    This place is great, amazing Happy Hours, friendly Staff, and quiet Environment! Lots of tables for card games, board games and a drink :-)

    Pull tabs too if you're so inclined!

    Ok, the Beav is a dive with cheap beer and drinks, fried food and not much else (pool tables here though!) This is a 4 star establishment for exceeding expectations on most levels. Service is great and the vibe is fun and relaxed. Just a nice place to have a drink with the friendly drinking locals!

    In a city that is flooded with hipster bars this place is where you can get a strong drink and be left alone.

    The only reason to come to the Beav is the top bartender in Bellingham... Don! "Beware of the Don". Awesome place, great vibe. Thanks!

    Every time I'm back all efforts are made to end the night at the Beav, as all nights should be ended.

    Be careful when you pay- make sure you get a receipt We…read morewere given the payment thing and then a few minutes later the bartender said "are you done it shouldn't take this long" and ripped it out of my hand 10 minutes later when I got his attention again and asked for a receipt- he acted like I requested a change in parliament..... It was a while until I got one... but it was incorrect....and a tip was placed on it that I Didn't give It was just and the owner was there (as a patron) Be careful of your $$$$ here We won't be back Notice the 1 stars are very recent.....

    I've been coming here for about 3 years now and have literally never had an issue until last week…read more My partner and I went out last Thursday for a low key date night. We don't go out much, but when we do we usually stop here. It was actually a really slow night, which was kind of nice since it's normally packed. I told the bartender I was going to the bathroom and my boyfriend walked in with me. We were in there for maybe a minute or two. Only I used the restroom and nothing weird or inappropriate happened. When I came back out, the bartender gave me the most disgusted look and said something like, "Really? You guys went into a single stall bathroom together? Really?" I was honestly confused and immediately apologized and said I didn't know that wasn't allowed. Instead of just explaining it, she responded with, "How do you not know that? That's common sense?" and then implied it was a drug or sex thing. I genuinely did not know that, and there were no signs posted saying only one person was allowed in the bathroom (that I saw). I've also been coming here for years and have never been talked to about this before. The way she handled it felt super rude and embarrassing. A simple "Hey, just so you know, that's not allowed here" would have been totally fine. She then said she could still serve us, but by that point I felt really uncomfortable. I apologized for the drink she had already made and said we were going to head somewhere else. Her response was a very rude "Okay, bye!" I've worked in food service for 5 years and I would never talk to a customer like that, especially when they clearly didn't know they were doing anything wrong. The whole interaction completely killed the vibe and honestly ruined our night. I even emailed the owner twice over the past week because I didn't want to leave a bad review without giving them a chance to respond, but I never heard back.

    Decades ago I came here often. I haven't been back for over 7 years. Yesterday, three of us decided…read moreit was time for some excitement. Upon entering ( at 4:30pm), I was struck by how many people were there; it was almost full. We were quickly greeted by Mikey (aka; "Yonzo"). Very friendly, very helpful. We received our drinks promptly and ordered food. The fish & chips were generous and tasty. The breading was unusual, but was again, tasty. I couldn't determine what it was, but I would order it again. The bowl of clam chowder was very generous and again "unusual". Plenty of clams and thyme. I would order it again. I went to the bar to request another beer and buy some pull tabs. I noticed the wall of pull tabs was entirely covered with Christmas decorations. When asked, Yonzo informed me that the new owner had not yet completed the process to offer pull tabs. Apparently, a new owner arrived in April of this year (2024). It was interesting to note that the entire place looked to be cleaner, with a very upbeat and friendly atmosphere. In all, we enjoyed the food and had a great time in the "new" tavern. We will be back. After all, this tavern is a piece of Bellingham's history.

    Food and service is always amazing!! They are super inclusive and have free pool with any purchase,…read moretheir bathrooms are clean and the view out over the water is beautiful :) We accidentally stayed about 30 minutes late but they were very kind about it; this is an awesome place to spend your night!

    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.
