Summer seems to have decided to start in August here.
We'll take it.
I'm often times shocked at the things we have to offer throughout the week.
We're still rockin' our specials daily.
The free pool tables have been wildly popular and everyone comments about how sweet they are now that they have been re-felted.
Here's what's happening this week:

Otis Heat w/Unicorn Domination
$6 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
Oregon Music News writes: "Otis Heat is known for delivering energetic and animated live performances distinguished by warm danceable grooves, impassioned vocals, dirty rhythms, and high voltage analog instrumentation. The band has earned a reputation as a recognizable musical force throughout the Pacific Northwest. Their inspirations, educations, and motivations draw from a wide spectrum of musical influences, from the giants of jazz, to the soul of Nina Simone, to the honesty of Neil Young, to the ferocity of the 1990s grunge movement, to the proficiency of the British invaders. The result is a dynamic and ever-growing body of work which never fails to capture the imagination of its audiences."
Joining Otis Heat is Unicorn Domination. Thriving in the rich performance art culture of Portland, OR, is Chelsea Dixon and Clint Havard's music project Unicorn Domination. The duo weaves a soundscape of fat electronic beats spliced with melodic hooks. They demonstrate an expressive live performance, exuding a superhero persona with a popping delivery. Inspiration lies in the symbol of the Unicorn, a playful and fierce beast of the magical world.
Friday, August 5th
1st Friday Super Jam w/DJ Magneto & Friends
$5 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
The first Friday of each month means that its time once again for DJ Magneto and friends to take the helm downstairs and steer everyone toward a super jam of epic funk, soul, disco & hip hop proportions. Caution: if you feel that you might get blinded by shaking booties in hot pants you may want to avert your eyes!
Saturday, August 6th
JUJUBA
$8 cover | Doors 9pm | 21 and over
"How YOU Feelin'?" Ready to dance your hearts out? Jujuba is one of the Goodfoot favorites. They're an ultra funky Afrobeat and Juju band led by master talking drummer, Nojeem Lasisi (King Sunny Ade). Grounded in solid drumming (provided by drum kit and massive African percussion), rubbery bass lines and layers of floating brass, Jujuba shows are grand and sweaty dance parties for the people!
