Le P’tit Caribou has held the “Best Mont-Tremblant Bar” title for years! Considered by many critics and magazines to be one of THE best bars internationally, it was voted best après-ski bar in North America 10 years in a row by Ski Canada Magazine and ranked fourth best ski bar in the world by Forbes.
Overall, Le P'tit Caribou is described as a lively apres ski hotspot with a big party vibe that draws crowds and can get very crowded and loud, which many find perfect for dancing and socializing but not ideal for a quiet dinner; the atmosphere is often praised as energetic and scenic, with a terrace and lake views adding to the charm, and the music and DJ sets are consistently highlighted as strong points. Food and drinks are generally solid, with frequent praise for poutine, burgers, nachos, wings and other bar fare, plus well made cocktails and a house vibe, though a few reviews call prices high and note occasional inconsistencies or slow service during peak times. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and accommodating, helping guests navigate crowds and reservations, though some guests encounter delays or long waits when busy. Overall this spot is a go-to for apres ski and nightlife in the area, delivering a memorable, high energy experience and reliable hospitality, while those seeking a quiet meal or a calmer scene may want to plan around peak hours.
Came here after the slopes with my bachelorette group & it was amazing! Server/bartender took such great care of my party of 8! Didn't have a reservation but was quickly accommodated. Food & drinks were good. VERY CROWDED so if you're not okay with getting bumped a few times maybe not the best place but this was my favorite'party spot' of the trip! Would definitely come back!
We went for a night out with friends, overall very bad experience. My girlfriend wanted a glass of water & they charge $6 complete ripoff. You would expect they'd at least provide free water to keep their customers safe, especially with $20 cover & $12+ bottles of beer. Everything was extremely overpriced even by resort standards (& I do understand & expect some resort markup). $20 cover was cash only & their ATM has a $7 withdraw fee. Bar staff was rude too. Overall very disappointed
Belle endroit mais le prix de la bière est vraiment trop chère versus les autre resto bar sur le site de tremblant je sais que l'air est taxé à tremblant mais il a une limite à arnaquer les gens

What a little gem. When I emailed for reservations, the guy was quick to respond & accommodative during the busiest week of the year. The bartender upstairs was helpful to get us seated. The bartender downstairs was great, served us very well. Food was mostly good, it's bar food. Nachos were great! Prices were reasonable & music was great.
Super accueil à l'entrée principale, excellente barmaid très sympathique, bons drinks, mais petits & overpriced, musique en up & down, mais plus de bons moments que d'autre chose. Par contre le bouncer de la porte du fond… à remplacer, très mauvaise expérience avec lui! Un simplet qui exécute ce qu'on lui dit de faire sans se servir de sa tête, vraiment pas fort!
We went two nights in a row (Thursday & Friday). There was a clear difference in how crowded & popular this place was. Thursday night had no cover charge, & most of the attendees stayed near the main dance floor area. There was a minimal wait to grab drinks. Plenty of space to dance near the back & they allowed people to get on the bar to dance. Friday night was a $10 cover charge, the man standing out front didn't wear anything indicating he worked there. The place got crowded spilling to the back tables & onto the deck area. Heat lamps on the deck, bathrooms on the bottom floor. The smell of sweaty butt cheeks, body odor, & alcohol quickly consumed the dance floor. I witnessed a guy get carried out by security because he ran & dove over the bar. The vibes for Friday were sloppy drunk energy but if that's what you're looking for, you found the right place. Waiting for a drink took much longer than the night before. Both nights they had a similar track list (top 40s/house remixes/2000s hits) despite having two different djs. Overall a fun experience & is definitely the night life of tremlant. Danced a lot & had a good time!
This could be a great apres ski bar, great space, lots of bars, but the service was slow (at best) & the music is WAY TOO LOUD! Impossible to have any kind of a conversation.
We came just for apres ski (not for food) so this review only applies to the club at night. We had a lot of fun, it gets very crowded & hard to get out. They have mandatory coat check in the club which makes sense, if youre staying close by you could probably leave your coat in a hotel Cover was $10 by default, I am glad we went on the early side so we could stand where we wanted. Bar is average priced. The vibe was mostly teens & young adults which was great for college students. The DJ was pretty bad imo, doing some diabolical transitions, but if you like clubbing its still a lot of fun
