Steps We Are Taking
To Keep You Safe

Horseshoe Cafe & Bar COVID-19 Update:

We are still here for you! But, a bit differently.

Per the Governor's updated guidance and regulations for restaurants and bars, we will be operating a bit different moving forward. Thank you for your understanding throughout these uncertain times!

Starting Thursday, July 30th we will implement:
-> Temporary COVID-19 hours of 10am-10pm, daily.
-> Indoor dining will be limited to same household members only.
-> A bit of a reduced menu, but don't worry - we are still serving up the classics.
-> The Ranch Room Bar will close; however, we are still able to serve you beer, cocktails, daily specials & happy hour in the cafe.

For the safety of our crew, we will continue to ask that you wear your masks at all times unless you are eating and drinking. On a personal note, thank you for being understanding, wearing your masks, respecting social distancing, and being all-around amazing guests.

Let's be real, we wouldn't want to do 2020 without you.

- The 'Shoe

We take health & safety seriously. In order to offer safe service, these are just some of the steps we are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and maintain the health of our customers and employees:

-> Staff will be wearing face masks, washing hands frequently & disinfecting high touch surfaces often.
-> We will be practicing social distancing of at least 6ft.
-> Pens and receipt clipboards are sanitized after every use.
-> We have removed table tents & condiment baskets from the tables and are bringing these out on request only. After each use they are thoroughly sanitized.
-> Tables are not pre-set. Silverware is pre-rolled with gloves on and brought out to customers as they sit.
-> Bathrooms and high touch surfaces are sanitized often throughout every shift
-> We have provided hand sanitizer at our entrance for customers.
-> We have closed tables, removed bar stools, and spaced out seating to encourage social distancing.
-> Any staff member exhibiting symptoms of illness will be sent home for 7 days and until they are symptom-free for at least 3 days.
-> We have designated a separate area in our dining room for takeout food so that we can better adhere to social distancing guidelines.
-> We will be running a small crew so that there are never too many people in the building, we can safely practice social distancing, and we will send anyone home who exhibits any symptoms.
We are working hard to make sure that we will be able to operate safely and responsibly during these uncertain times. If you have other suggestions on steps we can take to ensure everyone’s safety, we would love to hear them and encourage you to reach out to us!

History Surrounds the Horseshoe Cafe & Bar.

The oldest continuously operating cafe & cocktail lounge in Washington, the Horseshoe Cafe has been a part of the Bellingham community since 1886. Learn more about the history of Bellingham and how the 'shoe came to be in the timeline below.

1850-1859

Settlers were drawn to Bellingham by new jobs in logging, coal-mining, and the fishing industries. A few towns were established: Whatcom in 1852, Fairhaven & Bellingham in 1853, and Sehome in 1854.

1858

The Fraser Canyon Gold Rush brought thousands of miners, storekeepers, and scalawags north from California. Whatcom county was a basecamp for miners entering the Fraser Canyon goldfields.

1918

Bellingham was transformed by the Great Depression, as citizens of Whatcom County developed new family relationships and social roles to cope with economic hardships.

Times have changed, but the layout remains. The wallpaper seen in the photo can still be found above the ceiling in the current building.

This picture was an inspiration for the 2015 remodel. The open kitchen and drop down hood really makes the kitchen feel a part of the diner.
