He always has a smile on his face. By the end of our first night, we felt like regulars. My girlfriend and I first went in there because it is very close to our house. For a lesbian couple small town bars are not always the most welcoming places. We showed up around midnight, after a movie. There were about 6 other patrons. I headed for the ladies room. Some guy at the bar was like," hey that's the ladies room!" I stuck my head out the door and said," I know, thanks." When I came out he apologized for his mistake, bought me a shot and the rest is history. Every night at Ed's we always meet interesting people. We feel very fortunate to have a neighborhood bar that is so great, and is within stumbling distance of home.

Extremely Disruptive and Disrespectful…read more This bar has become a serious problem for the surrounding neighborhood. The unruly behavior from some of the patrons, including people arguing and causing disturbances out in the streets, has been incredibly disruptive and frightening for my family. We are trying to sleep at night because we have jobs and responsibilities in the morning, yet we are repeatedly being subjected to loud arguments and disturbances outside. It is especially upsetting when this behavior scares my children in our own home. I understand that bars can be busy and people are going to have a good time, but there needs to be some consideration for the families and residents who live nearby. This level of disruption is completely unacceptable and has seriously affected our quality of life. I sincerely hope the owners and management take responsibility for what is happening outside their establishment and address it immediately. If this continues, I hope the city seriously considers whether this business belongs in a residential area at all. We deserve to feel safe and be able to sleep peacefully in our own homes.

Looking for a super cool bar in the Richmond area? The Factory Bar is full of Richmond pride,…read morelocated off San Pablo Ave. Upon walking in, your greeted by security carding patrons (it's been a while since I've been carded, haha) and you can begin noticing the nodes to Richmond in art, decor, collectibles, and sips. It was a beautiful weekend evening and we sat in a room adjacent to the main bar in super comfy lounge chairs. This room is where karaoke and other events take place. There's great ventilation, and it's just quite honestly a great space to chill with friends, and also observe all the fun Richmond memorabilia. We also sat in the outdoor space, a super nice garden area that is well-kept and a great option to enjoy on these beautiful sunny days. I had a watermelon margarita and it was so fresh & tasty, I thought it was already summer! Friendly staff and environment filled with regulars and newcomers alike. They seem to have food trucks regularly, and we ordered food to-go from the Brazilian truck outside. Deliciously unique! There's also a few spots nearby you can bring food in from (an ice cream/waffle shop next door and Tacos El Tucan too). We took a ride share, but street parking is available. Looking forward to coming on an event night to catch the local vibes.

Walked in because I heard music and wanted a sip before I complete my day. Door man was pleasant,…read moreand that's where the customer service ended. I stood at the bar listening to TWO bartenders chat up "regulars" a minimum of 4/5 minutes before anyone recognized me. It took so long the door man had to assure me "they would be with me shortly" The bar might have had 10ppl sitting at the bar and only me standing. It was far from busy. After getting my drink, I sat and watched the staff engage with their friends while work seemed to be a bother. A friend walked in and I offered to buy him a drink, I once again stood at this not busy bar with 2 bartenders for what seemed like a very long time before anyone took my order. Once the elder bartender took my order she proceeded to make my drink, then let my drink stand while she made 2 other drinks, delivered them, before delivering mine. Super rude. Maybe I'll be back one day, maybe not. There's way too many options to deal with bad basic customer service.

The vibes are relaxed, there are plenty of pool tables, great service and everything is well-maintained, no warped tables or damaged sticks, which is honestly huge. Tables are a good size, there's plenty of space even with a group, and it's easy to settle in for a while. They also have a full bar and food, which makes it a solid go to for a casual night out. Definitely a fun place to bring a few people and just enjoy the night.
