The Goodfoot Pub and Lounge in Southeast Portland is an art covered, music emanating hub. All types of music can be found here, although the dedication and love of funk is evident here from the start as it is widely assumed the name a reference to the James Brown song "Get on the Good Foot". (2)
Music
Music will be issuing forth from Goodfoot most nights of the week, with cover ranging from free to around $10. Expect open mic night each Monday with bands every other night of the week (except Sunday). Expect all types of genres to come through, but as indicated, funk will be one of the main features.
The Venue
The Goodfoot is separated into an upstairs and downstairs, both of which can only be reached via outside.
Upstairs is large bar with pool, pinball, and other games. The music is all downstairs, but this is a convenient spot to hang out before and/or after a show.
Downstairs is where the music making happens. The roof is low, there are no windows, and while it is a fair sized space, it can feel cramped. Basically its a basement. Its decked out with some artful flairs and ultimately is fun and unique place to catch a show.
