About This Pub
Ah, Factory 15 – what a delightful little find in the heart of Barking! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with this peacefully welcoming atmosphere that's just perfect for mingling with a diverse crowd or catching up with mates over some truly cracking drinks. I love how they've nailed the events side of things, whether it's hosting up-and-coming artists, comedy nights, or even your own bash – the space is so flexible and the team there are always on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly. It's got that creative edge, inspired by its bigger sibling MAKE IT London, which really shines through in the intriguing lighting and comfy setup. On the flip side, it's a tad out of the way if you're not local, and while the drinks are spot on, you might want to keep an eye on the costs if you're planning a big night. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone seeking a break from the usual pub scene – go on, give it a try and see why it's earning such high praise!

Factory 15, what a great event space. I’ve previously done events here personally and as part of a wider collective. It has such a beautiful aesthetic, comfortable furniture, intriguing lighting & great staff that are accommodating & helpful.
I would definitely recommend everyone to come do their events here or just to come and check out the bar. It has great selections of beverages too to your liking.
Been here twice it's an amazing venue. I cam to support a friend who was singing, and she set the crowd off. Always good vibes and good people. In the summer they have food trucks outside and drinks are strong.
Good place for upcoming artists.
