WILD BLUE AND THE KEEFER BAR BRING CANADA'S BEST BAR TO WHISTLER FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY
- Award-Winning Cocktail Programs Partner for Patio Pop-Up Following Wild Blue's Long Table Dinner on August 16 -
WHISTLER, BC (July 30, 2026) - Following the final event in its acclaimed 2026 Long Table Dinner Series, Wild Blue Restaurant + Cocktail Bar, recently named one of North America's 50 Best Restaurants, will continue the celebration with an exclusive patio after-party alongside The Keefer Bar, recently crowned Best Bar in Canada and ranked No. 7 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026.
Taking place from 8:00 p.m. to midnight on Sunday, August 16, the one-night-only patio party offers guests a rare opportunity to experience two of British Columbia's most celebrated cocktail programs in one place. Whether attending the Long Table Dinner or simply looking to experience The Keefer Bar in Whistler, guests are invited to enjoy an evening of expertly crafted cocktails, music and a vibrant late-summer atmosphere.
"Our Long Table Dinner has always been about bringing together exceptional culinary and beverage talent, and The Keefer Bar was the perfect partner for this year's finale," says Neil Henderson, Partner and Restaurant Director at Wild Blue. "The response to the collaboration has been incredible, so extending the evening with a dedicated patio party felt like a natural next step. It's a rare opportunity for guests to experience two of British Columbia's most celebrated cocktail programs in one night."
The Keefer Bar has built an international reputation for its apothecary-inspired cocktail program, drawing inspiration from the herbs, spices and botanicals found in Vancouver's historic Chinatown. Earlier this year, the bar was named Best Bar in Canada and ranked No. 7 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2026, cementing its place among the region’s premier cocktail destinations.
The Wild Blue patio will be transformed exclusively for the event, with high-top tables, a dedicated cocktail bar and music from DJ Ace creating a lively after-hours atmosphere. Guests will enjoy a curated menu of signature cocktails from both Wild Blue and The Keefer Bar, prepared by bartenders from the two award-winning teams. The collaboration pairs The Keefer Bar's internationally acclaimed apothecary-inspired cocktail program with Wild Blue's nationally recognized beverage program, which earned Cocktail of the Year at the 2023 Air Canada enRoute Best New Restaurants awards.
Tickets are $39 per person, plus tax and gratuity, and include two signature cocktails from the collaborative menu. Additional cocktails will be available for purchase throughout the evening. Capacity is limited, and advance reservations are recommended.
