Neat, modern, industrial atmosphere with lots of space. Friendly service, lots of space and games to play (Cornhole, badminton, ping pong, darts, etc). Drinks are a little pricey ($10-$12, but very small).Food: n/aAtmosphere: 5Value: 3Service: 4If you found this review helpful, please click to show your support.

This place is NOT Permanently closed! It was quiet on a Sunday afternoon, and that was very enjoyable as I could hear the conversation. I had a whiskey Manhattan and anther drink with vodka that reminded me of a White Russian without the Kahlúa.

Came here for a few drinks on a friends birthday. All in all a neat place, there's plenty of games to keep you occupied, the drinks were delicious and the alcohol was good quality. I feel like it was a little pricey for the drinks and I'd probably rate a little higher if they had appetizers or some kind of snack, but they don't mind you ordering in which helps!

I visited Royal Foundry for a networking event. I planned the event myself and was super excited to show off the facility. I worked with their events manager, Stephanie, and she gave me a fantastic deal on renting their back room. All of the staff here are lovely and super easy to work with. They are always accommodating and are very great hosts. The facilities are so open, clean and crisp. I would have all of my events here if I could. They have more than enough seating space with room to spare. They have skittles (a lawn game similar to bowling), badminton, foosball, darts and more. And better yet, they're all free to use. Punch Bowl Social? We don't know her. Drinks here are a little expensive for my taste but it was a work sponsored event so I didn't care too much but if I came on my own I would probably limit myself to one drink. This evening, I tried their "The Professor" which is an herb gin with brown sugar and a rosemary sprigs and lemon peel as garnishes. To be honest, it had way too much alcohol in it for me, I couldn't even finish half. But this wasn't enough to take away from the experience. We also had the event catered with pizza and the staff were very accommodating with that as well. I got my butt kicked in badminton but I had fun and a gin in my hand while I did it. I would highly recommend this place for a night out with friends or as a spot to visit with coworkers. Be warned, they only have bar snacks and no actual food but food trucks are sometimes parked outside. Their parking lot is also very small. There is a ton of street parking but don't expect a spot in their lot to park.

Great place to hang and have a few amazing cocktails with friends. The cocktails here are well made each time. Never had a bad drink, and most of the time the drinks are decently strong. Plenty of space to stretch out and have conversations with your friends. Staff are amazing people. Would highly recommend spending time here. Also, when the weather is nice, great views of downtown Minneapolis from the patio!

What a wonderful spot! Amazing outdoor space, the friendliest staff, perfectly flavored drinks, various COVID friendly/fun activities and the cherry on top...easy parking! Every drink I had was perfect; light and refreshing! I'm a vodka lover and the Royal Foundry doesn't disappoint! If you like vodka and a soccer this place might be heaven, they open early for premiere league viewing parties! (check them on IG for times)If you haven't visited, your missing out and should stop in ASAP!

RFC is FUN. Royal Foundry is fully Brit-centric. British decor, cocktails, and even games are abundant! Who knew going somewhere to sip a few cocktails could result in watching a live Badminton match and playing a couple rounds of Skittles?They distill their own gin, rum, vodka, and single malt whiskey. They even make their own tonic and soda in-house too! I tried their expertly crafted cocktails (I like The Professor) and straight-forward G&Ts, and they've been balanced and served by friendly bartenders.You can play Badminton, Skittles (bowling with wooden candlepins), sip cocktails at the cool bar that is reminiscent of an underground subway station adorned with Bowie posters, and more. Skittles was fun and free! You just trade your license for collateral. They also have some snacks, like Von Hanson's Pretzels and unique popcorn flavors (prawn cocktail popcorn, anyone?).

Came in on a Saturday night after dinner to check this place out with a couple friends. Love the atmosphere this place provides. Ample seating, lots of indoor activities from British hand pin bowling, bags, badminton, ping pong and darts all for free. They weren't too busy which was nice, not sure what crowd this place really draws in cause the business wasn't booming but there were a couple different large groups in, which this place is perfect for. Drinks were decently priced around $10-$15 for cocktails, I think it was $8 for just single pour plus mixed cocktails, soda is free refills, and the music they have going is good! Loud enough to fill dead space but not too loud like you're at a club. For sure would return for the friendly service and great drinks! Pro tip: this place doesn't accept cash so be prepared for card only!

Hadn't heard of this place, and then realized that it had just opened a few weeks ago!This place will for sure move up on my list of favorite distilleries. They have maybe 10 or so crafty cocktails on their menu and our group tried a couple different ones. The group consensus was that the "Party Thyme" and "Black Knight" were our two favorites. Drinks were about $10-12 a piece.The area is huge--plenty of tables to stand or sit at. They also have a large room in the back, which currently has nothing in it, but I could see it as a great place to host events (if that's what they choose to do with it). One of the coolest parts about their space is that they have three lanes of British bowling/skittles. Super fun for a group of friends. We can't wait to come back!
