This place is rather unassuming from the outside and, looking in, reminds you of all the dives you’ve been too. Except, they set themselves apart for a number of reasons.
First, their service is fantastic! The bartender was patient and happy to help my family and I. He knew the menu and offered up great suggestions. When the food was ready another fine gentleman ran it out to us and asked if we needed anything. Yet another guy came out and checked on us a little later as well.
The food was actually very good. The fries were perfectly breaded and cooked and had a great texture and flavor. The burgers were moist and generously topped and very flavorful. The fish and chips was a little pricey for the amount of fish you get, but it was still delicious to eat and thankfully the fries are filling. Finally, the onion rings are large and delectable. The drinks were also a good size and they weren’t watered down or too overpowering, yet generously poured.
And lastly, the location itself. Situated across the street from the beech in the sleep town of Birch Bay this spot has an amazing outdoor patio with ample seating, corn hole, a stage, umbrellas, and a great view.
I recommend grabbing a beer next door at the new brewery that is actually attached before or after stopping in here as well, as it makes for a great day.

It is said that there will be a live performance from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and there will be a Karaoke stage after that. You can enjoy the performance and enjoy chatting with your friends at the outdoor table. The beer taste wasn’t that great, but it’s a place where the atmosphere makes people excited and a place where many people can dance and enjoy it
I recommend visiting at least once, and I ordered chicken wing for food, but it was not too bad

Entertaining and fun with many table games available to play. A friendly atmosphere, with great food, live music at times, and a dance floor, all beside the beach, similar to a tiki bar!

Incredible food, atmosphere music and crowd. I like all the food but my favorite is the steak on a stick that is served on a piece of garlic bread. We go here often make the drive from Bellingham. It’s worth it.

We visited The Beach several times during our 2020 summer in Birch Bay and always had a great night. Reasonable drink and food prices. Nice patio for sunset. Good live music many nights and a friendly crowd. It didn’t take long to feel like a local with bartenders knowing your names and drink orders. Thursday night trivia was one of the better trivia nights we’ve been to. Can’t wait to be back!

Fun to people watch and listen to Blind Fate! Enjoy how they have the room set up with the band and some open air spaces. The best Dive Bar around!

I love the vibe this little town has, all year round. There’s so much beauty for a smaller vicinity. There’s lots to do in Birch Bay, especially during spring and summer. The state park has a beautiful campground, there’s the water park, beaches, a candy shop, go carts, and lots more! It’s my favorite part of Whatcom County!

Great touristy kind of place in Birch Bay area, right on the water front. Fries were really good. Sat and watched the sunset during dinner time, very picturesque. My family would like to go back again to try a few more items on the menu that sounded tasty!
