They’re a team of cocktail aficionados who keep their vermouth in the fridge, squeeze all their own fresh fruit juices, make their own in-house syrups and frown upon the use of pop-gun mixers. With a regular DJ, local craft beers, house-smoked BBQ meats, and some of the best cocktails in town (unknown to many), it’s the perfect spot to loosen your boots at the end of an epic day on the mountain.”Ī post shared by The Raven Room | Whistler, BC true, at The Raven Room they take cocktails seriously.

Whether it’s hiking up Flute and Oboe over by Symphony, or heading into Blackcomb’s backcountry at the top of the T-Bar, you can escape to find powder and ski fresh lines all day. “On a powder day, I love to explore a little further afield.
