    Drinks and mariocart

    Games galore, themed cocktails, and a vibe any gamer or appreciator of gaming culture can enjoy! The 1-up lounge seems to have a rotating selection of game inspired drinks!

    This is a bar and a game lounge merged into one. When I went there, there were only two other people playing games so it was very lonely. For a place like this to thrive, there has to be more people there to create a gaming atmosphere!

    Thanksgiving takeout

    My partner and I ordered a Thanksgiving meal from here and it was excellent! Very kinda staff, great COVID precautions, and even better food. Can't wait to keep supporting this business from a distance until it's safe to go in person. Thank you!!

    Our family made our first visit here tonight with our kids because we wanted to try it out and let our kids play Nintendo. I liked the atmosphere and the setup was great. However. Our food? Was awful. By awful I wish I could give it -5 stars. Our beef skewers tasted like old expired meat and wasn't what I considered edible.. I wasn't able to eat it. My fries were cold and not cooked all the way through. My kids got pizza sticks but they didn't want to eat them. I think the concept of this place is cool and it's fun to hang out for a beer. But their food is Horrible and needs a ton of improvement. The bartender on staff was not friendly nor welcoming. Did not smile once, and acted like he hated his job. When I told the bartender/server about my poor experience with the food..he told me that it's "just the way it is and there's nothing he can do about it" and I was fully charged. I am angry I wasted my money on such a disgusting dinner of microwaved food and such poor attitude and service. We definitely won't return there.

    First of all, my server, Sierra, was perfectly awesome. She answered questions, was timely and…read moreservice-oriented, and she gave great food and drink recommendations. Wonderful food and drinks. I started with oyster shooters (Willapa Bay) along with a Lion's Tail cocktail. Sierra said the bourbon and lime complement each other. I wouldn't have thought so and thought it a bit of an odd choice. But she was right and I was wrong: it was fabulous. One of the most delicious drinks I've ever had, for my tastes. She gave me several recommendations for dinner. I picked the Jalapeño Chicken. It was luscious and flavorful, but the best part of it was my choice of Balsamic Brussels sprouts as my side--oh my! These were so delicious I ordered two more batches to have at home. Lovely espresso martini to end it all.

    Stopped by Bellingham to grab a quick lunch after hiking to Fragrance Lake. As a cat lover this…read morerestaurant really had me at the name already lol. I was happy to see steamed clams on the menu. I grew up eating fresh steamed seafood for dinner, so battered fried seafood that is more common here hasn't really grown on me yet. To me fried seafood is a fancy version of chicken nuggets. I loved the clams, so light but bland. The sauce is full of umami flavor, drizzled with some fresh lemon juice, it was like a summery beachy afternoon in a bowl. I could easily dip a loaf of toast with it if I had one. The clams were fresh and meaty, nothing to complain about with this dish. My partner had the grilled cheese, and he said it was mid. He's vegetarian, and I don't like cheese, so I didn't bother to try any of his meal to do my own fact check. The staff were friendly too. Overall, this is a nice place to grab lunch when visiting Bellingham.

The patio can get a bit chilly, but it's worth it for the view, and they do have heaters available. I started with a salad, followed by the Keenan's burger with a garbanzo bean patty, and the soup du jour. All three were delicious. The complimentary bread served with garlic herb spread was a wonderful start--aromatic and very satisfying. The salad had a great balance of fresh vegetables and toppings. On a cold day, the soup was especially comforting. The burger itself was well prepared and flavorful. The staff was polite and attentive, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed due to a large party seated next to us. Another nice perk: there's a boardwalk and beach right next door, making it a great place for a stroll before or after your meal.

A Bit Longer Answer... Keenan's is somehow still a bit of a hidden gem in Bellingham, WA. How that is, at least for visitors, is beyond me. It is located in the absolute best hotel in Bellingham, the Chrysalis in Fairhaven, a delightful part of Bellingham, WA. You will want to stay there, just saying, and their spa? Oh my gosh...but I digress... A few weeks ago, while staying overnight, I took my brother-in-law to dinner at Keenan's. He dislikes...a lot. Forgive me, but one of his "super powers" seems to be in finding fault in any even somewhat nice restaurant. Something is always wrong with the food, the prices, and/or the service...yeah...but wait! Monty ate every bite and (wait for it...) did not complain once! Alert the media! Oh, happy day!! Okay, more details... I have had the pleasure of eating at Keenan's both in person at the restaurant and via their room service many times. BOTH ARE AMAZING! Their room service breakfasts are incredible! How they make their omelets as light and yet filling, EVEN WHEN DELIVERED to my lovely hotel room, is beyond me! Order their fruit, too, whatever it is they offer, order it. It will always be a beautifully flavorful addition to your meal. I can promise you your food will show up, even with room service, well-seasoned and ready to devour! Their dinners? WOW! I have had so many of their entrees, and each one is incredible. Their scallops are always perfect. Again, seasoned so that it complements the scallops without overpowering them. Their rib-eye is incredibly tender while still being cooked medium-rare, yay! And, their duck...oh my gosh! Hurray! I have to add, check their specials. I have never been steered wrong. Of course, a meal is almost as much affected by the service as by the food, right? They will treat you like a VIP, no matter who you are or what you order. How cool is that? I love that they have that ability to be attentive without hovering, nice! How funny is this? Their venue is stunning. There is no questioning that point. It is simply stunning! The cool part of that is that they cook like they don't have a view. Does that make sense? They don't just rely on that "wow" factor and assume you will just go there for the view. The food and service are even better than the view, and that says A LOT! Oh, shhhh...just saying, between you and me...Mia, our latest server, is a rock star! Can you tell I am a fan? Yep! Count me in! Go there, you will thank me!

A day membership fee is only $6, but you can buy a month or year at a time for a discount. Paws for a Beer is an off leash Dog Park, that allows humans 21 + to accompany them. Dogs need to be spayed or neutered, and up to date on their vaccinations. A great place for doggos to socialize, sniff each other, play with balls, sit on furniture, and walk around freely. They own the joint! We are at their beck and call. There is no other place in Whatcom county like Paws for a beer! Furr babies are free to roam as they please. There are ropes they can hang from, obstacle courses to conquer. Furr parents can hang out and watch tv, have a beer, wine, or other fun drink that they have available. The majority of the play area is uncovered, but a good section is covered with lots of space heaters, and a small indoor area to sit, and also where to can get your special baby some treats, food, bones, or toys! Don't delay, take your Furr baby for a fun play date.
