Stopped in around 2 PM for late lunch and was pleasantly surprised.We were greeted with a large, open, spotless dining area with comfortable wooded tables that nicely seat 4 . Soft music was playing which we found soothing and added to a relaxing dining experience.The menu is varied and includes curries, salads, burgers and more.Our Traditional Burger was so big we could have split it. It was perfectly seasoned and had a slight hint of smoke. Regular fries were included and were cooked just right. We also ordered the Red Thai curry which was delicious; it was full of flavor, spicy, and came with a cup of white rice.Expect Large portions, so you wonât go away hungry.The dining area is separated from the âbarâ, so kids can be served. All are welcomed. Servers very kind and attentive. We will be back!

What a surprise! What a great concept. We went here in search of a specific miro from Oregon thinking this was a beer store. Well, it's not just a beer store to our happy surprise. Although the selection of beer and cider is huge, they also have a tap room with many choices (we didn't count). We didn't find what we were looking for but did find a lot of interesting choices from which we did buy two different IPAs. It turns out, they'll open & pour so we could sit at a table and try them right there on the spot. What a great way to try a new beer without gambling on buying 6 and not knowing if we'll like it. We'll go back to try some of the tap selections next time and maybe even try the food truck outside. It looked like it had a tasty selection of menu items. For those who'd prefer a coffee, there's a coffee place in the same building.

The food was maybe a little above average but we had efficient and friendly service and enjoyed the variety of games they had and decent beer selection. Pints were $5.50 which is a fair price. Reuben and Harissa burger pretty good. salads and chowder so-so. We were there mid-week for late lunch and place not very crowded

We've been here many times in the past and always enjoyed it. We ordered the chicken natchos and received a reasonable sized platter. We couldn't see any chicken though and as we had paid an extra $4-5 for them, we asked if they had been forgotten.We were told that yes, there was 4oz of chicken on the plate, even though we couldn't see it. We both thought that there may have been some chicken in there after we had finished. The waitress must have picked up our disappointment for as soon as we were finished our natchos, we were given the bill. No "anything else I can get for you" or "another beer?" We were going to order another pitcher of beer, but we were clearly not welcome for asking a simple question, so we left!

A favourite lunch choice when we visit Bellingham. Usually go for their excellent burgers but tried sandwiches for a change. They come with a choice of side salad, seasonal roasted veggies, potato chips or potato wedges. We opted for the Grilled Portabella Sandwich (with the roasted veggies) and the Meatloaf Sandwich (with wedges). Large sandwiches on toasted bread with lots of flavour. The roasted veggies were better than the wedges. Also tried cider the on tap ($6). Good flavour slightly off dry. A very filling and satisfying lunch. Total for food, drinks and taxes was $42.39.

Always something delicious to eat on the menu. The shrimp po' boy sandwich is my go to (it'd be even better with pickles!). Our server was very nice and cheerful, did a great job managing a busy Friday night. The reason I only gave 4 stars was the Bar isn't the best. Weak mixed drinks, not much of a wine selection. Otherwise, a great place to go with people from out of town.

Wander is one of those out of the way places in Bellingham that brews eclectic ales and has a wonderfully congenial atmosphere, if one just wants to chill. Food trucks provide a steady stream of goodies that pair well with the ales. Shoetoss Rye IPA is a perennial favorite.

We just came from a family birthday party for my 21 year old grandson. This is a very casual restaurant and they were very accomodationg and put four table together to seat all 11 of us. They also gave us seperate checks with no hassel. They also did not add automatic gratuity because we were a large party. Just about everyone ordered something different. The nachos for a starter were very good and very diffferent from any other nachos I've had. Loved the pickeled red onions. My grandson loved the beer pretzels. I had the clam chowder and it was wonderful - lots of clams. My husband had the Caribbean Clams and said they were delicious. My daughter gave me a bite of her Reuben sandwich and it was one of the best I've ever had. Another in out party ordered a gluten free Bacon and Tomato sandwich. She said the bun was so good it couldn't be gluten free. She asked the waitress and was told that it really was gluten free and comes from a local bakery. Two in our party had the salmon and said it was very good. My son in law had the schnitzel and said it was delicious. Everything came out hot - Yeah! Our waitress was very attentive. I can only say good things about this place and look froward to going back even though it's over an hour from home.

During our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend we had the pleasure of introducing family members who were not familiar with Bellingham to places that we love. Naturally we had to take them to the Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro. As ever the food and beverages (this time during their Happy Hour) did not disappoint!

When available we often choose to sit at the bar for food service - place was packed with a big wait - no wait at the bar. Traveling through town on vacation and choose Asian Brewing because of Trip Advisor recommendations - good choice. Bison burger was â best burger I ever hadâ from husband - I had the grilled cheese and tomato soup and I have to say it was â one of the best grilled cheese â I ever had - and the tomato soup was spicy and good! Service at the bar was excellent - everyone working in the restaurant were working as a team - you could tell they all liked what they were doing and doing it well. Highly recommend Asian - choose here over Boundary Bay Brewing!
