    Cubano on ciabatta with roasted potatoes
    Robert M.

    I was in Bellingham for business, on a Sunday, and stopped by Boundary Bay, on a recommendation, to get something to eat before heading home. Parking was a little challenging due to my pickup. Luckily there were multiple options because I was visiting on Sunday afternoon. After being seated, again a lot of seating choices, I studied my menu and found 6 sandwiches I wanted and had to choose one! This was probably my worst experience at Boundary Bay. I spent an agonizing time figuring out my order, but eventually chose the Cubano sandwich on ciabatta with the roasted potatoes side. I was NOT disappointed The ciabatta was lightly toasted, adding a little crunch. The pork and ham with deliciously seasoned. The sandwich was just awesome! The roasted potatoes the size of large grapes or olives and had their own seasoning. Unfortunately, I spent too long enjoying the ciabatta cubano and my potatoes were cold before I paid any attention to them. Even so, they were still tasty. I chose to be seated at a table in the bar area and was watching a Seahawks Pre-season game until I lost interest to concentrate on my delicious sandwich.

    Grilled Fish Tacos

    This brewery is in a good location, but can get busy when it's across the farmer's market. We had a dog so we sat in their patio, and they were good at making sure customers with their dogs were sat a bit away from each other so the dogs each had their own space. Overall, we waited about 15-20 mins for our seats. I accidentally hit my glass pouring my own water, and although they said it was not a big deal and would get me another glass, the new cup never came. The host and server said they were going to get our dog water, but she never came back, and another server actually asked and bought us one herself. The food, I ordered their grilled fish tacos, and I wished it was fried instead. The fish was pretty bland and my boyfriend thought it was a bit under too. The rice and beans were good and seasoned though. Beer was good!

    Bahn Mi Bowl

    Great food and drinks here at Boundary Bay. Great friendly service by Brian (Bryan) too. They have a good menu of food items to choose from and we enjoyed the Hazy IPA and Pilsner beer and one of our party had a cocktail which also was tasty too. Grilled cheese with pear and Brie is a must try it was really a hit. The Bahn Mi bowl also had a fresh flavor as did the beer beef stew. We will definitely return to try some other items on our next visit to Bellingham.

    Ok, I don't usually give this low a review but here is the deal. First thing in the door, front staff seemed confused we were there, they were open, plenty of people sitting, but still so confusing. We were seated quickly which was great, but the server was gruff, never smiled, to be honest it seemed like all of the staff, right before we got there, had received terrible news, and everyone was bummed. The server barely communicated. And tried to leave as quickly as possible. Now the food. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, while my husband ordered the French dip. The food took a second, but that's fine, but what came out was surprisingly bad. The enchiladas looked good, as did the rice and beans, but then I ate them. The rice had almost no flavor, the beans were the consistency of mud, and the enchiladas, look everyone they were so similar to tv dinner enchiladas I was surprised. The chicken was almost a paste, the sauce was generic, the salsa had very little spice. And oh the heartburn and slight nausea afterwards. Ambiance, place looks cool, we were sat at a tiny table but it was cool on the inside, and outside seating looked fun. So if the staff had been having a bad day, sorry folks for the rating, but the food has no excuse, I will not be back.

    Chicken enchiladas.

    The atmosphere, food, and service were spectacular! I had the pesto salmon sandwich with the harvest salad. Soooooo good! My husband had the chicken enchiladas. He said they were delicious. Great selection of beers and cocktails. 5 stars all the way!

    Banh Mi Bowl
    Nikki B.

    We visited 15 breweries on our Beercation. My mom who's a solid Miller Lite drinker said after her second sip of Boundary Lager, "this is my favorite beer". Then she had her Banh Mi Bowl... "this is the best food." She liked it so much that our last day in town three days later she requested this be a last stop for beer and food. I explained crowlers to her and asked if she wanted one, but she declined. We parked out front of the brewery @ a meter...after sticking my credit card in three times and getting an error we went to the brewery to ask for assistance... we know we're smarter than a meter! We asked hostess Brawnty which she just kept saying they have nothing to do w the meters. My mom asked if anyone could help us? Brawnty directed us to bar manager Madison who said she wasn't sure either but she could try to help, my mom & her went out to the meter. Surprise!! Bellingham... what?! You put your credit card in the meter so it doesn't even read the chip!! Meter hack... I guess. Brian was our friendly server and when we returned a few days later, he was our server again! I like the tap room, it's spacious and fun: read note the canoes and other things suspended near the ceiling. I was intrigued to try the beer as Boundary Bay was celebrating 29 years that week! My mom opted for the Boundary Lager, which she thoroughly enjoyed. I opted for small pours of the Scotch Ale and Forever Young Porter. For lunch she had the Banh Mi bowl. After discussing w Brian who recommended the Cubano I opted for Mama J's BBQ Pork. Ehhh... it was good....but underwhelming... nobody put the bbq sauce on it. It was juicy buy juicy pork w coleslaw wasn't what I was going for. The sides options were chips or baby red potatoes. Brian suggested the potatoes... I wouldn't do those again. I only had a few but they took up a lot of space in my belly so I took most of the sandwich home w me. I should have flagged Brian down but..... Passive Aggressive Midwesterner.... Clearly that didn't sway our decision to come back. My mom again got her Boundary Lager. I opted for the Oktoberfest and split the Banh Mi sandwich with my mom. I liked their use of kegs on the patio. Thanks Boundary Bay for delicious beers, ,meals and helpful staff.

    Classic cheeseburger. Cooked perfectly!

The beer selection was stellar and my group tried the german lager and the Scotch ale with applause. Food: I ordered a pretzel and it was HUGE. Fed 3 of us and the mustard was surprisingly amazingly good - definitely exceeded expectations. On top of that, there is free popcorn at this joint which is was fresh, tasty and unlimited. Service: the staff was outstanding. Friendly, smiling, ready to serve up samples without an attitude and knowledgeable about their product. Ambiance: loved it. There was some college football on which was watch-able but not too distracting and the variety of high-tops, couches, and regular tables was a nice mix. We opted for the couch-chair combo and they were comfy and not worn out.

    I have the opportunity to visit the Corner Taphouse a few times this year with The Dude, and we…read morereally like it. They have a nice selection of taps (including more than just beer), some vintage video games, and offer live music regularly. On our most recent visit, we found one of our fave local musicians, Michael Dayvid, playing and managed to snag a cozy seat in the front row. We sipped our pints (I got an amber, Dude got an IPA) and enjoyed the show - right after a rousing game of Pac Man, of course. This is large space, so there's seating in the back if you don't want to be front row for the music. The service is friendly, too. Parking can be a little challenging, as it's only street parking, but it's not too bad. In a town that has a lot of breweries, but could use a few more cozy taphouses, Corner Taphouse fills a niche (especially in the Fairhaven area). I hope they continue to thrive!

The cider was a bit watered down even if they didn't actually add water to it, it just lacked a bit of flavor.

Good pairing with the burgers from the food truck El Pollo Feo and it looks like some people bring food from the food trucks here to enjoy with the beer.

I had the pleasure of visiting Kulshan on their very first night of operation, which was a longggg time ago. At that time, the only other two major breweries in town had full kitchens and great menus, and Kulshan planned to only feature food trucks. I thought this was a horrible idea! Especially considering, at the time, there weren't all that many food trucks around. Well, I was wrong. Kulshan concentrated on making good beer, and serving it up with a friendly smile in their warm, inviting little space. Food trucks have come and gone over the years, but the beer has remained consistently amazing, the staff welcoming, and the space is almost exactly the same (with a couple of minor mods, including removing the dart board many moons ago). They've also since opened a second, larger location, adding "K2" and the Trackside Beer Garden to a list of what is now many, MANY breweries in the city. This is definitely a must-visit on any Bellingham beer pilgrimage. Thanks, Kulshan, for all those good beers over the years!
