19 Best Beer Bars in Bellingham

“Great slice of pizza, absolutely one of the best in Bellingham. Undercarriage is ok not much char on this one but no flop, great crunch that does falloff a bit towards the center. Sauce is seasoned well, fontina cheese really adds something and the pecorino is just enough where you can taste it but it's not overpowering. Really good pizza being done right and it’s great when you can call it in ahead for takeout.“

“Tucked into the lively Columbia District, Goods Local Brews shines as a neighborhood taproom dedicated to celebrating local craft beverages, and it nails that mission. All‑local pours...their rotating lineup highlights Whatcom‑area breweries and cideries, with wine available, which is perfect for groups with mixed preferences.

Taproom meets farmers market: I love the warm, relaxed setting, complete with plants, seasonal produce & fruit + fresh flowers right on-site .

Food truck scene: There is a taco truck and a dumpling truck onsite.  Check their website for the most recent food truck schedule.

Goods Local Brews isn’t just a place to drink—it’s a community hub.The staff's knowledge and warmth, combined with rotating local selections and delicious casual bites, make it a top-tier experience in Bellingham.

🐾 Perk for those of you with furbabies - the outside area is dog friendly

Only Cons:

“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“

“Stones Throw is the absolute best! We had a private event in the back patio and upper patio the night before our wedding and it was perfect. The bartenders and Johanna were so helpful.

“Friendly bar staff, excellent tap menu. Does exactly what it advertises and does it well.Tried beer and cider. Liked the variety of beer. Would have preferred more cider options, but was happy with the cider I had.Seating would be limited on an indoor day. Parking was fine behind and to the North of the building.Food options in Barkley Village aren't great, so would be an appreciated area for expansion.“

“This is my favorite bar in Bellingham! The servers like Mikayla and the owner Jessie always make me feel so comfortable and welcome while figuring out what to drink. They have a wonderful selection of beers and ciders as well as non-alcoholic drink options. We've been coming here weekly for almost a year now and love it! Don't miss their oyster pop-ups with Drayton Harbor - they're soooooo tasty!! And definitely check out their other special events like their Silent Book Club - such a fun event for introverts!“

“Stopped for a coffee and danish with my 2-year-old daughter. We loved the pastries and the latte was perfect. Kim, the owner, was at the register and was so kind as to give my daughter a little cup of milk on the house when I forgot to order it with our breakfast. It was obvious that a lot of the customers who came in were regulars, and everyone was having a lovely time. That atmosphere was peaceful and pleasant, surrounded by beautiful plants and local art and lots and lots of bicycles. Could not say enough good things. We will definitely be back!“
