About The Factory Bar

The Factory Bar is a local gem just off the main street, where parking might require a short drive around the neighborhood. Known for its charm and quirkiness, it offers a taste of Oakland or Berkeley without the travel. Regulars enjoy the welcoming community feel, diverse crowd, and solid cocktail menu that includes unique ingredients and a great variety of cool names. While some visit for live music or comedy events, others appreciate the relaxed atmosphere for socializing, playing games, or unwinding after work. The bar features an outdoor patio, which is a little oasis with heaters, allowing friends to gather comfortably. Guests can bring their own food or have it delivered from local options like El Tucan Tacos or a food truck out front. The vibe is chill, with music playing, and different seating areas, including a large patio decorated with wooden benches, high tables, and chairs. The cozy outdoor space also has a private event area and speakers around the perimeter. Drinks are good, though cocktails are a bit on the tiny side, and the menu offers a variety of beers, liquors, and other beverages. Parking remains a challenge with a small lot and street parking requiring some driving around. Visitors can bring food from nearby restaurants or food trucks, making it a flexible spot for hanging out. Whether to watch a game, enjoy a night with a DJ, or simply relax with friendly staff, this neighborhood bar promises a good time for both new visitors and regulars.
