Located on the grounds of The District of St. Louis in Chesterfield, The Factory became the area's first new venue built in the Midwest from the ground-up in more than 40 years. In addition to being named the region's "Best New Venue" by the Riverfront Times, locals deemed it the "Best Live
Music Venue," "Best Concert in The Last Year (The Roots)" and "Best All Ages Venue." It was also the runner up for Riverfront Times' "Best Rock Club" category.
The Factory is committed to giving back in 2022. The venue connects with a new St. Louis-based charity partner every two months through its Push Up For People campaign, where patrons are able to add suggested donations to their bar tab to contribute to the organization. From the beginning of December through the remainder of January, The Factory has teamed up with The
Angel Band Project whose mission is to use the power of music to provide healing, raise awareness, and promote positive social change for survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence. February and March proceeds will support The Kaufman Fund to support the Veteran community. Unique items from The Factory's performers will be collected for a year-end raffle to benefit all of the venue's charity partners.
On a national level, charity organizations such as Conscious Alliance, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, Backline and HeadCount are promoted throughout the venue to encourage event attendees to give back.
