48 Best Bars in Bellingham

“I have been here many times, through a few evolutions of three menu, and it hits every single time. Sometimes I just want to be full after a meal, that can be found anywhere - but when I want to feel good, satisfied, and truly fulfilled with a dining experience, Admiralty is where I go. The drinks are on point, and never disappoint. The service is top notch; the likes of which is harder and harder to find nowadays. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The only critique I could ever come up with would be that I want more items on the menu, only because I want to try every flavor they come up with. Keep doing what you’re doing Admiralty, and I’ll keep coming back!“

“JUXT is such a great spot in downtown. Always hosting fun events, conveniently located, phenomenal service, and their food/drinks are amazing. They've got a great list of craft cocktails and a delicious food menu, too. I especially love getting to enjoy a cocktail flight (either with a friend or solo) while hanging out before a show downtown. Menu Faves: House Fries, Poutine, Loaded Nachos, Falafel, JUXT Mac Cocktail Faves: Love Letter, Time Forgot, Eiffel 75, Bees Markel“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! The food is delicious and there’s a bunch of vegetarian/vegan options like other reviews said, but the service elevates this place to another level. My sister wanted to have her birthday dinner here, and not only was the waitstaff attentive and flexible so she could eat most of the dishes even with her allergies (all of which were so good we ordered multiple), but they made a point of learning her name and wishing her happy birthday. And not only that, but at the end of it all they gave her a handmade birthday card with her name and little notes from all of the staff! We had never been here before! All of this, on top of service so attentive that they noticed when someone’s fork got cleared away accidentally and my water glass never being empty, made this place so memorable and wonderful. I will DEFINITELY be coming back here, and recommending it to everyone who asks.“

“Excellent beer and a great space! Quiet when the first open, which is a great time to hang out with a beer and a book or sketch book. Indoor and outdoor seating, with some outdoor out of the sun. Food pickup window is just outside the indoor seating area on the patio.“

“Our Pug Rescue- Evergreen Pug Rescue recently held an event here and it was a 10/10 experience. Loved the selection of beer and cider to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and Shannon who called out the bingo numbers was hilarious. Loved that our pug Gloria got to run around and meet all the other dogs and people.“

“Uisce’s feels like a comfortable locals’ bar with friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. The drinks are great and the pizza is really good! That’s the only food option but it’s solid and fits the vibe. There are a couple dart boards and good seating options. We really like Uisce’s!“

“……………….DO IT!! ……………………..“

“John was an awesome bartender and host for my birthday. My friends and I had an amazing time and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely suggest the D20 shots, best part of the experience outside DDR and the selection of pinball machines and console systems.“

“Carne Asada Tacos!!! Best I've ever had, like ever, ever!!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“This place does pizza so differently from other spots in town and it's AWESOME! Love that you can either get a whole pie or individual slices and love how fun the different menu items are. I never would have thought to put HUMMUS of all things on a pizza, but their hummus + goat cheese pizza is easily one of my top 10 things to eat here in town. Also, they have a baller cocktail menu and the crew there is always so welcoming and fun to visit with. 10/10!“

“I have yet to go to a bar that is anything like the Blue Abode. Chill vibes with well placed TV's combined with down to earth guests have made it a good experience each time. The bartender, Taryn, has always been both knowledgeable and kind everytime I've come in. I have heard great things about the other bartender as well.

Drinks and food of course are solid too.

Overall 10/10 would recommend.“

“This is seriously a great space for a company outing, date night, or afternoon/evening activity with friends! They have 14 different pinball machines (all maintained by the Bellingham Pinball Collective) with various movie and video game themes, and are such a blast to play! Plus, they've got great food and drinks to enjoy either standalone, or while you're pin-balling upstairs. We had a blast here and 1,000% recommend it to everyone else in town.“

“Love everything about the vibe here and highly recommend! Dakota is a master mixologist who can match a cocktail to a mood like a genius. Cozy cool kind and welcoming ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜“

“love love love this little bar“

“Great spot“

“My favorite new bar in town. Finally downtown has an actual sports bar (more upscale) with a full bar. Nate the bartender is fantastic and knows how to concoct good drinks. Service is swift and the vibe is perfect with leather couches, free play old school games, and a good amount of tvs. Food comes directly from Brandywine next door. While the bar menu is a limited menu with sliders and fried cauliflower, you can pull from their full menu if you’d like (especially if you want salads or more veggie options). Brandywine just gladly brings it over. I am glad to see this new offering! Kudos!“

“My husband and mother-in-law and I went here for their jazz brunch. The music was great and the atmosphere was very fun. It was t very busy which was nice. The staff were all really friendly and great. The staff was really nice about accommodating for my dietary restriction too.“

“Fun people (especially Glynn!) and great food!“

“An escape from the day to day BS. My server was a beautiful ginger who really knew the menu. Her recommendation was absolutely perfect for my mood and palate. 10/10. Made my weekend feel like an escape. 🙌🏻“

“Cheap drinks, not over crowded and a unique decor. I love the black light painted constellations.“

“Awesome bartender! Really creepy man was hitting on me and my friends while we were trying to order and the bartender told him to leave us alone and made sure he stepped back!! Appreciate it! Plus the drink was awesome. Always love the parmesean garlic fries which we got as well 😎“

“Once again, a big bucket of chicken and jojos from Alger Bar & Grille saved us from our Sunday "what's for dinner" dilemma! Delicious as always. We appreciate you EVERY SINGLE TIME. *Edited to add... the pic is what's left. stoked for lunch tomorrow!*“

“This has got to be one of the best experiences I have ever had in a restaurant. The good was absolutely amazing! I love the premise of the whole restaurant and the 420 theme 😍 The staff was phenomenal, just an all around wonderful place. Will definitely be coming back😊😊“

“Very good drink’s & food was delicious and the service was great. I o my wish we could move table together to be able to sit closer together 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Extremes was just steps from the Holiday Inn Express! Food was excellent and service from Ryan “Scooter” was amazing!!“

“why have you not come in the Beaver yet? unbelievable.“

“I had my brows done here recently and I’m honestly blown away. As a redhead, I’ve always been cautious about trusting someone with brow color, but she understood exactly what would look natural with my hair and skin tone. The results are beautiful — soft, natural, and perfectly shaped. On top of that, the whole experience was professional, comfortable, and thoughtful from start to finish. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. I’m so grateful I found her!“

“Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. Such a great experience, we will be back!“

“The bartender Tom has a mysterious quality about him. Not only will he make you the perfect cocktail but if you ask him nicely he might just let his hair down for you.. rawr! 😉
And you know the tempo is off if you see Brandon wearing a shirt with sleeves ( he never does) so it’s perfect 11/10“

“This was such a a fun venue! Big enough for a crowd, small enough to feel intimate. Great vibes.

You get a hand stamp when you enter and can leave and reenter if you choose too.

They have AC! If you run warm, try to be under a vent.

10/10 would go back in a heartbeat.“

“A no frills dive bar with 1 air hockey table, 1 skeeball machine, and 2 pool tables in the back. Tons of seating. Free popcorn from a machine you scoop yourself! Small staff working there was very nice. There's a change machine for you to get coins to play games.“

“D'Annas is AMAZING! Incredible Italian with a menu full of classic dishes that are sure to please everyone. Everything tastes like that perfect "made-from-scratch" taste that you love in Italian cooking and their pasta is DELISH! Plus, their desserts are SO GOOD and make for a great ending to your meal. A definite stop to make next time you're downtown. Menu Faves: Bruschetta, Puttanesca, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Tiramisu, Cappuccino Cream Chocolate Mousse“

“Very awesome place! friendly and fun bartenders. food is great!“

“Grew up going here. Always quick and always good food. I remember as a child they even had someone dressed as Santa visiting tables and he gave me a Barbie. Pretty neat memory as a kid!“

“Always a favorite! I don't make it here as often as I would like to, but I try to go when I am in town. Wonderful people, great atmosphere.“

“I got the Mongolian chicken and crème brûlée, the crème brûlée was delicious not too sweet, perfect milky creamy flavor and texture. The chicken was cooked to perfection, topped with a a delicious white sauce ,alongside it was some perfectly roasted zucchini, and asparagus, sautéed mushroom. The fries were good and ranch was really good too. Highly recommend.“

“We did a wedding welcome party at Penny Farthing with about 30 people and we had a great time! The mezzanine space was perfect for us with the area around the bar for mingling and the back room for when folks wanted to sit and chat over food. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the bartenders were friendly and made good drinks. Working with Suzanne on scheduling and catering was easy; she offered good suggestions and was timely in her responses. Plus, they let us run over our allotted time a little bit, which we appreciated. Thank you!“

“Great local place to drink 🥤“

“My favorite place to eat in all of Seattle.“

“My hubby & I love coming to Chihuahua’s for lunch and dinner often! Great food, services & you really feel apart of the family.“

“We came for lunch and were really impressed with the service, price and most importantly the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. My husband was not a fan of Indian food until dining here. We are working on a project near by and this will be our go to lunch stop.“

“This is the best restaurant I have been to here in Wilmington I am a chef of over 50 years and this food is Michelin Star quality“

“We stumbled upon this diner and so so glad we did. It is basic in the BEST of ways!

Our breakfast was good and flavorful and most importantly it came out pretty quickly.

They have an extensive drink list as well if you are looking for that with your food as well. Def give this place a try!“

“Delicious Food and Cocktails: Tried an Espresso Martini, Arancini Balls and the Chocolate Royale for dessert 🍨“

“Always good for a preflight cocktail“

“went there for some drinks after work and the staff there was super friendly“

“Whether dining in or taking to go, Filling Station is one of my favorite places to get a burger in town. You can definitely tell they use high quality ingredients and I love the variety of specialty burgers/sandwiches they offer. Their fries are also phenomenal; a thick curly potato that go amazing with their ranch. The shakes are great, and their cocktails are fun and are always great pairings with our entrees. They additionally offer a veggie pattie/vegetarian-friendly burger option for vegetarians which is awesome, and the service there is always phenomenal. Definitely a go to spot in my opinion! Menu Faves: - Drinks: Mint Oreo Shake, Chocolate Shake, - Jump Starts (Appetizers): Grill-Cheese strips, Hub Cap fried pickles, Station Fries - Burgers/Sandwiches: El Camino Burger, Thunderbird Burger, Jaguar Burger, Wrangler Burger, Ferrari Chicken Sandwich“

“Went for lunch in a Saturday. They were fairly busy and appeared a little short handed so there was a bit of a wait. However, our server was amazing, kind, efficient, not stressed and she did a fantastic job. The tacos were delicious. We were so impressed with our entire experience.“
