No Win at Victory Brewpub Restaurant

I had high hopes for Victory Brewpub because it's beer is so great and because the brand is fun, clever, and well executed.  In a nutshell, the beer brand is everything that the Victory Brewpub is not.  The pub is boring, poorly managed, and out of focus.  In all fairness, and to be clear, my blog review concerns the gastropub operated by the brewing company and not the beer itself.  The beer is very drinkable and the packaging makes a memorable gift when one is bringing a 6-pack to a friend's house.

Now for the unfavorable review.  I went to lunch at the pub on a recent Saturday.  I thought I was in a rundown version of Triumph for most of the lunch.  Definitely the place needs to create its own menu, look and "experience" for customers.

Verdict:  Go to Triumph instead!   You will not be disappointed!  The beer is not as good there, but the meal experience - from food to serving to atmosphere - is masterful!  And, the brand makes sense.  They are into the whole idea of boutique, organic, upscale everyday dining.  The menu matches the craft brew approach and the design.  Enjoy!
