Matthews Honest Cocktails 132 East Holly Street, Bellingham, WA 98225

"This place is stellar! The wonderful bar, the welcoming atmosphere, the bartender. It is a great place to relax and unwind after a busy day or a day of doing nothing at all."

"Great place for a cocktail. Good location and atmosphere. Not the best if you are looking for food or dinner, it's more of a cocktail bar with snacks and appetizer options. The quality was very good though for the options they had."

"We had a great experience here on a Saturday night. It was busy, but we found a table for 2 quickly. Our waiter was really kind and knowledgeable, and brought us one of the best espresso martinis that we’ve ever had. One of the weekly specials was the Maid Marion which was also amazing. All of the staff members were bubbly and very helpful! The drinks are priced similarly to drinks a nice restaurant, but I think they are better than they would be at most restaurants :)"

"Best cocktail I’ve had in a while. Gem of a place. Austin was welcoming and made me a great drink. Recommend the “Spa Day” cocktail what an excellent find. Recommend ."

"Absolutely incredible experience! First of all the staff was amazing. They were hardworking, engaged, passionate and genuinely warm and interested. They work as a team so every bartender checked in with me, each taking orders and making drinks so you never have to wait for your specific server to be available. They engage with you in a genuine way. I wouldn't even call them bartenders but rather cocktail artists. They treat each drink like a piece of art as they build it and it shows in the way the drinks taste! Every bartender did everything from washing dishes to welcoming people in the door. It was prefect coordination that should be the envy of every bar or restaurant. The drinks were phenomenal. I had the Naughty Apple first which was a delightful treat. Often times I shy away from Apple drinks because they end up too sour or too sweet. This was perfectly balanced such that the cinnamon and lemon could play with your tastebuds while riding on a fluffy carpet of egg white. For my second drink I had Matthew's Mojito. I would say this mojito was the best I've ever had. It was so perfectly balanced that I fell in love with the succulent bubbles of carbonation tickling my tongue. All of the above was done in a clean and relaxing environment with great color and ambiance. This is truly what a bar experience should be. They've nailed it!"
