The best prime rib I’ve had anywhere. I tried a bite of a steak too and it was over the top. It’s a real gem! The owners are very hard working and creative. I highly recommend it!… beer is great too.

Because we were late from traffic, the restaurant took our order and it was ready when we got there. The lamb dinner was great.

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.

Story

Dined on Dec 13, 2024

My husband and I share a birthday, so we went to the Admiralty to celebrate with our son. We arrived in time for Happy Hour and took advantage of the drink and bite specials. I ordered a Bee's Knees and parsnip chips and my husband ordered a Nameless One cocktail off the regular menu and and the jalepeno hush puppies . Both cocktails were delicious as were the starters. As a main, the three of us ordered the Imperial Swine, The Duck Breast, and the NY Strip Steak. Our orders came out in good time and all were cooked to perfection. Our server Chelsea did an excellent job and even provided a sweet Happy Birthday card to greet us for our special day. Overall, a great way to spend our birthday with our son.
