Admiralty Lounge is a nautical themed cocktail bar focused on seasonally minded comfort food and approachable craft cocktails, wine, beer, and other options. Both food and drink menus are constantly being fine tuned for accessibility re: dietary and lifestyle restrictions, as we want our vegan/vegetarian and sober guests to feel as comfortable in our space as everyone else. The nautical theme is a nod to both Bellingham’s history as a fishing and port town, and one of the owner’s status as a US Marine Corps veteran. We also want to emphasize education, both behind and at the bar, which has inspired our Teachable Tuesdays program which looks at the history of and possibilities with classic cocktails.
