I've been living in Riverwest for 17 years and I've been going to the foundation bar ever since. Drinks are good, but the change is service-style sucks. No longer sitting at the bar with bartenders and watching them make these great drinks. Hopefully they change that and their personality when they serve you.
Amazing tiki bar! One of the top 5 tiki bars in the country… little neighborhood gem. You can’t really find this type of thing in other states, so please appreciate what y’all have!
Great ambience. Acceptable place. Probably expensive drinks. Unfortunately, our drinks did not live everything the foundation had to offer. The Dark and Stormy simply tasted Boozy and had no other recognizable taste. The Jamaican Sour tasted like Barsaurier. I am over fifty years old and enjoy many kinds of drinks. These had no complexity or depth. If I think Tiki, I think of a refreshing fruity drink that I would enjoy on the beach. I was hoping the foundation would take me there for a while.
One of my favorite tiki bars. Great atmosphere, tasty and very reasonably priced cocktails. Will definitely go back
Beautiful and well decorated place with an extensive beverage menu! Love that the drinks are categorized to easily distinguish the fruity from the stronger spirits. While their cocktails are strong, there are also funny cocktails on the menu, so there is something for everyone. Limited seats inside, and there was a waiting time at 7:00 on a Friday night. We came back about 2 hours later and sat immediately. Maybe it would be difficult to get a bigger group in, but if your party is smaller between 2-4 people, it should be quite easy. Intim enough for a date night, but also fun enough for a night with friends, Foundation is definitely worth a review at least once!
