We had been here once before for a private event, but writing this review based on our most recent visit. Pros: Great cocktails and plenty of space inside the building Outdoor patio areas are nice Plenty of activities for everyone Cons: The parking situation is horrible - they could double the size of their parking lot and still not have enough If you've never been here before, it's a bit of a 'what do we do' kinda thing. The arcade games are older and many of them didn't work but the ones that did, it was very unclear that they were free to play. We lost a few bucks in quarters until we realized we didn't need to pay to play Nearly every table had a 'reserved' cone on it, even at an off time of day. We found one table that didn't, and despite being there for an hour, a waitress never approached us. We grabbed drinks from the bar, went back to our table and bounced between it and the games. Again, maybe we did something "wrong" to not have table service? Overall, a great space to hang out with friends, but has some downsides that are worth noting read more

Went here for a company shindig. Overall, it's not my cup of tea, but it has great atmosphere and fun stuff to check out. It's definitely more for older teens and twenty-somethings looking for a party atmosphere, especially with the go-carting course. There is also bowling and arcade machines. Overall, no complaints. Go if it sounds like something you'd like. read more

Celebrated a friends birthday at the Foundry Social and played some games duckpin bowling, skeeball, corn hole, and arcade games followed by a few laps around high voltage karting before grabbing some Mad Brewing beer and cocktails with appetizers. In the summer they open the back garage door and extend the raceway outdoors! It was so busy we had to park in the overflow lot but easily found a space.

So many fun things to do there other than sit at a bar and drink! Indoor cornhole, shuffleboard, game room, entertainment, free! duckpin bowling for a fee! They also have go kart for a fee. Everything was clean. Service was great. read more

Was vacillating between a 3 and a 4. The service was excellent, the games were fun and some of the food was good. The pickle chips were very good and the pretzel bites were excellent. The salad was actually good. The beer selection was broad and the ones we chose were pretty good. The games were old but fun and tokens were pretty cheap. The downside was the rest of the food. We got burgers and chicken sandwiches and they were mediocre. The onion rings were not good. I would suggest coming here for appetizers, beers and games and for that it's great. read more

The good- Foundry Social is a really fun place, they have duck pin bowling, old school video games, go karts, and much more! - had really great service, everyone who was there working Saturday afternoon was super friendly and helpful. - the appetizers we tried, chips and dip, and pretzels were delicious - full drink menu, lots of great beer to choose from The not so good- main entrees were not good, hardly any vegetarian options. The overall taste of the food was not that great. Pretty small, limited menu. The salads are very basic with not much substance Overall Foundry Social was a fun experience, I would recommend for drinks, games, a couple appetizers but they need to up their food game. read more

Visited Foundry Social recently to celebrate my son's birthday. On this occasion, we dined in and then played some games. For dinner, the shroom burger sounded appetizing, so that's what I requested. Our waitress was very friendly. A while later, the food was delivered. Everything was hot and fresh. The burger was delicious as were the fries. The fries were very unique and tasty. My meal was served with a garlic aoili that I dipped my fries in. Excellent meal. The games were fun to play. I played centipede, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and Mortal Kombat. It was a good night at Foundry Social and we'll be back for more. read more

"Our server, Gwen, was fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and fast. We loved her. The kitchen was slow, so our appetizers came out cold and with our meals. I didn't really eat my app bc of that. Drinks were awesome- we loved the strawberry margarita and the Foundry punch." I'd like to see the game reservation system handled better. I don't know that the hosts always do a great job of monitoring the time people are on the game. We waited a while for shuffleboard even when the previous res was done and forgot to turn in the pucks. They could use a couple more skee ball games, it seemed like people were waiting for those most of the night. Other arcade games were well kept and I was pleased to see none Out of Order. Duck pin bowling was really fun. If in the event the pins got tangled, someone was readily available to reset. So much easier on the aging body than traditional Bowling :-) read more

Fun vibe, limited menu This is a place you come to hang out with friends. Highly recommend making reservations in advance for large parties or on weekends. Also reserve bowling or go kart riding in advance as well because sometimes the wait can be really long. We had a group of girls for a birthday party and had a great time. Our server was very friendly. The drinks were delicious and the place had a great vibe with someone playing acoustic music. The menu is really limited so you might want to check it out before visiting. Also parking can be difficult. They have limited parking in the front and a lot in the back that you have to walk farther than you think through the building. I even so people parking on the street. read more

Had a friends party here last night- it was 8 dollar beer night! The place is so expensive, completely overpriced for drinks and food. Atmosphere was fun- but the AC was weak and it was uncomfortably hot. Server was sweet just really busy- so it was hard to get her attention. She did her best. If I'm paying that much for drinks/food- they should have minimally provided the AC. Won't be back. read more

Place could be great but food is horrible. I'd compare the food selection to a dive bowling alley. Do not eat here. Pretty much Walmart great value foods slapped in the deep fryer. Extremely disappointing. read more

The food has potential to be good, but it came out cold. The cheese wasn't even melted anymore. Cold burgers, cold onion rings, and cold beer. One of those three was good. The server had a difficult time serving. The place was empty, maybe at 30% capacity. Server was no where to be found. read more

A very nice place for gatherings with the family, friends or just simply looking to enjoy an evening watching sports or listening to their live performances. This was an hour away from our house, but it's worth-it because of the various offering that it has of activities. Good food, great selection of beer and plenty of activity to go around. ONLY complaint, looks like they need to update their arcades, as most of them were broken-down and need of service. We couldn't even get 3 games of skeeball going next to each other. When buying tokens, scope out the games first. Maybe get a small bag to share and go from there. read more

Eat, drink, pool, bowling, go-carts and so much more. Come for happy hour, stay for dinner or host an event the staff is impeccable and will work you to make it all happen. We booked an office party with a continental breakfast and lunch, with snacks and a full bar. The staff was pleasant and helpful. They checked in to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the event and made changes along the way to accommodate or ever changing requests. Tons of fun, the drink menu is huge, sit on the comfy couches and laugh, or dust off your Mario cart skills before you hit the skeeball, the kid in you will thank you. read more

Service at the bar sucks, unless you the bartender friend you won't get service. The bartender with the gauges in his ears will walk past and ignore you. Food is bar food at best. Too bad service is horrible. read more

Great place. Took my family there and friends. Although the place was packed our waiter was amazing. You could see how busy he was, but he made a point to accommodate our large party and my parents who are elderly. They very much enjoyed the bag toss and being able to play games with their teenage grandkids. Food was very good! They also tried to accommodate my wife's gluten allergy. Great place to have in our community! We will always support them. read more

Love this place! The go karts are so much fun & Laurin is absolutely amazing. Gave us a spot in the corner for a party!

Took my kids there for their birthday and they were closed for a private event despite the website and Google saying they we're open. Drove 45 minutes to be told by some lady in the parking lot that we weren't allowed in read more

Went here with my husband for something close to home to do. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and vibe, fun place in our backyard. The fish tacos were really good and the fish was cooked to perfection. If you're a top shelf bourbon drinker, beware, it's going to cost you if you don't drink within reason. I feel the bourbon was more expensive there, than a lot of other places we've been. Our bartender was amazing and had a really fun and personable personality. She was very attentive to everyone and witty. The game room was nostalgic, my husband and I enjoyed playing games from back in the day and the fee to play was reasonable. The music was pretty diverse for the most part and loud but oddly not too loud to carry a conversation. I wasn't too impressed with the cashier area in the front, where you pay for game play. They did a great job of ignoring us as we stood there for a few minutes. So that prompted us to go to the bar. Went back to the cashier 30 minutes later and still wasn't greeted and it was 3 of them, just standing around, so had to just start talking to get help. Nothing was really explained and it was our first time. Other than that, it was a decent time and I would definitely go back. The 4 stars weighted heavily on the bartender, the food we ordered, and the atmosphere. read more

I booked a space complete with food, a beverage cooler, tokens, bowling and racing. The staff was EXCELLENT and the atmosphere is SO.MUCH.FUN! Cornhole, Duckpin bowling, retro arcade, pool, Sitting area with TVs and more tvs with Nintendo and play station hook ups. skeet-ball, Giant Jenga, connect four. EVERYONE had a great time!

Came back this past weekend and they seem like they are working hard at getting drinks and food orders out faster. The place is still slammed with people, great potential! We tried calling and reserving for our group of 14 but no one picked up the phone all week long, it ended up working out okay (I have no idea how!). The food was great, our drinks were delicious. Other people in our group said their kegs seemed flat, after trying their beer it did seem like it was. Glad we have this place in Medina! read more

Foundry Social - Menu - Bars Near Me - Medina, Ohio

The place is brand new and everything looks fresh and great. That's about the only good thing they have going on here. All drinks were served in plastic cups even though there's an bar out in the open with tons of glasses. The menus were printed on cheap paper on clipboards. No one sat us but what I assume was a hostess told us we could pick a table and she would get us a waiter. The waiter would disappear for long periods of time. Our food came out after about 35 minutes after ordering, not all together but instead 2 plates would come out, then a few minutes later the next 2 plates would come, and that continued over about 10 minutes. There's tons of things that need improved here but if they could start to make things better it could thrive. read more

We went yesterday afternoon, wasn't busy, lots of empty tables, got a drink at the bar, hubby and friends that came with us also got brews from the brewery. High tops were too high for my short legs, so we moved into the game area where there were 6 empty tables surrounding us. I had asked the bartender if we could sit there, she said we could. So we were drinking and playing our game for a good hour. We were almost done when the "host" came over and asked if anyone sat is down, we explained the situation. He then got the manager. What should have been a "teaching moment" for the inexperienced host, the manager asked us to leave. Said people had reserved that table, Again, there were 6 table around us that were completely empty and there was no line at the door. When you have people getting up and buying their own drinks and bringing them back to the table themselves, not bothering anyone and when you have so many empty tables all around the one we were sitting at, don't ask them to leave, because you say it is "reserved", there was no one else there. Well manager buddy, don't worry, we won't be back and I will tell everyone how rude the host is at the front if anyone wants to go there. He was a jerk! That is not how you treat paying guests. You offer a waitress to come over to take your drink and food orders. When I went to your host post to ask you if we could sit at a lower table, no one was at the host booth, that's why I asked the bartender. Work on your customer appreciation skills. We pay the bills. read more

Looking for a change of pace? Not really interested in a quiet fine dining restaurant or sitting at a loud bar? Foundry Social might be the place for you! It's definitely a restaurant bar atmosphere, but it's completely appropriate for families with kids - although after a certain time on weekends, kids under 18 can't be there. Foundry Social is a restaurant/bar/arcade/bowling alley. There is both indoor and outdoor seating; I'd recommend the patio or outdoors by the fire pit on a warm evening. They have a decent selection of entrees and appetizers. I'd go with the bavarian pretzels or smoked bacon fries to start things off. I'm not a big burger eater, but people at our table enjoyed theirs. The hot dog is good as is the chicken wrap. They also have a great selection of beers and drinks. The tropical mule is my go-to at Foundry. You can play traditional arcade games or Nintendo/Playstation/Xbox set up in the back. I've been twice and the sports games were not working either time - come on guys, fix that! There is also mini bowling which is a lot of fun for the whole family. Finally, if you are into go karts, you can book a race or two next door at High Voltage. Foundry Social is a great place for a family outing, a business gathering, or a group date! You won't be disappointed. read more

Our family of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids) came in this afternoon and had a blast. Arcade games are of 90-2000s nostalgia and are priced very fairly--$6 for a bag of 20 tokens and most games take just 1 token some 3-4. Food was good bar food. Draft beer had a great selection. My wife got a couple cocktails and loved them. We also did the duck pin bowling which was fairly priced and a bunch of fun. The service was great. Jackie was very attentive to our group and the staff at the front desk was helpful when she was busy. Everything was very fairly priced. Split between the two families we spent just over $100 each for almost 4 hours of entertainment, food and drinks. If you're looking for a fun early afternoon place to go for the family, I highly recommend. Seems like past 6 pm it's best to get the kiddos home and let the adults play But it was a solid spot for the family in the early afternoon. When we are back in the area we will see you again! read more

Hmmm, what happened here. Went without reservations, thought we would get on wait list and toss a few back, toss tokens in games and eventually hit the lanes. Wouldn't even wait list us on lanes, no worries our bad, toss a few back and toss tokens in games....... More than half the games INOP?!? Broken... C'mon, put profits back into business YO! And get the little kids off the stage, Chucky Cheese is in Fairlawn, YISH! read more

Terrible service the most overpriced place I've ever seen if yout going to have large prices atleast have good service when I paid one of the guys at the counter he said and I quote "my money now" I'm not even joking this was the worst experience ever the entertainment was good but it had a large price tag read more

Cool atmosphere but the food was awful. We got nachos, tacos, chicken wrap and smash brothers and literally didn't finish any of it.

Made reservation in advance but wasn't too crowded. Food was just ok - got the Nashville chicken and a burger but what you'd expect. Got the pink limencello drink which was good. Service was slow once we received the food and was waiting for our check. Would have preferred silverware as opposed to plastic utensils. Has a blast playing duck pin bowling. Had some issues with it not working properly, but the woman at front desk was very pleasant, attentive and got us up and rolling quickly the two times it happened. Would def come back to hear a band or play again esp in winter when not much to do. Great addition to Medina. read more

We enjoy foundry it's not our first time here but the service was terrible today once being seated an older male bartender near our table helped a few people at the bar and then helped another table then he bussed another table and after sitting there looking at him for 25 minutes he asked us have we been helped as if he wasn't right there not even 10 feet away from us looking at us look at him. Very dissatisfied with the service not even an apology just what do you need? thumbs down not happy at all anyway drinks were good food took almost 30 minutes to get nachos...come on read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday with my family and we waited an hour and a half for our food to come out and it came out cold as ice. Nothing was hot, not even warm. The food runners just didn't have enough pep in their step to get people's food out to them. We barely saw them besides one guy when there' was three of them. Our server was amazing and super attentive to us and I love her but the kitchen can't handle the amount of people that come to this establishment. Don't come here on the weekends if you have a choice. I wouldn't come again for dinner, maybe at night for some drinks and to hangout for the arcade games but nothing more. A big disappoint for this celebration. I should have stuck to Cozumel where they actually pay attention to you and celebrate you. Choose wisely is all I will leave you with! read more

Absolutely amazing staff and service! The food was excellent as well. Cool laid back vibe. Lots of fun stuff to do!

Great food and service love going for lunch with my friend try going once a month never disappointed

Loved the atmosphere and whole concept. We sat outside in one of the little buildings off to the side, which was really nice and kind of secluded. The food was typical bar good, but decent. We ordered the nachos and a side of fries, but we were mainly there for the drinks and the drinks were really really good. They have a good drink menu, so I highly suggest trying a couple. The dessert, amazing! read more
