Great atmosphere and fun drinks. The happy hour prices are amazing, we had craft cocktails that were strong on tasty.

Pretty good. Love the 5-7 daily happy hour ($5 drinks). Sometimes I feel terrible after I drink both the gamma ray and Cassiopeia but that's definitely my fault for ordering the two most sugary drinks (they taste so good) but they have lots of other less sugary options and the space theme of the bar is so cool. I love the blue room with the stars and black lights. I've never had a bad experience with the service and the bartenders are always nice.

I loved this place but recently came back and the number of people they allow in at a time has to be some kind of code violation. This whole experience was rough. So many people coming and going. I understand it’s a business but it shouldn’t ever take 25 minutes to get a drink.

When you spend as much money as you do in this place (because its expensive) you shouldnt be disrespected. There are many quality places in Bellingham and this is not one of them. I highly advise you go elsewhere, and that's what I'm telling all my friends and family to do.

Went to hear some music in their new Odd Fellows Temple Room. Great venue and incredible music. Fantastic. No cover. Remember to tip the musicians.

I went here on Monday night for my birthday and since I just moved to the area from out of state, I still have my Texas ID. When my friends and I walked in we showed the bartender our IDs and she took them back with her and just googled on her phone what a Texas ID looks like. She told us she wouldn't serve us because it "didn't look right". The issue isn't that we weren't served, but that I feel like a bartender should know what a real legitimate ID is and how to accurately check one (this is the only place in Washington that has said my ID was fake). It was especially confusing that after denying us, the same bartender recommended other bars that we didn't have to worry about being carded at. I'm a 26 year old adult, but if I had been under age it's concerning that we received such a recommendation.
I really like this bar, but I had a frustrating experience where I was turned away because the bouncer wouldn't accept my valid Oregon ID. I understand that they need to be careful, but as someone who also works a job that involves checking IDs, I feel like the bouncer should be knowledgeable enough to know that my drivers license is real. Next time I will bring my passport

An absolute gem for high-quality and creative cocktails! The atmosphere and decor transport you to another world, making it a unique and enjoyable experience. This cozy bar is perfect for leisurely sipping on well-crafted drinks and enjoying good company. An extra perk: celebrate your birthday here and receive a free shot while donning a playful space helmet--a memorable touch that adds to the fun ambiance.

It's really hard to find cocktails under $10 anymore. The Orion is here serving up delicious and affordable cocktails to Bellingham in style!!! I mean, look how cute my cocktail was??! When I went, most cocktails were $8. I was unfortunate enough to barely miss happy hour (5-7pm) when I went. During happy hour cocktails are $5 each. Other than the amazing deals for cocktails and snacks, the Orion is a very quaint and quirky bar. I love the space theme, vintage video games, small tables, and the separate more private room for larger parties. I saw some negative reviews about service. The night I went I was served by a very kind gentleman. He was slammed with a huge crowd and he handled it very well, and I didn't have to wait that long for my drink. I'll definitely be here again!

I came to town for a few days and went here multiple times and multiple bartenders were very nice to me. They're awesome, great drink deals as well.
