Local pours with perks
Craft beer garden
In Bellingham, great beer is a given. What matters more is where it leads. Local brews, ciders and kombuchas are on tap, with a portion of proceeds supporting the community that makes this place what it is.
Community through collaboration
Arts & culture
Bikes and music bring the community together, but it’s art deepens it. Tune-Up is an open-air gallery for local artists, creating live works inspired by the landscape and creative spirit of the PNW.
