"At Foundry, guests can throw back craft beers with quirky names like the Naked Mexican, Franky Four Fingers, Van Hunks, and Jack Black. Housed in a great part of Johannesburg called Parktown North, the gastropub is a favorite of locals in the know, meaning that if you want to come on a Friday, you’d best make a reservation by Wednesday morning. In addition to beer, there’s a wide range of food, from mussels, barbecue ribs, and spit-roasted chicken to burgers, mushroom ravioli, and wood-fired pizzas. Add to that a warm, lively ambience and you have the makings of a great night out with friends."

Absolutely amazing!! Their food is mouthwatering delicious and they drinks are lovely. I had the pork ribs and they are officially my favorite. I also had their cocktail, "a cup a tea, please." and it was super delicious and I loved the presentation of the drink. The place has such a great vibe and atmosphere and I was so happy to spend my birthday here. It was so special that they brought me a desert and sang for me too. I would Defineitly recommend this place and I cannot wait to return to it.

Had my parents meet my in-laws the first time here. Helpful friendly staff, DELICIOUS food, decent portions, and very well priced. Jem of a restaurant, definitely coming back. The orb shots were so cool!

The Foundry, according to the talk of the town some say its been around forever - which is impressive. It's one of the few places that open on a Monday, so if crowds aren't your vibe this day is your day! A fantastic place with a great atmosphere, and the back wall is a rustic art piece that should be admired. The menu is short but complex that offers a lot on it. I've only experienced amazing food and cocktails (hint: the teapot for the gin lovers😉) here. The small details like very different plates and designs for your different courses, and meals is a cool idea that I appreciate. It's a place you have to try if you come to this area often...😎

Friendly service staff, good & tasty proportions that are reasonably priced (also, I absolutely loved the onion rings!) The cup-a-tea-please is too cute. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Makes sense why this place has been around for so long.

Great neighborhood restaurant with a mixed menu and tasty beer list. We had the burger and a 1/2 kilo of ribs and enjoyed a few pints. The service was great and the restaurant had a nice outdoor patio to relax and soak up some sun.

Fantastic; we had a late lunch here, and it was amazing. I had the pork belly, and my partner had the fish and chips. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the lunch, the service was great in a really nice relaxing environment. I'd definitely recommend coming here and look forward to coming back (p.s definitely order the pork belly).

I really loved this place. The ribs were fantastic (and cheap in comparison to other restaurants) and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It’s on a great street with lots of other activities - the weekend that I went there there was a weekend market (stack 32 I think) where there were food stalls, a live band and some lovely thrift stalls too.

Foundry has a cool bar area and nice restaurant, gets quite vibey and has a new menu, we opted for the sharing platter which was a meat feast with sticky ribs, tangy wings, succulent pork belly strips, lamb koftas and pumpkin fritters. Was decent. Grwat selection of beers local and craft as well as cocktails and wines. Screens for sport and a great spot to meet up or take in a long slow lunch or dinner.
