Garfinkel's has been around a long time, not just some come and go nightclub that hatches instant success come high ski season, Located in the heart of Whistler Village, the nightclub is a boon for the hot ski instructor and hospitality workers that fuel the wild nights of this otherwise quiet ski town. The club offers a more upscale, modern vibe than many of the town's other nightspot with rare VIP packages that offer bottle service and even dinner packages for those looking to show off their bling or simply avoid the masses. More local and real than Tommy Africa's, the club became our favorite town on our most recent visit due to the ratio of locals to tourist and overall timeliness of the décor and DJs.
Tips
A regular on the ski and snowboarder magazine circuit, the club is scene to invariable weekly parties as well as a Thursday night ritual of indie rock hits, funky classics and dance tracks.
