 Directions

The Longhorn Saloon & Grill has been an iconic place to après and party since it opened in 1981. Based at the bottom of Whistler Mountain it’s at the heart of the action. The scene here got even bigger this year with the addition of a new patio, the ideal spot for a plate of legendary nachos and a cold glass of beer. At the Longhorn it’s an occasion every day with people celebrating anything and everything with us. Beer lives here – raise a glass with us!

Event details
