There was a noticeable cigarette odor inside and some questionable soft-pornographic artwork on the walls. We asked about wine but weren't given a menu. The bill came to $26 for two glasses of a modest pour. We understand Friday Harbor can be expensive, but $26 felt unreasonable given the lack of a view or anything particularly special about the setting. Unfortunately, we likely won't be back.

The theater is small but the screen appears very large and the sound quality is good. This is a great resource for the community and for the tourists that visit. So have fun, pig on popcorn and support this community asset. The theater has some interesting village features. For instance there are no tickets.

It's very much a small town movie theater that only shows Fridays and Saturdays and carries only one movie. In the summer they usually show two (early one for kids, late one for adults), but I'm not sure if that continues. The people who run the theater are very nice and there is plenty of room in the theater (which usually isn't crowded).

They are too soft and tend to sink (as if folding up) if one sits too far back. However, I am very disappointed that they are still using single-use plastic cups for those refreshments - two small cookies or a few pretzels per cup. This is such an assault on the environment, especially when there are alternatives available. Some forward-thinking restaurants are now using paper cups so I know there are options - even paper cupcake liners would work. I have mentioned this several times to staff and have been told they will "bring it up", but still no change. So disappointing! I encourage everyone to advocate for our Mother Earth... We are killing her.

This weekend they hosted a local craft fair where there was a button trade, multiple floors of local crafts, and I even picked up some vinyl. Additionally down in the lower level I found an alternative lending library (with zines of course) and some indie publications for sale. There was even an artisan guitar maker who took a break from his craft to talk about what he does. The whole experience was straight up cool. I will make sure to stop back in the next time I am in Bellingham and drop a few bucks in the donation jar because creative spaces like this enrich communities and support the arts for us all.

His taste in art by San Juan Islands artists is eclectic -- inspiring, humorous, ironic, abstract, representational -- in a range of media. The house reflects his own craftsmanship in construction and decoration, and grew from its origins as a cabin to a mansion of many rooms, soaring ceilings, windowed walls, and outdoor stairways. Leo's folly is the grotto, which he continues to work on after 17 years. Wine also is his passion, and his wine room has patterned walls made of used corks. Altogether, a wonderful tour.
