Wyckoff Avenue has become prime real estate for Bushwick’s burgeoning bar scene. The Factory is the bustling avenue’s newest addition; the new bar is gearing up for its grand opening this weekend.
Nestled just east of the Myrtle/Wyckoff train stop, one might walk right past The Factory’s unassuming facade (the entrance is actually on Madison street, not Wyckoff) if not for its bright chalkboard marquee, promising cocktails and an enticing happy hour.
When you enter The Factory’s large industrial double-doors, you’ll be dazzled by its rustic charm. The bar’s old-world appeal doesn’t happen by accident. According to The Factory’s manager, Rina Samson, the theme was inspired by a vintage photo that was representative of quintessential 1940s Brooklyn. “We’re trying to preserve the history of Bushwick,” Samson told Bushwick Daily. “This building was a factory at some point in the 40s, and we wanted to use decor from the same year the building was built.”
