Fantastic concerts & kind staff. Best venue around for quality live music. Brothers Beyond Description played Allman Brothers music wonderfully. Been attending concerts here, since 1990. Full bar & knowledgeable bartenders.

Tuesday night ecstatic dance and Sunday dance church are the best. This is one of my all time favorite events I've been attending for years. Even before I lived local to Grass valley I would travel far to visit just for the dance. They always have great music, everyone who works hard to put these events on does a great job! Wendy is the Best!! There is a giant organ in the main dance room it is absolutely gorgeous! I really hope they keep these events going!! Supposedly the building was sold so make sure to research before attending. But I went last Tuesday March 2025 and she said the new owners intend on keeping their contracts. Pray we get to keep dancing there!!

Such a wonderful historical old building in the heart of Nevada City and a registered California Historical Landmark. It hosts a variety of concerts, musicals, weddings, festivals and cultural events, that are definitely worth checking out.

The building has great acoustics, an excellent sound system, an expansive hardwood dance floor and a large bar in an adjacent room.

I came for a concert last weekend and had a fantastic time, with pretty much the entire audience dancing the whole time!! The air conditioning could use an upgrade, as it can get quite hot inside when the temperature outside is pushing 100°F.

The Miners Foundry was built in 1855, as a foundry and blacksmith shop to repair and replace heavy mining machinery and equipment in the surrounding foothills. At the height of operation, it employed around 150 iron workers. There are lots of interesting artifacts and photograph on display throughout the building to learn about its place in California history.

So many fun and interesting events happen here! Besides just taking in the history of the building, I've seen awesome shows, concerts and fairs!

Fascinating history on top of a rad music show. I liked seeing the organ and the giant components to the mill/engine. Staff was friendly & quick with the smiles & drinks. I look forward to bringing my family back to this town.

Thank u Miners Foundry for having the best reggae concerts. U keep a girl on her feet dancing like them inflatables in front of car dealerships lol!

A historical building with plenty of reminders and ambiance to remind you of the past. Great place to host an event with the only downside being parking if you are going into a few hundred people.
