We took a seat at the bar and we ordered our round of drinks. He gave my boyfriend a Guinness (which was not a proper guinness weird to label this place as an irish pub) and gave me a water. He said I had to drink the water before he would serve me. I laughed it off and said I would never deny hydration and he stood in front of me and watched while I drank the entire water. Once finishing, he refilled it and said drink it. I had two drinks over the span of hours this night and was not drunk by any means. My partner asked if it was an Incel bar and the bartender said " I guess it is". Super weird place and the ambiance was non existent. We went to another bar down the street and I had two drinks with no issues.

This is a great little place to catch some comedy, have a drink, or listen to some live music…read more It's cozy and they have a pretty decent tap list, which includes beer, wine, cider, and cocktails, and there's a limited food menu. You are also permitted to bring in outside food, which is convenient because The Filling Station is literally across the street. Parking is on the street which can be tricky on busy days, but a short walk doesn't hurt! Service is always friendly, and I have had a good time here because there's truly something for everyone.

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!

This is a sweet place. I came for the music (Anissa and Erik). (I even apologized to the staff--RJ,…read moreI believe he told me--explaining that's why I was there and I likely wouldn't be spending much money. He was nice as could be! And later told me he loved the music too.) Anyway, I liked their ginger beer--it had a little zing to it. I liked their humongous pretzel (I've never had one of these before--delish with and without the spicy mustard. I didn't really look at the interior of the place, but the outdoor seating area is very pleasant (though some cushions would be nice) and clearly very popular. One of the things I liked was that they have several different kinds of seats. There are a few umbrellas in spots--which is good as they are opposite to the setting sun. Food trucks were at the ready. Again, sweet place with at least one super nice staffer.

Our food was delicious and fresh. I got the BLAT sandwich with the side garden salad. My hubs got the French dip sandwich with the side Harvest Salad. We shared and got to taste each other's sandwiches. Both were spot on and satisfying. We especially appreciated the au jus that came with the French dip. It was tasty and not overly salty like so many other places. My hubs actually drank some of it after we finished the sandwich, it was that good! Neither of us drinks beer but we ordered their home brewed root beer and it was great. Very flavorful and not too sweet. Highly recommended. BBB is a wonderful place with a laid back vibe and upbeat crowd. Can totally understand why it's a Bellingham institution and we look forward to visiting again!

We shared the Bavarian Pretzel appetizer and it was fresh and soft, served with a spicy mustard. The herbal tea came with a great selection of options. For dinner, hubs and I shared a Reuben with a Harvest salad. GREAT portion of salad, flavorful and very filling. The Reuben was served with thick pieces of corned beef, very tasty. The 1/2 portion and salad was way more than enough. We celebrated a birthday, and our server gave us a chocolate brownie with PRETZEL a la mode. The pretzel was genius. Our table devoured it. Why have I never had a brownie with pretzels. *adding to my future dessert favorites!

We're regulars at the Flatstick Pubs in Redmond and South Lake Union so it was cool to try a new course. The atmosphere here is chill and clean with plenty of seating for small or big groups. Also, the parking in their lot is free so don't park on the street where you have to pay. Admittedly, the golf course is not quite as fun as at the other Flatsticks because there's no wacky statues by the artist Henry or funny, crazy obstacles, but we still had a great time playing it. The staff here were especially nice, laid back, and friendly. Next time, we will play mini golf AND corn hole outside. We'll be back!

Gonna be honest here. It was rainy, we had a few hours to kill before our party and we walked here…read more Saturday afternoon, a round of mini golf and our mission was complete. Time had been killed. It was busy, a private party was going on and there were a lot of kids. Mini golf was fine, weird that you do the same 8 holes over again but whatever. Did not order drinks, or food but I'm sure it's fine too. Loud with a lot of TV's, so that served to aid in our time killing mission.

Overflow Taps definitely fits in the latter category. A Barkley Village staple, Overflow has been around for awhile now. It's a great spot to stop in for a pint or glass of something tasty on tap. They feature small breweries, cideries, and wineries and have a broad enough selection that it would be hard not to find something good to drink here. They also offer some NA options like hop water, and even have a cooler with cans to go. I was more than pleased to see they've added a few, simple food options too. (Helllooooo Cajun tots!) I hadn't visited Overflow since attending one of their pre-covid Clean Water Happy Hours, but was invited last night to watch the Seahawks game with friends. It was a light but fun crowd, enjoying the cozy ambiance together as we cheered the 'Hawks to victory (with the help of one especially enthusiastic staff member/superfan who sported a Seahawks flag-cape and got the crowd roaring together for every first down). Here's to good beer and a friendly atmosphere at Barkley Village. I'll definitely be adding Overflow back into my regular rotation!

I ordered an Oregon cider that wasn't too sweet. 3) Service: It was impeccable. It feels like a family and every customer is treated with kindness. Even dogs are welcome! 4) Space: It's a beautiful space with a parking lot and loft seating. Outlets were near the tables so I could charge my phone as I ate.
