The Foundry at 295 East Dougherty Street, Athens, Georgia.

I've been here many times. The Foundry does an excellent job of providing a first rate venue for local acts and charity events, as well as hosting incredible touring acts in this intimate club especially built out for quality sound and performance. You might find hip-hop or you might find Americana from Texas. Literally, everybody comes to the Foundry sooner or later. The bar is staffed by bartenders who are pros. The beer selection is pretty good, the wine and drinks are standard for clubs that are primarily about music. The food is decent- not the least bit shabby. There is a nice patio for catching some fresh air and taking a break from the sound!
