Found out about this hipster restaurant in Sterling that has some kind of industrial theme to it. It certainly has a kind of out of the way location. The Factory Pub N Grub is found among old factories and warehouses. Among the more interesting places to drink and eat. You can get cheaper beers along with a few vegetarian choices so great stuff.
Coming here the first time it wasn't crowded. It's got a bigger than expected interior. The bar is in the middle and there's plenty of tables. A great thing is they have discounted beers. It's about $2 to get beers they're trying to get rid of from previous events or whatever. A lot of the menu is meaty. Still there's a few plant based things. It's about $15 for an Impossible Burger. This comes with the usual burger toppings.
Great place with an industrial hipness about it. It's closed Sundays. The menu is meaty but there's a few things for vegetarians.
