LOCAL favourite, The Foundry in Aberdeen, has reopened its doors to the public following an extensive makeover, bringing a fresh and modern ambiance to the heart of the city. The transformation, backed by a substantial £277,000 investment from Stonegate Group, the UK’s largest pub company, signals a shift from a sports-focused pub to a family-friendly food destination, catering to the diverse tastes of the local community.
The interior of The Foundry has undergone a vibrant makeover, with warm hues of copper, red, and orange creating a cosy atmosphere. The seating has been upgraded to comfortable booths, providing an inviting setting for family gatherings or casual meetups with friends.

Mark Joseph, General Manager with over 12 years of experience, expressed excitement about the expansion of offerings. “The Foundry is a friendly venue offering delicious food, great drinks, and unforgettable experiences.
