Gathered here with friends, over great cocktails, to discuss our voter pamphlets - issues and candidates. Highly recommend it!

Went to the Factory Bar Saturday evening with a friend and had a lovely time. Music was great, drinks were delish, and the staff were very attentive (shout out to Michelle and Cory!) Hope to be back soon.

The vibe here is great. Cool decor inside and out and there is a lot of room for big and small groups. The beer selection is good and the specialty cocktails have interesting ingredients and are generally tasty but lack the “punch” that I expect in good cocktails. The ratios always seem slightly off. Overall, they are not bad but hope they can be more spirit forward! I appreciate that you can bring food here as well.

Fantastic drinks, friendly bartenders, comfy with plenty of different spaces. My main issue is that service gets chaotic when the place is busier, and almost impossible once the music in the main room starts.

I was here on Saturday, opened a tab, then settled it in cash - and still got my card charged the day after. Probably poor communication between bartenders, or someone was running receipts that night and slipped up.

Dope atmosphere, but I wish the bartenders knew how to pick thru the crowd better and were on the same page as a team and charged the same and had a basic system to make an old fashioned. Every one I've had is different and has needed adjusting.
Casual feel with a neighborhood bar energy.

This place is the locals' spotlight off the main street. No parking, you will need to drive around the corner in the neighborhood to park if there is no street parking.

GREAT SPOT! GREAT patio, especially on a sunny afternoon! Lots of non-alcoholic/mocktail options and n/a beer. Bartenders were all really kind!
