Victory Liquors: User Reviews

Awful experience!

Went for a friend’s party and will NEVER go back! Not only was it freezing and windy inside, crowded, and overpriced, but the DJ was incredibly rude and upon being asked to give a shout out for a friend’s engagement he toasted to her divorce! Definitely not going back.

40's Fridays!

Came here last Friday and had a good time. Music was good playing 90's hip hop and they had $5 40's. Great time.

It's Okay

There are good things about this place and bad things, unfortunately I think the bad outweigh the good. First of all, the burgers are amazing! They are the exact same as the burgers served at CJ's in South Bend and they are delicious! I am really glad they fixed the bathroom situation. The bad things are that it is either insanely crowded or practically deserted. The DJ is terrible. The music is WAY too loud and it's really crappy pop music usually. I would recommend going there to watch an ND game but not for much else.

Had a great time this weekend

I went to Victory this weekend and had a awesome time. The bar was packed and the music was great! Most importantly the girls were out of this world. I've never seen so many hot girls in one place. It was a little slow getting drinks but its what you'd expect when theres that many people. I'm definitely coming back. i noticed their weekly specials look pretty good. Thursday is half price drinks so i'll have to check it out.

Bad

A bunch of us went to Victory Liquors to ring in the New Year and it was horrible. Huge line to get in. It took a half hour to get in; they only had one guy working the door. One bartender taking orders at most of the bars and the food was horrible. Not what I expected for $70/person. I don't think I will ever go back there; especially for new years.

Mixed reviews....

So, I think the key to this place is to be a regular.
The first few times we went, the management was very rude (some still are) and the service was questionable. The food was abysmal (when they finally got the kitchen up and running), and the DJ obviously didnt care one iota about football because he kept playing music well after the game had resumed.
BUT, we kept coming back (fotball will do that to you), and now we are "regulars". And, Suprise!, the service is much better.
In their defense, the food has also gotten better, and now that they know us, most of the management team is very nice (though there are 1 or 2 that still just dont get it ).
Sidenote: I do not advocate treating regulars differently from regular guests, but I am hoping they (the managment) come around to treating everyone equally because this place is not that bad.

This is a poor excuse for a "ND bar." The service was horrible. If you really want to go to a bar to watch a ND and get GREAT service then go to McDunna's Bar and Grill,

1505 W. Fullerton Ave. Much more fun and the staff will treat you with respect, which is more than can be said for this place.

have a lot of TV's which is great for a sports bar but if you are looking for a place to go dancing this is not the place to go
