“Update Summer 2023:We've been by several times in the late afternoon and found that they've not been open as scheduled. Might want to call first if you plan to go before 6pm.Can't believe I have waited so long to try Bellingham's best (only) tiki bar. It always seemed just a bit intimidating, with its blacked-out windows, skull lights and titular nod to The Shining.Inside, it's a different story entirely. Very kitch tiki theme, but muted lighting makes it more tasteful than garish.There are some decent food options including three sandwich options that can be veganized and a couple of vegan apps The guacamole is very creamy with a good mouth feel, though it could be more flavorful (tapatio available on request).But you're not there for the food; you're there for the drinks. And the drinks do not disappoint. So many lovely imported rums.. Lovely specials, but the tiki drinks are over the top incredible. The Coconaut is a personal favorite (though no longer do they light it as pictured). Non-alcoholic options are really good too and they of non-alcoholic beers.The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the vibe is inviting and laid back. Even when crowded, Red Rum is a mellow place to be.“
“I’ve eaten here a few times now and every time the food is so fresh and so good! The staff is super friendly and welcoming. First couple times I times I went was with my kiddo and he loved the food. 2nd time was with coworkers and they also really enjoyed it. Will go back again soon. If you are looking for a great, fresh, Family own and local place to go this is the place.“
