| - We recently had a large meetup at the Victory Cafe. Only a couple of people from our party had been here before, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Upon approaching the cafe, which is located in a mostly residential neighbourhood, you'll notice their very attractive patio that wraps around the older building. Inside there is a bar and a few party rooms, both up and downstairs.
This is a bit of an older building, but I adore the dive like feeling. And the place was actually clean, including the washrooms, which you can't say for a lot of venues in the city. Inside there are two HD televisions at the bar, and one in the party room on the ground floor. Our waiter had never actually turned on the party room television, but did manage to get it working for the Olympics. And although we didn't sit at the patio, it looked like one of the better spots to be in the summer.
Our party didn't have much to eat, but the nachos we had were pretty tasty. They didn't skimp on the cheese, peppers, or jalapenos, but I wouldn't say they were to die for either. The drinks selection was okay, but not extensive. Enough for our group by far however.
Service was excellent, and our group was checked up on frequently. Our waiter did seem a bit put off that we weren't ordering more food, but we did off set it with our drinking by the end of the night! Overall, our waiter and bar staff were very friendly.
If I'm in the neighbourhood, I'll definitely consider just dropping in once more and maybe trying the food this time. But for a group of 15-20, it is a pretty nice place to sit and relax. Recommended!
