Here’s what’s up with the Foundry …
The Foundry, the club at 26 Wyandot Street in downtown Dayton, has indeed closed it’s doors according to owner Jon Neidert who spoke to us earlier today over the phone saying that the “club is for sale.”
Neidert said the club closed last month after it’s liquor license wasn’t renewed. “The city objected to our renewal and a judge denied our stay,” said Neidert who cited it as the reason for closing.
The 12,000 square foot club which opened on Valentine’s Day weekend in 2004 offered visitors an industrial atmosphere with 40-foot ceilings, concrete and steel bars and a dance floor that could accomodate more than 300.
Saying he wanted to focus on the positive, Neidert said about the space, “I think it would make a great establishment downtown. The city should get behind new businesses opening.”
“We poured out heart and soul into the place and I hate to see it sit there vacant,” said Neidert.
