BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – Months after announcing their space was up for sale, a downtown Bellingham restaurant is preparing for its final reservations.

The owners of Carnal announced that their last day of service will be November 1.

My Bellingham Now previously reported that the restaurant’s equipment and space went up for sale last month.

The location on State Street has been serving up fine dining experiences with seasonal menus since early 2020.

The team behind Carnal also opened Bistro Estelle, which was sold in April, and Accomplice, which will remain open.

Earlier this year, Carnal released a line of artisanal beef sticks nation-wide, expanding on their local beef jerky business.

Carnal’s owners are encouraging people to make reservations before they close for good.
