Le Chat Noir

Le Chat Noir, otherwise known as The Black Cat, is the coziest spot for a happy hour date in all of Bellingham. It’s in Fairhaven, in the Marketplace building, red brick and up flights and flights of stairs, and if you sit by the window you can see a great view of Fairhaven, and if you’re lucky, like tonight, you might even see a sunset. The happy hour special I like best is a bottle of wine and cheese fondue for two for twenty bucks. Twenty bucks! So you can sit there for a couple of hours and eat and drink (where else can you get fondue in town?) and talk, and if you happen to be with a good friend, like I was tonight, there is pretty much nothing better in the world.
