Factory 52 is such a cool spot - it's the perfect place to bring an out of towner or meet up with friends & family. The area is spacious and walkable, with games and art all around. There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, treats, and shops to visit - and it's super kid and dog friendly! We really enjoy hanging out at High Wire brewing - they have good drinks and good vibes. read more

This place is perfect for all seasons, weather, and kinds of hangouts. I went a while ago for a lunch and to spend some off-time. I first went to Braxton Brewing which is located in the heart of Factory 52 in a seperate building from the food hall. The vibe in there was super cool and hip, and they had very friendly service. The drinks were great and it was nice to sit outside at the time. It was pretty slow but it was a Friday mid-day. I then went to the food hall to look around and see what they had. There are a ton of options! I landed on Shango's and got some really good nachos. They had the perfect amount of toppings that didn't overpower the flavor. The bar inside the food hall is super cute and I am intrigued to try more drinks from them later, but this time I got a gin and tonic for a quick drink. It was very well made and good. I really like the vibes at Factory 52 and I think it is the perfect place for so many different occasions such as doing work, going out, or spending time with friends. read more

Factory 52 is a great place to visit with friends and family in Norwood. First off, you have two breweries to choose from, Braxton and Fretboard. Both breweries have nice outdoor seating areas. The green space is the central area for events, watching a game, or just letting the kids run around. There is also a food hall with a multitude of delicious food options. Off of the green space there are a few shops. There is a small rock climbing wall for kids. If you have a dog, there is a dog park with separate areas for smaller and larger dogs. To top it off, Factory 52 also has a Jeni's Ice Cream. read more

Factory 52 - Getting a little festive for the holidays - Food Court Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

There is a lot going for this location. Food, shops, sports, bars, lawn, housing. It feels a little like a suburban oasis. They have expanded quickly and my hope is that they continue to diversify the options-maybe a movie theatre, mini putt, or even dedicated walking trail. They do have free parking (for now), but most of it is hidden behind the shops, so be patient when finding a spot. It hasn't grown to be a one stop shop experience, but it is definitely worth a visit. read more

A great place to gather with friends and accommodate anyone's cravings. There are plenty of places to sit, any type of food you want, and clean bathrooms. I will be returning here in the future. read more

This is a great place to come and hang out on the lawn.... Braxton/High Wire brews and Fretboard brews flow. The main building has several eateries and Jenni's ice cream is here. Parking is on site and free. Tonight we are sitting on the lawn area watching a free performance from the Shakespeare crew from downtown. read more

Food is still doing well. We come here very often. The bathrooms however (lately) are less than acceptable. Usually no towels, trash on floor, and 1 of 3 soap dispensers actually working in (men's room) upstairs. The upkeep has definitely been lacking the last few times. Also the lack of a coffee spot being there anymore is sad. The previous one went out of business, but had VERY odd hours of operation. read more

Factory 52 - Bathrooms - Food Court Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Remember when there were malls? This is like that, but with more outside. Sure, the shopping options are limited - but they make up for it with offices and living spaces. The Gatherall is their requisite food court and offers a nice selection for the eclectic eater. Looking for a little sport? Check out Aces Pickleball. Add a dash of breweries, a bar, and a little green space, and it really does have much to offer. Even the parking situation isn't bad. read more

Been to lots of places like this before in other states but what caught my eye was how nice was everyone at all their different stations. The food was good and they have various options for vegetarian and meat eaters from the places we got food. After we settled with our beers, the cupcakes, and a delicious bourbon slushy, a young man started singing. We did not know they were going to have live music and it was so enjoyable. The beer was great, the cupcakes were delicious, and the fried snacks we got from the Korean spot were good as well. If I ever visit Cincinnati again I'll keep this place in mind. read more

I am absolutely loving Factory 52! This is such a great new mixed use complex where you can enjoy multiple forms of entertainment. From breweries, to all kinds of food, shopping, events, live music, and it is easy to park and navigate (parking is free!). There is still some construction going on but I do not find it to really take away from the experience. Oh did I mention the dog park? (Not quite sure if this is only for residents though). I have Yelp thank for drawing me here for many events since opening and I continue to come back other times as well. The last time I was there I noticed people hanging outside of Jenis just playing board games! Some of my favorites include Hi-Wire with their rooftop patio, Fretboard brewing which often has live music, Jenis ice cream of course, and inside the Gatherall there is so much great food including Trophy Pizza, Shangos, Decibel chicken, and Phat bahn mid! There is a really cute coffee shop too, but im always there later in the day past my coffee hours. You can also find live music and various events taking place in the courtyard. read more

This was a fun outing for the entire family, including both sets of grandparents, to enjoy a leisurely lunch from different vendors, watch the Hip Hop folks enjoying dancing in the sunshine, and to learn a bit of Cincinnati history. I'm so glad that part of the factory buildings have been saved and restored/repurposed. read more

i stopped by factory 52 mollys cupcakes the other day and honestly it was such a treat. the vibe of the shop is cozy and inviting, and the staff were really friendly without being over the top. i tried a few of their filled cupcakes and wow, they did not disappoint. the red velvet was perfectly moist with that cream cheese filling hitting just the right balance, and the pumpkin chai was seasonal perfection with a warm, spicy kick. i usually don't go for filled cupcakes but these made me rethink that. prices were fair and portion sizes generous for the quality. i'm giving them an 8 out of 10 mainly because it was a little busy when i went and had to wait a few minutes, but honestly the cupcakes made the wait worth it. definitely a spot i'll be coming back to and recommending to friends. read more

Ok, this is a really cool place! Those of us old enough to remember the heydays of the mall food court will love this! So many different cuisines under one roof. Don't like what your friends are having? No problem! Order something different from your table! Want to just enjoy a night out for drinks? Again, no problem - two breweries and a couple of cocktail bars have you covered! This is a mixed retail/living/dining/shopping development on the site of a former playing card factory. There is patio and outdoor dining areas when the weather is nice, as well as green space. Just a cool vibe all the way around. Will definitely come back again, worth checking out! read more

My Mr and I have visited quite a few times and love the vibe of this place. We even took my Mr's parents here last year and they seem to love it. Before it opened, I heard rumors that they are using the old card factory for a brewery but come to find out, they expanded it to something more! They now have apartments/lofts in the area . You have breweries, gatherhall which are different restaurants in one building. Kind of like an element eatery. They also have pickleball, events and bands that perform on a weekly basis (depending on weather and season). There's so much here! Don't worry about parking. They have it in the back, in the front, the garage and street parking. It is not limited. There is something for everyone here and really like the landscape and views. Definitely a spot to check out and with visiting. A great addition to the Norwood area. read more

Our group from the Y are lunch today at The Gatherall (food court) of Factory 52. Lots of varied choices for lunch, all with a $10 lunch special. Most of our group had pizza from Trophy Pizza. It's the closest to New York pizza that I've found in the Cinci area, and others agreed. Service is at the counter of each establishment with common areas for seating. All areas, including the rest rooms, were clean and well maintained read more

Absolutely love this place! Very new and such a cool concept. A large modern food court with such a variety of options and seating areas. I ordered a chicken shawarma from the Mediterranean restaurant and it was incredible! It came with fries and everything was reasonably priced. My friend got the loaded fries from an Indian restaurant and loved them. There is definitely something for everyone and such a cool area! Would highly recommend checking it out. read more

Fun fun fun! They've got anything you want! This is a wonderful community space indoor and out door!

This place has it going on! It's seriously an entire complex of awesome. It has everything you could ever want in terms of a space like this. Amazing food and drink vendors of all shapes a sizes like the famous Jeni's Ice Cream, I believe two breweries, Gabriela (an amazing Filipino spot you gotta try), a coffe shop, and more. There's also some cool local shops and a business dedicated to pickleball. There's even loads of parking, so on a busy day fret not! Fun fact - It used to be a playing card factory, hence the giant card structure outside. There's a few other cool works of art as well. Every time I've been the ground are pristine and the space is very well kept. If you're ever in the area, definitely pay it a visit. There's seriously something for everyone. read more

This was an unexpected great experience. Great atmosphere, so many good options. We will be back soon read more

Great selection and location in Oakley / Norwood area. Went before Homerama at Foundry Park with friends.

I haven't had a chance to explore this area and what is going to be available at this Norwood location. For any local people this looks like a place that's a cross between Elementary Eatery and summit park in Blue ash. Newly built apartments surround a large indoor outdoor area of a few businesses so far. The Gathering is a large building that so far has Decibel -Korean fried chicken Fretboard (brewery) location below Lucious Q- Soon to come pizza place In the center behind Hi Wire is Jeni's ice creams (smells wonderful)!! read more

Went there for Fretboard Brewing and to get food from different places in the food hall. Disappointed that Fretboard is on a lower level because my wife is in a wheelchair. I had to go down there to grab a beer and then we found a table upstairs. Would have had more than one if we could have gotten there easily. read more

I could give this place all 10 stars. It is such a hidden gem I say so as it's a new development and is such an amazing one. So this is an entire block spread in many different buildings serving a food hall, coffee shops, ice cream place, breweries and much more. Along with a huge playground in the center. It has some thing for everyone. It's super contemporary and modern and instant fall in love kind of place. I can only imagine how this place will thrive this summer. So my experience here was we went in with kids. After some free play at the ground we went in to the food hall and tried a Korean and Filipina eateries both were great. The food hall has many options do go on their website to check out more. Weekends lines could be long as lots of people are newly exploring this place. The food hall does have sit down option. Later we grabbed coffee and the kids got the legendary Jenis ice cream. Next time I do intend on checking out their breweries. Lots of parking wrapped around the place. I definitely recommend this place. Can't rave enough about it. Go check it out for yourself. read more

The eclectic Food Booths found in this place are great! The service was very friendly!

Very cool concept! I love the fact that they repurposed the old factory building instead of tearing it down and building a new one. Food was good. Atmosphere unique. They had multiple types of food and live music. Loved the additional outdoor spaces as well. There is something for everyone. Very cool place! read more

Have had many great experiences at Factory 52! I've been visiting since original opening and it's been a blast to watch the spaces here grow and more businesses come in. It's great how they mixed in architecture from the old factory with new modern touches. I've visited Jenni's multiple times, Hi-Wire as well as Gatherall on numerous occasions and enjoyed tasty food from Decibel and LuciousQ. We love all the outdoor seating options and the green spaces available! The only downfall is the parking as the parking garage is very tight due to big support beams from the old factory. Excited to continue to visit this great location in Norwood! read more

Met a few friends here for dinner. I came with my BFF so I at least had fun. If you haven't been to Factory I will start by saying it is worth the trip for something different. It is like going to a mall food court only, but with really good unique food options. The place is very clean great parking and the huge playing cards outside are very cool. So if you don't know bicycle playing cards were made here and it has been converted to a unique food court offering. I highly recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. read more

So cool!! My new favorite place to meet up with a pal for coffee, lunch, or a stroll around the grounds! It's still under construction in parts, but it definitely worth a visit now.

Love the cool vibe and decor! read more

We love how they've kept the essence of the US Playing Card Factory by incorporating everything "cards" related throughout the area. From the Royal Flush bathroom area & the giant cards as an open hangout area to the murals & art throughout. Even some of the restaurants have dishes or drinks named appropriately to fit the theme. Lots to do & still building as of August 2023- can't wait to see where this place will be in a few years! read more

What an awesome spot to be! We went to the Vintage Market, not knowing what this place is. I had no idea they built something like this closer to home. If you need a comparison I would say it's like Summit Park in Blue Ash, except way more food and beverage options. They are still building a ton so right now some areas feel a bit congested. All the employees I interacted with were very patient and kind given how busy it was with the Market happening. Can't wait to come back and see what else they add. read more

I really like this new area (still under construction). It's like Summit park had a baby. A few shops, ice cream, cycle place, nail salon, pickle ball courts for rent at Aces, breweries, coffee shop/bar, food court with a full service bar in the center of the food court. What more do you need? Nice to not have to always go to OTR/downtown. We got options..... Yeees read more

Love all the different choices and the outdoor space. Fun to let kids play. The outdoor bar is very convenient.

This visit was awesome. It was a beautiful day, sunny with a breeze. The outdoor activity was in full swing, families all around, a band, and an outside bar. The service at the bar was friendly, fun, and attentive. I was so happy to see it in its full glory. I did not eat this trip. Next time. read more
