Here is how Critiki described Foundation:
"For years, Foundation has been a sleeper hit. Owner Don Nelson brought his bar into its current tiki-encrusted state over time, with a big assist from local carver Dave Hansen. It took a while for the rest of the country to catch up with what Milwaukee already knew: Foundation is world class tiki. But word has been out for a while now, and more folks are going out of their way to visit Foundation. If you’re considering a trip, they’ve made it even easier, with a tiki-themed Airbnb directly above the bar."
Congratulations to Foundation!!!
