Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub

We came here out first day for Apres Ski after visiting another nearby. Both had good service. The other one and the one beside it had a clubby, "oontz oontz" vibe. If that's your thing, more power to ya! But, this place had a guitar player / singer which we much preferred. It was a much more laid back vibe overall. But, it was an Irish Pub. So... Jessica was our server. She was friendly and fast. That may be the norm here, but we'd ask for her again. We'll be hitting up this place a LOT on our trip!

Had a late dinner here while staying at Whistler. It is a cool looking Irish pub with traditional pub food. They host live music and it can get loud. I ordered a Beef dip, the aujou was tasty with a nice rosemary flavor however the bun was burnt and there was not very much meat at all. My wife had the fish tacos which looked amazing but the fish was breaded and a little greasy. Out server did not some back to check on us and ask how our food was and it took a long time for a refill on our drinks, like we were forgot about for a while. It is a nice pub however and I'm sure the experience is not always like ours.

We visited this pub on a stopover in Whistler. We initially were only staying for one drink, however the atmosphere and the live duo were so good, we stopped for the evening. We had already eaten, however the food which we did see looked delicious and well presented, plus large portions. The staff were really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about their beers. The pub itself had plenty of seating both inside and out, plus a fab fire pit for cold nights. The decoration was typical for an Irish pub and quirky, which added to it's appeal. It was popular and really busy. It really made a perfect end to our evening in Whistler. I would definitely recommend this pub.

Dinner was great – lots of gluten-free choices and really tasty food that arrived quickly even though it was busy! Breakfast was a different story. Despite being one of the few tables occupied, our food took almost 40 minutes to arrive, leaving us little time to eat before a long drive. We also weren't able to order drinks as our server was MIA after taking our order.

Great food and great service. Food portions were massive! We couldn’t eat everything! Massive shout out to the Newcastle guys that were serving us. Definitely a great experience chatting to them. Highly recommend

We had a delicious dinner here! We almost stopped earlier in week for a mid day snack & I’m glad we didn’t. We had the pretzel & cheese for an app(I will say the cheese needs some more flavor/spice). Also, is the pretzel from the freezer? It would definitely be better off if it was fresh (craft 96 iykyk). However, the cottage pie was 💯. The gravy was delish! The gravy should be added to the cheese for the pretzel (hint hint). Caesar salad was yum as well. Husband said clam chowder was great for this side of the Mississippi. All in all, this may be our best culinary experience out of the 15 places we have visited in Whistler over four nights.

The best staff ever. Everyone was so friendly and nice. Food is so good and they have a great cocktail menu as well. Extremely dog friendly - they even brought out a bed for our dog to lay on while we ate and a bunch of the waitstaff came over just to give her pets. Usually with super pet friendly places you have to sacrifice on great quality food and service and that was absolutely not the case here. 10/10 experience.

I dined in alone and unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the service. It took about 20 minutes before anyone came to take my order, and then another 30 minutes before the food arrived. During my entire visit, the server never once checked on me until I had to call her over for the bill. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, and I noticed she was attentive to other tables but ignored mine, which made me feel very unwelcome. On a positive note, I ordered the chicken rice bowl and it was delicious — flavorful and well prepared. It’s a shame that the great food was overshadowed by the poor service.

What is not to love about Dubh Linn Gate?? First off, the location is prime, right at the base of the lifts. Second off - the food is delicious! What better spot to sit for a hot meal after a day on the mountain? And lastly - the vibe. Friendly staff and tentative staff to make sure you have all you need. Last time we were in, we had the Parmesan chicken bites which were some of the best I've had - flavorful with a crispy outside and a tender inside - and the grilled cheese - with the best bread I've ever had for a cheesy sandwich. Even my picker eaters cleared their plates! The time before, my friend and I posted up outside by the fire while our husbands hit the slopes. They didn't seem to mind and we enjoyed the quality time, drinks, and view. If you're looking for something slightly different than the usual while in Whistler, I can't recommend this place enough.

We came for drinks only. They were pretty busy. We did not stay for the live band. We were barhopping.. but they made a really good espresso martini. I think I had like nitro in it. So good I could have had two . I definitely recommend it. It seems like a fun place . Wide range of ages there . I didn't feel old ! lol

Location: conveniently located in Whistler Village, close to the Gondola. It's an easy walk if you are staying in or near the Village. Reservations: we didn't need one since we were there on a Wednesday night in the shoulder season Service: friendly and attentive Ambiance: this place truly felt like we were transported back to a Pub in Ireland! It was lively, warm, with a lot of unique and cute decor What we ordered: Guinness (obviously) Old Fashioned- this was fine for a classic cocktail FOOD: Pretzel sticks with beer cheese and mustard- these were delicious, hot, perfectly salted. The beer cheese was packed with flavor and came out piping hot. Definitely recommend! Bangers and Mash-- great execution of a classic Irish dish, generous portion and potatoes had a nice texture. Fish sandwich-- this was incredible and the star of my night. Fluffy bun with housemade tartar sauce, freshly fried fish which wasn't overly greasy. The perfect ratio of toppings to bread to fish (which is surprisingly hard to come by). Side of fries which they brought out fresh, and I asked for a side of ranch which was housemade and totally delicious! Overall this place had a great vibe and food, highly recommend!

I had a great time at the Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub in Whistler. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. I especially enjoyed the burgers and fries. The pub also has a good selection of beers and cocktails. Overall, I would highly recommend the Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub to anyone looking for a fun and casual place to eat and drink in Whistler. The pub is located in the heart of Whistler Village, making it easier to get back to the sli slopes.

Well, this place has a good vibe. Lots of people and live music. Lots of traditional Irish offerings on the menu. I sat at the bar but service was only ok. I had to ask just to get a napkin! The Guinness pie didn't taste like Guinness was even part of the recipe, although the portions were good. I'd give it 3.5 stars, it is right off the lifts and an easy stop after a day on the snow.

Perfect place after a day of skiing. Nice comfort food in a very friendly atmosphere.

Nice patio, great service, and tasty food. Dropped by on a weekday for lunch and the sun was shining. It was nice to get in a patio meal before leaving Whistler. Our server was friendly and attentive. Peak burger- upgraded to rosemary fries and it was delicious, the dipping sauce went perfectly with it. The burger was a good size and I liked the pickled onions. It did taste a little bit dry, but still a solid burger. Caesar salad- this was a huge portion. It came with plenty of cheese, bacon bits and croutons. I also liked that they didn't overdress the salad with dressing. Sticky toffee pudding- perfect way to end the meal. It was warm, salty, caramelly and went well with the ice cream and whipped cream. Overall, it was a good meal and I'd return again when I'm in whistler!

We were wandering the village without a reservation looking for a place for a group of 9 for dinner. a person in our group had been here before and we went for the laid back vibe and plentiful options on the menu. There was no wait so we were seated inside (there is a decent sized patio) on the right side away from the stage, where there was a band playing music. It was crowded and our server was great! Our food did take some time to come out, but they looked busy and this wasn't our server's fault. I debated between one of the burgers and the fish and chips and I'm glad it went with the fish and chips. It came out piping hot and there was a decent amount of food. It was a bit greasy, but the breading was not too thick. the fish was haddock, which I rarely see in fish and chips (usually cod). It came with a lot of fries. I also tried the nachos, which strangely enough cost significantly more than the fish and chips. I also had some of the clam chowder and that was good as well. All portions were huge! Noshame in sharing here.

Ok, this is a wonderful old school Irish pub.... It is a great place to meet friends, or maybe meet new friends... The staff was great, friendly and attentive, even though the place got super busy.. I want to come back here

Really enjoyed the coziness. The ambiance is warm and dark. We were able to hide away in a corner booth area. It was allergy friendly. The staff was great. No pics of food bec we were so hungry!

We are here now, this place is awesome! We got the shepherd's pie, clam chowder, pretzel with cheese and more. They have awesome drinks (we got the Apple cider with alcohol). Everything was perfect. Service was amazing and we are with our 9yr old daughter who loved all the food too. It's not just a pub for drinks, it's a great family place for lunch too.

We just popped in here for a light lunch/snack after our ziplining tour (we got 20% off for having done the ziplining tour). We had wings, popcorn chicken, and pork tacos. All were good.

Seating outside in the summer was cool, under a relative shade, and seating was fast, and courteous. We were served drinks very quickly after ordering by a very friendly and attentive server, who was sure to check in and provided a friendly and upbeat attitude. I ordered the bangers and mash and a lemonade. The lemonade was sour and sweet and went down nicely on a hot day. Not too much sugar not too much acidity, it was very good, albeit standard. You really can't go wrong! The bangers and mash were savoury, with well seasoned gravy, creamy potatoes, and snappy peas. The crispy onions on top? They just took the meal to another level. A perfect addition to the menu. Not overly flavourful, but tasty food, at a relatively good price, with efficient and attentive service in a comfortable atmosphere and casual setting. Highly recommended- a staple of my trips to Whistler :)

Warm cozy ambiance, and service was extremely quick on a Friday night! Like within 5 minutes, the burger arrived. The burger bun was dry but the rest of the burger was decent. Fries were crispy, and the flagship beer was refreshing. The chestnut beer was a bit heavy and sweet for my taste. I was hoping to catch some live music but maybe they were on a long break?

We were staying at the Pan Pacific Hotel above Dubh Linn Gate, so it was a convenient option during our recent stay in Whistler. This pub has a lively vibe, with lots of rustic dark wood everywhere -- it's a great atmosphere. The first night we visited, we only went for drinks, and I thought the Smoky Margarita sounded good -- it had a mix of tequila and mezcal. At first I was taken aback by how small of a drink I received for $15. But then I actually tried it... and it was really good. Smoky is the perfect description, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited Dubh Linn for dinner the next night. I started with a Smoky Marg again, because it was just that good. This time I didn't care about the price. Our table started with an app of soft oven-baked pretzels, which came with cheese and grainy mustard -- all very good. Fish & chips seem like a staple for Irish food, so I ordered some along with a glass of Guinness. The fish was a large haddock filet, which was fresh with a nice crispy batter (although very slightly greasy). The "chips" were golden brown and tasty, too. Not the best fish & chips I've ever had, but definitely worthy of 4 stars. As someone who enjoys stout / dark beers, I'm surprised I had never tried a Guinness before -- it had to be one of the best stouts I've ever had, and a nice pairing with my dinner. If you are in Whistler and want a fun, noisy environment to get a few drinks, I recommend this spot.

Super friendly staff, great outdoor patio. If you have a dog, this is the only pub in the area that allows dogs. Food was decent. They have live music some nights. Great place!

Bram is amazing. Has my business for life! Love the night atmosphere along with the food and band. Second to none. Service was super quick considering the crowd.

First of all we had the best server Adra she was magnificent helping my daughter with her dairy allergy. The food was very good and the portions were large I ordered the falafel wrap filled with hummus tahini sauce and lettuce and tomatoes. Very fresh and delicious. My husband got the crispy chicken sandwich and my daughter the blt. Everyone was happy

As customers we don't need to be asked to tip a certain amount from the employees. If you drop food at my table and only come back to collect the tab don't expect 20% tipping. Sorry if your employer doesn't pay you appropriate wages, but customers shouldn't be made to cover the spread, increase the prices so we can decide to eat there or elsewhere.

We tried here when we were in Whistler for skiing. It was crowded but the service was efficient and we enjoyed what we ordered.

Good beer, great hot chocolate, and a delicious meat pie! The steak pie with poutine is a great sharing dish for 2 medium sized people, especially for lunch after being on the mountain. Staff are very friendly and attentive, even with the restaurant being constantly busy. Great place to warm up and fuel up for the 2nd half of the day!

Vibes and food were great. Love the music as well. The service was pretty bad though. After being seated it took 20 minutes to even be greeted and get a drink order. It wasn't busy and lots of people around us got service while we just sat there.

Came here on a rec from a local and loved it. Went on New Year's Eve for some dinner and beer and enjoyed every bit. Super cute pub vibe with great service and friendly staff. Cottage pie to die for

Huge portions, but food is mediocre. - nachos were baked into one solid piece - tasted stale - popcorn chicken oily but a favorite - Caesar over dressed. Ordered this and a bangers and mash and they forgot because they were too busy - poutine, Shepards pie - left more to be desired - burger was fine - equivalent to on the mountain A fun stop for drinks convenient by the mountain, large portions for the hungry, but food quality is not the best.

Classic ski bum spot perfect for a comforting greasy and satisfying bite to eat after a long ski day. Place gets packed inside with live music playing. You might be cold walking in but soon you'll want to strip off those layers because it's warm and crowded in there! This is the post ski-day spot in whistler! Highly recommend the chicken nachos, fries and fried chicken sandwich.

Visited for a quick lunch during a busy Christmas-week ski day and had a great meal and drinks. Forgot our server's name, but she was very friendly and helpful - my respect for juggling so many tables at once too. We got: * Steak and Guinness pie - very nice crust and tasty fillings * Gatekeeper burger - huge, juicy patty with fresh ingredients Sides: * Steak and guiness pie came with fries - wow these are some tasty fries. These are the bigger style with a nice crisp on the outside but not too dry on the inside. Think Red Robin style. * Swapped the burger's fries for clam chowder - SO GOOD; very rich, creamy, and baconey. Definitely hit the spot on a way-below-freezing, biggest-storm-in-84-years winter weather day. Drinks: * The Shaft, or something like that - Cold brew, kahlua, bailey's, etc. kind of drink. Very smooth and tasty without being too sweet, and still packs a kick that'll wake you up. * Don't remember the other one and can't find the current menu, but it was some sort of spin on a classic egg white drink. Also very tasty. Prices are respectable for ski resort food too - a better value than Longhorn Saloon honestly. Definitely check this place out to warm up and grab some tasty food and drinks.

This place was an every night event. Didn't have food. Service is good. Live music is the best.

We were able to get seats right away and Audra was our waitress. She was amazing!!! I have an allergy and she was so helpful and informed. She had the answers already and didn't have to run back and check, which was refreshing. She was really willing to answer my questions and that is nice when you are in a different country. Prices are a bit high, but you get A LOT of food and it's pretty typical for the area.

Kinda pricey for what it is. Got a couple beers and the fish and chips. It was good and large portions, served was also kind of

We stopped here for an arrival treat For dinner and drinks. I had the clam chowder that was great. Had large potato chunks nummy. My husband had the cottage pie which was amazing! Will be back for one to myself!

Servers are accommodating and nice. Servings are humongous. Good late night eats. We ordered small nachos and thought they gave us big nachos by accident. At the end of it, I ate the veggies on the chicken wing platter just to feel a little better about all the nachos I ate. Yum

Great fun place! Good Irish beer if you like that and great food! Nachos were delicious and huge but our favorite were the cauliflower bites!!

Took 45 minutes for them to even notice we were there once we had been seated by the host. Their kids menu food wasn't good, both kids found the meal bland. They had nice music but we were seated right where the fire pit and patio heater was so it was really hot. Overall would not recommend.

Always can depend on this Irish pub for good beer, fish&chip and fun. Situated right at lifts so easy and quick access when done with skiing. Always crowded but always able to find seats. Staffs are friendly and service usually good. Recently find the salad pretty good for lunch. Everyone must try f&c which pint (or 2) of Guinness !!

This has to be my favorite place to get chicken parm in Whistler. The servers are always very kind and friendly, and the meals are always filling and delicious. The menu has a wide variety of both meals and drinks, and the restaurant is very well decorated.

Worst customer service and a general all around bad attitude from the 3 staff we have dealt with so far . This place is a ghost town , you would think that customer service is a top priority right now . How does an "Irish pub " not have any stouts or Guinness in stock , half of the drinks on the menus include Guinness . Too many staff generally standing around . Not impressed won't be back .

Went there for a Guiness and they were sold out of Guiness. That's a failure to prepare. Went back again a few days later and yes, they had Guiness again. We sat outside around the fire pit and must have overstayed our welcome because after an hour they CRAKNED UP THE VOLUME REALLY LOUD ON CRAPPY DISCO MUSIC forcing us to leave. Just have the decency and balls to ask us to move. It was hours before closing. Really shitty thing to do. Been to hundreds of Irish bars and never treated this way.

Best food I've had in a longgg time, got the nachos (huge, even for small) the fries and the popcorn chicken.

The Dubh Linn gate is always a great experience. The Guinness has great flow and the meals are wonderful pub fare. For a fun apres ski go to the Dubh Linn gate. I have been going there for 30 years.

A authentic Irish pub right off the slopes what more do you need!!! Beer list was great, I recommend the Pilsner on draft. The bangers and mash/ cottage pie were to die for.

It's always hard to find a good "spur-of-the-moment" good place to eat but this place was awesome. We ordered the steak and Guinness pie and it was awesome. The steak was tender, the crust was light and flakey. Combine that with a Black and Tan and, well, you've go the luck of the Irish on your side.

One line review: Decent Irish pub food, good portions, great service. After arriving for our first-ever weekend in Whistler, we got unpacked at our hotel and walked down from the upper village to find some dinner. We had settled on Dubh Linn Gate ahead of time -- in part, I think, in search of live music to accompany our food. We missed the music, though we were seated next to the stage, so that may have been a blessing on a night when we really wanted to be able to talk. Our server (embarrassed that I didn't get his name) was excellent. He helped us to navigate the menu, made some recommendations at our request, and was accommodating to our requests (like lime for the surprisingly mediocre water; yeah, we're picky about water...). We ordered: * Guinness and steak pie with salad (a delicious pastry crust with steak, potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots in a brown sauce/gravy) * Cottage pie with fries (a typical shepherd's pie with mashed potatoes, ground meat, roasted vegetables, and gravy) * Fentiman's Ginger beer x2 (w/ lime) We settled on the pies as typical Irish cuisine, and they were tasty, abundant, and had a real stick-to-your-ribs quality. We finished it all but mostly out of determination and the fact that we did not have a way to reheat leftovers. If we were to do it again, we'd probably order the Guinness and steak pie and a meal size salad, then split the two. The ginger beer was light and not overly sweet; I found the lime a surprisingly nice accent (discovered on accident, as we had order lime for the water). The walk from the upper village was maybe 15 minutes or slightly less. Very pleasant on a cool, non-rainy fall evening. Bottom line: This was a pleasant experience at a reasonable (for Whistler) price.

You have to try the brunch poutine, I'm dreaming of it months later!! Excellent service as well.

Great place. I came here tonight. It was tough because it was very crowded but that speaks to the popularity and level of appreciation people have for this bar. BRAM and SOPHIE provided exceptional service. Despite the overwhelming crowd. Thank you Bram and Sophie for a good time

Finally a Pimms Cup done exceptionally well. So good I had two! Loved my Pork, Brie & Apple Sandwich and I don't normally get sandwiches for dinner. My husband had the Salmon dinner and while very good he liked mine better. We shared a cup of Clam Chowder to start that was oh so delicious. In hindsight we should of had a bowl of the Clam Chowder, the Pork/Brie/Apple sandwich so we could have left room for some Bourbon Bread Pudding. We sat outside because the weather was good. Inside was definitely Irish Pub ambiance. Deducted one star for the music (didn't fit), cold yams for the salmon dinner and the delay in setting the bill so we could depart back to Downtown Vancouver as we have an early flight out back home to Kansas City. This being said, we were happy that Ziptrek Ecotours suggested the place after our zip line experience.

Food was decent but the waitress here on August 15th was ABSOLUTELY terrible. We asked if we had to seat ourselves and she smirked - then after 10 minutes a dirty table was available but needed cleaning, and another 5 minutes passed before she rolled her eyes at our request for a wipedown. She proceeded to wipe as half-assed as possible - food was still left on the table. Asking her for the rotating taps as well, she rolled her eyes and pointed to the board. No service or water top ups after throwing down the food we ordered - and before we finished, she had given us the machine (and tried to snatch it out of my hand to give to the next table). HORRIBLE experience. Will not return, DO NOT recommend. Go to any other pub for better service and food.

We had dinner and ordered the Guinness Steak Pot Pie. The gravy was very good and the presentation worked well. The Guinness was perfectly served. After dinner we watched the live band and had a GREAT time. Really good music. Just like a traditional Irish pub! Definitely recommend and stay for the live music.

Such a great place, can't say enough about the service!!! Band is awesome!!! Bar tenders are so fast and friendly

Wow. Not to many recent reviews on this place so I feel like they need one more :) stopped in here after we got off the mountain for some drinks and grub. I had a local cider and then some hot chocolate with grand marnier when I realized their hot drink menu was extensive and toward the back of the drink menu, and she had some mulled wine. All were excellent and very reasonably priced. Our waitress was super speedy, and on the ball. We chose to sit outside bc we were hot af in all our mountain gear, and even though we had to wait for an hour for the boys, it was pleasant outside bc they have great heaters. I wouldn't be out there in my normal clothes in 38F, though. Food came out quite speedily as well, surprisingly, given the number of people there. They must be doing a great job only seating as many people as they can serve. We tried the popcorn chicken, yum, the pretzel (fabulous with the mustard, the cheese dip was gross (we are from Texas, it seemed like it had a lot of cornstarch in it idk, maybe it just wasn't queso-ey lol). The steak pie, (good, lots of veggies, steak itself was a little dry, and both the pastry and filling really needs salt, so ask for some -but on a bright note don't be afraid to get it if you have to have low salt! :) ) French fries LOOK amazing, but they aren't as good as the ones at Roundhouse on the mountain. And a BLT, which was good. (It was my child's so that all the info I have lol, but it did come on a baguette/roll thing which I think is not how I would like it) Everywhere here they bring you a credit card machine to complete your transaction, so you don't just hand off your cc, FYI.
