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.
