“We had a great time at the Foundation Room.”
We had a great time at the Foundation Room. The decor and atmosphere was very nice. Employees were kind and always checking if you need anything. We didn’t get any food but the drinks were great. We tried the old fashion, margarita and botanical spritzer.

“Went for the Thursday night stand-up comedy.”
Went for the Thursday night stand-up comedy. I enjoyed myself. I had the loaded fries. There were a lot of flavors, some that didn't exactly mesh together. I really liked the venue, there's so much to look at. It's very ornamental

“Definitely recommend upgrading to Buddy Rail seats on the edge of the GA floor.”
Definitely recommend upgrading to Buddy Rail seats on the edge of the GA floor. No wait in regular line outside HOB. Exclusive access to the Foundation Room private bar, food, lounges, and bathroom 1 hr before openers. Check in with ID for VIP and then your tickets to get into show. Vampire den vibes. Well worth the upgrade.

“One of a kind hideaway in the house of blues.”
One of a kind hideaway in the house of blues. The decor is amazing, all the attention to detail in the design and history of the rooms is so interesting. The service impeccable from the servers to the mini tours and stories about the place. The food was good whether you want a shareable app or an entree. Really a top notch venue.

“What an amazing hidden gem.”
What an amazing hidden gem. A VIP venue within the House of Blues on the 3rd and 4th floor. Super cool decor throughout. Favorite was the quick and easy stops for drinks or the bathroom. They also had a DJ after the concert ended and continued to throw a party. What a fun experience.

“Ambiance is beyond cool.”
Ambiance is beyond cool. The food was perfectly cooked. Best chicken ever juicy and savory. Vindaloo tacos were possibly the best tacos I’ve ever tasted. Dan was incredible and provided some great conversation. Service was perfect.
