Crystal Lounge

So glad we stumbled upon this place during our visit! Our waitress was so sweet and helped us immediately when we sat down. Good food and happy hour specials too! A great little bar to take a break from the day.

Another great happy hour spot! We stopped here for lunch one day to take a break from skiing. During happy hour, their wings are 40 cents each (you have to order them in sets of 10). During dinner, I believe their wings are 60 cents. However, if you are staying at the Crystal, you can get wings for 30 cents each (which we gladly took advantage of).
We had the honey garlic wings, which were super good. They have some other flavors to choose from, but I tend not to like hot wings… so the honey garlic were perfect. In addition to great wings, they have several drink specials. You can get an 8 oz glass of Shiraz or Pinot Grigio for $ 6.25! Such a steal… they also have shots of honey Jacks and fireball for somewhere between $ 4-​$ 5. Finally, they have daily drink specials.
The place is located about 2 – 3 minutes from the bottom ski lifts. Although it was a little dark and dreary inside, I definitely enjoyed the food and found the drinks super reasonably priced. My only complaint is that they don’t open until 1. With that said, I will most certainly be back.

Stopped in for lunch for the wing special one day. Bartender was very friendly. Good came quick, beer was cold, overall great experience. It was kind of hidden but great for getting away from the rat race that Whistler Village seems to be. Would definitely come back.

Monday/​07÷20÷15 –They have a sign on the front says happy hour 10pm-​close /​30cent wings = no wings due to the kitchen being closed at 10pm. Makes sense… nope, apparently this only means on weekends or when they have a rush the kitchen will be open after 10pm :(

Good food at affordable prices in the village!
We came here during happy hour and had their wings on special, their tomato basil pizza, and their Mediterranean salad.
The wings weren’t decent as we had 3 orders — salt and pepper, hot, and honey garlic. The salt and pepper were just a tad bit salty but it is salt and pepper so it’s justified. The hot and honey garlic were good and highly recommended!
Pizza was more like a flat bread but nonetheless it was good and so was the salad. Atmosphere here is very laid back, and great for snowboarders/​skiers who wanna hang out here after a day on the mountain.

this was our most visited pub because the prices were almost the best around. We learned to follow the snow boards for the best happy hour prices. The staff was by far the funniest group. desperation drove us to order the chicken wings on special and are the tiniest little chicken wings, they must get them from chicks just hatched.

Grungy little dark pub lounge on the ground floor of the cascade hotel. Not the best food, but you come here for the cheap pitchers and live music. If you’re drunk enough, you can order the scrawny cheap wings for a salty delight on your tongue.
Good place for some good times, we come here every night when we are in town.

The wings here are the

You got it going on, Whistler!
The hot and honey, salt and pepper and BBQ wings were crazy delicious. Best I’ve had in Canada.
A real plus that this joint takes the time to make their ranch and blue cheese dressing fresh! You know how to please this little lady, Crystal!
The drinks were tasty, the service was prompt and the bill was cheap.
Best place in Whistler for some well made drinks and unbelievable wings!

A true Ratskeller with cozy dark environs and the Olympics on TV. Not into carpets in a bar, but it does take the chill off and gives something for wet ski clothes to drip on so you don’t go slipping and falling in your cruel shoe ski boots! I believe this might be one of the only karaōke places in the village. Ill give them a 2 for the 20 cent happy hour chicken wings – very small and flavorless. But you pay for what you get, especially in Whistler!

I would stay at the Crystal Lodge again just for the lounge. The location is great and the drink specials and wings even better! John took care of me and my husband throughout our stay and it was great. He provided great service and was the man behind the bar!

This is the perfect place to come for post-​ski/​snowboarding snacking. The wings are good and ridiculously cheap during happy hour (if you stay at Crystal Lodge, you can get 10 free wings with a special voucher!). The atmosphere is laid back and casual. The bartender is cool – one of the friendliest bartenders I have ever had.

For my buddies and I, this place is absolute tradition. After hitting the slopes and being covered in pow, descending the stairs into this warm haven of wings, beers, armchairs, awesome screens for sports or cool things to watch, and an actually pretty tasty french onion soup. If you are lucky, you get the super comfy lounge area at the back. We always get the lounge area. Tradition!
If you ride Whistler Blackcomb, making sure you come here is about as important as making sure you hit a hot tub that night. Also, get the honey-​hot wings. BEST.

40 cent chicken wings with beer… the perfect après-​ski. it’s located right in the village, and the perfect place to head after a day on the mountains, especially if it’s not particularly nice or sunny outside.
really comfy chairs, the service is usually good, and huge tv screens everywhere where you can watch the sport of your choice. it does get quite packed though on the weekends because of the great chicken wing deal (and their drinks are also reasonably priced) so you have to come in and scout out tables like vultures in order to get a spot.

I came here during my New Years trip in 2011. Whistler is an amazing place to visit during this time of year.
After a day of hitting the slopes, I was in need for some beer and entertainment. We wanted to check it out because of the great happy hour specials. I ordered beer and the mussels. Everything was great, I’m sure the locals love this place because of the killer deals they offer.
On our next trip, we’ll make sure to go on karaōke night!

It smells like a locker room for a swimming pool. Because it’s underneath the crystal hotel next to the Old Spaghetti factory the chlorine from the pool definitely seeps in here. It’s usually packed with very little standing room and is hot and muggy. Didn’t stay long… not even the drink special enticed our group to make the humidity worth staying here.

Its really chill and relaxed at this lounge. Great place to just grab a few drinks, chat with friends, and have a game of pool. Its also nice to just chill on the couches or lounge chairs and watch a Canucks game or any other sport they have on one of their many tvs. The food is fairly good as well. I’ve tried the chicken dippers, calamari, and cheese bread here.

i stop by the crystal on a regular basis as a bunch of my friends really like the wing special. the place is generally packed after a day of skiing and the live music can be pretty fun.
my beef with the crystal:
1) the wings. i know they’re only .35 a wing but they come out cold and tasting like they’ve been through a nuclear reactor. they cook the wings at the old spaghetti factory across the hall and they always come out rubbery.
2) i’ve had a few bad pitchers of beer here. i think the crystal is a little lazy on cleaning their lines and making sure their CO2 is flowing correctly.
this place is a good deal for apres but i never leave feeling all that satisfied.

Another great lounge, very relaxed and chilled.
A fireplace, big seats and lots of friends and beers make this a fun place to be!

This was the go-​to bar for most of my friends. They loved it. The drink specials, karaōke nights and $.10 hot wing days.
They loved it. I didn’t. I think it smells like the pool that is just out the door. It’s dank and fills up to the point of not being able to move without shoving your ass in someone’s face. This isn’t the last place I would go to get a beer in Whistler, but it certainly isn’t the first either.
I feel like I just don’t get it since, again, all my friends — even the ones who worked at other bars — loved it here.
