Waterfront Seafood & Bar

You know me, I love a dive; and this one's a beauty. Known locally for a darn good fish sandwich and honestly-priced taps, (and internationally, as a bar that's played host to more serial killers over the decades than maybe any other!) Waterfront's got it where it counts. No-bull service, good food, classic dive atmosphere with fun retro music, pull tabs, pool table, and local color. If you love a dive like I love a dive...I might meet you there, next time you're up B-ham way! Get your butt in here. Recommended!

Excellent fish and chips and clam chowder. Friendly servers. Pay at the counter after eating.

Get the worse seafood than if you were in Kazakhstan. Tiny portions. Not made there. That crap is just Shamrock or Cisco frozen truck crap. And small portions for the price. The fries are limp and taste like the weird part of the inside of a fresh potato skin when it arrives at the table. More importantly, there is an option to tip on the check. Traditionally, tipping is for table service. There is no table service. Go to the bar and ask for a menu and beer. Sit down, no one shows up to take the order, then 30 minutes later, go to the other counter, order your nasty over priced crap from the unfriendly help behind the counter, then ask for a beer, then she says to go to the bar, wait at bar for warm beer, remind them that you have a table. Take your beer to table and eat food. Then when the food makes you sick, get up and go to the bar, tell them everything you ordered, skip the tip option and leave. Then speed home to the bathroom as fast as you can. The coleslaw was clearly not made in-house but seemed somewhat average. No complaints there. Loved the atmosphere! Salmon were swimming outside the window and sea-lions hunting them. Great vibe. Shit food. No service. Go there for warm beer and cool people. Good looking seafood outside the window, commercial frozen and rubbery crap on the menu.

I've been up in Bellingham for the last 4 months on a job...Eaten here at least once a week while I've been here...The last 3 times have been terrible...Seafood wasn't very fresh at all and the portions have been halved...the absolute last time the Cole Slaw as well was bad...as in old/spoiled/inedible...It pains me to write this because I loved this place :-(

Had the best experience here! Chayce the bartender was so sweet and made us delicious cocktails. I'll definitely be back!

Finally a great seafood restaurant in Bellingham. This sophisticated and upscale seafood bistro/tavern has fantastic ambience and friendly service. The food was easily the best seafood we've had in Bellingham. Be sure to dress up and bring your appetite. I had the captain's platter and it did not disappoint. Waterfront is an ideal seafood experience for the whole family.

Not a fan. Bad service, bad food. Really wanted tolike this bar but unfortunately couldn't. Been here a couple of times but the staff is just really rude

Awful fish and chips. Saltless, from freezer, and the kitchen was just disgusting. I can't believe they even let you have a view of it. The bar seems cool and the bartenders were nice. But man I have never seen a grosser place where food was cooked. May god have mercy on this place.

The worst fish n chips I've ever eaten. it tastes like they haven't changed the oil in years . I ordered same a year ago they haven't changed .

Stay away. FAR away. This place is so full of themselves they have no time to actually serve you a drink and insults paying customers. The so called bar tenders only seem to have time to play with their phones and can't be bothered to serve over priced drinks. First time and last time i've been and will ever be. The young blonde Ally or Holly or whatever was especially rude and made me wonder "why are you even her if you hate us so much ?" and could not put her phone down to look at you and actually ask "what would you like to drink ?" It's a bar right ?? Horrible. Insulting. Hated it.Walked out. Will Never go back and am warning people away. Plenty of other bars in town On the positive side they saved me about 40 bux because we walked out and went elsewhere and had a pleasant evening after this disaster.
