The Foundry

Great café/​record store/​bar/​live music venue in Fortitude Valley.
Have only checked out café/​record store part so far but keen to head to a live gig soon too.
Café serves Blackstar Coffee and light breakfast menu. As its a record store, you just know the tunes are going to be great too.
Take a load off on the couches or chat with friends over a drink before browsing the vinyls and band t-​shirts. Turns into a bar in the evening. Really friendly, chatty staff– lovely vibe! Get along and check it out.

Came here as part of the media/​industry launch night and left very impressed. As you enter there is a old fashioned red telephone box and staircase that leads to the main room. The main room has a stage at one end and a bar at the other with the classy ‘Foundry’ lit sign above. In between are large high tables and high chairs which make it great for groups. Near the bar is a pinball machine and arcade game which is pretty cool and there is an outside area as well as a balcony smoking area. The whole place had a very cosy, hipster vibe and they played excellent music. Servers were friendly and drinks were made well. This place is definitely going to be popular so I recommend you come and check it out! Great drinks, great atmosphere and great live music, what more do you want?
