The Forum Lounge

We had a good time here. This establishment is recently open and we wanted to hear from live music. The spot is not too far off the 202. Location is deep in a commercial neighborhood of Chandler. Parking was easy. We were seated close to the stage. Since the place is new we, they were giving baby tours. Inside they are attached to a sports bar. There are also several karaoke rooms available for rent. Near the stage is a VIP room that is open and can be rented out. For food we tried a range of things: wings, sushi, and onion rings. Overall good bar food. We also grabbed a few drinks for the table. Drinks moderately priced. Live music was good. They had a nice band playing from 6pm to 9pm. Overall we enjoyed our evening. If lived in the valley would maybe host a special occasion here in one of the karaoke rooms.

So let's start with the good:The bar is nicely decorated and staffed with friendly and conversational team members. The live music was fabulous!Now the "what it's not"; a restaurant. The food was "ok" for bar food. The restaurant is dimly lit and the music very loud (cause it's live....duh). Drinks were also just "ok" for $13 a piece. So, if you're going to get a well drink, enjoy some music and dance, then this is a fun place to be!!!

I was really excited to try this place due to having live music and a classy lounge vibe however, once inside the right side of restaurant lounge area it felt very cold and very basic seating, no cozy lounge type booths or tables. The music only had a small area you could dance but it was in front of all these low tables thus blocking their view as well as being watched by them awkwardly. The high top tables closer to the bar didn't seem to fit the vibe. And on top of that I was mid bite and mid-meal when the server demanded we move quickly and started removing silverware and glassware from our able saying our "time was up"??? After leaving the high top ving very disheveled and not finding a seat at busy bar to finish my meal I ended up having to discard of it. My friends said apparently the table was reserved...but still they should have given us more forewarning and moved us more kindly as well as perhaps offering to box up my food or ensure another open seating option.I left an hour earlier than planned because this place was just NOT it. I walked though the other side of the bar on my way out and it's very sport centered w tvs if that's your style, but I wouldn't go here for that personally. There was one fire pit w seating for maybe 6 that looked cozy if you were fortunate enough to grab it for the night though...but apart from that and nice clean large bathrooms, I left very dissatisfied.

I made a reservation a week ago for Valentine's Day. In my reservation I asked for a low table because the high chairs hurt my legs. When we get there, we were sat at the last table in the back at a high table. I told the hostess I made a request for a low table as she said we're overbooked and can't move anything around. I said what was the point of putting in that request. She said I don't know but I can't do anything. She said I'll see what I can do. Her "see what I can do" was going back outside to host. Are never came back. So we left. I'm pretty disappointed with this experience. Being overbooked should not be the patrons issue when.

Not a place if you're looking for dinner it's so,so bar food chicken tenders, sliders that only have cheese on them and a little spread. Street tacos they did have live music no one who we asked that worked there knew when it started.everyone that worked there was new. The atmosphere was quite nice. We were hoping for a nice dinner before some nice music and drinks

Solid venue for entertainment, sports, and great food. Stoped in for the first time tonight and had a great time with my wife and college friends. The live band was amazing and the veggie California rolls were great. Oh! They have great drinks there as well. Looking forward to going back next weekend.

I cohosted an event there for the cost of $300, plus a cart of lemonade an iced tea that they "require" you to purchase for another $300. At the beginning of the event the large screen TV in the event room caught on fire and I had to grab a fire extinguisher to extinguish it. The event was disrupted and had to wait for the fire department. I lost attendees that couldn't stay because the time would go way over and it was a disaster. The Foundry refused to issue a refund or even a discount. I will never be back and certainly never do an event there

Whenever we took the road from the inside to reach Walmar we have seen this place. We finally went on a Friday night. This place had live music and people were dancing. The vibe was really good. The crowd is decent and the ambiance is pretty neat. The only downside is this place is hard to find for anyone who hasn't explored the area or local to the area.We ordered couple drinks and starters. The drinks are pretty good, the cocktail specially well-made, the lounge and the bar area is attached, the lounge closes at 11, but the bar is open till 1 AM and we can take our drinks. They have happy hours and brunches on weekends. Totally looking forward to hanging out here. Definitely love that it's local and so close.

I came here to scout the place out for future events. This is an outing I'd bring my friends to, the range for VIP tables are affordable. Inside and out you can tell there was a lot that went into this establishment.

If possible, Aliya NEEDS a raise. Phenomenal service and made sure our night was fun! We had a guest count of about 20 and it's easy to get overwhelmed and she was not! At least she didn't show it. I will make sure to ask for her anytime I go in.
