Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro

Boundary Bay is a Bellingham staple. The food is always very good. The harvest salad is great as are the yam enchiladas and the beef stew. The wait times hinder me from going here however. Last time I was told a 30 min wait while I looked at a half empty restaurant. Today on a Wednesday at 5:35 I was told 5 or 10 minutes and there were 14 free tables and 5 seated tables. I’m not sure their front of house system, but it’s too long to wait and I’m not going to do this again. There are other solid food options and especially breweries in walking distance if the wait time is too long.

BBB is an institution and if for no other reason than they have been making solid craft beer since like the dawn of time you should definitely check it out. food: salmon chowder and it was (as always) good. beer: had the NZ lager and it was really nice — one of the best beers i’ve had there. three stars for the insane noise level of the space made infinitely worse by a screaming baby (don’t get me wrong… babies are fine, but screaming babies in an echo-prone room is incomprehensibly annoying). all this to say, the overall experience was chaotic, but in general have always had a good time here.

Just stopped in for a quick pint and a pretzel. The beer was tasty. The pretzel was ok…it had the frozen texture to it. The other food coming out looked good. They have outdoor seating and a beautiful beer garden. The beer garden is for beer drinking only…no food service. We would definitely return to try more of the menu. Cheers 🍻
