Top Tags:
Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro in Bellingham, Washington is independently owned and operated. Since 1995, this eatery and brewery has gained popularity by serving fresh beer and food made from local ingredients. Adding to its character is the fact that Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro is housed inside a historic warehouse that was built in 1922. During nice weather, the deck is open and there is also a beer garden that is used for barbequing and enjoying outdoor concerts. Aside from the amazing beer at Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro, the food here is great too. There is hummus, chips and salsa, Bavarian pretzels, three different kinds of nachos and an incredible pulled pork sandwich.

    Friend staff, fast service and great food! They were able to seat us earlier than our reservation, which I appreciated. A great experience all around.

    Meh. I made reservations for at outside table so my father, who has mobility issues, could enjoy the cello duo playing outside and the patio flooded, our reservation was moved indoors. He was really let down. I thought the restaurant had a better outdoor set up.

    This restaurant is one I have been to before a long time ago. They have great prices on their food and drink. My husband and I split the Reuben and were plenty full. We each ordered two drinks and they were delicious. It is a great deal. I would go back to this restaurant again if I were in the area. Loved sitting outside in the covered area. The service was excellent.

    Fun place to visit. Our fish tacos were very good but the salmon pesto sandwich less successful - the salmon was overcooked and pesto was hard to find.

    The food was yummy and the beer excellent. The cheesecake was not the best but they did not have any from the bakery so I think they had bought it from a store. I liked the restaurant and we had a great time.

    Pro’s- Overall the food was tasty, we had the Reuben, Pesto Salmon sandwich and Keg Burger! Staff were very nice! Con’s - Soda machine is either broken or not installed properly, as there was no carbonation in any of the drinks, and the potato chips were stale. I would go back again and give them another chance, and maybe bring my dogs since they seem like they are dog friendly.

    We were excited to go here for dinner as part of weekend family trip. Our server was very rude - to the point where it ruined our experience. The food was ok - but unfortunately not good enough to overshadow the rude behaviour of our server. We won’t return.

    Boundary Bay is my go to place for a meal with friends and family. A great menu with something for everyone. The beer is super but you don’t have to drink beer to enjoy this eatery. Whether you eat inside or out, you’ll have a wonderful experience. It doesn’t hurt that they have community spirit and support local talent and causes.

    Service was slow and not great. The food came out at all different times so it was cold for the people who got it first and had to wait for everyone to eat. Food was ok not great, the presentation of the food was a little sloppy.

    Beef Nachos had next to no beef - 6 $ additional. Pretzel had zero salt. Had the pretzel as an appetizer. FYI , Pretzel was also served on the dessert and on hamburger roll. Ice pcream was flavorless. Roast beef was well overdone. Server couldn’t be bothered. Asked her about an ordered soda and she educated me on how she put the order in and had to wait for it ( over 10 min). Brought dessert out with food dishes still on table. Outdoor Seating is nice.

    I had reserved a table for a party of 6. All went swimmingly. It was on a Saturday night so there was a band, which was great though we couldn’t really hear each other, but we had a good time. Staff was perfect. The food was semi disappointing. 3 of us got fish tacos including myself. They were offensive in no way except that they didn’t taste like anything. Very bland. Wonderful space, great staff, good menu but it definitely has room to improve in the food/flavor department.

    Great brewery on site - one of few places with Scotch Ale on tap. The food is always excellent, presented well, and appetizing. The wait staff and counter folks are incredibly friendly and helpful. This is my go to place whenever someone asks if I want to go out for lunch or dinner. I am handicapped and use a walker and they have always been very accommodating. Handicapped parking spot right in front of the pub.

    This was our second time here and we will definitely be back again. The meatloaf was amazing the first time but this visit I ordered the Sloppy Joe and it, too was delicious. Love the feel of the place but the hard walls made it a tiny bit difficult to hear but we managed just fine. Not sure how that could be changed, anyway. Our server Caleb was great and we never had to wait long for him to check on us as seems all too common with most servers.
