Great atmosphere and pretty good pub fare. The women servers were great! There is a very rude male bartender that I’ve experienced twice now. Will not be back if he’s working.

This place is pretty great depending on who’s bar tending…There’s a bar tender that doesn’t give a very decent experience. Kind of rude, doesn’t know how to make any mixed drinks named off or shots or even puts in the effort to come up with suggestions with you that he may know, over pours (bit of a liability to the establishment that’s unfortunate..)

Great place to meet friends for drinks and their food is great.
This is more of a bar than a restaurant. I would go here to drink, not eat. They have a great selection and the atmosphere is... well, like a saloon in an old western film. Nice place to meet people casually.Usually, it's great service; I have been going there occasionally for almost 14 years. On my last visit, however, the lady tending bar was so loud it was like she was screaming just with her regular talking. So loud I had to flee the scene!

The Grand Ale House is a Bellingham staple. Solid selection of beers and drinks. Open room atmosphere with a good couple of pool tables and game selections in the back. Great place to meet up with friends and gather. Food is solid pub/bar selections and a few good other items. Feels like a home town bar. Pootie has done a fantastic job of keeping this iconic watering hole a place to come back to.

The food is excellent. I had the reuben sandwich and salad. The salad was very hearty with lots of mixed vegetables. Price was very reasonable. The sandwich was awesome with real rye bread and lots of fresh horseradish. There were several great tempting menu options. The atmosphere was a kind of dive bar pub style. Staff was overly attentive but with good intentions. I would rate the food a five star but atmosphere and service caused me to lower rating to a three star.

Good mix of essentials here. A touchtunes jukebox, a variety of arcade games from skiball to deerhunter, pinball and even a fancy "jetpong" game. Also a nifty vending machine with cool mystery items and stuff from local artists. Good drink prices and alot of space. An old staple of the Bellingham bar scene.
I love going to the grand Ave!!!
