With all of the trails, hills, rocks, and water in Squamish that we know and love, it’s hard to choose between all of the incredible adventure possibilities. Although we can’t help you choose between a climb in the sun or a run along the ocean, we can definitely help narrow down the best places to après following your activity of choice!

After all, does a big day of adventure even count if you don’t après?

Here are a few of our favourite places to aprés in Squamish:

Cork & Craft Taphouse

The only true Craft Taphouse located in the Sea-to-Sky corridor with a large selection of craft beer & spirits, B.C. wines and a diverse menu with a focus on going from scratch to craft. Be sure to stop in for their daily Crafty Hour (there are two of them)!

Cordelia’s Locket

In an epic location right on the Mamquam Blind Channel in downtown Squamish, you can settle in for delicious charcuterie, fine wines, and cool cocktails all while enjoying stunning views and the serenity that dining on the water brings. Check out their Happy Hour from 3-5pm! 

Crabapple Café

A local’s favourite, this Brackendale eatery is known for its tasty brunch and lunch menu featuring all the hearty dishes that compliment a hard day’s activities.

Peckinpah BBQ

The new kid in town, Peckinpah is serving up some mighty tasty BBQ including brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and more. Grab a spot on their downtown Squamish patio and savour their slow-cooked BBQ flavours. Bourbon lovers will appreciate their extensive bourbon list, or grab a cold one to cool down after you’ve worked up a sweat! 

Norman Rudy’s

Norman Rudy’s huge sunny patio and mountain views can’t be beat. Combining comfort kitchen with farm-fresh, their menu is innovative and fun. There’s plenty of parking for bikes and toys, a great selection of draft beers, and the opportunity to level up your après experience with their ‘mimosa tower’!

Saha Eatery

A cozy restaurant that serves up some of the most beautifully flavoured dishes in Squamish. Saha Eatery has nailed contemporary middle eastern cuisine, and you’ll love their homemade food, ethically sourced meats, and lively spices. Cozy up on their patio while you sip on a well-earned beverage!

Sea to Sky Gondola

You might likely find yourself at the top of the Sea to Sky Gondola after your day’s adventures, so why not stick around for aprés? At the Summit Lodge, you’ll find a solid wine and beer list as well as those crave-able dishes such as burgers, hot dogs and pizza (don’t worry, there are healthy alternatives as well!). Throw in a hot or cold beverage of choice, live music and epic views, and you’ve got yourself an aprés location like no other!

Fergie’s Cafe

Whether you are heading there for their fantastic locally-sourced food or their beautiful, lush riverside setting, you can’t go wrong! Enjoy brunch seven days a week or try their new Après & Evening menu from 3pm to 9pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (or both)!

 

Aprés is a favourite pastime here in BC. The time of day doesn’t matter, only the company you keep and a day’s adventures behind you to discuss. Enjoy it – you’ve earned it, after all!
