Fairhaven Pub

Probably the best happy hour on the southside of town. Great deals on pitchers and burgers, etc. I've always had friendly service too. On nights where they have shows, the cover can be a little high for Bellingham though. Pros: good happy hour Cons: sometimes high cover charge more

The bouncer at this pub took my girlfriend's ID away stating that it ""didn't look like her"". She was given tests, including a signature test, and passed with flying colors like she ought to. The bouncer's demeanor was extremely disrespectful and condescending, and stated that the only evidence that he would accept for proof of the ID belonging to my girlfriend, is her passport. Unfortunately my girlfriend's family immigrated to America when she was young and are not yet citizens...meaning she DOESN'T HAVE ONE! She spent 20 dollars to replace her ID and didn't even get a drink....what a shame. I understand taking someone's ID but the fact is that the bouncer was extremely rude and that is what's going to stop me from ever stepping foot through their door. Cons: Awful, rude, and disrespectful service more
