The Temple - Bellingham

Came here with my Husband and our dog (patio) and everyone was super sweet and accommodating.

Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful evening. Ordered off the Happy Hour menu. There are no wrong choices.

Wow, this is just truly how you dine in Bellingham. First you just start with wonderful seating options, whether indoor or outdoor you’re in a cozy spot. Then you have the service, each moment feeling like you’re the best most vip customer they have ever gotten, even while you see them delivering the same service to others. But you won’t be jealous because they will explain the menu, drinks and food, to your taste. Any question, they’ll answer and do it honestly. Then the food. Oh geez. The menu seems small but it is so not when it come out and is set in front of you. I feel like you always get approached with such a myriad of flavors, textures, and ideas they may sound odd but end up so amazing. Like this is a place where you add braised greens to your dish to be an adult and you end up fighting over your share plate for the greens because they are so unbelievably yummy. So obviously. Overall a great place for a drink or 3, a date, a small cheese bite, or full on dinner. Great ambiance. Great food. Great people. Great drinks. Just can’t miss here.

I love Bellingham, so perhaps everything I write about Bellingham glows. Yet, after avoiding Seattle bars because of the closeness of the outdoor seating,...

Each time I visit my sister in Bellingham, we go to Temple Bar for tasty cocktails and some happy hour snacks. I most heartily recommend Burn After Reading...
