THE FAIRHAVEN; BELLINGHAM, WA
Karaoke in Old Town

By Melissa Reed

Visit the Fairhaven district for some sound appeal at the Fairhaven Pub & Martini Bar on Wednesday nights for karaoke. The Fairhaven boasts a large room for your party to sing all night. They have seating that will accommodate even the largest crowd, a large, updated songbook, and surrounding speakers for the performer and the audience.

The Fairhaven is set up with professional quality sound for live bands, karaoke and more, so make sure you check out this location for a great singing experience! Karaoke on Wednesday night was full of great singers, people dancing, and a friendly bartender named Scott. I was greeted by Scott and he explained how the regular karaoke shows usually work out. He told me that I had stopped by on a slow night. Slow? Incredible! There were easily 20 people in the rotation at any one given time, and I didn’t hear a song that I couldn’t at least tap my feet to. The regulars were helpful, aiding in some of the best audience participation songs and dancing to their favorites.

It was nice to see what a casual environment it was and how friendly everyone was there, including the host, DJ C. Moose, who was covering for the regular host, DJ BamBam, and the bar staff. I felt very welcomed and was given plenty of information to make it a regular Wednesday night stop for sure. Great night guys, thank you!

I would be surprised if you couldn’t find a song in their selection of music, and didn’t like the sound. The sound system and stage were impressive; it gave all the singers an opportunity to feel what it’s like to perform live as the bands do at this location. Great drink specials and if you have a seat, the waitress Chelsea will be more than happy to provide excellent service with a smile! So make sure to check out The Fairhaven Pub & Martini Bar, 1114 Harris Ave, Bellingham, WA 98225 (Old Fairhaven district) 360-671-6745 on Wednesday for karaoke from 9pm-close. www.fairhavenpub.com
