Cabin Tavern

The Cabin is a place that is mostly known for amazing burgers and good deals on drinks. This is a beer / wine only bar and they don't stock hard booze which is totally fine with me. They run a decent karaoke night here but the setup needs improvement... that said its still a great time and the regulars are the most friendly people in town! Don't skip over this bar!

I really can't speak for this place as a patron, as the only time I was there was with a band I had booked there. I didn't even drink. From that experience alone though, I probably wouldn't return. I booked a show with some lady over email, she asked me to find other bands to join us, so I found 4 others and made the flyer. It seemed a little like I had just done her job for her, but it's not the first time a venue has asked me to find our own openers. Well 5 bands already seemed like a lot to us, but she assured me it would be fine, they would start the show a little earlier. We drove 3.5 hours to get there, only to find out that some band we'd never heard of was told that they could play also. So we had to cram SIX bands into the time allotted, giving each band about 3.5 minutes to setup and break down, and about 20 minutes to play. After driving 3.5 hours, playing for 20 minutes was kind of a bummer. Not only that, but the band that they let play was of a totally different genre than the 5 other bands that night, and I got a lot of confused looks and people asking me "who the hell is this band?" Of course, the only person I talked to about booking this show just conveniently happened to not be there. There wasn't a single flyer, that I had made, hanging on the door or any of the walls, and we left with 12 bucks. That only covered about 30 minutes of our 3.5 hour drive we had to get home. Won't be booking this place again.

On a brighter note, I'm sure this is a great place to get drunk at.

Whenever I'm in Bellingham I stop in to the Cabin Tavern ,Great burgers, Cheap Pool, Bands on the weekends. The Cabin Rules!
