These Container Village businesses are opening this month
Several business plan to reopen soon at The Portal Container Village entertainment hub at the heart of the redeveloping downtown Bellingham waterfront. The Waterfront Bike Park pump track is open now.
Sun-E-Land Bikes will be open for sales and rentals noon to 6 p.m. through Saturday, April 8, during schools’ spring break, then weekends only Sunday, April 9, through May, and daily in June.
Our Kitchen plans to open noon to 6 p.m. Friday, April 28, and noon to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 29. It will host an April Brews Day event 5-10 p.m. April 29 and noon-5 p.m. Sunday, April 30.
“We are really excited for more of the community to come and check out the village, it’s a really fun and unique place,” Our Kitchen owner Suzanne Taylor told The Bellingham Herald in an interview. It will be the restaurant’s second year at The Portal.
Our Kitchen will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays in May. The restaurant will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Memorial Day, Monday, April 29. In June it will expand hours to all day Thursday and Friday. After Bellingham schools are out it will be open Wednesday through Sunday, opening earlier in the morning and staying open until 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and then close at 6 p.m. on Sundays.
The Rain or Shine Riviera Club restaurant is hosting a private event on Friday, April 14, so the owner, Ticker Ba-Aye, decided to open to the public that Saturday, April 15, and every weekend after, including April Brewsday, until it opens for full at the end of May. While only open weekends in April and May, the full menu will be available.
“We are doing a private event on the 14th, so we are kind of already getting the gears going,” Riviera Club owner Ticker Ba-Aye told The Herald in an interview. “When you own a restaurant it is not super efficient to just open for one day, and then have product laying around. We are getting the ball rolling and dusting things off, getting in a good swing so when there is a greater flux of people coming in here... we will be ready for it.”
Kulshan Trackside Brewing is opening Friday, May 5. It will be open Fridays through Saturdays in May and open every day starting in June.
The Selkies Scoop opens May 5 but will be open for the April Brews Day event April 29. The ice cream vendor plans to be open Fridays through Sundays until opening daily around mid-June.
The Portal’s rotating retail container will open Thursday, May 8.
Rotating food trucks and semi-permanent food trucks open May 4.
