| - Never in my life had I ever thought that fine dining and football would ever mix. But they come together in a place that will excite the lads and entice the ladies. The Football Factory refers to soccer, known everywhere else in the world save North America as "football", but I'm guessing in terms of names, the "Soccer Sweatshop" didn't really do much to entice. This place is new, and it provides a combination of two worlds you never thought you'd ever see collide.
The décor is modern and very contemporary, a far cry from the beer-soaked carpeted pubs that you're used to watching matches at. TVs adorn every wall and booths have their own television sets so that you can select the match that you wish in private. Soccer is the main broadcast but if needed, a TV can be found to put on whatever your heart desires; hockey, baseball, "My Name is Earl". WiFi is also available for those that wish to "work from home" during Champions League or UEFA Cup games.
The menu, though all over the place in its focus, is spectacular with dishes coming out of the kitchen hot, flavourful, and presented very artistically. This is not a place that you'd expect to get fish and chips, but you can. Also on offer are steak frites, duck dishes, and paella. Once the shock of the juxtaposition of soccer and succulence wears off, you'll find this place to be a beautiful sanctuary to watch the beautiful game. Or if you don't fancy, find a booth, ask for a remote, and watch episodes of "House". I don't judge.
