The Calumet is fairly new, opening in October of 97 and much more aligned with the new, hip Bellingham than was the bar it replaced. The menu offers a blend of different styles and tastes, from pastas and salads to soups and quiches. The Calumet is perhaps better known for its blended and mixed drinks, which arrive in a variety of vivid colors. The Calumet boasts live jazz, which serves as unobtrusive background music while you dine. Rounding out the atmosphere is a moody, possibly romantic lighting design.
Patrons tend to dress a little sharper in accordance with the sophisticated feel of the restaurant.
