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.

I love everything about Boundary. The beer is great, with a fun selection. The food is locally sourced and fresh. It's always hard for me to choose what to order, but know I can't go wrong. Customer service is always friendly and good.

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.

This place was much better when we Visited years ago. The food is average at best. Our party of 3 did not enjoy our orders. The hamburger and appetizer pretzel were blah. The yam enchiladas were decent. The gumbo was a dumb choice. Really disappointing overall. Not too expensive, but still not worth it. There are many better places with pub food in the area. Our server was great though.

I requested outdoor dining when I made reservations. We’re old! We still wear masks! We prefer outside! But when we (5 ppl) got there we were told outdoor dining is closed. We stayed but wore masks. If possible, sitting outside should not be offered on the reservation form 🙃

Charming brewery style restaurant! I sat outside in their covered dining area, but there is also indoor dining. The servers were friendly and helpful and the food was yummy. I got the daily special soup, a vegetable medley, and the grilled salmon fillet. Both were full of flavor and filling meals. Their Oktoberfest beer was fantastic as well! Even more tasty than the real deal, in my opinion. Everything was well worth the price! Thank you for a lovely experience!

We dined outdoors on a lovely October evening - I prefer the outdoor seating as it is noisy inside. Had my ususal, the yam enchiladeas - enjoy those quite a bit. We shared a hummus appetizer - very good hummus, doesn't taste like overly processed store bought and plenty of fresh veggies. Was good for five adults as a light appetizer. The service was good, the hosts are attentive and do a good job. Everyone else had a burger of some kind, the side potatoes were good (ate a couple of my dining partner's potatoes!). Nice place for a family dinner, nice mix of customers.
