Paws For A Beer Dog park. Beer Garden. Dog Shop. Paws For a Beer is Bellingham's first and only dog-friendly tavern. Because this is all for them.
(487)

Here, dogs with memberships are able to roam freely off-leash inside and outside the premises while their owners and the general 21+ public sip on refreshing beverages. We are dedicated to improving the dog-based community by working with local positive-reinforcement dog trainers, networking with local dog rescue agencies to bring deserving dogs to deserving owners, and serve PNW beers, ciders, kombucha and wine. At Paws For a Beer, whether the dogs are on the couches or cruising around behind the bar, it's all good.

Ten years of off-leash dogs, cold b**r, and the best dogs in Fairhaven, on a hoodie. This one was designed by one of our own Paws customers, someone who has spent real time at the bar and knows what the place feels like. It's a limited, one-time print run.

Every hoodie is made to order from the pre-order, so we only print what's reserved. Order yours online and pick it up at Paws For A B**r around Halloween

Pre-order now, before October 16th. When the pre-order closes, so does the run.

Every Pumpkin Deserves a Good Porch.

No pumpkin left behind. Every pumpkin at Paws has a name and a personality, and they are all looking for a good home. Come meet the adoptables this weekend and find the perfect match for your porch -- and your dog.

ADOPT A PUMPKIN
Gerald -- 14 lbs. Round, unbothered, will not be walked.
Big Linda -- 31 lbs. Dignified. Takes up the whole back seat.
Lumpy -- 9 lbs. Warty, warm, and will win your heart anyway.

Does your dog have a pumpkin personality? Come find their match.

Pumpkins from $14. A pumpkin and a pint for $20. A pumpkin and two pints for $26. Order online or at the bar -- every pickup is a reason to come see the pack.

Tonight's Myra's last official shift behind the bar, and we're going to feel this one. Four years she's been here—through some mess, through the wins, through all of it—and she's been the kind of person you actually want showing up. Reliable, funny, always got a story that's worth your time. And Oona? Basically been a four-year residency at Paws, collecting admirers like other dogs collect tennis balls. If you've hung out with Myra, you've hung out with Oona. And tonight we're saying thank you.

Myra's heading out to her next adventure (she'll swing through to fill in now and then, so it's not forever), but tonight is a great night to come by, tell her what she's meant to this place, crack jokes with Oona, and grab a b**r. If you've got a favorite Myra memory, Belly up with our barktender, someone who actually makes Paws feel like Paws.
