Food & Nightlife

Whitefish Mountain Resort Restaurants Overnight visitors to Whitefish Mountain Resort are faced with five options when it comes to filling the hole in one’s stomach at the end of the day. Hellroaring Saloon and Eatery, Bierstube, and fine dining at the Kandahar Café are the only three true on-mountain night-time dining options. The other two options are eating in at your self-contained accommodation or eating out in downtown Whitefish and surrounds (access by using the Snow Bus or your own car).

Dinner at the Hellroaring is like entering a ski chalet from the 70s all dressed in faux Austrian regalia. The food, service and price are excellent. You won’t have any complaints eating dinner at the Hellroaring.

Same can’t be said for Bierstube. As a restaurant, the Bierstube makes a great boozer. Basic burgers and fried nibbles are alright and the pizzas look great but taste cheap and yuk. The pizzas taste like they just came out of the supermarket freezer. Maybe you won’t notice if you’re getting stuck into après beers?!

The Kandahar, located next to Hibernation House in the lower village, is the home of fine dining at Whitefish Mountain Resort. Be prepared to pay for the privilege, but the food, service and surroundings are exquisite. Bookings are recommended at this award winning restaurant.

Whitefish Restaurants In Whitefish itself and on the road between the resort and downtown, you can take your pick from all types and genres of dining.

At the lower end of the of dollar market try the good pub grub at Haskill Station, or the endless smoky BBQ meats at the Piggyback Barbeque. Middle of the range in downtown Whitefish is the Craggy Range Bar and Grill and the good Latitude 48 & Red Room. High end includes The Boat Club and McGarry’s, both north of downtown.

For a good cup of coffee, try the ‘Montana Coffee Traders’ downtown.

Whitefish Bars & Nightlife Ignoring the rant above about the Bierstube’s pizzas, it is one of the classic après ski bars in the world. I can hear you saying, ‘that’s a huge call’, but it’s true. Hell, Canadians voted it the best ski bar a few years running and you know how parochial they can be.

If the Bierstube is a bit too loud and crowded for you, try another good bar, the Hellroaring Saloon and Eatery (but the real action is at Bierstube!). Another quieter bar is Ed and Mully’s Lounge (got a few pool tables) in the upper village, and for a quiet drink in a refined environment try the Snug Bar at the Kandahar next to Hibernation house. The Base Lodge has a bar also, but why mix it with the great unwashed down at the base when you can mix it with a pack of reprobates in the upper village?!

Whitefish township has a few bar potentials, but only if you’re staying in town. The Black Star (craft brewery), a plethora of saloons (including a few with pole dancers of all things!) and restaurant bars are dotted throughout the downtown area.
