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.

Not your typical Bellingham establishment. That's a compliment!…read more Do people come to Glynn's for food? Highly unlikely. Burger leaves much to be desired with little flavor and poor presentation. Potato wedges don't seem to be seasoned and we're over baked. Nachos are worth your time if you want a snack. The furnishings and carpet show their age. Not appropriate if you're on a date or trying to impress someone. Why 4 stars? The staff and patrons really make Glynn's a special place. People are friendly and social. Within 5 minutes of sitting down, 4 people approached us for service and participation in a Super Bowl activity. This is a contrast to typical service in Bellingham. Starin is an exceptional waitress and bartender. She checks in frequently and gives recommendations. She doesn't appear bothered to be doing the job for which she was hired. If you're Midwestern native like me, you'll feel right at home in Glynn's. I'm looking forward to attending events in the future.

BUT!!!! This place is gem. It just looks like something from another time and place, but it is really clean, people are friendly, drinks are affordable and I've watched many a hockey game on the TV's. Honestly, it might be one of the cleanest bars in all of Bellingham.

I have been here a few times and they have accepted my tribal ID but today there was a white lady working (said she worked there for 5 years) and that they would notaccept Tribal ID's and that they never have and that's their policy. I told her it's federally recognized and she said "I know but it's our policy" She said it's the owners rule that tribal is not accepted there. I point blank said "so tribal ids are not accepted here?" She said "no that's our policy and it's always been that way" I said good to know! Mind you after they didn't accept it she was handed a vertical id as well but they don't accept either . Now you all know. I was way too nice about this because trust me I have a lot more to say.

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.

Instead of dealing with that, staff escorted us out because my friend was "stumbling", which she wasn't. She had ONE drink and her heels hurt. Meanwhile, there were way more drunk girls there who were clearly wayyy too crunk, showing obvious signs of being wasted, and nothing was done about them. We paid to be there just to get kicked out for no reason while the actual problems were ignored. Insane work for a supposedly inclusive place. Such a bad experience and a total waste of money. Never again.

I hadn't been to Red Rum since wayyyy before covid, so I was excited to meet up with a friend for…read morehappy hour there last week. Red Rum is still the quintessential tiki bar, with mid-century vibes and lots of tiki accents (including my favorite: the immortal drink umbrella). We arrived just as they opened (happy hour starts at 4!) and enjoyed a couple of cocktails and a hearty order of fries on a pretty quiet weekday afternoon. While not the bar's fault, their downtown Bham block (even during broad daylight!) has become pretty sketchy since my last visit. Unfortunately, some of that crowd periodically stopped in to pay cash for a strong, quick shot (or two or three) of alcohol while we were there. To us, as solo females, it made the vibe feel a little off. The drinks were strong, though, and warmed us up on a chilly winter evening.
