Cap Hansen's Tavern

Went here with a couple of friends that live in Bellingham/surrounding area at their suggestion for some cheap drinks before going to JD McPherson this past Friday night. It was stated that the drinks were cheap, and pretty much has been a "working man's bar" for decades. This place has character. Sure it's divey, yep, the vinyl on the seats are ripped, but who cares? They're comfy, and the service is good, and the drinks were indeed strong. We only stayed for one drink, but I'd have been happy to stay there longer.

Most times the bartenders are not so rad. Not a ton of seating.

I liked this bar. It was filled with a comfortable mix of people - mostly regulars. Drinks were good, bartenders were nice, polite and the people came from all walks. No cliques that I saw. No pretentious snobs -- just regular people who happened to be there.

A pleasant surprise! I'll be back!!
