FoPo Tavern

This place is awesome! It has a really cool vibe and Abby the bartender on Tuesday nights is really nice! I highly recommend checking this place out!

Very casual and comfortable. Happy hour has a good selection. The mac and cheese is more of a tasty pasta dish than just mac and cheese. One of our new regular places.

Meh. Kinda nice, kinda lame. Service good but food pretty bad. Comedy night was fun. Seems like a pretty basic sports bar watering hole. Good beer selection. Don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed.

A «sports bar» that doesn’t even open til 4 on Saturday and Sunday. I’d be here every weekend for college and NFL games if they were open (tried last week). Here’s Hoping the hours may change for the season and I’ll change my review.

Delicious drinks, generously poured to go with a tasty chicken sandwich. No complaints from this guy. Full belly to go with a tasty beverage, simple and effortlessly done.

Bartender was welcome and nice and the establishment was neat and clean, I just felt like even for a bar, it was soooo loud in there I couldn’t think. Everywhere you turn is a huge TV and of all things, Family Feud was cranked and we couldn’t even talk; we did go outside and it’s fine, but I really wanted to sit even in the back area and have a drink and visit with some music and it was just pulsating Family Feud all over.
I do think there is potential here and see the effort new owners have put into the bar, but how about TV’s for sports/​entertainment fans in one end and some music and relaxing in the other?

I’ve only been here a couple of times but I like this place. The drinks are strong, the food is decent and the place is pretty chill. I enjoyed impromptu movie and popcorn night.

Love this place! Chill atmosphere, fun trivia nights, and Ms. Katrina serves a mean drink. Any bar with outside seating is a plus for me, highly recommend popping in and checking this place out you won’t regret it.

This is one of the cleanest and simplest bars out there, which is quite rare in Portland. There’s a pool table where the coin slot is broken so Yay for free pool! The are also two glasses where they display their bottles for you to try throwing coins into. Fun!

Staff was super nice, but otherwise this place does not have a whole lot going for it. Kind of a dump…

This is my second review of this business. I’ve been going to this bar for as long as I have lived around the corner. The new owners are doing a great job making this place a fun environment with weekly and daily events to attract people of all interest. Game night, karaōke (my girlfriends favorite) and my favorite trivia night (because my team always wins) and $ 1.00 unlimited nachos on Wednesdays. Stiff drinks and I mean STIFF! you won’t leave thos place feeling like you didn’t get your moneys worth. There’s always a diverse group of people at the bar, who are willing to engage in conversation. (If thats what your looking for) They have my BIG BUCK HUNTER (HD) The greatest game since duck hunt. Food is basic but good. I have no need for fancy at a pub. Give me a bacon cheese burger with a egg on it and some tots and I am a happy fatboy.
Pool, local microbrews, good lighting, Big TV’S, clean bathrooms. No video poker, but also no tweekers or other SHADY characters. I like what this place is becoming and I hope they continue. My only complaint is that the name is kinda lame but who am I to talk about names? I’m FRANK FOOTER

Hands down the best bar in southeast Portland. Great service with a good home feeling.

Place is fine, very nice service, quick about the food coming out. Nothing here especially impressed me though, I ordered the fopo wings, I’m pretty sure they use those North Korean starved chickens, tiny little wings, not much meat on them, they tasted fine just a little undersized. Overall, meh…

Have been in twice now, enjoyed myself both times. Appreciate that Blazer games are shown here. Bartender addresses people by name when he learns them, which is nice. Food has been good and the chips are great! This place is a little different than everything else on Foster and hopefully they do well. Mostly hip-​hop music the times I’ve been in. Not too loud, not awful, not offensive. Beer selection is ok… I drink just about everything so I’m usually concentrating on service and environment more. As of right now, I will continue to visit.

Bro bar.
Beer was cold, bartender was friendly and efficient, but I’m just not into a bar filled with guys yelling at the basketball game on the TV.
If that’s your thing, you’ll be happy here.

Came here not realizing it was the Old Dusty’s before this place. Went here on a suggestion of a few friends. We organized some people together and arrived here with a party of 6. Bar was not dead but was not busy to the point where we got little to no service. Bartender was very friendly and was very helpful in mentioning specials and food suggestions as well. My wife and I ordered the blue cheese burger and a few drinks. Burger was cooked perfectly and with ample amounts of blue cheese and bacon. The burger was accompanied with an order of fresh potato chips which totally made the whole meal. It was so good that I ordered an additional of the potato chips as well!
My overall opinion is that this place is a lot better than what Dusty’s used to be. It’s funny how another review mentions about the lights being off in the kitchen cause this used to be the case as well when it was Dusty’s and its also interesting how this particular reviewer writes a 5 star review for Dusty’s and slams FoPo for the same thing I used to see at Dusty’s. Is someone a little butthurt that there little neighborhood bar got bought out? Fact of the matter is, Dusty’s went out of business for a reason. Out with the old and in with the new. I wish this new establishment with the best of luck with their new business endeavor. It looks like you guys are heading in the right direction! Good job guys!

Lights out in the kitchen makes one think you are not proud of your food. Not a welcoming place. Bartender was to into visiting with friends. Wings OK not great not anything special would have helped if oil was up to temperature prior to putting them in.

This is a great new bar for Foster. I believe they just opened but so far it’s going great. I’m a sports guy myself and they have great new TVs with a good picture. Let’s be real though we go to the bar to drink and I have not had any problems with feeling I have a weak drink. My wife told me to be sure to say how clean it was and she really appreciates that you can even see into the kitchen and it is spotless. We also had dinner there and it came out fast fresh and hot. I must say I think I found my new neighborhood bar.

Very clean and fun, good drinks, fun games and pool. One of the best bar in the area, price for drinks and food are reasonable. Lots space

I love this place! The bartender pours good drinks and is really friendly. It’s super clean inside and the food is yummy. So happy to have a fun new bar in the neighborhood. This will definitely be my new regular spot!
