When we heard some early positive buzz about a new hangout spot-cum-watering hole called Factory Bar in Malad’s chilled out Orlem community, we decided to check it out. The smartly-themed resto-bar, owned by self-confessed corporate-slave-turned-entrepreneur and Orlemite, Anna Albuquerque, opened less than a fortnight ago (Halloween, October 31). And the elaborate drinks and food menu is accentuated by the sweet sound of karaoke which is a favourite with the guests almost all of whom are from the neighbourhood with everyone seeming to know everyone else in here, when we dropped by on Saturday night.
