Foundry Is Coming to Davis Square, Somerville

 

A new restaurant, lounge, and theater is coming to the Davis Square neighborhood of Somerville, moving into the space vacated by a home goods store.

Based on information from one poster on our Twitter page and another on the Chowhound site, a sign is up at the old Bowl & Board location on Elm Street for Foundry, which, according to Grub Street Boston, is going to be an American brasserie with a speakeasy lounge and a theater that will handle everything from comedy shows to music to children's theater. Foundry, which will be run by the same person behind The Independent and Precinct Bar (both in Somerville's Union Square), is expected to feature a raw bar, more than 30 beers on tap, and 100 bottles of wine from which to choose.

Right now, it appears that Foundry may open sometime in the late summer or fall.

The address for this upcoming restaurant, lounge, and theater will be: Foundry, 255 Elm Street, Somerville, MA, 02144.

This will be a reopening of the Jimmy Tingle theatre, and that is indeed awesome for Davis Square. When entertainment venues are clustered together geographically, it's good for all of them.

I agree with Ron. While I don't know what makes a bar "raw" or a lounge "speakeasy" I welcome a bar/restaurant space that will offer a stage for live entertainment.

I assume he means this kind of raw bar.
