This is a great spot in downtown Bellingham to enjoy a craft cocktail in an upscale yet not pretentious environment. I have to say their cocktails are absolutely out of this world. And perhaps this should be the sole focus. The food fell short. The gnocchi Mac and cheese was soooo heavy with a very Valveeta/artificial cheese taste - and overly salty. The braised beef sliders were mostly bread with a little meat inside. For the price of the food I wouldn’t order again. Stick to the drinks and you will not be disappointed. Oh and the staff IS wonderful.

Some of the best drinks in town!! My husband and I absolutely love this place! It does not disappoint. We’ve had almost every single drink on their menu and they are just fabulous!! My hubby’s fave is the espresso martini, he believes it’s the best in town, and we’ve had our share and I have to agree. I love their old fashioned and whiskey sour. I also love their Chicago style pot pizza and their salad. I just love this place and recommend it 100%

This was a very disappointing experience on a Friday night. We were a party of 4 that got there at 8pm. The restaurant closes at 9 and we were told the kitchen and bar were still taking orders. There were many open tables but it took 15 minutes for them to seat us. Then, after 10 minutes at our table without ordering or being visited, the server came to tell us that the bar was doing last call. We ordered some drinks and an appetizer but when we told the server that we wanted dinner as well, they ran from the table without saying anything. Another server came over to finish our order. A few minutes later, before we received any food, the server asked if we wanted to close out the check. Once it arrived, the food was really bad. The sliders we ordered didn't have all of the ingredients listed on the menu and were horribly dry. Overall, it was not a great experience from a place that we have enjoyed in the past.

I wouldn't go back with a larger party.

The good part is, we went on a Wednesday, so it wasn't very crowded, the food was good, the location was good as well.

While food and cocktails were good, the service was not. The bartender was rude to our whole party. It's unfortunate, since we booked a reservation ahead so we could be sure to get a good spot. Some of the friends I went with, I saw later that week and they even mentioned the service wasn't very good.

Our party of three vegetarians were very happy with our selections from the (happy hour and) dinner menu. Not a huge selection, but we felt like we had options. We ordered the Whiskey Queso Dip from the HH menu. It was a small serving, but satisfying. For dinner we got the Eggplant Parm Sandwich (split between two seniors), and the Gnocchi Mac & Cheese. The sandwich was fairly skimpy on the fillings, but the warm marinara dip was very good and made it interesting. The mac & cheese was excellent, with a rich and interesting cheese flavor combination. We all ordered a cocktail but I forgot to take note of which ones, except for the Moscow Mule. All were excellent. Service was excellent also, with just the right amount of attention to our table. I seem to recall that although there was moderate noise, with a bit of effort we could carry on a conversation. I think this spot takes 2nd place for enjoyable HH/dinner spots in Bham. We will be back!

Great place, friendly bartender. We happened to pop in on a slow Thurs night right before 8pm & they were closing early. They kept the food menu available, which we appreciated. The only problem is that their well/house vodka tastes like tequila. The bartender was so understanding about the situation & said it’s been acknowledged by other customers, too. She immediately poured me a Grey Goose substitute without asking me what other vodka I’d prefer, so I assumed the bill would reflect the “house” pour. My drink was $4 more (I asked) and she didn’t offer to take it down to the house pour price ($10). I didn’t want to be annoying, but it felt…off.
