Great summer spot for friends gatherings, or a romantic day out with a loved one…read more The service was superb, they have lots of drink options from wine, mimosas, slushy, or beer. It is 21 and over, but lots of areas for kiddos to run around. The rooftop has amazing views of the summer sunset.

Starla's Tavern is incredible! I loved Blotto on Capitol Hill in Seattle and was so sad when they…read moreclosed. But I was so happy when I saw that Starla's Tavern was opening in Bellingham! The menu is much the same, and executed flawlessly. We had the Pepperoni & peppers pizza, with pepperoni that cups perfectly and just the right amount of Mama Lil's to make it interesting but not too spicy. The potato leek pizza was delectable, and the Blotto burnt potatoes with Labneh and chili-vin has my mouth watering just writing about it. Paired with an exceptionally funky Orange wine, this will be my go-to whenever I'm in Bellingham. Be mindful the place gets busy! Staff is kind and efficient. You'll love this place!

Wine pours, or bottles, are served up alongside changing plates of bites that are great for snacking or sharing. This is the perfect spot to sit and share wine, food, and a good time with your friends or family and maybe relive some of Blotto's good ol' times. Like what you drank? They offer a well curated selection of bottles for retail, mostly from Europe. This neighborhood bar hits the spot.

Great wines and phenomenal charcuterie boards…read more The owner is a retired chef who's passion is wine (and pairing it with delicious things). I stopped by for a glass of wine and ended up leaving with 2 bottles plus a new appreciation for Washington GSMs and pinots! Purchased a 2017 GSM (grenache-syrah-mouvedre) from Latta, Columbia Valley AVA ($25) and a 2019 Syrah from Rockgarden Vineyards, Walla Walla AVA. Looking forward to trying both soon! Definitely splurge in the charcuterie boards; they are works of art!

My Queen and I stopped by at 6:58 to grab a bottle of wine, since the sign said open. There was a…read morerope across the entrance, however there were people inside at a table as well as outside.. Can't say for sure, but all the people there were Caucasian and we are not, sooo... Gonna take a stab in the dark, but I bet the owner is white too, which could mean our money isn't good there.

A small tapas bar with a very pleasant outdoor seating area (both on a patio with shade, and on…read morethe sidewalk with less shade). We had a cider and a glass of rose - both perfectly ok, but nothing special (Bellingham dry cider, San Marzano Tramari rose). We had two salads: the Italian chopped salad, which was delicious, and a daily special salad (a watermelon salad) which was bland (basically feta chunks, lots of arugula, and chunks of watermelon which was curiously lacking in flavor). The staff was friendly and helpful, unobtrusive but available. The net of it - a wonderful atmosphere, a choice of things to drink, and one great salad, one bland salad ... I'd go back - it's only a block from the Mount Baker Theater where we went for a live music performance -- but I'd choose what to order carefully.

Service was ok, took a long time to be seated even though we had reservations. To be fair we did book the dining room, but opted to be seated outside because the weather was nice. Just a bit disappointed it took the server 20 minutes to clear a picnic table that only had a few items on it.

Ugh, I'm struggling to give a 3 star.. I sat at the bar and our bartender was attentive and great …read more I've heard great things about the cocktails at Redlight but I chose to just get a soda water with lime... delicious as always ! I ordered the chilled sweet and sour potato and was very disappointed. $17 for what I got was insane. It was just a few slivers of potato and carrot on top of cold vermicelli. I loved the decor and atmosphere, but it was a very underwhelming experience for me. I'll definitely give it another try and give something else a try. Maybe enjoy the outdoor seating , outdoor seating in the summer in Bellingham is a MUST

Fun, lively place with great food…read more We showed up at 5 on a Sunday and the place was already almost full - we were seated at the bar and then moved to a table. Both seating options were nice and allowed us to be around people while still being able to hear our dining companions. Extensive cocktail menu of well crafted and interesting cocktails. A mocktail menu of equally well crafted cocktails is also available upon request. We tried a variety of flavorful dishes. The hot noodles are particularly delicious - a comfort food like dish that is spicy and satisfying and plentiful. The crispy salt and pepper tofu is also delicious - a satisfying crunch and a soft inside. We also tried the crispy eggplant bao which I probably wouldn't get again, but it was definitely pretty and hardy. I'd definitely go by again next time I'm in Bellingham!

This place is best for…read morelarger groups as there is limited seating in the sense that there are a few tables that seat 6+ people easily, but we went around 3pm when it wasn't busy so we didn't feel guilty taking one of the larger tables to ourselves when it was only half occupancy. We tried the bioluminescence drink and the toasty marshmallow latte. The bioluminescence drink is very aesthetic and drinks like a soda / energy drink, though it is a one and done for me as I don't feel the sparkles are the most healthy thing. The toasty marshmallow latte was a bit pricy at $7.50 but they had 3 pieces of toasted marshmallow that is perfect (s'mores like but not burnt) and there is a lot of drink. It was on the sweeter side for me. They have Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the side but it was a bit stale, but I won't be docking off a star as there's not much to it and everything else was delicious. We opted to dine in for the aesthetics and I'd recommend doing so as there's higher price point doesn't seem as worthwhile if you take these drinks to-go
