Big drinks, big music, big foot

The Bigfoot is an eyesore when driving down Division street in the north end of Spokane.  A giant gorilla grabs attentions of drivers passing by.  Who would have guessed though, that within the crumbly exterior are some of the best values in Spokane.

A simple bar, to be honest.  Nothing screams extremely unique from within the bar; it simply is an atmosphere for cultivating fun.

When walking in, patrons will be overpowered by the sounds of Karaoke.  A few nights each week, the bar offers free singing for anyone willing to come up and sing.  Generally, later in the evening, takers are abundant and listeners may hear anything from classic rock to modern pop. There are 10,000 different songs to choose from.

While relaxing to a group of college students belting out chords from Journey, go to the bar and get a drink. While domestic and imported beers are abundant by the cold glass and pitcher, some of the magic appears in the cocktails.  Generally, mixed drinks range from $5 to $7 and are masterfully made by one of the most skilled bartenders I’ve ever met.  The bartender’s name is Hannah.  Hannah gets to know her customers by asking what their preferences are when it comes to drinks; fruity, sweet, bitter, sour, etc.  Once Hannah has the profile in order, she “throws a bunch of s*** together” until she creates something she knows her customers will like. Thus, when going to the The Bigfoot, you are guaranteed to test something new and different if willing to try. If you’re lucky, she may even let you name your own drink.

Popcorn, the most buttery and salty popcorn ever created, is free for patrons, but the menu is extensive as well.  Delicious fried foods like chicken wings and mozzarella sticks are available until late in the night and are a wonderful compliment to some sweet drinks.

After some singing and some tasty munchies, try shooting some pool.  Only one dollar a round on one of the four tables.

The budget for a sample evening at “The Foot”

  • One “fruity” drink – $5.00
  • Popcorn – free
  • Two rounds of pool  – $2.00
  • Three songs on Karaoke – free
  • One order of mozzarella sticks – $5.00
  • Tip for Hannah – $3.00

Try a fun Thursday night at the Bigfoot with your friends.  It will be worth your while.  Please drink responsibly and declare a designated driver before heading out.
