Beach Cat Brewing Company’s opening of its waterfront Bellingham location is the latest in a series of Blaine and Birch Bay businesses opening second locations in Bellingham.
Beach Cat is expected to open its second brewery, its “South Paw” location, at 11 a.m. Thursday, May 29 in Bellingham. The brewery is at 1100 C Street, across Whatcom Creek from Waypoint Park and the Acid Ball.
The brewery will have live music, stand-up comedy and food trucks, including JT’s Smokin BBQ and Lumpia Luv. Its new location has expanded its beer production.
Beach Cat Brewing’s Birch Bay location, 7876 Birch Bay Drive, suite 101, will remain open.
Bordertown Mexican Grill and Namaste The Royal Taste of India have also recently opened locations in downtown Bellingham.
Bordertown held its grand opening on March 22 at 1055 N. State Street in Bellingham. With both a large indoor space and patio seating, the restaurant expanded significantly from its dine-out only restaurant in Blaine, at 538 Peace Portal Drive. The restaurant serves tacos, burritos, tortas and other Mexican staples.
Namaste began serving Bellingham residents about a year after opening its first restaurant, at 234 D Street in Blaine. The second location opened in late December 2024 at 1213 Cornwall Ave., serving an assortment of dishes from masalas to curries.
