Reviews for Foundation Tavern & Grille in Chicago, IL
Pretty good food. Went there while there was a live performance. Not a good performance imo, made worse by audio being way to... loud. I was not able to communicate with those at my table. The live performance finished and it switched to normal pre recordedmusic and I was able to hear the rest if my table without issue. Live performances are a good thing in general but more workneeds to be put into the AV setup. Read more
This is such a nice place to eat and drink. Jay the server is amazing! Never had service like what he provides. His attention to... detail and friendliness is far above all others. I will definitely be back and will tell all my friends. Read more
I held an event at Foundation Tavern and Grille in early August, I had a great experience and highly recommend them. We were... allowed to use one side of the restaurant exclusively for our guests, and I was able to use their A/V system to share aslideshow. The food was fantastic, we had an assortment of flatbreads, vesuvio chicken, tenderloin sliders, potatoes, Tavernfries and salad. Working with Gil on the planning details was effortless. The waitstaff, especially Jay, made our experiencereally special. We felt welcomed and never rushed, the atmosphere was perfect. I'm grateful to the people at Foundation forhelping to make my event memorable. Read more
Went to see Pistol Pete perform at this unassuming, down-to-earth bar/restaurant. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food... was great - large portions and arrived promptly. Drinks are reasonably priced. A great night out! Read more

We?ve been going to foundation for quite a long time now and everytime we go it?s a great experience. The live music is always... amazing and the customer service at the bar is fantastic. Everyone is so attentive and friendly. Robbie is the best! Thethursday burger special is my favorite! They?re so good! Overall Foundation is a lovely neighborhood gem. Go for a drink andsome local tunes! Read more
Food and drinks were GREAT. Had a little dinner getaway time with my husband (without the kids). I love the bricks and vintage... feel of the space along with a stage. We enjoyed liver performances that didn't overtake the small space but rather created moreambience. The waiter was lively and truthful about the menu gave good suggestions on food but didn't know about IPAs. All andall good times. Read more
Well, it's hard to believe this is the same place now that it has changed hands. A change of ownership has turned an absolute... dump into a wonderful little place to grab a bite and a drink. They were a bit short-staffed the evening we went there, but hadsome fabulous drinks and great food. They had live music that evening as well and it was very enjoyable. Much better than theaverage bar food, and the drink options were unique and plentiful. Hands down one of the best mules I have had! Parking is alsoreasonably good in this area of the city. Lots of street parking, but metered with a 2-hour max. Read more
