Victory Tap

“My wife and I have been coming to Victory Tap for the past couple of years, and it’s easily our favorite restaurant in Chicago. We’ve celebrated almost every special occasion here, and over time it has truly become our little piece of home away from home. The food is consistently incredible, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and every visit feels special. What really makes this place stand out, though, is Danny, our waiter. He has taken care of us so many times that he genuinely feels like family. Danny always makes sure we’re completely taken care of, goes above and beyond, and his fantastic hospitality makes every visit unforgettable. He’s personable, funny, and professional—dining with him is always a highlight of our night. Whenever we have family or friends over, a Victory Tap night is top on the list. We’re so grateful for all the memories we’ve made here, and Victory Tap will always be our favorite place to celebrate life’s best moments.”

“I really liked the food here. They have phenomenal Italian food. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and my friend had the eggplant parmesan. Honestly, the eggplant parm was way better so I was a bit jealous, lol. They had 4$ draft beers during their happy hour. Their selection was not huge, but well thought out to have a little something for everyone. It is a bit on the pricey side if you are looking for seafood, but not outrageously so. The environment is also quiet so it's very easy to talk. A big plus for me! They also have party rooms that you can reserve, though I haven't done that so I don't know the process there.”

“Chefs request. This Griglia Misto was super delicious. I met the head Chef Rafael today; he was super friendly and kind. He asked me what I liked to eat and I said I was there for the happy hour. The fact that he took his time to meet me was priceless. I’m a people’s person. I love shaking hands. We need more Chef’s like him. I love Victory Tap because their hospitality is above and beyond. I always sit at the bar. Yaya, Adam are the best bartenders I have in the Southloop. Super attentive and friendly, and Eric the bar back is always making me laugh. I hope this staff never changes. I love them all and give them credit for being in this industry. I came from bartending/serving in restaurant and hotels years back and it’s hard work. Thank you guys!”

“I had a great experience here. The food was delicious and the service was truly excellent—the staff is friendly and really goes above and beyond. I especially appreciated the generous portions and the spacious seating; it’s nice to have a meal without feeling like you’re sitting at the next table’s conversation. The decor is tasteful, though the lighting was a bit too dim for my taste. I actually had to use my phone flashlight just to read the menu! Aside from the lighting, it was a wonderful visit.”

“3.5/5 stars - Ordered the ravioli with marinara, though mine came with the vodka sauce though I didn’t order it with the vodka sauce. It certainly didn’t taste like marinara. Since it took awhile to arrive, I was hungry and decided to eat it anyway, I didn’t feel like waiting even longer if I sent it back. The sauce unfortunately didn’t taste like anything, the ravioli themselves tasted okay, I feel like it could’ve been cooked a bit longer. The free bread with garlic and Parmesan was excellent, loved the margherita appetizer pizza. For two people - two glasses of wine, one appetizer and two entrees with tax and tip was $80 seems steep but outside of the tip and tax it seemed reasonable for Chicago prices. I would’ve liked to have had my ravioli with the proper sauce. I tried my husband’s lasagna and compared it to my sauce, I definitely somehow ended up with vodka sauce instead of marinara.”
