50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bellingham

“Wonderful artisan coffees. Tasty sandwich. Nice Colombian music.“

“Great food, environment, and staff!“

“Great, family friendly brewery with fun community events and local food trucks outside available for patrons to enjoy. Their beer and seltzer are delicious (with loads of fun options on tap) and their staff are incredible. Stemma consistently makes their mark as one of the best breweries in BHAM and is one of our all time favorites, for sure!“

“It's insane how good this place is and their "Second Breakfast" menu is to DIE FOR. Their food stands out amongst other restaurants' brunch/breakfast menu with their items like the savory Shakshuka and thick-cut french toast and I've never been somewhere else in town that does giant cut-fries that are flavored; such a fun experience! Menu Faves: Street Frites (Salt & Vinegar Flavor), Pretzel & Beer Cheese, French Toast w/ Berries & Cream, Farmers Cheese Pancakes, Shakshuka & Postmodern Breakfast Burrito (Bonus point for their delicious Bloody Mary Cocktail)“

“Stones Throw is the absolute best! We had a private event in the back patio and upper patio the night before our wedding and it was perfect. The bartenders and Johanna were so helpful. All of our guests had great things to say about how cool the space was and how much fun they had. Thank you, Stones Throw!!!!“

“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.

🐾 Perk for those of you with furbabies - the outside area is dog friendly

Only Cons:

↪️ Seating can fill up during peak hours

↪️ Rotating taps mean you might miss a particular favorite

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Bellingham flavors in a laid-back, welcoming setting.“

“I just tried the pan fried chicken dumplings at Hello Huntersville festival and they were EXCELLENT…possibly the best I’ve had.“

“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 enjoyed coming here before having a dog (fun music, solid beer list, and dogs just running around being silly and having the time of their lives). Now that we have a pup of our own to bring our love for this place has tremendously increased 💓 We come at least once a week, usually more.“

“This brewery is AWESOME! They host loads of community events, make delicious food/beers, and are an all-around awesome local business that's joined this town. They're easily one of the best restaurants meets breweries in town, and have made a name for themselves as a fan fave in BHAM. Menu Faves: House Margarita, Paloma, Bean Dip & Chips, Frijoles Con Queso Tacos, Carnitas Tacos, Chorizo Tacos, ALL of the Tamales, and any beer off their taplist! (Also, love that they give the option of having a tajin rim for your margarita!)“

“2 plays in 2 nights by Bellingham Theatre Works. Both about Language. And how it can bring people together or separate them. How some people understand the feelings behind words and others do not. The players are very good and it is amazing how the scenery in an in the round theater can be so important. In last night's play the very young actors were excellent.“

“Great slice of pizza, absolutely one of the best in Bellingham. Undercarriage is ok not much char on this one but no flop, great crunch that does falloff a bit towards the center. Sauce is seasoned well, fontina cheese really adds something and the pecorino is just enough where you can taste it but it's not overpowering. Really good pizza being done right and it’s great when you can call it in ahead for takeout.“

“We have tried all the fish places in Whatcom County and The Galley is the best. The Cod, Halibut, Salmon and Shrimp are all very good. The soups are excellent, too.“

“Awesome beer. They excell at all, but my favorite is the barrel aged Early bird Porter“

“I’m so thrilled that this boutique winery is right in the heart of downtown Bellingham. Every single wine is exceptionally sumptuous. The atmosphere is down to earth and the service is warm, attentive and welcoming. The price point is a bargain particularly for this high quality of wine. I became a member immediately which provides myself and 3 friends a free monthly tasting plus several others discounts and benefits. If you love wine and want to chill in a unpretentious atmosphere this is the place.“

“Absolutely amazing little find in Bellingham...delicious coffee and superfood lattes served up by the nicest barista in the most beautiful, serene setting. My favorite place to come hang out or work! 💕“

“It’s tucked away in an industrial area, but don’t let that turn you off. Some of the best spots are hidden—and this is definitely one of them. The Pineapple Habanero cider is freaking hot. If you’re into heat, it’s awesome. If not, there’s plenty of other solid options to try.

Chill, cozy vibe with a ton of outdoor seating. There was a pizza truck parked out front, snacks inside, and even cider slushies (yes, really). Super welcoming space—dogs, kids, families, everyone’s good here. It’s also clearly LGBTQ+ friendly, which is always great to see. Just an all-around inclusive and relaxed atmosphere.

They’ve got local art for sale, some cool merch, and they actively support other small businesses and community groups. The cider tender was friendly and knew their stuff without being pushy.

Definitely one of those spots you’re glad you found.“

“Delicious vegan food and drink, plus kind and friendly workers.“

“just didn't like the two beers I tried. Aftertaste was rude. skunky“

“Excellent CX Sandwich service was great“

“Great selection of beers. Fun place to hang out“

“One of my favorite places to go in downtown Bellingham. A great space inside and out with frequent music and events. I attended the Arts & Ales Holiday Market and enjoyed a pint as well as a cup of mulled wine while I shopped the market. Also fueled up with one of their famous bowls, the Banh Mi bowl.“

“Good beer Good enviroment I have a great time here“

“I had such an amazing time Thursday night playing mini golf then playing bingo! I will definitely be coming back! Also was the best pizza I've ever had! Ate almost the entire thing to myself, also the salad was very good!!!!“

“Excellent eats, coffee, atmosphere and employees... Can't recommend enough...“

“This is my favorite bar in Bellingham! The servers like Mikayla and the owner Jessie always make me feel so comfortable and welcome while figuring out what to drink. They have a wonderful selection of beers and ciders as well as non-alcoholic drink options. We've been coming here weekly for almost a year now and love it! Don't miss their oyster pop-ups with Drayton Harbor - they're soooooo tasty!! And definitely check out their other special events like their Silent Book Club - such a fun event for introverts!“

“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!“

“Small neighborhood spot with good beers and great atmosphere. Had a fun time playing bingo Friday evening.“

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

“Celebrated our 6 year anniversary with some Fiamma Pizza and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, but the reason for this review is because the staff deserves all the praise! Lily was so so great! Friendly, attentive, and kind. I appreciate her helping us celebrate!“

“Don’t eat here unless you want your phone stolen by a waitress!“

“Compared to some fish and chip places we have been to, this one wasn’t at all bad. 1 pce halibut and fries….price not bad, piece was small and the fries are skinny. The place was nice and clean. Not as good as back in the UK, but very few places are 😉“

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“Great staff, food and beer.“

“Great job. Made to order. Loved it! Will go back when in the area. ❤️👌“

“Best Italian food in the Valley !! Alberto’s smile and service make the drive from Camano worth it“

“Staff was very prompt and friendly. Fast service. Great food.“

“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.“

“Black Sheep has easily become an iconic "Bellingham" restaurant with how much of a staple they are to so many. Love that it's 21+ and that they not only have a mega-awesome (and delish) cocktail menu, but additionally has food that's so good people constantly talk about it. Additionally fun to enjoy their breakfast menu when you swing by earlier in the day, and constantly just enjoy the atmosphere and service by staff. Faves Off the Menu: - Tacos: Carne Asada, Carnitas, Fried Chicken, Baja Fish, Pork Belly, Mushroom + Kale - Snacks: Chips + Guac, Queso Fundido, Salsa Trio, Queso Nachos - Breakfast: Potato & Black Bean Taco, Breakfast Burrito - Drinks: House Grapefruit/Raspberry-Lime/Blueberry-Lemon Soda (non-alcoholic), Dude-A-Rite (any flavor), House Paloma If you haven't yet checked out Black Sheep, consider it next on your list!“

“My favorite coffee shop in Bellingham! Love the fresh pastries, and the baristas are always nice and welcoming.“

“I stopped by this restaurant and ordered the chicken fried rice, and I was pleasantly surprised. The portion size was generous, easily enough for two meals or a very filling lunch. The rice had a nice wok-fried flavor, and the mix of vegetables peas, carrots, and onions added good texture and color. The egg was fluffy and evenly mixed in, and the chunks of grilled chicken had a nice char that gave it a smoky touch.

It tasted fresh and was clearly made to order.

Solid spot if you’re looking for classic takeout-style fried rice with a good balance of ingredients and a satisfying portion.“

“Hands down the best pizza, brew and service in Bellingham. Lived here all our lives and only wish we'd found this place sooner. GET HERE NOW.“

“This place is lowkey a silent sleeper because I feel like more people should know about how awesome Greene's is! Breakfast, lunch, dinner; they're all an option! Great pizza and delicious breakfast/brunch options! Love that they're in the part of town that's nestled right between south/central Bellingham (aka the Sunnyland Neighborhood), and everything on their menu is a hit. Menu Faves: Biscuts & Gravy, Breakfast Burrito, Sunnyland Scramble, Chicken & Waffles, Huevos Rancheros“

“The double cheeseburger at ACCOMPLICE is a great take on one of my all time favorite burger styles. It succeeds at being both original and necessary. Quality meat with a slightly coarse grind, excellent maillard crust on both patties, rich tang from the bone marrow mayo, possibly Martin's potato bun was both griddle toasted and steamed, and finally some much needed acid with a little heat to cut through it all from the house made pickles. I'll skip the shrettuce next time, but I always believe in trying the unadulterated classic on my first visit. I'm very happy this absolutely delicious and unique burger is available in Bellingham. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu soon... starting with the Chicken-Bone-Honey Fried Chicken Sandwich. It would be a crime not to.“

“Really amazing take on Hawaiian style food and that’s coming from someone who liveshalf time in Maui. This place deserves MUCH more praise and hype than it gets. Try the Loco Moco… it’s so flavorful!!! And if you’ve been to Hawaii, for real for real, you know.“

“My niece brought me there, I will be going back. Love the blueberries smoothie I had,“

“Mount Bakery never fails to disappoint with their delish pastries (especially the croissants) and baller breakfast items. Definitely a BHAM staple and love that they have locations in both the Downtown and Fairhaven parts of town. Definitely recommend this local spot!“
