Wander Ale House

Bellingham


One of Bellingham's most ambitious brewpubs, this place is in a strange location behind an industrial building that gives it secret-spot appeal. Hang out at brewing-vat-side seating or outside. There's a rotation of food carts serving excellent, cheap food, and the beer is some of the tastiest in town (we love the Shoe Toss IPA). Dog-friendly.
