The restaurant opens at 5. My husband and I arrived around 5:10 and the doors were still locked. We were about to walk away when we noticed someone coming to open the gate. She opened the restaurant for us and all the lights were still out as we walked in, Another younger lady was also there and got us drinks. I ordered an old fashioned. Not sure she actually knew how to make one as it seemed like pure bitters, no Makers. We ordered food and waited 20 minutes before she came to tell us that the kitchen had a stack of tickets they opened up to (despite it being completely closed and empty before we arrived). We also noticed 2 kitchen employees arrive during this time. Another 20 minutes passed of us listening to her talk with two off duty employees (very loudly and with lots of cursing) and I walked up to the bar to ask her about our food. They evidently still hadn’t even started it. We canceled our order, paid for our drinks, and left. What a terrible excuse for a restaurant. The hotel should be embarrassed to be associated with them.
Prices weren't super expensive. Nice atmosphere has booths and tables
Love it.
Love it 😍
Nice place
We attended a Micro Wrestling event here. The staff is friendly and the venue is clean and fairly well laid out. It's a little hard to find but worth the effort.
We LOVE this venue for music, especially in the summer!
The stairs are black and in the dark. I almost fell because I couldn't see the edge of the steps.
Just a light color stripe at the edge would help keep you from getting sued and make me safer.
Went there to watch a friend perform. Food was good. Venues was intimate. interior seating was all close to the stage.

Awesome environment and great bands
We like the acoustics at The Foundry. We went to hear a jazz band. We had good strong drinks this time, still small for the money they cost. It was disapointing that there aren't enough seats for everyone inside. It was too cold to have all the windows open to the patio seats.

Very fun place to go for music performances with good food and ambience.

Visited on 6/18/23 around 6pm. The bartender was absolutely RUDE. Never welcomed us to the restaurant, we were told “I’ll be right back” all while he was running around, I mean at least seat us so we don’t have to stand around. He finally came back, didn’t acknowledge us again, grabbed something for another customer and ran off. So I said forget this place I refuse to give my money yo a place that had horrible customer service, there are no excuses. So, we walked down the street to Blind Pig Tavern and got the customer service we were looking for. I don’t expect the foundry to be open much longer since customer service doesn’t matter to them.

Beer is really more than on average. HighNoon was 6.25They have a very few local beers and miller light mostly anheuser-busch products on tap and in bottles/can. As we no longer buy anheuser-bush products due to there past advertising mistakes. We got a bit thirsty. The atmosphere is great the staff was very professional and friendly. The band we went to see, Grains of Sand were very entertaining.

Pleasant and friendly staff and the food is good, hot and reasonably priced. Limited options, but plenty to choose from. After all, it’s more bar the restaurant….at least during our stay. Will definitely return. Had the cheese burger, shrimp tacos and cheese steak with fries.
Atmosphere is very pleasant and exceptional customer service. The food was delicious. The wings, sweet potato bites, and mixed drinks are awesome. Definitely will be back.
Bring your own alcohol in a flask because the line to wait for a drink is 30 minutes. Unfortunately I am not kidding. Not impressed.
