    Expanded outdoor space for cornhole
    Mindy H.

    Wow! An incredible gem of a spot in Lynden. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but be brave and step through to an incredible space with friendly people and great local brews on tap - beer and cider. Or, good local Washington wine options to sip on. The outdoor space is amazing. One of the best outdoor beer gardens I have ever been too. It has an incredible fire pit, cozy spaces for large groups to hang out at and have great conversations. They don't have food onsite, but do have a rotating list of food trucks or you can bring your own food in. They also have an outdoor stage and good quality music sourced to play. Even room for dancing if you feel so inclined.

    The badger is the best place to relax and grab a pint or glass of wine in the county. They always have a great rotating tap list with something for everyone. The manager makes sure they have a little of every style, and with a myriad of events such as trivia, open mic, guided painting, and live shows, it's always a great time.

    Easy going atmosphere, good and well priced beer selection, karaoke night can be a hoot. Really nice outside when weather works.

    The atmosphere is fantastic! I wish they served food, but the food truck is a great way to support local restaurants!

    This is my favorite local beer garden! Live music, games, firepit, good beer all in a local community setting. Dog friendly!

    This year, my "26 in 26" goal is to visit new-to-me local businesses (or re-visit ones I haven't…read morebeen to in awhile). Judging from the fact my og review of Overflow's Lynden location is almost 10 years old (!), I'd say it's more than time for a refresh. A lot has changed since my 2016 declaration that "beer and Lynden" are not often two words you associate with each other. Lynden now has a few hoppy outposts, including a second Overflow location on the west side. Guess I'll add that one to my list, too! This particular Sunday, we were looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a quiet beer and play a game of cribbage. I was excited to see Overflow was open (back in "the day" most Lynden businesses were closed on Sundays). We grabbed a couple of pints (just $5 ea!) and sat down for our game. The service was friendly, the place was uncrowded, and it was hard not to order a second pint before the long drive home to the Ham. Overflow, congrats on 10 years in Lynden! It's great to see you're still thriving, still serving up some great beer choices, and still supporting clean water initiatives. Cheers!

    Overflow taps has 2 locations - Lynden, WA (original), and Bellingham, Wa in the Barkley village…read more Their locations are cute, with ever growing additions. Great beer, cider (lemon basil is delicious!), and now snacks. Great place to meet up with friends for a beer and a board game.
