foundry is still very good. 

it seems like some items on the menu have shifted a bit.  no more "fried veggie" appetizer, which sucks.  i tried the "ninja stars" the other day and they were quite delicious - basically crab rangoon with blue crab (not much of it), cilantro, and a red chile sauce.  veg burger is my favorite in town. 

also, it is open until 3am every night and has a pool table.

it's never busy, which sucks.  it is tasty, locally-owned, and a cool space.

I still haven't gone back, but I did try One80 the other day, and had a better experience.

i was excited to check this place out a few weeks ago, but i was kinda disappointed by the kitsch. aren't we 30-somethings done with that already? i don't remember what i had, but i was really disappointed to see a total amateurish approach to wine on the menu. riunite? um, kthxbye. it's almost as back as blanc insisting you purchase wine only in half-bottles.

I love the space, but hate the uber hipster crowd on the weekends.  :(

Sure didnt do to much for me.. Confused with there decor on what they want to be and the name? what does a want- to- be hipster pseudo sports bar have to do with a Foundry?..nice beer list..maybe if I sat outside sucking in some of the ambience of westport it would be better..Would try again if Ethan was bartending.

As a single-issue bar patron, I will happily overlook the Foundry's service hiccups, ambitious pricing, and strange decor for their beer. At the moment, the Foundry has Kansas City's only cask beer. That's an automatic +500 points.

They just call it a "Scotch Ale," so it must be made next door at McCoy's. I love watching a cask beer being poured. The hand-pump! Real Ale!
