Best bar in Richmond! Everyone who owns the place, and all who work there are top notch!

Now that they're open inside, they have great craft cocktails and local draft beer. The staff is active and the atmosphere is warm and inviting when you're inside or outside. Or in the quiet room. Recommend this place Halley.

I'd like to thank the staff at Factory Bar for helping me out when I had a concussion and sending me home. Great drinks, great staff. I hope to be back when I'm healed up.

tell me why one of the bartenders was extremely rude especially when working in a bar, you'd expect the bartenders' skills to be be A1 and personable to their patrons. After announcing last call for drinks, he said we had a few more minutes. When we decided to order drinks, he said our time had ran out, and that we could only order beer and shots. And at the end of the night, he said we had five minutes left, but a minute later he barked at us and said "i don't know where you heard that from, you have one minute to leave and y'all should be making your way to the door." This was relayed to us at 1:50am but the bar closes at 2am on Saturday night. He was unfriendly and appeared to not enjoy his job. I don't even know why he's working there when he's got a stick up his Uranus. Like who wants to deal with that personality while under the influence of alcohol. safe to say, I will not be returning until this man quits. I gave a one star because our bartender by the name of Eddie was the best person we interacted with that night.

Amazing cocktails, great staff, and chill atmosphere. We rented out the outdoor patio for my wife's birthday. Nicole (the manager) was great to work with. Very responsive and helpful. Such a gem of a bar.

Great cozy atmosphere. And my hot buttered rum was scrumptious.

My boyfriend and I started frequenting this bar soon after it opened. Just because it's hard to find a bar like this in Richmond. I had met the owner and he told me about it. The first few times we went, it was great. Loved the atmosphere and the vibes. The last time we went was the last time for a reason. It was very crowded and I noticed one empty seat at the bar with a beer bottle that was almost empty. I moved it to the side and sat down. The rudest bartender came over and said to get out of the seat because someone was clearly sitting there and that I was being rude. I don't frequent bars every weekend that I would know bar etiquette. Hell, I don't even go to a bar once a month. Maybe once every few months. He could've said it nicely but chose to be rude. Half the bartenders are drunk every time we go and half are tipsy at least. We have not been back for months now and don't plan on it until they get their drunk, unruly, and rude bartenders in check. I just go to Berkeley instead now where they have actually professional bartenders. I highly do not recommend.

A neighborhood bar with craft drinks and a pretty excellent draft selection! Bonus- a beautiful garden to relax and socialize with friends!!! Really a hidden gem!!

I went here for the first time; very clean place; friendly services; good music; wish it had a spot to dance. But overall love the place.

The sweetest neighborhood bar. Kind bartenders. Lots of regulars that are open to new folks like myself invading their territory. I drop in time to time after a night of volleyball. If you're in the area do yourself a favor and drop in you'll be glad you did. Outside food allowed so order a drink and bring some grub.

The Hills of Madagascar cocktail is awesomeness! You can really taste the Naouli Honey from Madagascar
