When I went it was a quiet night, but the beers were good and the food was tasty. I had the Valhalla sliders and they were awesome! Such a good mix of flavors and surprisingly wasn't that tough to eat despite them being tall and using pretzel rolls. Would've thought I'd make a huge mess, but I didn't. I didn't try the other food options (there were only 3 in total), but I have a feeling I'd have been happy with the other 2.I also enjoyed perusing their little store and fridge section. From what I gather, you can purchase bottles and open them right there which is such a wonderful idea.

Beers here are very overpriced. Atmosphere inside is dull and a bit sad.

My dad has been coming here for a while, and urged me to come see. I LOVE this place. very chill atmosphere and cozy place to relax. the beer selection is out of this world, plus the girl working there was very kind. I think her name is Jessica. Thank you for a nice experience, I'll def be back.

Great beer selection that makes me wish I could drink. Good food and great entertainment. Love the local musicians!

Solid selection of craft; setting is well-appointed and comfortable. The ambience on this day at about 5:45PM was supported by an equally solid country playlist.But 630ish, it changed to jazz; we were to be the only remaining patrons inside; when asked about the music change, the barkeep said, "some folks have poor music tastes."I asked if he could go back to country...a succinct "nope" was the answer. I won't stand rudeness in a man. Good riddance.

First off, well done. This is the best beer selection I've seen in the area. The atmosphere fits perfectly with the products they offer. The place is a bit small, but makes up for it with excellent customer service and lots of character. I will say, the Cuban sandwich I had left something to be desired. The pork was bland, unsalted, and not smoky at all. They were pretty stingy with the stone ground mustard and pickles as well, making the sandwich a bit dry overall. Clearly the focus is on beer, and in that they are doing a fantastic job. Pleasantly surprising.

I mean obviously the beer selection was incredible, but the girl at the counter was lukewarm at best. She barely greeted me when I made it to the counter. Part of me just hates to go to a counter and order a beer, I'd rather sit at a table, look at a menu and go from there. That being said, after I already ordered my beer, I noticed at the tables they had one of those QR codes where you could scan the menu, so my fault for not noticing that. But I guess I just figure if you go into an establishment like this where they charge you $8 for a beer, The staff should be a little friendlier.

Cute and casual beer and wine market with Foodie-food offerings. We stopped in here to have a quick drink before the Rome Braves game. TONS of choices on tap as well as in coolers to grab and go. Our kids snacked on the BBQ Piggy Potato Flatbread and the OG Kevin Grilled cheese and they absolutely hoovered it down, so two thumbs up. I hate that I wasn't hungry because all the menu options looked amazing.

This is a great little place. We drove to Rome for the day and this will be on our stop next time. Loved learning about the different drinks. The food was delicious. You'll have to wait a little bit for the food- because it's cooked fresh with fresh ingredients.

Recently stopped for lunch while visiting friends in Rome. Decent selection of beers/ciders on tap and an outstanding selection of canned/bottled stuff in the coolers. Sadly, the food was generic and lackluster. Most of all though, the staff for the most part, weren't attentive or even particularly friendly in any way. Almost like we were a bother for being there and interrupting their need to stock the shelves. And this was in the afternoon on a Tuesday. Not like they were busy at all as we were the only customers in the place.

Just an amazing assortment of bottled beers for sale, also a great selection of draft beers. Highly recommended

We decided to try the Foundry after reading the positive reviews and the gorgeous pics of tasty looking foods on their website.Upon entry, the place looked pretty casual cool. We actually expected a larger place based on their website pics.As soon as we entered the establishment, we were greeted by the bartender. We were there with 5 other family members. So, the bartender explained how you order from the counter ( Wendy’s style) and start a tab.Appetizers were ordered. ( pickled eggs, collard green Gouda dip and the meat and cheese plate).The picked eggs tasted like vinegar and the cheese and meat plate serving almost made me laugh out loud. I’ve never seen something so pitiful. The cheese slices were the size of a quarter. I’ve never had a green olive that had no flavor at all. Did they rinse them?Here comes the BLT, beef and cheddar sandwich, chicken tacos and flatbreads. Even my father in law didn’t eat his beef and cheddar which is unheard of, not to mention, he said it had no flavor. All of us agreed that the food was flavorless. My husband ordered the BLT and it had two slices of bacon on it. The beef and cheddar sandwich’s had a very slim grey colored slice of beef that quite frankly scared me.Meanwhile, we watched the bartender and cook drink the entire time. The patrons were bringing up their dirty dishes to the bar because if you didn’t you would sit among trash,Cleanliness is not high on the priority list. I could hardly see myself in the bathroom mirror.I will never go again for food of any kind.We took our family there for a nice lunch and now we are embarrassed about our choice.
