If you haven't tried FoPo yet, you're missing out. The food is awesome, staff are always kind, and the chicken wings are honestly the best in town. Can't recommend enough! Always love coming back, especially when it's down the street from my place. Chill hangout spot, date nights, and the amount of cool cars parked is a view as well! read more

Wide range of beers, mostly IPAs. I prefer a modified Shandy (IPA plus lemonade; I ask for pineapple juice), and the bartenders always (though sometimes with some confusion) accommodate. Cocina los Girasoles boasts an impressive menu, including "quesatacos," little quesadillas as the shell of a taco. Arcade games and ping-pong, as well as Lotto games, available. read more

On February 5, I took my girlfriend out to studio one after we're done with our movie around 11. We went to this bar specifically for the food and as soon as we pulled up to their front door, the dude locked the door as there's people having drinks and food in there so I will highly not recommend this place if they have this type of behavior cause when you say you're closing at 1 AM read more

My husband and I used to stop in all the time with all his riding friends. It's been awhile since I've been back but we stopped in last night for a car event. There was so many people and so many nice old schools. The service was okay. We ordered a few drinks and also some tacos. The tacos were amazing! So flavorful and well seasoned/marinaded. These have been the best tacos I've had around town. Will most likely be back again for the food. The bar has a cool vibe. It's small, but they have a room for video poker and they have some games. They also have outdoor seating. They have a large amount of Jell-O shots with all kinds of flavors. One of my favorites is the juicy fruit one. It's all street parking. read more

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? read more

My favorite bar on foster for sure. My favorite bar period, actually. At first I used to drive by and never really noticed it then my boyfriend introduced to me to it and I'm surprised they don't know us by name at this point. We come in a lot, sometimes for food, sometimes for a drink, sometimes just to play some video poker. Bartenders are wonderful, the owner is awesome.

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! read more

I'm not completely certain why people come here unless it happens to be your neighborhood bar. There isn't really anything remarkable about it. They do have a very extensive list of Jell-O shots, so I suppose that is their draw if you are into that sort of thing. It isn't a dive bar so it is completely approachable to a wide variety of personalities. The bar tender was nice. They have lots of board games you could play with your group. read more

I'm new to the area and obviously the most important thing to do is find a spot to watch Oregon games. FoPo is fantastic! The food was delicious, the bartender was also a duck fan which is fantastic, and, while i didn't try one this time, they have an extensive jello shot menu. Can't wait to come back for more games, more food, and more fun!! I think the funniest thing about this place is the big "NOW OPEN!!" sign on the front.

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.
