The Foundry SF

My partner and I had a wonderful time at the Illuminations event. The artwork was spectacular, and we even looked up a few of the artists to see if we could buy some of their work for our home. We also loved the themes of all the exhibits and how the information was presented in a concise yet informative way.Our favorite part of the exhibit was talking with the other patrons and discussing the themes and ideas presented. We also loved how interactive everything was, and especially the cocktails, which were delicious. We did a ride share to the event so I can not comment on parking availability.

The Foundry is a large space for gatherings. I attended the Illuminations event hosted by The Plenary. The exhibit was well thought out, with the intention of provoking thought and challenging our confirmation biases.Topics included:Tipping rooted in medieval timesDiamonds are a huge marketing schemeThere is no such thing as left and right brainGroup think is also labeled "an imaginary"Loved the books that the exhibit drew inspiration from. Read a few already, but also added a bunch to my to-read list. The cocktail selection was also nice.Looking forward to more events of this kind.

I attended the "Illuminations" art and science exhibition and it was such an engaging experience. The focus was on current issues and how they shape our futures. It was thought-provoking and carefully laid out. I appreciated the artwork and the thoughtful narratives. My boyfriend and I ordered the drink, "Imagine That" which was gin, honey, lemon ginger and Prosecco. We enjoyed our drinks on the top floor absorbing the exhibition below. We were also lucky to find street parking close by.

Thought-provoking. Illumination show. Many things we know but will we do something different. Will the millennial take the lead? If the concept is that believe is only a believe, we need to follow something different. Who will lead? Who will organize? Corporation run things and destroy over greed, how do we address. Lots of questions, but are there any answers. Just a suggestion, improve music. the music was loud and more club vibe. I couldn't concentrate and think or meditate in this show.

Got tickets to event in Oct, is hard to find parking on Sat afternoon. Cute set up inside with art, also has 2 bars available for special drinks.

Nice place to hang with a groupEasy parking around - nice staffDrinks were good - bathroom was clean

The new sound system is amazing! This is one of my favorite new clubs in SF. Their day parties are really fun too.

Great spot for an event - private or public -- This space offers two bars w/ ample standing, strolling, and stumbling room! the cocktail menu is is crafty and chances are the people watching equally interesting. Cheers

This is for the Juan Gabriel candlelight tribute. You can't do a tribute and not do his top hits. Many in the crowd were expecting an encore when they started breaking down the equipment. Hard to understand, it's like doing a Neil Diamond tribute and leaving out Sweet Caroline. Drinks were about $15 each and the pours precise. Adds up.We paid for A seating. Rather expensive and I'd recommend just getting regular seating. Pretty much all the same

I've been to the Foundry on many occasions since it opened but it's been a few years since I was there last. Went last night for David Harness' (one of my favorite local DJs) yearly Mighty Real Thanksgiving eve party. Was really looking forward to it, only to find that the party was confined to the small front area and the huge event area was screened off. Seriously?? WTF?? My apt is bigger than that. It was really weird and awkward so I left after about 10 minutes. What a waste of money. $14 for an early bird ticket plus $30 in round trip Uber fees only to end up at home in front of the TV. My last experience at The Foundry wasn't anything to write home about either. I won't go back.
