We came in for the first time today and really enjoyed everything at The Racket. The staff were friendly, the service was quick, and the food was amazing! Having truly vegan options made me feel safe to order (I have food allergies). My omni partner really enjoyed his Philly Max and I will be counting the days until I can have another Falafel Sandwich. The bonus pinball level made this a complete spot for date night!

Wow I was very very surprised how good the food was here. I was brought here by friends and was assuming divebar food but I was wrong! First, the Spicy thai fries with garlic and vegan cheese fries were AMAZING! I’m not vegan but I might be for these fries! The Philly cheese steak was really good too. I love the pinball artwork and of course the actual pinball games. They have all these concert posters up which are realy cool. I highly recommend this place for the food!

This is seriously a great space for a company outing, date night, or afternoon/evening activity with friends!
They have 14 different pinball machines (all maintained by the Bellingham Pinball Collective) with various movie and video game themes, and are such a blast to play!
Plus, they’ve got great food and drinks to enjoy either standalone, or while you’re pin-balling upstairs. We had a blast here and 1,000% recommend it to everyone else in town.

Stopped by for a couple drinks. The bartender was really nice and the drinks were great. Love the low lighting and atmosphere. I’ll have to try the cheesesteak next time I come in.

A wicked, dimly lit bar with amazing service, gyro, falafel platters, and a great selection of nacho fries (vegan options!). They have pinball upstairs, play incredible music, have deconstructed pinball table lights as decor. The walls are plastered with pinball schematics, and band posters from bands who play at their venue next door. Making a trip back to Bellingham just to come back and see a show (or seven).

Such an awesome pinball dive bar. Falafel is ridiculously good, not to mention the cheesesteak. Tasty beers and a plethora of cocktails with house-infused liquors. Often able to unwind to the sweet sounds of metal or other heavy tunes. One of my favorite memories was going on an off-time and eating at the bar while the bartender and I watched and kept quoting The Addams Family, which was playing. And the pinball? Damn right it’s fun! This is just a great spot to relax and enjoy a little escape from life.

This bar is awesome! The food here is so good. Many vegan options as well. The Greek fries are amazing, and the Thai sauce goes well with them. Most of the bar tenders here are really great. However one girl gave me wrong change( not sure if she was trying steal some money or just made a mistake) and when I let her know she had a terrible attitude. Everyone else I’ve met there are very professional and cool! You can substitute fries for tater tots too, definitely recommend this spot. And they have pinball machines.

Love this place. Great service, lots of pinball, and it’s nice that the bar area is downstairs, pinball upstairs. Fourteen pinball machines. Sometimes the bar is busy and pinball is empty, sometimes vice versa. I would say they could clean the glass a little more, but I come here all the time anyways. Crystal (sp?) Is the best!
