We love Beckie. The sweetest bartender ever. I like to think of her as my other daughter. Rumors is amazing

Becky is a great bartender always smiling and polite to everyone.

This is a LGBTQ friendly bar. They have great customer service. Discounted drinks prior to 8pm. They have a dance floor that is crazy active. They are accepting of straight folks too. They have security to ensure civility.

This place is so wonderful, great staff, and fun events, and just a great crowd.

Great place to meet and have a few drinks with friends or meet new people. Nice bar staff and great prices, If you are looking for a fun place to dance or have a drink, this place is it!!!!!!

This place used to be great but it’s not anymore. They claim inclusivity and acceptance but they don’t practice it. Furthermore, they were extremely both dismissive and aggressive towards me and a friend earlier tonight and would not give the reason for kicking a friend out, and the manager literally ran away when we asked for the reason. It was extremely prejudiced and goes against the morals and foundations they say their institution is built on. I expected a lot better from them, hopefully they get it together.

I have enjoyed Rumors in the past but I have to leave a comment now because I no longer feel that it is a safe and inclusive place. Twice now I have been kicked out of Rumors for "dancing which makes me seem too drunk" or something like this. The first time I literally had one sip of my cocktail and the second time I had had two tequila shots. In neither case was I belligerently drunk, stumbling, shouting, etc. In both cases I was dancing freely, using my whole body, which is the way I dance. I wasn't bumping into other people, I was dancing with friends who know me and who were comfortable with my dance style... I don't grind against a partner, or stand and move my feet to the beat, I dance exuberantly. And this has become a problem for Rumors in the past 4-5 years it seems. I know that I danced like this in the years before that and was never kicked out but now this kind of dance policing seems to be the M.O. at Rumors. There are no breathalyzers given, there is no hard proof that I have been over served. It honestly makes me feel very targeted. I feel like Rumors isn't a place where a person can be themselves, much as it seems to want to be that place. I hope the management will think about this practice and consider whether it is actually marginalizing people. Perhaps, if they still stand by this policy, they can put a sign on the door which says "no wild dancing allowed", or something. I can't see myself coming back as I don't think I can suddenly become a more "conventional" dancer. It's weird. I hope they can do better.

Rumors is THE spot for fun no matter who you are. Beckie is AMAZING! Love that happy hour- BEST in town! 2$ wells?? Um yes plz. Staff is always professional and the location is conveinent if you wanna bar hop. Be sure to stop by, play a game of pool, load up that jukebox, or stay awhile and dance into the night! Lez get it!😊 Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie Beckie

Rumors is my absolute favorite bar. Happy hour is every single day from 4-8 with $2 drinks!! There are pool tables, and a jukebox so I can pick my own music before the DJ starts up. The dance floor is the amazing. Best place to dance in town for sure!!! Such welcoming vibes and very friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!!

Rumors cabaret is the nicest, cleanest bar/club I've been to! Been attending this bar for at least four years and still enjoying the peace here. The bartender Becky is the bomb when it comes to getting drinks made and talking to. I would recommend it 110%!

A bar for everyone, great drinks & prices, wonderful staff and events all the time

Been coming to Rumors for years and the new owners have really cleaned it up! My friends and I recommend Rumors for dancing Friday and Saturday and they even have great drag shows throughout the week. Also, the door people do a wonderful job jeeping this place friendly and safe.

Really cool split nightclub/lounge with awesome vibe and presentation. Staff is very friendly and on top of cleanup. As a former bartender I must say that your drinks need work though. The long island tasted anything but... and sweetened lime juice syrup is not a margarita ingredient. I'll keep trying, I enjoy dancing here!

They kicked my girlfriend out and wouldn't even tell her why. They waited outside the bathroom stall for her. They put hands on her and physically dragged her out, she asked several times for them not to touch her and stated she would walk out on her own. Very rude employees. If you're going to bounce someone, at the very least tell them why. We’ll never be coming back. All we did was dance and have fun after buying one shot.

Great place for music, dancing, karaoke, and drinks! Dress casual (except for Fetish Nights!) Wear non-slip shoes due to slippery floors. Dive atmosphere. The employees are awesome. ☺

Will no longer be coming to Rumors because of several incidents of friends feeling unsafe and management not responding properly/brushing them aside. My friend literally got permanently banned for leaving a negative review after she was drugged and management insinuated it was entirely her fault and guilted her because they watched the tapes. We were truly just trying to let them know what happened and were treated really disrespectfully. Not the way to treat customers or do business.

A great bar! Amazing drag shows three days a week, all with amazing artists ❤️ (Every Show is unique in their own ways check them out) Also best happy hour in town! 4-8 everyday, and the staff is amazing ❤️

Fun time had by all! Drinks were good and bar keeper was fast and friendly.

We went to a really fun drag show on Sunday night. The show has no cover, the drinks are good and cheap (though I'm used to Boston pricing) and the queens put on a great show! I would come again

I genuinely dislike bars, and yet somehow I've had an incredible time every time I've been here. I suck at karaoke and dance like perhaps my lineage has been tainted by some kind of creature lacking an endoskeleton, and yet whenever I'm here, good things happen to me. Rumors is a special place, and must be protected at all costs.

I have lived in Bellingham my whole life and rumors has always had a good reputation. However, the other night I have become aware that it has changed. The employee at the door openly mocked my friends and I for asking why they were requiring facial identifications. The other employee, who may have actually been the owner, spoke to us briefly about it then walked away. I have never been treated so poorly at any establishment. They made me feel like I am unwelcome in my own home. They do not deserve to be in business. Do not go there.

I don’t hate small business and I certainly don’t hate the community. I was treated poorly by management after my group spent over $150 there. A business owner responding to me in this way is despicable. Will never be returning.

This is my favorite place to dance in Bellingham, I’ve never had a bad time here. The staff is lovely and does a wonderful job making sure people are safe! The drag show is always incredible, make sure to bring money to tip them :)

Great bar but unfortunately, the servers are incredibly rude. I was kicked out of the bar for simply asking if I could buy another shot to put in my drink. The bartender immediately freaked out and accused me of “telling them how to do there job”. Very sad because it’s a great place but the staff is atrocious.

I like the way it sounds and feels in there but sometimes the music would switch too fast or it would have a tune progression that was awkward. On other nights they will play full songs, definitely reccomend checking it out if you're queer. There are men in suits watching us from the corners every time but what do you expect from a bumping gay bar. We're hot.

Great place to go out clubbing

Was kicked out of rumors without any explanation. While waiting outside for friends I asked a different bouncer why I was kicked out out. They said I would not have been removed me if were up to them based on the conversation we were having, but had to back their staff member. In my opinion they saw one of the tallest people in there and removed me because it was overcrowded. I have been in situations where I would agree it would be appropriate to be removed from a bar but in this instance there was absolutely no reason to be, compared to the people around.

Best bar in Bellingham

I loved my experience at Rumors! My first experience at a LGBTQ Bar and it was absolutely wonderful! The staff was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was just so great to be in. Definitely will be back and Definitely recommend! I LOVED the drag shows(also my first drag show ever)!!! If you get the chance, please check them out, you will not be disappointed!

My best friend and I went here for our first clubbing experience and had a blast! We will definitely be back again!

They are just reopening as a Restaurant so they can see their patrons again. The staff is taking every precaution to keep their patrons safe while they enjoy the space again.

Rumors is hands down my favorite club to visit in Bellingham. The environment is always friendly and they usually have good drink specials. The drag shows are always so full of energy and creativity. This is a regular spot for me and my friends.

Yeah so sad when they throw you out without telling you why . The bigger problem is they throw you without telling your date or your friends or they throw you out without your debit card or your coat. But...you'll be back next week be et thrown out and separated from new friends and new dates after spending more money then you will realize that it's you they don't like .... so stop wasting your money and time here .

Always a great experience here. Lovely staff, big dance floor, kind and inclusive. One and only complaint: the photo booth is too small.

If you aren’t here for Friday night’s drag show, you are seriously missing out! Tia Rikki and the crew bring a fun, new show every week that pops off with the best dance party in the city! Rumors is fun, affordable and a safe place for all. Whether you start or end your night here you won’t regret it!

Best place to drink in Bellingham IMHO. It's got nicer drinks so it's not like a Rainer and Jameson type place. If you are looking for like bartenders with expansive knowledge who are down to throw some voodoo together to fit your pallet this place is the spot.

I have been a regular at rumors for over 20 years they have the best Happy hour in Bellingham great vibe fun staff excellent music safe place to just go be you and have fun

It's really the only place in Bellingham to dance without caring if other people are watching. Feel free to let your freak flag fly!

My friends and I absolutely love how large the dance area is, as well as the Friday night drink specials. A safe space complete with all inclusive restrooms, great staff, and warm atmosphere

Love love love

Delicious and well-priced drinks, great atmosphere!

Bellingham's "alternative" club. You don't have to be gay to come here, but it helps.

Best DJ in town! Awesome bar. Only accepts cash, though.

Name says it all but great spot to let life loose...

The drinks aren't great but the dancing is! Wish they would've kept the air hockey table..

One of my favorite bars in town. Friendly staff, great atmosphere, very welcoming. Love the events!

The go to spot if you're looking for the best of what Bellingham's night life has to offer! This place is welcoming and inclusive of people from all walks of life! Drag shows three nights a week, kareoke, dancing, and much more!

Service was good, but that was about it.

Not accepting of everyone. Was treated rudely. Expected more from a place in Bellingham.

Loved the music pre-show but was not impressed with the show.

Always fun to dance here. The ratio of guest to bouncers is perfect enough to ake one feel safe!

Great seupt and location, however I'd like them to play more daring and unique music, playing 2000s and early 2010s is fine, but not every night, they need more diversity. (Ironic given their brand)

I always have such a blast at this place! Great drag shows!

The service was great, but the ambiance was lacking.

My friend is HARD OF HEARING and the employee said he was “too intoxicated” to enter, because he could not hear what they saying to him and he asked for clarification. His girlfriend proceeded to inform the employee of this and she was extremely unprofessional. He even took out his hearing aids to show her. I called the club immediately and all the person said was monotone “sorry”. I am greatly offended and I thought that this Bellingham club would be more inclusive to the deaf community. I will not recommend this establishment to anyone and will never be coming back.

I always have a fun time here, dancing and meeting new people, but it’s less one star due to the fact that my friend was kicked out for appearing confused. She wasn’t even allowed to grab her purse or jacket. Turned out she was roofied. Not okay. If you are going to kick someone out, please let them grab their personal effects! So not cool!

Had a greeaaat time, the place was perfect for taking some photos to help promote my partners Instagram.

Usually a great place to meet and super inclusive but tn me and 3 friends were touched and circled on the dance floor. The people were warned but not kicked out. Very disappointed tn:(

Best bar in town. Friendliest staff ( Wahoo Becky !!!) Drinks are far superior to other bars and clubs with best prices.

Cold in here. Stopping by to see what’s going on. No dogs allowed earlier in the night :-( Update I forgot to say how awesome the bartender was

I enjoy the bartenders and Jell-O shots but every time I go it is either so packed you cannot even dance or so empty that it feel strange to dance. Also there are no locks on the restroom stall doors?

The drinks are always great and DJ Clint is the best!

Karaoke on Mondays!
