a way to reheat leftovers. If we were to do it again, we'd probably order the Guinness and steak pie and a meal size salad, then split the two. The ginger beer was light and not overly sweet; I found the lime a surprisingly nice accent (discovered on accident, as we had order lime for the water). The walk from the upper village was maybe 15 minutes or slightly less. Very pleasant on a cool, non-rainy fall evening. Bottom line: This was a pleasant experience at a reasonable (for Whistler) price. read more
