Après-Ski in Revelstoke
After a monster ski day at Revy, you'll be ready for a beer! The ski out at Revelstoke ends at the bottom of the Revelation Gondola, click out of your skis or board, walk across the plaza, and boom - beer time. Easy. There's two great mountain village apres venues, and then a huge amount of choice downtown - an easy 10 to 15 minute free shuttle ride away. With most Ski Independence clients staying on mountain at the Sutton Place Hotel, the apres is usually focussed first in the mountain village venues and then later towards downtown for dinner and nightlife.
Mackenzie Common Tavern & Food Truck (mountain resort)
The Mackenzie is Revelstoke's apres bar in the mountain village and faces the Rockford Bar and Grill - with outdoor seating in between. Serving great street food from its funky food truck, plus a variety of beers from breweries along the Powder Highway, together with a fabulous BC wine list and some excellent hand-crafted cocktails, the Mackenzie Common Tavern is the place to be after skiing.
Rockford Bar & Grill (mountain resort)
The Rockford is a more up-market choice for apres in the mountain village, but you can still sit at the bar, drink and be merry then segway straight into dinner without taking your ski boots off...
The Village Idiot (downtown)
Perhaps Revelstoke's best apres spot. Located in the heart of downtown Revy, the Idiot offers an apres-themed dining area, bar and patio - think retro ski chairs, cool stickers on the walls, funky live music, a huge selection of local brews and world-class pizza to boot. You'd be an idiot not to go...
Monashee Spirits (downtown)
Located right in the very heart of downtown Revy, Monashee Spirits is a local distillery that doubles as an award-winning cocktail bar. It has a great ambience and a wonderful cocktail list - all hand-made by their skilled mixologists. Add to that an exceptional whisky collection of over 700 bottles, and you have the perfect starting (or ending) point for the evening.
Rumpus Beer Co. (downtown)
The name 'Rumpus' reflects the outlook of the company, bringing beer and fun together. Small, quirky and refreshingly on point - this is a small local brewery serving easy-drinking beers. When you know that it was voted as 'The Best Apres Adventure Spot', you just know it needs a visit.
