Not only was the weather spectacular but we had an amazing turnout all weekend. It sure felt like a 3 day party where everyone was having a blast.
This week we're wrapping up July and looking forward to a late summer (fingers crossed) from August to October(?).
The pool tables sure are getting a great workout! We're thrilled that the free pool from open to close all week has been so well received.

Water Tower Bucket Boys w/The Bellboys
Doors open 9:00pm | $6 cover | 21 and over
Water Tower Bucket Boys have been brewing up a storm in the folk music world. The boys have collaborated live with members of bands like Frank Turner, Kitty Daisy and Lewis, the Red Stick Ramblers, and the Foghorn Stringband and shared the stage with acts like Old Crow Medicine Show, Mumford and Sons, Wilco, Pokey LaFarge and the South City Three, and Woody Pines. They have toured extensively in both the USA and abroad, and performed live on the BBC, NPR, and RTE. Their all original sound is infectious and has spread far and wide to audiences of all ages and walks of life. Based in Portland, Oregon these young gents got their start busking on street corners playing traditional old time and bluegrass, eventually honing their sound as a solid dance band playing square dances and bluegrass festivals up and down the west coast.
When you listen to The Bellboys, it’s hard to know if they’re rural outlaws or city boys with beards, and it turns out they’re a bit of both. The Portland, Ore.-based Americana folk-rock group lets its Idaho roots show in timeless songwriting, tight, grizzly harmonies and classic, tasteful guitar leads that are all energized by countless hours playing the streets and packed venues within Portland.
Soul Stew w/DJ Aquaman & Friends
Doors open 9pm / Music 10pm | $5 cover | 21 and over
The last three Fridays of the month are like no other. Sure, there's plenty of joints in town that have tried, and still try to replicate Soul Stew but there's nothing like gettin' on the goodfoot down at The Goodfoot! We also believe that imitation is the highest form of flattery! Come down and see why Soul Stew has been going strong for more than 10 years. It's NOT for everyone... We've said this before and we'll say it over and over and over. If you love funk, soul, disco & break beats, you love to dance your ass off like nobody's business and you are not afraid to sweat then we have got a fantastic evening in store for you... If these things sound unappealing, by all means... try any of the number of great Portland clubs/bars/venues on for size.
