The BEST Italian restaurant I’ve experienced in Washington state! The serving sizes were enough to feed two people so plan for left overs! The Tiramisu was decadent and smooth without the over powering of coffee! ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!

The Admiralty Lounge

Bellingham

About the restaurant

The Admiralty Lounge is a 21+ restaurant and lounge, offering inventive cuisine inspired by old Naval passages and Trade Routes. Our aesthetic and menu take a healthy inspiration from both the Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brien as well as Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, backed by exceptional cocktails, beer, wine and more with spirited and non-alcoholic options for everyone.

Delicious comfort food like Fish & Chips arrive along side re-imaginings of traditional naval meals, such as our Imperial Swine. House Smoked Oysters, Devilled Eggs, and our Caesar Salad make way for locally harvested mussels and grass-fed steak while those seeking lighter fare may find their way to robust salads, or vegetarian offerings such as our seasonal Harvest Plate.

Located next to Bellingham's iconic Mount Baker Theater, The Admiralty is perfect for an after work happy hour downtown, an inspiring meal before a show, or a late night drink with your closest friends.

The crab Mac and cheese is always very good. However, I only gave the dish four stars because there are always a few stray pieces of crab shell that will break your teeth if you’re not careful. Just an FYI

It's turning into our favorite place. The menu is well curated to appeal to many tastes without being too long and trying to cover every single base. The food has always been top shelf, cocktails well made, and the staff is warm and welcoming.
