47 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“

“We happened to stop by on a night when there was a film event going on, so our party of two was put on a waitlist behind fifteen (15!) parties. Not to worry, though, our host assured us it would go quickly. And it did!
The bar organization was impressive, the drinks were heavenly, the staff was kind, and the food was good.
Great service from the host with great tattoos and the bartender with cool snake(?) spine earrings (:
Additionally, they asked about allergies at the top, and made sure to note them on our ticket so no cross-contamination could occur. They had vegetarian and vegan options, and all the food was DELICIOUS. The pork and scallion wantons were total show-stoppers. The fried tofu was prepared perfectly. The crab fried rice could’ve used a bit more crunch, but the flavor was lovely.
Couldn’t have asked for anything more on a spontaneous date night out!“

“Good price for a big, filling pizza! Chewy crust, tasty toppings. Order the large and 3-4 people will get a couple slices each. One of the better deals in town, for sure. Was pretty to look at but wolfed it down before we remembered to take a pic!“

“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.“

“……………….DO IT!! ……………………..“

“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 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜“

“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!!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“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 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!“

“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 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.“

“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 🤷🏻‍♀️“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Love Caps!! Love chatting with Lily and Jordan. Lil made me an awesome raspberry lemonade shot when I was wanting something different. Jordan knows my usual, a PBF. Doug (the bouncer on the weekends) is amazing and always makes sure everyone stays safe. He even helped me find my airpods when they fell out of my pocket and onto the sidewalk lol. There is another review about someone's birthday being ruined, but pay it no mind. A group of 8 girls came in and demanded a birthday shot with no other drink orders, and became upset when they were told that giving out free alcohol is illegal lol.“

“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.“
