There’s no other way to say it, Miller’s BackDoor said “THAT’S A WRAP!” this last weekend. And, we couldn’t be more grateful for all those who participated in an idea and a brand that encompassed true comradery and cocktails.

We trailblazed, we forged ahead, we reconfigured, and we well…. called it when it was time.

Miller’s BackDoor may come back one day. But until then we will introduce an extension of Rumors. Yes, is expanding into the BackDoor space with FOOD, PULL TABS, POOL and more. And you can count on your dependable bartenders to be there too.

SEE YOU LATER MBD. November 27, 2018 - January 31, 2026. Bellingham wants something different. So we’ll see ya another time. Bham!!! Stay tuned and follow for more!

As a q***r refuge in Bellingham, Back Door (& Rumors Cabaret) feel it is important to stay open tonight for our community to have a gathering space during this time.

With that being said, all **Spiked Apricot Lemonade** orders ($13) will be directly donated to .w.i.r.p in their efforts to protect our immigrant neighbors.

We will also have options for cash donations at the bar.

We encourage that you pay in cash as well in observance of the strike.

Remember, any ounce of q***r joy is resistance to our oppressors.

But also, f**k ICE 🧊

The viscosity immediately highlights the sweet rhubarb, then the bitter gentian root and orange peel blend with wormwood and vanilla notes.
