FireRock Lounge
Beside the lower station of the Whistler Village Gondola, this spacious chalet-style bar and restaurant is a popular après-ski spot. The roaring fire provides comfort and warmth after a day on the slopes. In summer, hikers coming down off the mountains are drawn to the large patio, which offers views of the surrounding peaks.
The basics
FireRock Lounge offers a range of dining options, from bar snacks to lunch and dinner meals. Drink choices are plentiful too and include local BC craft beers, Scotch whiskies, wine, and a cocktail list that makes use of seasonal ingredients. Some dining and food tours of Whistler include a stop at FireRock Lounge, during which participants can taste specially selected dishes. The venue also hosts occasional events, including live music performances and themed parties.

When to get there
The FireRock Lounge is open daily from late morning until after midnight. In winter, things pick up in late afternoon and early evening as skiers and snowboarders come off the mountain and into the lounge.
The Whistler Village Gondola
FireRock Lounge is situated near the Village Olympic Station, the lower station of the Whistler Village Gondola—one of the most heavily-used cable cars in the resort. Climb aboard and ride up to Roundhouse Station. Once there, board the Peak 2 Peak Gondola, which spans the valley between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains and offers bird’s-eye views of surrounding peaks and glaciers.
