Went to the bar upstairs and liked the food and drinks and the open area with pool tables and art work, downstairs is the event/music area with cover charge. We should have stayed upstairs because its cold in the event area (40s outside and 2 large fans blowing in the outside air). Wish we didnt spend the cover but we will come back to the bar again. (I will update this review after another visit.) FYI great staff.

Great bar. Awesome artwork and the people that work there are very friendly. They also have pool tables. They are a little beat up, but I have seen worse. A patio for cigarette smokers too. Though I am not one, I like the area.

This place really helped me out. I am able to walk with no pain for hours when before i could only stand on my feet for 4 hrs before they would start to swell and hurt. Thanks for all your help its like i have new feet.

Great place for Live music. My first and only time. The only thing that bothered me, was that you could not bring beer from the bar down to the club.

First time here and its a nice vibe. Love how they display other local artist artwork. Pool table was fun.

Great food for a pub. Reasonable prices AND they host a monthly art show!

Je
Review №7

Cute pub feel. Lots of arcade games and pool. Live bands frequently play in the basement. The drink menu could use more variety, and the food could use more for the price.

I love this place. Been going here for 13 years. The upstairs is great and the downstairs venue is even better. Ive had so many good times here over the years. Still gets 5 stars even though a crotchety bartender threw me and my sister out last summer because my sister who was cut off was holding my drink so I could tie up my hair.

Very laid back and relaxing vibe. Good beer and people, mixed with good music. Also, they have pool tables and pinball machines!

This was a really fun spot for dancing on the first Friday of the month. The DJ kept everyone moving and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I think my only complaint would be that it was a bit dark and I had a hard time seeing. But the energy here was good and Ill definitely be back again for more funk nights.

Great place for live music, cheap beer, and free pool most nights. They feature different artists every couple weeks to a month so the atmosphere is always changing. They’ve even got a couple pinball machines and a photo booth upstairs if you’re into it.

Review №14

This place really good food as far as bars go. I love the upstairs has local artist paintings that change fairly frequently. Not to mention lots of pool tables, downstairs is usually live music and another bar great place to go on a Friday night for dancing and to check out some live music. Pretty cool place overall!

Great live soul, rhythm and jive music. Get ready to dance your socks off! The energy in this lounge hits you square in the face as soon as you walk in. You can feel how happy, friendly and present people are while at this venue. Once youve experienced Goodfoot Pub & Lounge, youll yearn to revisit this uplifting environment filled establishment.

This is a two-level bar and dance club. The upper level is the bar with really good food pool tables and a great staff. The lower level is a dance club that consistently Place great music. It would be hard not to have fun at this place.

Review №17

Two stories with two very different vibes

Review №18

It is a difficult place to watch any band as the dance floor is the same level as the stage. The ceiling is low and does make me feel claustrophobic and it has a cement dance floor so is very hard on my feet. Its really too bad too because they have some of the best bands playing there.

Review №19

Super fun venue for music in the lower level, and hanging out and playing pool on the upper level. Wish their beer selection was a bit better is the only knock.

Ja
Review №20

It was a cash only night with an empty ATM. So I got turned away. Maybe next time I can leave a better review. I give it one star for having friendly professional security and staff.

Cheap & delicious beer! Also infused liquor makes for some delicious house cocktails! Art is all over the wall and for sale at decent prices for a gift!

Its the goodfoot. The pool tables are a plenty, the drinks are solid, and the food is super good re-vegan weirdness.

Review №24

Great spot for pool and dancing. The upstairs is a cool lounge area with 4+ pool tables, featuring local art and lots of table space. The downstairs is a dance club which is super fun to get some grooves out - warning ceilings are super low so it can feel a bit constricting. Bonus, Babydoll pizza is right next door for late night snacks.

Review №25

I come for the live music downstairs. It gets active and the atmosphere is always a blast! The cover charges are questionable at times, but its all good. They have free pool upstairs sometimes and I can dig it.

Love the Goodfoot! Excellent place to go dancing. Upstairs bar has lots of pool and a good amount of space. A little bit pricey on the drinks but that will happen.

Wh
Review №28

Great place to hear blues, funk, reggae. Everyone comes to dance. I rate it 5 for dance music but 1 for venue. The Goodfoot needs to find a venue that doesnt feel like you are in a musty cave. Super low ceilings and jam packed with people; the only thing that keeps me going is the music and dance crowd. Never tried the food, but there is also a restaurant upstairs. Be prepared to park 2 or more blocks away because there is only street parking.

I went to see a band in the lower portion and had a blast. The sound was great and the bartender was friendly.

This is the best venue for music in Portland. They always have talented musicians and an enthusiastic audience. The food is delicious and the is a great selection of beer and cocktails. Ive been dancing at the Goodfoot since 2002 and its my second home

Friday night for soul dancing. Great vibes but I should have brought earplugs. Fun times and folks giving you a bit more personal space than downtown clubs.

Review №44

Honestly, Ive been a frequent customer for 10 years and have had a great night EVERY time. The staff are incredibly friendly, most have been there for years. Burroughs puts a lot of care into the pool tables. Ive never seen Dan not smiling. Luke always has a minute to catch up. Back in the day, Joe even let me borrow his cue from behind the bar to shoot. Chances of getting a pool table are really good any time with 4 to choose from. The art openings are massive, not to be missed. Hell of an opportunity for local artists. The shows down stairs are a blast! Great sound with a lot of energy. Everything on their menu is delicious and caters to all diets. I highly recommend the Portobello sandwich, if its still there upon reading this. Hands down, my absolute favorite bar in Portland.

Only been once,but Man what a Blast! Friendly staff, the tribute to Erykah and Jill was glorious. Diverse crowd gettin down on the dance floor. Delicious infused cocktails, reasonably priced. $2 coat check and as a lady this part is important, I never felt harassed or unsafe. Had to turn down dance propositions but never had to say No twice, I was left alone to dance by myself in a sea of like minded people grooving to the energy.

Review №59

Upstairs is really cool and seems really large with the high ceilings, with walls lined with show posters. Downstairs dance floor has a hidden vibe with a packed dance floor. When I went I wouldnt call the music played on-genre, but the vibe was ripe and ready for grooving. Had a blast !

Review №69

The best little dive bar in Portland! This place has got it all, from good food/strong drinks to a rotating local art showcase. I highly recommend you check out some music downstairs. They always have a good rotation of bands playing each week and the cover charge is usually next to nothing. Their staff is also full of fabulous talented people who truly have a special place in my heart. Love you Goodfoot, dont ever change!

Review №70

Weve been showing up there around six on Fridays for drinks and dinner.Havent tried the entire menu but the Civic Dog, American Mac &Cheese are favorites along with their Goodfoot Burger which has assumed its rightful place as my second-favorite burger. Plus, Dustin has given us excellent service.Wouldnt mind a bigger wine selection and to carry Pendleton. A couple months later and the cook has come up with a fried wonton Reuben. Turns out he makes his sauerkraut, pastrami, kimchee... Hes been great about helping Dustin out with the service as well. I love this place.Btw, I was the first to order the Reuben. It was *so* good...

Review №74

A two story music venue, top half for food, drink and pool, and the down stairs which you have to leave the building to enter. Is for concerts and other live events, and has a full bar in both areas.

Review №76

I wish theyd clean and ideally remodel their bathrooms - the womens room disgusts me. Low ceilings, basic drinks, fun dancing when the music and crowd is right. Often college-y

Review №77

Terrrible place, thought that on a Friday it might have a decent crowd. Instead terrible and pretentious service. No wonder nobody goes there

Always the greatest for late nights, and local music in the heart of SE. Perfect follow up slice next door after the longest of nights.

Review №81

My friends love this place. I really enjoy they food their. I like the sandwiches. The art that is always changing is great. It is usually fairly open unless their is a game, and then after is it packed with drunk Blazer fans. The stretch of bars on the street is fun. It also is really nice that the venue is downstairs, so you can enjoy your time without having to hear the bands.

Nice gallery space upstairs that showcases local artists, and a sweet basement space downstairs thats been known to get some of the whitest hipsters in Portland on the dancefloor.

I havent been to the lounge upstairs only to the underside of the bar. We went to go dance for the night and sure enough the place was kicking off and packed but unfortunately I found the sound to be abysmal and so had to bail but its worth checking out.

Standing only... was alright. Kinda smelled funny, nice bar staff but security was a bit rude, maybe cuz they gotta be? Definitely better choices out there.

Classic Portland dive bar. Curated art gallery that is rotated roughly every week. Decent food menu with a very solid vegetarian menu. Ok drinks. Pool tables upstairs. The venue downstairs is uh, special.

Review №97

Great Space! Pool Tables, giant bar, live music downstairs, relaxed atmosphere. Didnt try any food but had a great time here. I was definitely perplexed by the bartenders upstairs, service was prompt but I almost felt like they didnt want me there. Brusque and cold are the first words that come to mind about the service upstairs, and it definitely got pretty close to just plain rude. It started with the first drink I ordered and continued through the evening, I certainly wasnt the only one who felt this way either. Maybe they were having a bad night but it definitely rubbed me the wrong way.
