i was skateboarding in bellingham last tuesday and as i was riding, all of a sudden, i roll over a little pebble with my wheel and it completely stops my skateboard. i launch forward and scrape my knee. i brush myself off and look at the pebble i hit and yell at it for being an ass. as i was yelling at the ass pebble i notice it's lying right next to a pull tab...like the ones you see in bars sometimes that can win you small prizes. at that moment, out of nowhere, a beautiful woman that happened to be there, goes to pick up the pull tab. as she reaches for it i notice that she's missing a finger. but she was still very pretty. she looks at my knee and sees that it is slightly bleeding. she feels bad, so she hands me the pull tab. the pull tab was already used, and it's a loser, but it was a nice gesture. i tell her thanks, and that i'm sorry that she had lost a finger. she says that it's ok and then points across the street to the waterfront tavern. she says the loser pull tab is from there. she invites me into the waterfront tavern to play some more pull tabs. i accept, and i'm glad i did.
Review Source:First bar that is open in bellingham, great for graveyard shift people wanting an after work beer. Their breakfast is super good and super cheap. The steak they use for steak and eggs is actually a pretty decent cut for 8 bucks. Better than 15 dollars at sherrys or dennys that only give you a thin peice of crap. And the drinks, as you can guess are stiff. Which is great.
Review Source:If you are anything like me, you enjoy ending your day with a $1.50 glass of Bud Light, a crazy pull-tab sesh, and a round or two of Big Buck Hunter Pro. All of this can be yours by patronizing Bellingham's glorious Waterfront Tavern at 521 West Holly Street. Located just outside of downtown, on a dark road near the water, beside the city's crisis homeless shelter, where many of your fears and nightmares reside, the Waterfront Tavern has been a popular spot for decades because of the cheap drinks and seedy hospitality. Having served such prominent social figures as Ted Bundy and the Hillside Strangler, the Waterfront possesses a disturbing je ne sais quoi that attracts locals and visitors alike.
I actually do enjoy beginning or ending the night at the Waterfront because it is a no-nonsense watering hole that serves its drinks just-chilled and its grub greasy. Do not, however, spend an extended period of time here or you will likely end up depressed, or maybe dead. Seriously though...I do try to drink at the Waterfront every time I visit Bellingham. As a Vancouverite, I appreciate any establishment that allows - nay, encourages - its customers to drink without ordering food. There are bylaws in British Columbia that tie alcohol sales to food orders, thus restricting the amount of alcohol businesses can serve. Canada lacks taverns, and I find the expectations of food orders very annoying in this country.
If you are wanting to order food at the Waterfront, or if someone (literally) holds a gun to your head and makes you select an item off the menu to consume, just avoid all seafood. While this is likely a no-brainer for most, one really shouldn't taunt the Salmonella gods by taking a flier on the fried oysters. You are pretty safe with the burgers and fries, but why would you ever subject yourself to this mediocrity when considering the plethora of solid restaurants in the city? It is worth noting that the Waterfront is close to Chuckanut Brewery, which serves decent pub food and is also the city's best microbrewery.
Home to bikers and about 300 neon beer signs, The Waterfront is lit to the point of being obnoxious...but then again, so are the patrons. (see, I just made a pun on the word "lit"...I know...clever) No live music, but they've got pool, pull tabs, and Rainier on tap. If you like to drink during the day, you can get a nice view of Bellingham Bay, upon which the Waterfront sits, hence the name. Located next door to the Chuckanut Brewery.
Review Source:Wow what can I saw about the waterfront... It has to be my favorit bar in town. Â They have great bar food and the owners are the most down to earth nice people you will ever meet! Â Their drinks are strong and cheap, so no complaints from this college students wallet. Â
They also hold card games... You must check out this bar!
I went here for the first time last weekend. Â The bartender was awesome, the beers were cheap, and the whiskeys were nice, big pours. Â There was a birthday happening and they had balloons shaped like breasts. Â I chewed some rubber nipples, ate greasy delicious oysters, and hobnobbed with the regulars. Â Apparently DC sniper John Allen Muhammad, Ted Bundy, and the Hillside Strangler all bellied up to this bar. Â I didn't ask about because I thought it would be uncouth. Â This is now my new favorite watering hole while visiting Bellingham.
Review Source:As long as you know that this isn't a dance club and you just want to have a beer with friends and chat with regulars this is a great stop. When I was there last we ended up talking to these two guys about deep sea fishing and marriage. It was a lot of fun. They have regular card games which is pretty neat and dart boards as well.
Review Source:The place is a dive. The food is good but very greasy. The regulars are a tough crowd so don't go if your looking to pick up a date... The draw here is that 3 different serial killers have drank at this bar. The locals aren't usually too happy to talk about it, but just google "waterfront Tavern, Bellingham Washington" and you will get all the details...
