If it's Mexican food you want, this is the place. Near Maritime Heritage Park downtown and on the waterfront, you can even get some deck time and watch the waterfront activities. Great happy hour and margaritas. Nachos are huge, so watch out!

Meat pasties baby! They are nothing short of wonderful. Locally-sourced, impeccable taste, and hearty. Split one and have a soup or salad or eat the whole thing. Don't forget Holly's cookies and tarts and Ty's special sauce. They are as good as they come. Good to Go also has a Lynden location and can be found at the Bellingham Farmer's Market on Saturdays.

Not really a restaurant, more like an icon for your old-time corner store with a little bit of everything. The cheeses, smoked meats, and sandwiches will leave you wanting more. Lots of inner-tubers come through the valley in summer and make a stop here.

One of the best places in town for music. Just go... if you like to dance, have a few drinks, and enjoy the local hangout. They often do early shows and late shows. Cover required for both.

Hard to describe, Elizabeth Station has over 1.000 choices on drinks or cider and beer on tap. Great outdoor seating and the vibe is friendly and cozy. They have food too and often a food truck is parked outside. Extra tip: if you like coffee, Primer next door is San Francisco style coffee at its best.
