Star Karaoke at Bellingham Bar and Grill

By Alycia Schmidt

Join friends at the Bellingham Bar and Grill for awesome karaoke, hosted by Shelby, of Star Entertainment Karaoke.  Shelby’s karaoke show runs every Monday night from 9:30pm until 1:30am.

The Bellingham Bar and Grill is easy to find. It’s right off Cornwall in downtown Bellingham, and is bustling with nocturnal activity.

The lounge area features abundant seating and tables for everyone, plus the game room has tables and chairs also.

The lighting at the Bellingham Bar and Grill is very, very relaxing, welcoming you the moment you step in the door. It is exceptionally clean, including the bathrooms.

Moe, the bartender, greets you with a smile almost instantly. Even the cook, while cleaning up the kitchen, smiles randomly at guests as he walks by.

The full-service bar separates the game room from the lounge. The game room consists of three TVs, seven pool tables, and two dart boards, and is very well lit.

If pool isn’t your forte, there is shuffleboard and electronic dart boards, not to mention, four additional TVs in the lounge area.

The Bellingham Bar and Grill is open to minors until 9pm. After that, they card everyone.

Star Entertainment’s karaoke system is professional quality, and the songbook has around 8,000 songs to choose from, including the Oldies, Soul, Pop, Rock, and Heavy Metal.

You’ll enjoy plenty of non-traditional karaoke songs being sung throughout the evening, which can be refreshing.

Shelby’s sound is clean and crisp, not too loud, but not too quiet either – very well balanced.

On one particular night, not long ago, Shelby was celebrating her birthday. The regulars were giving her hugs and birthday wishes. The first rotation was only about three people long. It finally picked up around 10:30pm, and from then on it was packed. The host sang a song with each rotation, which averaged about ten people now.

Overall, the atmosphere The Bellingham Bar & Grill is nice and relaxing, and fun. Because the bar is so long, it’s never too crowded to find your way from one end to the other.
