Bellingham Bars and Nightlife

The Archer is a beautiful rendition of a high-quality English city-centre pub, located in the historic Fairhaven district. The pleasant environment and the selection of beers, both on tap and bottled, make this a must-visit for anyone looking for a fine place to savor good local and imported beers.

A no smoking, all ages establishment, The Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro has been in business since 1995, catering to locals and out-of-towners alike. While our beer has won award after award, it is balanced by a selection of food that will bring you back all on its own. All presented to you in a unique atmosphere of energy, artistry, community and hospitality.

Bringing a big city club flavor to the sleepy streets of Bellingham, Downtown Johnny's has all the ingredients of a hoppin' nightclub found in a big city — dancing, liquor and fine-looking people. Packed to the gills on both Friday and Saturday nights, a shortage of the aforementioned fine-looking people is not a problem at this place. To help you build courage to meet these new friends, Downtown Johnny's offers both beer on tap and in bottles as well as a full bar.

At The Fairhaven we offer a full menu of food, beer, wine, great martinis and the best bands to make your nights out on the town something to remember. We can also host your business or private parties; check out our Party Info page for details.

Fino is a famous style of dry sherry from southern Spain. It is also our new, waterfront wine bar in Bellingham. We offer a rotating selection of aperitif, dessert, and table wines, each of which is sold by the taste, the glass, or the bottle. We provide a grazing menu of "fine food for wine lovers", featuring appetizers, tapas, hors d'ouvres, antipasti, and other "small plates". Seating is available from noon to nine each day.

A warm and welcoming atmosphere and a full bar with a good selection of beers on tap.

Regular live performances from local and regional bands on a state-of-the-art sound system. Enjoy billiards, pinball and comfortable seating in a beautiful room. We serve cocktails, beer (macro & micro), and wine.

Poppe's Bistro features a full lunch and dinner menu with large and small plates available. The Martini menu changes often and a Martini of the day is also created. Live entertainment on weekends showcases local Jazz artists. Stop by Monday through Friday 2:00 p.m. until midnight, Saturday and Sundays we open at 4 p.m.

All ages welcome before 9:00 PM. Billiards, arcade, air hockey and delicious hot wings... and MORE!

This LGBT-friendly nightclub has a full schedule of fun events and plenty of drink specials.

The downstairs Nightclub features a Stainless bar and stand up tables, the largest back bar in Bellingham, an 1170 sq ft dance floor as well as lighting and sound that makes some of the Clubs in Seattle and Vancouver drool. Also located downstairs is a lounge area where you can relax when you are not dancing. The upstairs bar features 6 of the best-maintained Pool Tables in Bellingham, an Internet Jukebox, four 36" TV's, Darts as well as the popular Megatouch video game. The decor gives you the warm feeling of a traditional Pub with a touch of class. Hardwood floors and an all-wood bar accompany the round candle lit tables that are surrounded by cushioned and backed bar stools.

The Up & Up draws a largely college-age crowd and caters to its clientele accordingly: cheap beer and loud music. On Thursday nights the beer and food is even cheaper, with the added bonus of a vast sea of hunks and honeys parading around the bar.

We bring in only the finest local, regional and national live musical acts. Blues, R&B, funk, soul, worldbeat, folk rock, classic rock and roll, Celtic rock, and Latin Salsa music is some of what you can find here. We have an elevated stage, a custom designed professional sound system, a spacious wooden dance floor, a mezzanine with a view of the music, a pool table, and spotless restrooms.
