The Orion - Bellingham

So much fun! Drinks are reasonable! I really enjoyed playing some board games while hanging out!

Dark, chill environment. Small but nice little place with good drink options.

Came here with a group of 10+ after a wedding and The Orion was exactly what we needed to keep the party going! The decor was fun, we took up the tables in the space themed room for a private party feel. There main room had wooden tables that had a vintage school vibe great for smaller groups or couples. There's plenty of street parking but the stairs leading up to The Orion does make it less accessible to some folks. The night I came here, I only took shots that the best man of the wedding party bought for everyone so not much to review there. The prices of their cocktails were a few dollars off from being cheap at $7 9. I did have a sip of the cucumber cocktail and the cucumber taste was very strong I liked it! I was really surprised by the food options here! Without the food at The Orion, who knows what my hangover after a weekend of wedding drinking would've been?! They have various hot dogs, including vegan options! I got the trash dog and it is every drunk person's dream dog. They also had toppings to customize your dog relish, mustards (all different types! , onions, ketchup, etc. The ratio of hotdog to bun was bread heavy and they had a water jug right next to the front door greats points for the Orion on balancing out the negative affects of alcohol. The night we came in was a Sunday and the bartender was a one man show. He checked IDs, made food and drinks! Service was a little slow because of that, but overall a great experience at The Orion!

I went during a weekday for dinner and got their double burger and their Orion cocktail. Both were good and reasonably priced. There burgers are somewhere between average burger size and slider size, but for the price that's pretty reasonable. The majority of the cocktails are under $10 and the mixtures sounded interesting so I'll have to come back and try some of the other options. There was some other people there, but still plenty of space, the bar theme is pretty cool, and the atmosphere was nice. The bartender was also pretty friendly. In general a really good experience, will be back, would reccomend.

Terrible service. Never go here. Brought my Nevada non-real ID and they refused to serve me since it didn 't have the little star on it for real ID purposes. Tried explaining what a real ID was but the lady at the bar wasn 't educated enough to understand what a real ID was even after researching herself. The interior also looks nothing like the photos online and the bathroom was a wreck. Don 't waste your time. Wish I could leave less than one star.
