Touting itself as a "brewery, pizzeria, beer shrine, and wedding chapel," The North Fork draws a diverse clientele that includes locals as well as everyone who plays (winter or summer) at Mount Baker. Families settle in at wood tables next to 20-somethings, while the locals and old-timers tend to congregate at the bar. The thin-crust pizza (served on an elevated platter) is good (choose from a few prearranged pies or build your own), the spicy steamer clams have a loyal following, and the brews (also available to go by the jug) are tasty and inventively named. Service is friendly and familiar. An ordained minister is on-site for those who want to tie the knot; the "shrine" consists of empty bottles and cans collected over the past 90 years. Your (reasonable) bill comes with fortune cookies, if you're less ready to commit.
