City Foundry STL

I absolutely love the concept of the St. Louis City Foundry. The transformation of the old foundry into such an artsy, beautiful space is impressive. The outdoor area is great, and there are plenty of food options inside to choose from. We had a fantastic time there and will definitely be back.

This place has a little bit of everything from shopping, food to entertainment. The Food Hall has just about any kind of food you might be craving with plenty of indoor or outdoor seating. The Museum of Illusion is a must do, the cost is very affordable starting at $20 per person. Amazing mind bending illusions to enjoy and take plenty of pictures. Alamo Drafthouse has box-office blockbusters, classics, to local productions, a place to see and celebrate movies of all types! The City Winery offers concerts, live performances, comedy, etc... while enjoying a a glass or three of wine from their large selection. They also offer upscale dining. Sandbox Virtual Reality Where you and the family can fight zombies, explore a haunted mansion, or go on a space mission. Putt Shack offers high tech putt putt that keeps track of your score, there's also a restaurant here. Their retail stores are unique and offer shopping for accessories, clothing, art, or groceries. While we were there, construction was underway for a residential tower. I bet they'll be upscale, beautiful and expensive.

This was my first time there, and I was not disappointed. I ate a 4Hens Cajun Chicken. I ordered the Mardi Gra and the four piece wings and fries. Please don't try and eat this by yourself. They give you a lot of food. My friend and I shared, and it was worth it. They had live music playing in the courtyard. If you are ever in St Louis, check it out. Thank me later. I forgot to take a picture of my food. The Mardi Gra had fries, chicken, shrimp, sausage, and crawfish.

Tons of places to go.. food areas, shops (not my style but my wife liked them), and some activities. Both of our meals we got were just alright for the cost though. Wish we could have tried more places but we were already full. Some outdoor seating available.

We ate at The Food Hall. You walk in and it’s pretty industrial. There’s multiple food choices. You have mac & cheese grilled cheese, burgers, shakes, pizza, salads, sushi, among other things. Long tables with lots of chairs. There’s a family restroom and two large bathrooms for men and women. It’s a good place to go when everybody wants to try something different. There is plenty of room. The only diaper changing table is in the family bathroom which if occupied leaves you to wait. Which was the only real drawback. Below is the history of the building. Which I got online. We were curious about the history of the building because it is very industrial and looks like it once was some sort of an industrial building. “What did the city foundry used to be? The City Foundry STL stands on the site that was once the Century Electric Foundry complex. Part of manufacturing and industrial scene in the mid-20th century.”

The ubiquitous concept in every city now and this one doesn’t disappoint. Huge space with plenty of seating, even on a busy Friday night. Likely something for everyone based on the variety of cuisine on offer. Even a small bar in the middle. Indoor mini golf and some stores selling clothes, shoes, etc. Our favorite stall out of the many we ordered from was the Indian street food spot!

The food was amazing! A group of 11 went, and most of us ate at different vendors. Vendors are all very nice and helpful. It was loud but I liked the live music they had.

It's kind of a mall..ish. inside, outside great use of the space! We had a couple of local beers at the Kitchen Bar. The staff was friendly and attentive. We sampled a few brews on tap and the bartender was game for trying out a mix of 2 brews on tap. How fun! We had adult grilled cheese from Steve's Meltdown. I had War Figs, trust me when I say it was a delight with the fig sauce dip. The fries are absolutely a sharing size.
