    I love this place. It's THE local late night stop. Unpretentious and welcoming to all. Perfect place to grab a quick bite and some good beer on tap. Plus they're going to be featuring my girlfriend's newest art installation.

    Great little place. The Wednesday evening entertainment has been great. I love a rooter in a glass bottle and theirs hits the spot. Kind and delightful staff.

    My favorite place in Bellingham. Love that the owner is involved and obviously cares about his operation. Get a frigate of heliotrope!

    Had the vegan chorizo dog with jalapeno mustard and raw onions. Man it was delicious.
