Do not be fooled by the prices!! This is not a place where you must dress fancy!!
My friend and I wandered in here dressed to the nines and stuck out like a sore thumb. Next time I would come in a hoodie and sweat pants, trust me. Don’t even think about wearing a dress.
But overall I like the vibe the chairs were comfy, live music was good, and the short rib poutine was decent. You would think there was a drought with how rarely they refilled the waters - so bring a jug with you if you want to stay hydrated.

The lounge offers a wide range of cocktails and is open until midnight making it a great spot to hang out with friends. But the best part is that you can enjoy hanging out in the lounge in your bathrobe after a soothing hour in the jacuzzi and pool—a perfect way to end your night!
The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Food and drinks were amazing. The only problem I live to far away to visit regularly

Moe and Kit, two bartenders at The Mallard Lounge at The Fairmont Whistler made our time in Whistler extra special! The cocktails were delicious and the service was terrific but it was their friendly, welcoming nature that made the experience so much better. Moe also has quite a few magic trips to demonstrate so ask him.

Taylor was an awesome bartender ~ great service and vibe! The burger was amazing, they have the most amazing mocktails (fav was the creamcicle) and non alcoholic wines!

My server Holly was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent evening last night. We went to the lounge for cocktails and some bar snacks and all was fabulous. Really recommend the lounge and Holly as a server!

Great cocktails, but grossly overpriced. Yeah, this is a ski town and this is a nice property, but the prices that I paid for 2 cocktails was ridiculous. I could have bought full bottles of all of the ingredients for less than the price of 2 drinks.
OK, I’ve always been a huge fan of the Fairmont Château Whistler and Fairmont Friday this past week was no different. Superior reception and service and vibe was extraordinary. They run a tight ship and food is served properly and high-quality ingredients and the beverages are heavenly. I think the bar manager is Fred Lemieux and he knows what he’s doing and so does his team. We were 4 at the bar for a few hours and had just an awesome, awesome time. When I’m entertaining it’s my go to place and should be yours as well. Thank you very much Fred, you rock and so does your team 🇨🇦🚴♀️🙏

The Mallard Lounge is the perfect après-ski spot! The food and cocktails are incredible, with great portions that leave you satisfied. The cocktail menu is diverse and creative, offering everything from classic favorites to unique, seasonal concoctions that are expertly crafted. Each drink is a delight, perfectly complementing the cozy, inviting atmosphere.
The ambiance is on point, making you want to stay all day and just soak it in. I appreciated all the pomp and circumstance that is often forgotten in lounges nowadays. The valets were amazing, making parking a breeze, and the location is kid-friendly, which is a big plus. The only downside was that the staff could have been friendlier, but it didn’t overshadow the overall experience.
I highly recommend The Mallard Lounge for anyone looking to relax and enjoy some fantastic food and drinks after a day on the slopes. I’ll definitely be returning!

They used to do great food here. The place is elegant, with great views of the mountain and live music in the evenings, but coming back after two years, the same food I’d ordered before was unrecognizable. The service was just as bad. What is shame, as you’ll spend a small fortune to eat here. When it was good, it was worth it

Been coming to Whistler for years and got to experience my first time at the Mallard Lounge this last time up. There’s tons of room to sit with the open floor plan. Take your pick from couches, comfy chairs, or pull right up to the expansive bar. Fred (Freddy) was our bartender and he was fantastic! Great service/drinks and good food. They feature live music nightly, which is always an added bonus.

Usually the Mallard lounge is great. One night it was great, the 2nd night the food wasn't as good, service was slow. The chicken sandwich on the first night was great. Second night the gnocchi was average at better. Could have got better pasta at a Boston Pizza. Always great entertainment and beautiful patio.

We make a point of visiting the Mallard Bar every time we come to Whistler. We come for the live music and atmosphere, the food never disappoints. On our recent visit (April 11th) we were thrilled with our server Holly. She has such positive energy and was genuinely happy to serve us, taking an interest in our vacation, and inviting us back another day. We will definitely look for her on our next visit!
