Penny Farthing Bar & Restaurant

I just had an excellent lunch. My friend and I decided to try Penny Farthing for the first time. It was about 12:30pm and we were the only customers. We were greeted promptly by a smiling waitperson and invited to sit anywhere we wanted. The interior is indeed a distillery and consequently has some interesting hardware to look at. The space was comfortable and clean. Menus quickly appeared. We asked about several items and were offered detailed descriptions and helpful comments. Both items we ordered were deemed, "delicious"!My Chicken Doneresque Sandwich was fresh and bursting with a symphony of flavors. It was very similar to a chicken gyro, but had many more vegetables (grilled corn, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, etc), feta cheese and a tasty white sauce. (tzatziki perhaps?) YUMMM. A table of six was soon seated near us. Their dishes looked great also. When I left, my tastebuds were still applauding. I will be back!

The drinks were mixed and served well, tasted great. Food was very good too. Slow 6 service was good, but could if been better. A good little place to go enjoy some booze and food. Kinda like an old speakeasy place.

Friendly staff, good food, good portions! Great Happy Hour Menu. I went on 6/19/24, server and bartender where exceptional and friendly!

Great food, great drinks and great service. Out of the 3 dishes we tried below, the Gnocchi Mac and cheese stole the show. Definitely a great place to check out if you're in town. The building itself is gorgeous on the inside as it has a unique industrial flare to it. Restaurant is attached to the Distillery.

This place is amazing! It has a cozy industrial feel and our server, Autumn, was so friendly. We enjoyed the Whiskey Queso Dip, Green Man's Garden Salad with Prawns and a white balsamic vinaigrette, and Dock Street Filet sliders. I had an Old Fashioned and my husband had their house made bourbon on the rocks. We will definitely be back!

Stopped by for lunch the other day. We were greeted warmly and sat outside to enjoy the nice spring weather. Since lunch was at a distillery I felt obligated to try one of their aged negroni blanc cocktails. It was a tasty spin on the classic negroni cocktail. The chambrey blanc vermouth added a nice floral note.My wife and I split the bourbon crab bisque and the chicken donner sandwich. Both were tasty and good eating. The bourbon bisque had a distinct bourbon flavor and lots of crab chunks. A slight spicy bite contrasted with the richness of the cream. The chicken donner sandwich is made with a large pita. It is stuffed with tasty sauce, tomatoes and other vegetables, and lots of chicken. Splitting the two dishes gave both of us a good amount of lunch. A tasty spot for a casual bite and a cocktail in downtown.

Server Alli was FANTASTIC! Really cool building with large windows to the distillery. Very happy with our food and cocktails.

Sat at the bar. Bartenders are friendly. Service was good. Ordered Ribs... they were about as dry as Sarah desert and barely warm. Mentioned it to the bartender... manager showed up but nothing was done. I guess they didn't take it very serious. Atmosphere is pleasant.

Love the decor!! The staff was super friendly. The food was reasonably priced and very delicious. The queso was so good it was something I could have drank, and the flatbread I had was so flavorful. Great asset to Bellingham!

I had heard great things about Penny Farthing Restaurant so I took a group there. First the good news...the facility is rather amazing with huge windows into the distillery that produces a large array of spirits. The service was excellent and the ambiance lively. I had made a reservation and they were ready for us with a nice long table. The server was gracious when we asked for separate checks. However, the food was underwhelming. One person reported no identifiable crab in the crab bisque, the pizzas were giant blobs of cheese and crust, the Caprese sandwich was tasty but diminutive, the chicken Caesar lettuce wraps were actually quite good, I wished I had ordered that. The Krampus sundaes looked good but the tiramisu, at $10, was served in a small plastic tube and looked like something from Costco. The drinks were adequate to delicious. The espresso martini was delicious. One dirty martini didn't seem to be dirty, my martini, at $13, was made with a sweet vodka which I didn't expect and I almost spit it out. I like my martinis very dry! Overall, based on their reputation, I was expecting better.
