About This Pub
Ah, Foundry Project in Harrogate – what a gem it can be for a good old night out with friends. From what I've gathered, the staff really go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome, like that chap Leo who was super helpful in one review, or the team that nailed a hen party for another group. It's all about the music, food, and that electric atmosphere, especially with their plans for big brunches and live events – sounds like they'd sort you out for a proper knees-up. On the flip side, though, it's not all perfect; a few folks have mentioned the food coming up short, with small portions or bland tastes, and drinks that might stretch the budget a bit. Plus, if you're after a quiet catch-up, the music could drown out your conversation, and it does feel like the place has slipped a notch or two over time. Still, with such a strong overall buzz and plenty of positive vibes, I'd say it's worth popping in if you're in the area – just keep those points in mind for a balanced experience.

Great bar! Good music and atmosphere, Leo served us and was super friendly and helpful :)
Friendly staff and good food, great night out
The new food menu is a third of what used to be. My chicken fingers were small and had no flavor. I guess they are trying for a drink only atmosphere. I had to get a refund for my glass of wine that was supposed to come with meal but did not. Sadly this place has continued to go down hill until it reached bottom. Will never return.
Had my hen party here and they couldn’t have been more accommodating! Jody and Jade were amazing sorting my booking and Jayden was awesome on the bar! Would fully recommend anyone coming here for an event or just a casual night out
Lovely place, food was delicious. Food prices were reasonable, drinks seemed a bit expensive but looked nice and tasted good. Music was OK but a little too loud so it was hard to talk. Atmosphere was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall I can recommend this place.
