    a happy hour menu
    Jenna D.

    In all the years I've been in Bellingham, I've never been here. It's intimate and small, with great drinks and a decent food selection for light bites. As I'm ancient and love the Oldies (read: music from the 80s/90s), the sound selection was also to my liking. Four of us walked in, had drinks, chatted, and it was lovely. The daily drink special wasn't my cup of tea, but the happy hour deals were pretty awesome so we partook. The drinks are pretty reasonably priced and there were two TVs playing a fireplace, and then some sort of fun X games show. I wouldn't recommend it for big groups, or if you're really hungry. The menu is a lot more light apps and smaller things, and the space IS small. But it is absolutely perfect for a date night or to catch up with an old friend.

    As a used-to-be Bellingham local, this place was new to me! I quite enjoyed their cheap late night menu and selection, and the coconut margarita was to die for! The ambiance was lovely, but definitely a small place! The outdoor seating is a nice touch as well. The servers were especially nice in general, but when a drunk customer was a bit out of line they came to the rescue and handled the situation appropriately. I'll be back! Glad to see some more places opening in Barkley!

    Drink selection.

    Excellent choice of drinks and the service is amazing. Kate, the owner is warm and friendly. This is a great place to relax and have a top shelf cocktail at a great price in Barkley Village. I highly recommend it!

    Most delicious Paloma

    Love this little spot! It's a one man show most of the time, but the drinks are always delicious and so is the food!

    Love the ambiance!

    Tucked into a tiny spot in hoppin' Barkley Village, The Blue Abode is one of the newest entries on the Bham cocktail scene. They boast tasty craft cocktails, a nice selection of craft taps, and a pub-style menu of sandwiches, soups, and salads. This is the type of place I walk into and say to myself "I could be a regular here" because it's cozy and the service is super friendly. There's plenty of seating at the bar, a few tables, and even a small patio in front where you can watch the Barkley happenings along the sidewalk. While it's not a great spot for a large group, that's what makes it more special and intimate. At night the lighting is chill and makes a nice mood - would be a GREAT spot for a date!

    Peach mojito! So good

    Love this place! I appreciate that it's unpretentious with great drinks! We've always appreciated the owner's care and hard work but also just enjoyed great service from Jenna. Definitely worth coming by for a drink or snack!

    Drinks were wonderful!!

    This place is super cute! I went on a Sunday night for a drink with a friend and was delighted by this new place! They had a lot of delicious sounding drinks. Pros: Both drinks I tried were fabulous! I can't wait to try more! I had a PINK BASIL SOUR & a SKINNY GRANNY with muddled basil The bartender was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very friendly and welcoming Grilled cheese I had was perfect! Just the snack I needed Cozy environment Cons: It is a smaller place, so I would not recommend for large groups! Overall my experience here was delightful and I will be back again!

    We used to absolutely love coming here for the food- specifically the mozzerella sticks and fish…read moreand chips (cod and chips) but in recent visits they have been pretty mediocre and we are so disappointed! The fish pieces were super small instead of the big ones we used to get. We were told they were hand cut, but the plate ended up being 75% French fries. The mozzerella sticks used to be cheesy, stringy and delicious and recently were a bit chewy despite us asking for them to be fried longer. We still love the place- drinks are good and well priced and pool is always fun!! Looking for a new fried food spot in town, though.

    We decided to stop by here for dinner on our way back from Vancouver BC. It was late at night, this…read morewas the only place I could find to eat. It was busy on a Saturday, but the service was quick and good. We looked at the menu and smiled. Ribeye's steak was only $26 and the fish and chips were $15. My husband and I joked each other that we would probably get some tough meat or a little steak. The Fish and Chips were a plateful and the steak was a good size. I had the Fish and my husband had the Steak. The meat was grilled just right and had a nice flavor, and the fish were large and delicious. I don't think there are many places where you can get steak for $26 these days. We also ordered sandwiches and sweet potato fries to take home. However, Both the fish and chips fries and the sandwich fries were so salty that we were completely inedible. Please use less salt on the fries.

    It's not quite the new year yet, but I decided to hit the first spot on my "26 in 26" list of local…read morerestaurants I've either never visited, or am returning to after a long absence. The Loft is a happy hour favorite from yesteryear. And I'm pretty sure I haven't visited in at least 5 or 6 years. It used to be an after work happy hour staple for me and my Bham friends. With great drink prices and delicious appies, it was always a win. Yesterday, The Dude and I hit them up for happy hour and I was excited to see some of their old staples still on the menu - including reasonably priced beer and their famous dry ribs! We also grabbed a caesar salad and a side of garlic rosemary mashed potatoes to share. The dry ribs were all that I remembered. They're tender yet crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The potatoes were tasty, too. The salad was a disappointment, unfortunately. We also enjoyed a couple of beers, which are only $5.50 on the HH menu. Our server, who was also the bartender, was incredible! And of course, you can't beat the beautiful harborside setting here.

The waitress was awful, she kind of wandered back and forth because she couldn't multi task. She forgot various things we requested. Some guy came out (bartender maybe) and asked us how things were, but he answered his own question with 'good' and walked off. If he would have allowed me to answer I would have told him. Came here years ago now I remember why this place isn't a regular happy hour location for us. Just all around gross. Will never be back.
