“An absolutely fabulous gem for dining in Bellingham. As a retired chef, it is a pleasure to experience folks who know how to cook. I can't tell you how rare it is these days. Tip of the toque to all involved including server, bartender and cooks. You get what you pay for.“

“Excellent pulled pork entrée and special of the night biscuits & gravy. Waiter kept apologizing for the wait, but honestly wasn't bad at all. Food was worth the wait anyway! Totally recommend.“

“Sweet intimate stylish venue/bar with surprisingly good sandwiches and friendly staff.“

“As an openly pretentious food snob, this place is top notch. The crispy chicken bao bun is perfect (seriously, just stop right there; don’t tweak it, don’t change a thing). Please don’t make it smaller! ;) My girlfriend says she didn’t know cucumbers could be so delicious and the tea egg is smoky and buttery and everything you could hope for. Thank you so much!

Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian and vegan options available“

“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“

“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!“

“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 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜“

“Wonderful place with wonderful people. Great environment & best restaurant in Bellingham“

“A friend of mine informed me that this particular lounge recently acquired Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, one of my favorite rhythm games, so I decided to visit the establishment. The bar undoubtedly possesses a gamer theme, as they offer a diverse selection of video games, encompassing both classic and contemporary titles. Additionally, they have a few other arcade gaming machines!

From the Nintendo Entertainment System to the latest Nintendo Switch, they even have the original Xbox all the way up to the Xbox Series X! They also carry the PlayStation 1 up to the PlayStation 5! Whether you desire to play classic games or explore newer releases, this gaming lounge caters to your preferences.

The service provided is pleasant, and the employees exhibit a relaxed demeanor.

Although I have primarily visited the lounge to play Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, it is also a delightful place to simply relax and enjoy oneself.

I wholeheartedly award this establishment a full 5-star rating and would undoubtedly continue to frequent it.“

“Amazing breakfast burrito and coffee“

“There’s a gorgeous 21+ section and the chicken is incredible!“

“I'm usually not a fan of hotel bars, but checked out A21 during First Friday (art walk), and the vibe and service were outstanding. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable.

I never thought I'd be saying it, but I'll be back at this gem of a hotel bar“

“……………….DO IT!! ……………………..“

“Love this place - the tamales were delicious - had the chicken chile verde, chorizo and cheese, and salsa roja pork along with chips and guac. Be sure to get the tamales smothered in red sauce. Their guac is fire as were the picked veggies. Pair it all with a beer from El Suenito🍺Will def be back!“

“Fantastic pizza and atmosphere! Chicago Tavern style pizza has made its way to Bellingham and I couldn’t be happier!“

“Great ambiance and really yummy food! A must when in Bellingham!“

“Fantastic food, we loved it! Thank you for having delicious vegan options. 😃“

“My wife and I had a fabulous experience last Friday. We've been to many restaurants in our 30+ years of world travel and Carnal is with the best of them. Our server Renee and all the staff were pitch perfect.“

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

“The food and service have always been good, and my latest visit was no exception. Food was really good amd came out hot. I had the chuckwagon. The burger was cooked well and the au jus was flavorful. It can be really challenging to find a place that serves a good au jus and here they definitely deliver. I would absolutely come back“

“What can I say? We went in for lunch expecting a typical pizza joint....were we ever mistaken. We ordered several appetizers to try as much as we could for lunch. Everything was elevated just that right amount. Calling this Sliced is doing the restaurant an injustice. We will definitely be back. Salads, brushetta, kids pasta, risotto, and meatball sliders were simply delicious. Looking forward to date night with my wife.“

“It's nice service and good options! Went again the other night, and I tried the fish and chips off the happy hour menu. Happy hour is every day there with a different food option for happy hour.

Vegetarian options: On the chicken Alfredo you can switch it for veggies and many other options.

Dietary restrictions: I saw gluten-free noodle option, I don't know about bread options, didn't pay attention enough.

Parking: Many parking stops to choose from, it's a big parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and my kid had the mini burger and fries.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a flat surface in and out.“

“My wife and I made a Valentines Day trip to Bellingham. We had our dinner at Keenan's the food was excellent and the service was excellent also. They made it a memorable experience.“
