Thank you Rumors for telling me and my friend we were too drunk and had to go home, we appreciate you caring for your customers safety!! I have been to Rumors quite a few times, and as a queer person in Bellingham, your bar makes me feel safe, as the world around me is hateful to people like myself. And honestly, kicking me and my friend out because we had a little bit too much to drink was a great call. Also thanks to the DJ for playing a song I requested! We both got home safely, no one was driving, and we made it home safe! Love your drag shows, and I have been missing out on Karaoke night! This is my most frequently arrived bar! Sorry me and my friend were just a tad bit too tipsy this time, we’ll be better next time! ?Edit: I hope you all enjoy the cookies I’m sooooo sorry!!!

What an excellent experience, a light broke so the bartender attended to it immediately, I appreciate their willingness to consider the safety of their customers. I didn't care at all that she took the time to do so instead of serving my drink, and I expressed as much I believe. She gave me and a gentleman beside me free jello shots! Such amazing customer service, thank you.

Extreme prejudice. If you don't fit the image the bouncer is looking for they will reject you for no reason. You would think this establishment is accepting of everyone.... I also just want to add I heard multiple people answer his question wrong and still let them in . When it was my turn he asked a Total different question and didn't like my answer (Which was correct!) so he denied entry. I don't understand how an establishment can be this biased based on your appearance.

Had a blast at this place! So inclusive and such an amazing vibe. Andrew the owner was so lovely. Would highly recommend. Our group were 3 Canadian ladies looking for a good time, we found it here. If you’re in Bellingham check this place out.5 stars

Hi! I don't get to visit Rumors as often as I'd like to (I live SE of Olympia & only get to visit when I'm visiting with family - my visits *always* include a trip to Rumors!),but when I'm there, it's like I'm with *family*. I'm a disabled woman who travels with 2 small service dogs (who are trained to alert me if my blood sugar is too low *and* to help stop an anxiety attack). From the minute I walk in, Ron the bouncer has made me feel welcomed & at ease. He helps me with any accommodations I might need & checks on me throughout the evening to make sure I'm comfortable. The bartenders are fun & friendly, and make *wonderful* drinks, often asking me to step out of my comfort zone & try something new - with *no* regrets! I'll be in Bellingham in a couple weeks, and I'm looking forward to *another* fun-filled visit to Rumors during my visit. Thank you so much to the owners who have given us a place to feel safe *and* respected.

Friendly staff and tasty drinks! Every time I've gone there I've been treated with nothing but respect. The bouncer is super friendly and fun to talk to.

For any and all members of our community looking for a fun and safe environment to visit and spend their Friday nights(or any other night of the week) at; this would be the place. As the only LGBTQIA+ night club in Bellingham they have such a wonderful culture. Focusing on equality and creating a safe and fun environment for their community, rumors has been excelling at that for many years. During the summer I send every Friday and Sunday evening at the bar supporting the local drag community that rumors owners allow to have a space to share their art and stories. The culture and family dynamic they have created for not just their regular customers but for tourist customers. Thank you rumors for being a part of our community as an establishment that is a home away from home for many in our society!
Huge community feel. Queer as hell. Overall a good time with some yummy drinks! Love coming on slow days and playing pool(:

When I’m in Bellingham this is my favorite place to go with friends. Great music, great vibes, good drinks, the drag shows are always a blast and I have always felt safe here. Problematic people have always been promptly removed (much to their dismay as seen in some reviews) but it keeps it safe for other patrons.Support local drag! I used to go every Friday night and they never disappoint ?? ?️?

Rude staff(see below response, I have been here several times). Bad drinks, unsafe for most (huge roofie problem)

I love this place. Not one complaint. The staff is fantastic. Every time I went I saw that the staff cared about their customers. They went over and beyond when someone needed help. Good example, I saw a woman being harassed by a drunk man and immediately told staff and they handled that person quickly. No should be subject to that. I’ve been living in bham all my life and there’s no there bar or dance place I would go to. 10/10. Great music, karaoke, Drag shows 2 nights including Friday where they have showings of drag race before the drag show. It’s awesome experience I love Rumors
