    The El Camino burger is delicious & spicy! You can sub out the fries for a side salad.

    My fam and I came up to Bellingham last month to celebrate my nephew's birthday. We had great food (all our burgers, sandwiches, fries, and salads were perfectly made) and excellent, friendly service at the Filling Station. They even gave my nephew a free shake! We sat outside on a sunny day and it was super pleasant. We will definitely be back next time we're all up north again.

    We were hungry after a hike at North Chuckanut Mountain trail, and this was the closest burger place as we were craving burgers. The place is at the cor er of the street, so the place is in an L shape. Once you go in, there are some tables to your right by some window and more tables to your left. The bar is in the inner part. We got the chuckwagon burger and the triumph chicken sandwich. The triumph is in the sandwich section of the menu, but it comes on a sesame bun. The chicken was crispy yet tender on the inside but the cole slaw kind of made the rest a little dry. There is bbq sauce but not enough. The chuckwagon was good too. At first, I thought it was small as the bun was small however there is a big beef patty. The outside of the bun was a little hard to chew. It comes with au jus to dip which helped a bit. The service was great and the prices are reasonable.

    Friendly service, casual dining spot, hot fresh food. The only shortcoming was that the burger patty was tiny, like a McDonald's value patty.

    Great local burger joint. They elevate their food, but not so much that it loses that classic hamburger taste. Good selection of drinks, as well as many other things on the menu, but not too many. Really cool environment, at both locations. It's like stepping back in time with good old fashioned service. A good locals place for sure.

    Tasty food, not greasy, and overall good presentation! The server was attentive, and polite. The outdoor seating was nice on a summer evening. Overall, it was a nice spot to eat seafood or a burger!

    Just wow!! Such a cool place (loved the decor with the old license plates) but beyond that the food was excellent. I had the most delicious burger with bacon jam (Jaguar) and the Volt salad- both yum!!! My kids were disappointed there isn't a closer location near Seattle and they are picky eaters!! They got the Kids Rumble (not pictured). Mist importantly- the service was excellent!! There was just a very kind and family friendly vibe which to be honest I didn't expect in hip Bellingham. Will be back next time we're in town!!

    I could smell the dirty fryer oil when I walked in. I'd never order any food from here.

    Really good! The combo is a great deal and the servers are friendly. It's clean and has a nice vibe. Add a patty for 2 dollars.

A day membership fee is only $6, but you can buy a month or year at a time for a discount. Paws for a Beer is an off leash Dog Park, that allows humans 21 + to accompany them. Dogs need to be spayed or neutered, and up to date on their vaccinations. A great place for doggos to socialize, sniff each other, play with balls, sit on furniture, and walk around freely. They own the joint! We are at their beck and call. There is no other place in Whatcom county like Paws for a beer! Furr babies are free to roam as they please. There are ropes they can hang from, obstacle courses to conquer. Furr parents can hang out and watch tv, have a beer, wine, or other fun drink that they have available. The majority of the play area is uncovered, but a good section is covered with lots of space heaters, and a small indoor area to sit, and also where to can get your special baby some treats, food, bones, or toys! Don't delay, take your Furr baby for a fun play date.

The beer selection was stellar and my group tried the german lager and the Scotch ale with applause. Food: I ordered a pretzel and it was HUGE. Fed 3 of us and the mustard was surprisingly amazingly good - definitely exceeded expectations. On top of that, there is free popcorn at this joint which is was fresh, tasty and unlimited. Service: the staff was outstanding. Friendly, smiling, ready to serve up samples without an attitude and knowledgeable about their product. Ambiance: loved it. There was some college football on which was watch-able but not too distracting and the variety of high-tops, couches, and regular tables was a nice mix. We opted for the couch-chair combo and they were comfy and not worn out.

    I have the opportunity to visit the Corner Taphouse a few times this year with The Dude, and we…read morereally like it. They have a nice selection of taps (including more than just beer), some vintage video games, and offer live music regularly. On our most recent visit, we found one of our fave local musicians, Michael Dayvid, playing and managed to snag a cozy seat in the front row. We sipped our pints (I got an amber, Dude got an IPA) and enjoyed the show - right after a rousing game of Pac Man, of course. This is large space, so there's seating in the back if you don't want to be front row for the music. The service is friendly, too. Parking can be a little challenging, as it's only street parking, but it's not too bad. In a town that has a lot of breweries, but could use a few more cozy taphouses, Corner Taphouse fills a niche (especially in the Fairhaven area). I hope they continue to thrive!

Thanks for creating the most unique and thoughtful space for really enjoying games and employing staff that understands that.

So I can get my mario fix and check out some of the newer games. (Like the newest Tomb Raider on PS4!!!! Ahhh I love it!) This place is so nostalgic for me. One game I used to play a lot as a kid is Alex Kidd on sega. So much fun to play that and think of "the good 'ol days." They have happy hour everyday from 4-7. Which means the drinks (draft beer and a simple selection of liquor) are a bit cheaper and it is drink to play. If you don't want to drink it is $5 an hour for the first hour. Up to $15 for a day pass. Or $40 something for a month pass. Considering what you can get for that it is an amazing deal. They also have food. This is the only spot that made me consider not giving 5 stars, but I love this place even if they didn't have food. It was what I imagine all teenage boys eat while playing for hours in their basement. Frozen food they pop in a convection oven. And it is all nasty. However, I do watch people eating and they seem to enjoy it. Oh! This place is 18 and up after 8. They seem to be a bit easy on this rule, but just keep it in mind when you have a hankering to play some Mario at 9pm with a teenager. Lol
