The Foundry

The Foundry, located at 530 S Broadway Ave in the heart of historic downtown Salem, Ohio, blends a classic American restaurant with a vibrant arcade bar. Guests step into an industrial‑styled space featuring exposed brick, neon signage, and rows of retro arcade cabinets ranging from Walking Dead Pinball to Pac‑Man Multigame and Big Buck Hunter. The menu showcases comfort‑food favorites such as the signature Foundry Sampler, pizza knots served with marinara, loaded nachos piled with seasoned ground beef, chipotle ranch and sour cream, house‑made fried cheese wedges, jalapeño poppers with ranch dip, crisp fresh‑cut fries, warm pretzel bites with nacho cheese, and 5‑ounce steak bites with a savory sauce. The venue stays open for dinner and late‑night gaming, typically from 4 PM until 2 AM, offering a casual price range from $8 to $20 per dish. Diners can enjoy the lively atmosphere, with the clatter of arcade buttons, the glow of vintage screens, and a full bar serving craft beers and cocktails. Whether you’re a family looking for a fun night out, a group of friends craving hearty bites and competitive gaming, or a couple seeking a relaxed spot with nostalgic fun, The Foundry delivers a memorable experience.
