The Foundry at the AC Hotel Opens Today

By

The city of Dayton has a rich history of generations of laborers in foundries, the factories which produce metal castings. The strength, grit, and fire of these workers were the inspiration for The Foundry at the AC Hotel, featuring one of the best liquor programs in the state along with internationally inspired cuisine and hearty American favorites.Made for Dayton locals, or those local for the day, we invite you to come as you are: in your cocktail best, or jeans and a t-shirt. Enjoy our rooftop patio  and the sun setting on our sixth-floor rooftop.  The view of the Dragons games will be awesome from here.Chef David Belknap, a Columbus native, who started in the business washing dishes, attended the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, worked under Chef Thomas Keller and his three star Michelin-starred PerSe in New York City and and also appearing on an episode of Chopped.  At The Foundry he “aims to test the limits of Dayton’s dining scene by expanding palettes and introducing new favorite flavors.”
