Buffalo Bill’s Bar & Grill

Bad music, over priced drinks, lame crowd, and they have a practice of holding you in line to fool everyone that it’s busy inside so they can charge a fortune to let you in.
Never going again.

Fridays are no cover for girls before 1030 but goes up to $ 12 and gets more expensive as the night goes on.
Decent music from top40, 80s, 90s, house, rap, hip hop etc
The downstairs is a club after 9pm and usually packs up by 1030pm

This place is pretty cool. We got in early before the cover started and got a front row seat to the dance floor. The vibe overall was really good and the food was nothing short of amazing for bar food. I would have given 5 stars but I was a little frustrated after being rushed out once we paid. All and all it was a good experience.

Fun times at this bar on a Wednesday night. All the bar tenders are super nice and very attentive.
If it wasn’t for the punk kid who wanted to fight me at the pool table this place would have gotten 5 stars.
Like most bars in Whistler, the Canadians need to learn how to dance.

This place is a super fun bar to go to… We went on a Wednesday night since this was where all the locals go on Wednesdays. If you’re going to go make it a Wednesday and you’ll have a blast.

Seriously, what do you expect? It’s one of the few bars/​clubs in Whistler Village. All the young’uns are gonna come here to party after a day of riding. That includes the 19 year olds, 30 year olds, 40 year olds, and anyone who want to be near any or all of these age groups. I didn’t care for the music — it was very techno-​y and I’m not much a fan.
We arrived early — around 9:15. No cover? Cool! So we make our way down and there is a mandatory coat check. Okay — no prob. Makes sense — why would you want all the folks in their snow-​drenched big coats walking around the place. Coat check lady tells us that coat check is $ 8, plus $ 3 for cover. Huh?! Um — what happened to no cover? And how the hell does coat check cost more than cover, AND $ 8! I’ve never paid $ 8 coat check even in the city! But what choice did we have. .. we were there and after trekking through the village in the snow, we stayed.
Because we arrived so early, we saw what the place looks like sans the grungy folks looking to get bombed or laid or both. And it’s actually a nice place. There is seating, nice bar, pool table in the back area, and it’s a large space.
Let’s just all remember we are in a ski resort area — have an open mind and proper expectations and you can have yourself a good time.

Boys boys & more boys ! Where are your parents? Lost in a sea of ski hats and plaid flannel shirts, you might find the dance floor or a pool table, but good luck getting to the bartender or anyone that you might want to have a meaningful conversation with ;)
The music was a little schizophrenic shifting from techno oontz oontz and random old school songs, but definitely entertaining. Canadians and powder chasers know how to have a good time and don’t care about how they look when they dance !
Make sure to get there before 10 if you want a table or to avoid waiting outside in line. The cover was only $ 3 but «mandatory» coat check was $ 8, we joked about running to the club without a jacket to avoid the extra cost. This was a Wed night.
I love the way the place is decorated, but you won’t get the opportunity to see or enjoy it once everyone gets inside. Ladies be warned, this is a serious sausage-​fest (felt like 10:1 ratio), but the plus is most of them seemed harmless and underage.

If you feel like getting lied to and raped of your money, go here. You’ll love it.
We had a team participate in Tough Mudder. We were recommended to make reservations (not guest list, RESERVATIONS) for DINNER at this BAR AND GRILL. We called three weeks ago and made reservations for dinner. We were never told that the after party for Tough Mudder would be there.
Fast forward to last night.
We show up 15 minutes before our reservation time. I’m a little hesitant because I see there’s bouncers at the door. Red flag. I think that it seems a little strange considering we have dinner reservations and it’s a bar and grill. It shouldn’t turn in to a club until 10 like most places, right? Wrong. They tell us they don’t actually have a table for us but they are going to bring us in and figure something out. We are taken downstairs, we are told to pay cover and check our coats. Cover is 18 dollars. Red flag. We reluctantly pay over cover and the mandatory coat check. We are then brought in to the CLUB because that’s basically what it was. A really shitty club. They drop us off at one of the bars and tell us the bartender will take care of us while we wait for them to sort out our seating situation. My friends order some drinks. $ 8.50 for a bottle of beer. $ 14.50 for a «martini» — half a shot of sourpuss and half a shot of vodka. Red flag. I got fed up after about fifteen minutes of waiting to be seated at a table, so I wandered around the «restaurant.» I only saw three sections that could accommodate our group, and no one looked like they were about to leave. I went to the front door and told one of the door guys our situation and that were going to leave and come back, since we paid cover. He insisted I talk to a manager so he could try and get us a table at another establishment owned by the same group. After waiting another ten minutes and never speaking to a manager, I told the young man at the door that we were leaving. As we were getting stamps on our way out, we were told that if we leave now we might not get back in because it will «likely be very very busy but with a stamp you can go in the express line up.» Great.
So because we had made reservations, we had to wander around the village on a super busy night and try to find a table for eight. We explained our situation to what turned out to be the General Manager of Citta’s and he managed to get us two tables. We were elated that he was able to fit us in considering.
We never went back to Buffalo Bill’s. We were exhausted by the time we had finished eating and we really didn’t want to go back to that hole in the ground.
Anytime I come back to Whistler, I will avoid Bill’s like the plague and any other establishment owned by them. I will be telling all of my friends, acquaintance and stranger I hear talking about going up to Whistler.

This is a place I always stop at when I make a trip up to Whistler with my friends. It’s good for a pitcher of beer and a few rounds of pool. They have plenty of TVs playing lots of games, large booths, and wings — full bar as well.

Hate sauce.
I like dingy bars, no word of a lie. Most days the dingier the better, this day, no this bar? Not so much — first of all the service can lick my hairy nuts (and I don’t even own a pair) I stood at the bar watching greasy haired dude after greasy haired dude get served prior to me even when they approached the bar after me — I finally just enlisted one of them to just order for me and gave him my money — that’s a first for me.
Luckily one of my friends knew someone important so we didn’t wait in line or pay cover, instead we were ushered to some odd back door, whatever. After listening to awful music and getting numerous drinks dumped on me by meat heads I was done preferring to get the hell outta of there with what little dignity I had left, my time and money are better spent elsewhere — I will not be back.

Came here this past weekend on a mission to find my friend, but it is hard when you can’t exactly use your phone in canada without racking up your phone bill.
It was ladies night and they tried to charge me and my girl friend $ 12 each… I thought it was ladie’s night? Should that mean we get in for free??? Well we just wanted to find our friend so we tried to just peek through the windows and the doorman let us do BOGO. So we went in. This place was COUGAR VILLE CENTRAL! It was funny. Didnt find our friend but had a good laugh at the older crowd of people there.

I would rather give a kid in the street $ 18 to kick me in the beads than to pay cover for this place.
If you love jock jams this is your bread and butter. Not saying it is a bad place, but I’m in my room now watching jazzercize and I’m pretty sure I’m better entertained.
Hey go rip n tear this beast up if that’s what your heart desires.

We went after the band had finished playing so the place had cleared out, but while we were there, it was a nice divey place just to hang out. There was good music playing, friendly bartenders and free pool tables! It was also one of the few places open late on a Monday night.
I don’t know if we would have had as much fun if we went when it was crowded, but I’d go back.

This place is so «meh» I took a long time going between 2 stars or 3 stars.
Very generic, nothing special. Whistler is certainly lacking in terms of night life.
That being said, it wasn’t terribly dreadful. I danced, I drank, I had a decent time.

This place is definitely one of «the» Whistler hot spots on a Friday night. Friday night is ladies night which means free admission for ladies before 10pm; if you arrive after 10, as we did (mistakenly thinking the cut off time was 11), cover is $ 18. In many ways, it’s a typical club. Over-​crowded dance floor, under-​dressed servers, and tables and booths in the slightly less-​crowded peripheral areas to get some much needed air after a few songs on the jam-​packed dance floor. Trust me, you will be thankful for the less-​crowded outer areas once the club gets full of dancing bodies.
On the other hand, the club is slightly atypical in that it also features pool tables and arcade games you would more likely find in a «pub» atmosphere, and you will find a very eclectic mix of people and music. There were medleys of almost every type of music from house to Michael Jackson to country. So don’t expect to hear top 40 hits all night. Also I found the age range varied widely, especially considering the venue. Overall, it was a fun experience, no better or worse than a typical dance club, although at times I didn’t think the music selection was very amenable to dancing. Nevertheless, as I said, definitely a hot spot if you’re looking to party where the action is at Whistler.

You can find a wide range of people here. Lifties, divorcees, your mom, bachelor and bachelorette parties, young and old. Because of such a diverse crowd, the DJ plays a large range of music types which lends to a disjointed play list. Nevertheless, the energy is decent and people are there to let loose. It’s one of the better clubs in Whistler.

My judgment is clouded. Every time on my way to Buffalo Bills I dread it. The douches. The cougars. The stags. The stagettes. But every time, without fail, I have a good time.
So what makes for a good time at Buffalo Bills? Here’s my alphabet soup version.
A) A/​C over by the ATM.
B) Body shots. Never me, but I always see em.
C) Cheers to the crazy girl who is getting married.
D) Dance your brains out.
E) Enthusiasm. The more you look like you want to be there, the funner it will get.
F) Friends. Go with a big group of friends. Stake out a spot for you and your crew.
G) Give’r
H) Hangovers, expect em.
I) Icebreakers don’t work here, just dance.
J) Just dance.
K) Karaōke, sorta. Belt out songs on the dance floor, everyone will be singing along too.
L) Line dance.
M) Make outs on the dance floor.
N) Never tell. Whatever happens at Bills, stays at Bills.
O) Old guys. They are always good for a laugh.
P) Pre-​drink, a lot. Because you won’t get very far with $ 7.75 single highballs.
Q) Quantity over quality of drinks here.
R) Raise a little hell all over the dance floor!
S) Shooters. Rounds and rounds of shooters.
T) Take lots of pictures or ridiculous things.
U) Ugly lights, watch for those and
V) Vacate before they close.
W) Watch your wallet. This place is expensive.
X) ???
Y) Yee haw. Promise, there’ll be at least one cowboy hat hanging around.
Z) Zoo… yup, that’s the bathroom stalls look like.
Disclaimer: I have been here twice on a stagette and more times than I care to share on various weekends of youthful debauchery.

do you like ‘pour some sugar on me’ and cougars?
do you like standing in line for a half hour in the cold to pay a $ 20 cover? YES? then have i got the place for you!
i don’t care for most of the above mentioned items, (okay, i do have some fond memories of def leopard from high school parties) but i certainly won’t scoff at anyone who enjoys this scene. to each his own.
(okay, did i just say i won’t scoff at this scene, because i totally didn’t mean it.)
thank god there are better bars sitting under the same sky as buffalo bills. i know it’s a tourist city, and these bars can get away with being utterly unhip. i’m sure they do very well and are in no hurry to start appealing to the ironic gay dive bar lovers– i hate to say it, but hetero-​slut-​party is a winning formula.
COUGAR BAR!!!

I don’t know why they call this a club because it is just a big cowboy version of Sharkeez
in Hermosa Beach. A place you go to drink, get some food and then at night people dance.
They have an outdoor patio with misters in the summer (it get damn hot up there) so you can watch the hard core mountain bikers hitch their bikes up for some booze.
It’s fun… good people watching.
Oh and Skylar L. I wouldn’t take any of them home they are too… mountain man/​creepy for me too.

By far the worst club in Whistler. It’s just awful. The creepiest guys (I’m talking alpine lifties) are the ones who inhabit this hellhole. I never got hot people would wait three hours in the snow on Wednesdays.
The only cool thing about this place was the Halloween 2006 scare maze. It was pretty awesome.
