But rest assured, you are welcome here. Owner Dion Fischer stated, \u201cwe have some weird art and weird music, but everyone loves hot dogs and beer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">Upon stepping across its threshold you are instantly greeted by a memorable visual. The silver walls. The soundless action projected on the walls. The artwork running the length of the building. The two solid arcade games just past the entrance. All of it topped off by a smiling photo of Hoot Robinson greeting you and reminding you of <span class=\"mceItemHidden\">the building&#8217;s history<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mceItemHidden\">Few bars and restaurants are willing to commit to their audience as UFO Factory does, open 7 days a week, 15 hours a daily. It is a space for karaoke. A venue for touring bands. Always offering tasty eats from their in-house restaurant <span class=\"mceItemHidden\"><span class=\"hiddenSpellError\">Laika<\/span><\/span> Dog. Art constantly cycles across their walls and there is no shortage of material to capture your gaze. But most importantly, don\u2019t forget to check out their bathrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you pass\u00a0UFO Factory,\u00a0it\u2019s hard to ignore.
