50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ferndale

“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!“

“If you haven’t been to Battles Kitchen yet… run, don’t walk. I swear, I’ve tried something new every single time we’ve gone, and every time I leave wondering why we didn’t find this place sooner. The owner? Absolute gem of a human. The food? Straight up from another planet. So far I’ve had the crawfish boil, seafood boil, Cajun tenders, shrimp po’ boy, lemon cake, banana pudding, peach cobbler, lemon pepper wings, and beignets and every single bite has been perfection. I would gladly go broke buying dinner and dessert here every day if I could. If you haven’t tried them yet, you are 100% missing out. They never disappoint. Ever.“

“There is something for everyone at FrinGe!“

“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.

“This is my favorite neighborhood go to… Super dog, friendly, super people friendly!! Devan is my favorite beer tender, She always makes our visits there fun and inviting! The owners are just awesome people and the atmosphere is laid-back and very comfortable. The only thing I would change would be to have food trucks rotating so it’s not always fish and chips, Other than that, I highly recommend for anyone who hasn’t been there.“

“The owners and staff of Hammerhead coffee make this place worth the visit, no matter how long the line is. They are thoughtful, engaged and seem to know everyone in town. We have made this one of our regular haunts. Also, check out their sister coffee roast brand Steed Coffee.“

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

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

“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.“

“Went here with my husband, got their goat cheese salad and him a sandwich and drink. Coffee was good, food was hearty but the real standout was the service. It was a cold day and I was out by the fire pit, when one of the proprietors offered to grab me some gloves and clothing because I looked cold. Can't speak on the bike repair side, but when I was ordering there was sounded like a animated (in a good way) and in depth conversation in that part of the store and it seems like they'll have your bike covered for whatever it needs.“

“Great staff, food and beer.“

“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.“

“This place is great! I'm very picky when it comes to my coffee and I highly recommend the honey bee latte
I was visiting here from out of town for a week and I stopped by everyday while I was here. The staff was always pleasant. The coffee was always perfect.“

“Nice, i love this place. Peaceful“

“Excellent CX Sandwich service was great“

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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“I give it a 3 out of 5. The food was wonderful. We got the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots and clam pasta dish. The place was very clean. the ONLY reason I cannot give this a place a 5 out of 5 is because the lady who was making looks like marscpone cheese at the front counter kept licking her fingers while making it ( I counted like 6 times in a 30 min wait time for food) then when they put the lid on the container they took thier finger and wiped off the excess and put it right in thier mouth and put it away. like i said the food was great ,but the whole time I got a whole show and it kinda ruined it for me especially since I drove over a hour to come to this place“

“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!“

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

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

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

“Hands down one of the most incredible local experiences and brands in the area. Amazing food, drinks, and options. Will return weekly.“

“We need a Woods Coffee here in Vancouver wa. I miss my woods coffee and people😊“

“First the condiments bar and now the hot sauce. These 2 things are what made taco time, taco time.
Today my wife got us lunch here and brought it home. My order was supposed to be 2 beef crisp burritos, instead, I got 1 chicken and 1 beef.
Not cool guys. At $17 an hr you need to do better.
And what's this BS about a tip option at check out?“
