50 Best Bars near Ferndale

“We tried The Eagle's Nest for the first time a few weeks ago and I fell in love. It has something for the whole family. Their down stairs features a family restaurant in the front, where there is a small nook with a Nintendo Switch and candy machines set up for the kids. The back end is a sports bar with plenty of seating. Up stairs you'll find another bar with a jukebox, 4 pool tables and a claw machine. The whole place was clean and inviting. The food was great and the service was attentive. We are really excited to have a place like this right here on Main Street!“

“Birthday! Brought us yummy truffles. Dad is 93 and can't walk really well. We let him off at valet and helped him in. They were so sweet to him and security brought him out to the car afterwards in a chariot(wheelchair). He and mom raved about the service. Steaks and potatoes were amazingly luscious but a little too salty for our taste.“

“Portage Bay Bar & Lounge is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a stunning interior that sets the perfect mood for a relaxing night out. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and taken care of.

The drinks? Absolutely top-notch! Whether you’re in the mood for a classic cocktail or something more adventurous, the bartenders here know their craft. The selection is impressive, and every drink is expertly mixed to perfection.

The ambiance is fantastic, especially with the beautiful lighting and cozy seating. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, whether you’re looking for a casual night out or celebrating something special.

If you’re ever in the area, Portage Bay Bar & Lounge is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Jamie was surprised to see 5 of us roll in at 8:30 on a Monday but she was so accommodating and did such a good job showing us new drinks that we ended up liking better than what was on the menu. Absolutely top notch service. So happy we stopped by.“

“Amazing atmosphere for all occasions! We loved working with Tomas and his staff to plan an event here. The staff are wonderful to work with, not to mention DownTime Taps has an amazing selection of appetizers and drinks! Very highly recommend!“

“The staff are kind, attentive and do an amazing job: Yes, the food is great!“

“fantastic bar! My friends and I always have a blast! great food, wonderful bartenders. love the atmosphere. they have so many cool bands! The owner Dave has been nothing but great!“

“The best pollo soup I’ve had in a long time.. friendly & prompt service and tidy environment. Can’t wait to come back to this place from Canada! Thank you Nopal!“

“I have been here many times, through a few evolutions of three menu, and it hits every single time. Sometimes I just want to be full after a meal, that can be found anywhere - but when I want to feel good, satisfied, and truly fulfilled with a dining experience, Admiralty is where I go. The drinks are on point, and never disappoint. The service is top notch; the likes of which is harder and harder to find nowadays. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The only critique I could ever come up with would be that I want more items on the menu, only because I want to try every flavor they come up with. Keep doing what you’re doing Admiralty, and I’ll keep coming back!“

“JUXT is such a great spot in downtown. Always hosting fun events, conveniently located, phenomenal service, and their food/drinks are amazing. They've got a great list of craft cocktails and a delicious food menu, too. I especially love getting to enjoy a cocktail flight (either with a friend or solo) while hanging out before a show downtown. Menu Faves: House Fries, Poutine, Loaded Nachos, Falafel, JUXT Mac Cocktail Faves: Love Letter, Time Forgot, Eiffel 75, Bees Markel“

“We happened to stop by on a night when there was a film event going on, so our party of two was put on a waitlist behind fifteen (15!) parties. Not to worry, though, our host assured us it would go quickly. And it did!
The bar organization was impressive, the drinks were heavenly, the staff was kind, and the food was good.
Great service from the host with great tattoos and the bartender with cool snake(?) spine earrings (:
Additionally, they asked about allergies at the top, and made sure to note them on our ticket so no cross-contamination could occur. They had vegetarian and vegan options, and all the food was DELICIOUS. The pork and scallion wantons were total show-stoppers. The fried tofu was prepared perfectly. The crab fried rice could’ve used a bit more crunch, but the flavor was lovely.
Couldn’t have asked for anything more on a spontaneous date night out!“

“Good price for a big, filling pizza! Chewy crust, tasty toppings. Order the large and 3-4 people will get a couple slices each. One of the better deals in town, for sure. Was pretty to look at but wolfed it down before we remembered to take a pic!“

“Our Pug Rescue- Evergreen Pug Rescue recently held an event here and it was a 10/10 experience. Loved the selection of beer and cider to choose from. The staff was extremely friendly and Shannon who called out the bingo numbers was hilarious. Loved that our pug Gloria got to run around and meet all the other dogs and people.“

“Love everything about the vibe here and highly recommend! Dakota is a master mixologist who can match a cocktail to a mood like a genius. Cozy cool kind and welcoming ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜“

“……………….DO IT!! ……………………..“

“John was an awesome bartender and host for my birthday. My friends and I had an amazing time and enjoyed ourselves. Definitely suggest the D20 shots, best part of the experience outside DDR and the selection of pinball machines and console systems.“

“This place does pizza so differently from other spots in town and it's AWESOME! Love that you can either get a whole pie or individual slices and love how fun the different menu items are. I never would have thought to put HUMMUS of all things on a pizza, but their hummus + goat cheese pizza is easily one of my top 10 things to eat here in town. Also, they have a baller cocktail menu and the crew there is always so welcoming and fun to visit with. 10/10!“

“Carne Asada Tacos!!! Best I've ever had, like ever, ever!!!😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“This is seriously a great space for a company outing, date night, or afternoon/evening activity with friends! They have 14 different pinball machines (all maintained by the Bellingham Pinball Collective) with various movie and video game themes, and are such a blast to play! Plus, they've got great food and drinks to enjoy either standalone, or while you're pin-balling upstairs. We had a blast here and 1,000% recommend it to everyone else in town.“

“love love love this little bar“

“Friday burger and Fries $6 , best fries in the county!“

“My favorite new bar in town. Finally downtown has an actual sports bar (more upscale) with a full bar. Nate the bartender is fantastic and knows how to concoct good drinks. Service is swift and the vibe is perfect with leather couches, free play old school games, and a good amount of tvs. Food comes directly from Brandywine next door. While the bar menu is a limited menu with sliders and fried cauliflower, you can pull from their full menu if you’d like (especially if you want salads or more veggie options). Brandywine just gladly brings it over. I am glad to see this new offering! Kudos!“

“Great spot“

“My husband and mother-in-law and I went here for their jazz brunch. The music was great and the atmosphere was very fun. It was t very busy which was nice. The staff were all really friendly and great. The staff was really nice about accommodating for my dietary restriction too.“

“Fun people (especially Glynn!) and great food!“

“An escape from the day to day BS. My server was a beautiful ginger who really knew the menu. Her recommendation was absolutely perfect for my mood and palate. 10/10. Made my weekend feel like an escape. 🙌🏻“

“Cheap drinks, not over crowded and a unique decor. I love the black light painted constellations.“

“This has got to be one of the best experiences I have ever had in a restaurant. The good was absolutely amazing! I love the premise of the whole restaurant and the 420 theme 😍 The staff was phenomenal, just an all around wonderful place. Will definitely be coming back😊😊“

“why have you not come in the Beaver yet? unbelievable.“

“Extremes was just steps from the Holiday Inn Express! Food was excellent and service from Ryan “Scooter” was amazing!!“

“I had my brows done here recently and I’m honestly blown away. As a redhead, I’ve always been cautious about trusting someone with brow color, but she understood exactly what would look natural with my hair and skin tone. The results are beautiful — soft, natural, and perfectly shaped. On top of that, the whole experience was professional, comfortable, and thoughtful from start to finish. You can tell she truly cares about her work and her clients. I’m so grateful I found her!“

“Just incredible, honestly. The food, the service, the overall vibe, it's the whole package. Excellent food (We had the pesto gouda chicken and bacon balsamic Brussel sprouts). Very pleasant, attentive staff. Such a great experience, we will be back!“

“A no frills dive bar with 1 air hockey table, 1 skeeball machine, and 2 pool tables in the back. Tons of seating. Free popcorn from a machine you scoop yourself! Small staff working there was very nice. There's a change machine for you to get coins to play games.“

“This was such a a fun venue! Big enough for a crowd, small enough to feel intimate. Great vibes.

You get a hand stamp when you enter and can leave and reenter if you choose too.

They have AC! If you run warm, try to be under a vent.

10/10 would go back in a heartbeat.“

“Love Caps!! Love chatting with Lily and Jordan. Lil made me an awesome raspberry lemonade shot when I was wanting something different. Jordan knows my usual, a PBF. Doug (the bouncer on the weekends) is amazing and always makes sure everyone stays safe. He even helped me find my airpods when they fell out of my pocket and onto the sidewalk lol. There is another review about someone's birthday being ruined, but pay it no mind. A group of 8 girls came in and demanded a birthday shot with no other drink orders, and became upset when they were told that giving out free alcohol is illegal lol.“

“D'Annas is AMAZING! Incredible Italian with a menu full of classic dishes that are sure to please everyone. Everything tastes like that perfect "made-from-scratch" taste that you love in Italian cooking and their pasta is DELISH! Plus, their desserts are SO GOOD and make for a great ending to your meal. A definite stop to make next time you're downtown. Menu Faves: Bruschetta, Puttanesca, Spaghetti Marinara, Chicken Parmesan, Gnocchi, Tiramisu, Cappuccino Cream Chocolate Mousse“

“Enjoyed dining on Christmas Eve! Best Singapore Street Noodles ever! Highly recommend!“

“Very awesome place! friendly and fun bartenders. food is great!“

“Grew up going here. Always quick and always good food. I remember as a child they even had someone dressed as Santa visiting tables and he gave me a Barbie. Pretty neat memory as a kid!“

“Always a favorite! I don't make it here as often as I would like to, but I try to go when I am in town. Wonderful people, great atmosphere.“

“I got the Mongolian chicken and crème brûlée, the crème brûlée was delicious not too sweet, perfect milky creamy flavor and texture. The chicken was cooked to perfection, topped with a a delicious white sauce ,alongside it was some perfectly roasted zucchini, and asparagus, sautéed mushroom. The fries were good and ranch was really good too. Highly recommend.“

“My favorite place for fishnics with the kids and weekend eats! I can order out and take it to the beach or meet with friends and family for great food and island atmosphere. The short ferry ride there and back is a plus!“

“We did a wedding welcome party at Penny Farthing with about 30 people and we had a great time! The mezzanine space was perfect for us with the area around the bar for mingling and the back room for when folks wanted to sit and chat over food. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the bartenders were friendly and made good drinks. Working with Suzanne on scheduling and catering was easy; she offered good suggestions and was timely in her responses. Plus, they let us run over our allotted time a little bit, which we appreciated. Thank you!“

“Always excellent food and service.“

“Great local place to drink 🥤“

“My favorite place to eat in all of Seattle.“

“My hubby & I love coming to Chihuahua’s for lunch and dinner often! Great food, services & you really feel apart of the family.“

“We came for lunch and were really impressed with the service, price and most importantly the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful and delicious. My husband was not a fan of Indian food until dining here. We are working on a project near by and this will be our go to lunch stop.“

“This is the best restaurant I have been to here in Wilmington I am a chef of over 50 years and this food is Michelin Star quality“
