About The Foundry

The Foundry is a club and concert venue at 1425 Folsom Street, at the corner of 10th Street in SoMa, San Francisco. It occupies a light-industry warehouse built in 1936 in the Art Deco and Art Moderne style, with a streamlined facade, steel-sash windows, exposed trusses and a concrete floor. The venue is run by people from the teams behind The Faight in the Lower Haight and Same Same But Different Fest, and it is operated by Folsom Foundry Music LLC.
