Kimchi Korean Burger for burger week - awesome. A mouthwatering burger on spicy mayo topped with kimchi create a perfect tangy, smokey satisfying creation. Not overpowering in spicy by any means, the kimchi is smoked in a real smoker - the flavor says it all. Add a little green onion and bacon bits throughout while the bun holds it all together, and it drips with flavor (literally, so watch out!). The Hopricot beer was also a great addition - not overly hoppy or too sweet made a nice blend. The onion rings are a little on the heavily breaded side.

Best bar in the Foster-Powell neighborhood!! Bashar and Rico are always super friendly, and Im more than happy to give them my business. If youre looking to grab some good drinks, tasty food, listen to music, and catch up with friends...then this is the best bar to do it. Not to mention the new back patio is amazing!!

Neoportland prices and vibe but the staff are friendly and the service is fine. Lots of seating including a big covered patio. Perfectly fine place but somewhat lacking in character, just a basic inoffensive but well appointed bar for the people who call foster Powell fopo.

Food was pretty tasty. I definitely liked the Mediterranean menu offerings though the spices or something made for some discomfort later. Drinks were alright, and some of the cocktails were particularly good. No decaf available for the Spanish Coffee though, boo.

Bar Mavens new outdoor seating area is awesome - definitely a step up from the old arrangement. This place is a great neighborhood bar, but the food is where it really shines. Where else in FoPo can you get a delicious falafel wrap at 11pm on a Tuesday?

Strong drinks and great Mediterranean vegan options delivered by friendly servers. Lots of bike parking and tables out front for hanging with your dog. They just built an awesome new side patio. Best happy hour drinks and food on Foster.

One of the best burgers we have had in a while, kimchi, pepper jack, and bacon on a soft toasted pub bun. Good music and the bartenders were welcoming. We live and work in the neighborhood, will definitely be back.

A nice little neighborhood spot, with good food in a cool area. The bar is a little loud, and the beer is a little more expensive than you might expect, but its a cool spot in a cool area. Well worth checking out.

Im part of a big group of gay guys who love coming here now and then. The open front and the patio are so nice on warm summer evenings. And the food and service are good.

Always a good time here. Cozy in the winter and great outdoor patio situation going on in the summer. Try the greek nachos, a nice twist on a bar menu staple.

The inside is relatively small, however theyve set up a great patio area with plants that makes you forgot youre on a busy street.

This place has the best Korean style wings in the city. Hands down. Get there early and beat the crowd on wing night.

The food elevates traditional bar fare into Lebanese-American comfort food. Recommend the poutine and gyro nachos.
