“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.

“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.

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to MB for handing out free pizzas today! It’s awesome they gave back to the community during hard times. 🫶 The staff were so kind, the vibe was super welcoming, and it was just really cool to see a local spot give back to the community like that. You can tell they genuinely care! If anyone’s looking for a place with great energy, good people, and yummy food — this is the one!“

“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.“

“Comfortable, clean, hip spot with a big variety of yummy beverages, a nice selection of snacks, lots of room for big parties, awesome live entertainment events, an excellent space to meet friends and family, a friendly & warm staff all with a view of beautiful Fairhaven village What else could you ask for!? Go check it out 🍻 cheers!“

“We drive down to Bellingham from Canada now and again . Enjoy dropping in here . Drinks are reasonable and the games are fun . DDR could use a better track list I’m not sure if they have locked it or it could be modded with a better track list“

“This is my favorite neighborhood go to… Super dog, friendly, super people friendly!! Devan is my favorite beer tender, She always makes our visits there fun and inviting! The owners are just awesome people and the atmosphere is laid-back and very comfortable. The only thing I would change would be to have food trucks rotating so it’s not always fish and chips, Other than that, I highly recommend for anyone who hasn’t been there.“

“Great family restaurant. Finding a great place to eat, great food and where staff remember you is important. El Rinconcito is that place“

“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!“
