The Factory
About This Spot
Stepping into The Factory in Jersey City feels like entering a vibrant crossroads where American casual dining meets the spirited heart of Dominican flavors. The space carries a welcoming buzz—an inviting pause in the middle of your day or night that balances lively chatter with laid-back comfort. Though the venue carries an intimate footprint, its warmth radiates in the friendly chatter and the attentive ease of the staff, making it an ideal spot to unwind with friends or celebrate quiet personal moments.
The pace here is comfortably unhurried, allowing guests to savor not only their food and drinks but also the company and atmosphere around them. Whether you find yourself perched at the bar sipping a thoughtfully mixed rum punch or nestled at a small table enjoying plates that marry familiar comforts with rich cultural touches, the mood remains one of approachable sophistication. It's the kind of place where each bite—the crispy tostones, the indulgent lobster mac and cheese—feels like a shared secret and every drink—from fresh sangria to a smooth vodka tonic—echoes a handcrafted, local touch.
The Factory doesn't shout for attention but instead grows on you through its genuine rhythms and heartfelt hospitality. It's a neighborhood spot with a bit of edge, suited both for casual daytime gatherings and more spirited evening retreats. The limited space lends itself to intimacy, making each visit feel personal without pretense. And beyond the food and drinks, it’s the quietly consistent care in service and the easy camaraderie of fellow diners that shape the place most memorably.
Visitors often return, drawn not just by the menu but by the sense of discovery found in the blend of flavors and faces. In a city brimming with options, The Factory stands out quietly yet confidently as a locale where warmth, culture, and community meet in delicious harmony.

Being a local, I seldom visited this bar restaurant, under the impression that it was more of a nighttime hangout. However, my overall experience was quite pleasant. The service was decent and the fritura was particularly tasty. We ordered two bottles, and I found the prices to be reasonable. It’s a good spot for a daytime gathering with friends. The only drawback is the limited space, as the restaurant now appears to be split into two separate areas.

We were looking for a place to eat in the area, it was so good. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Great food at a good price, no matter what you order it's made to perfection. I’m a green plantain lover so I ordered mini mofongo, lobster mac and cheese( is a must) and fried calamari. Highly recommend for an Dominican food experience.

This was a really cool roof top bar. Nice ambiance. Good drinks. The bartender was very friendly but not annoying. The main complaint was that there weren't enough chairs at the bar, which the nice bartender explained. But without question, the best part was the almost 360 degree view of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn from the 18th floor terrace. Just freakin fabulous. If for no other reason, you need to go for that.
