Après-Ski in Jasper

Apres-ski in Jasper is largely in the downtown core, but it's certainly worth your while having a quick beer on the Marmot Basin day lodge patio at the Caribou Bar, before hopping on the shuttle to town. Here's a few top suggestions for a post-shred shandy:

De'd Dog Bar & Grill

More than any other bar in Jasper, the must-visit De'd Dog Bar & Grill exemplifies all that is good about Jasper apres. Expect a healthy choice of local beers both on tap and by the bottle, as well as a comfort food menu featuring all the favourites you crave. This is a bar where apres isn't just a happy-hour event - it goes on until you're done. And it has a pool table. And a dog.

Jasper Brewing Co.

The Jasper Brewing Co. is Jasper's brew pub serving its own locally produced craft beers as well as a raft of favourite food items. Pils, IPA and Honey beer are all top brews, but you need to try the locals choice - the 6060 Stout. Or go one better and opt for a 'Black 'n' Blue - a Babe Blueberry Vanilla Ale topped by a 6060 Stout. This is Albeerta at its best.

Earls Kitchen + Bar

Earls is an institution and has an authentic home-town sports bar charm, despite the fact it's a franchise brand with outlets across Canada and the States. Relax at the upstairs bar with a choice of beers on tap, great local wines or a hand-made cocktail. Earls serves great appetizers plus a full menu for afterwards. 

Emerald Lounge

Take it up a notch at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge's lobby bar - the Emerald Lounge. This is a picturesque spot with views across to Marmot Basin in the distance. Relax in a comfy chair by the fire, stand at the bar or chill on the patio - whatever the mood, the Emerald has the drink to match. Curated cocktails, fine wines, great beers and beyond.
