details + FAQs
Merlin’s is located at the base of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler’s Upper Village — right next to the gondola. You can’t miss the log cabin vibes and the lively crowd spilling out after a day on the slopes.
From November 21st, 2025 we are back in action and open for an EPIC Winter. We open in the Cafe from 7am for coffee and mountain-fueling goods. Brunch is available from 9am and our lunch menu kicks off in the bar at 12pm.
Merlin’s operates primarily on a walk-in basis. For larger groups or private event space hire, please contact us directly to discuss availability.
Tables for our Legendary Hairfarmers Après are available to everyone on a walk in basis. No payment or reservation required
Families are welcome at Merlin's during the day! As we are a licensed venue, we do ask that children are under the supervision of a responsible adult at all times. Merlin's is a place designed to be fun for everyone. However, our Après are world renowned for good reason and it is recommended that our younger Merlin's friends find seating with their trusted adults upstairs in the Mezzanine during shows
You can purchase tickets for the Gondola with the Guests Services team, located in the Daylodge next door
