We stopped in as we hit town. Inside was loud so we sat on the patio. It's a great outdoor space, but the mosquitos were horrible! We ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad. Our food took 40 minutes +! The staff was friendly, but not super attentive. My fries were great, but my chicken sandwich was not hot. read more

Was anxious to try this place, sounded like a cool joint. What a disappointment. The place wasn't really that busy (inside), lots of empty tables. Still took a while to get waited on. Our server was nice, but she must have been a hummingbird in a previous life because she didn't stick around very long. She dropped off menus but then didn't wait to take our drink order (we were ready). She came back for our drink order but then jetted off before we could give her our app order. Later she dropped off food and skedaddled before we could order a second round (which we had been ready for for awhile). Food? Meh. It was bland. Took 45 min after ordering to get to our table. The philly cheese steak. More steak than cheese and wasn't prepared remotely like a cheese steak. Large chunks of steak, not shaved. The ambiance was kind of cold, not very inviting. And the bar is a very weird set up. I'm not sure what this building was in a previous life, but if someone designed it to be a restaurant... I'd ask for my money back. Two starts on the drinks. They weren't horrible. read more

this place needs to find a new location and not near a residential area! when they have bands there it's way too loud, i can hear it in my house till midnight!!! read more

A great spot in Victoria!! One of my fave places in town for brunch as they have great options for both food and drinks. There's a cute outdoor area that's perfect for a nice sunny day to hang with friends, kids, even pups! The service has always been great - the servers are helpful and attentive. Aero Crafters also has live music some nights. Definitely a good spot to check out! read more

Food is terrible we went on 2-15-25 around 6pm. We had the jalapeño poppers and the pulled pork. The pulled pork was so dry inside the jalapeños. And the Mac attack was just Mac and cheese with chicken fajitas on top nothing to brag about. Fried pickles were undercooked and soggy. The atmosphere is nice but the food is so bad. We also had to go get our own drinks no servers outside. We will not be going back anytime soon. read more

Aero Crafters is a great establishment. Depending on your income, they're not overly expensive, but it is relatively easy to get a decent check amount after 2-3 food choices alone. That being said, it is most definitely worth it. I've been a few times (the most recent being a day ago) with some friends. I can't wait to have a better paying job, as a friend and I are looking to make Aero Crafters our once a week hangout. The lighting and atmosphere is welcoming with no blinding lights. The music choice when played is really good and sends me back to some nostalgic choices. The staff is respectful, attentive, and kind. I typically get their Rueben Egg Rolls; I can't get enough when paired with the dipping sauce they offer. My recent visit I tried their Fried Pickles (extra crispy), paired with the egg roll sauce and I was not disappointed. Lastly, I would definitely partake in their cocktail menu. I am not one to drink alcohol except to be social, and even that is rare as I'm picky. Despite this, this establishment always has me eager and excited to either purchase one of my favorites (currently it is the Lemon Lift Off), or trying something new. Even if you don't see a classic drink listed, it doesn't hurt to ask -- my friend ordered us both a Long Island Iced Tea, which wasn't listed, but it didn't disappoint and was the first Long Island I actually enjoyed. For extra measure, even when trying new drinks, there's always hits and misses; I don't mind the misses I might take here as they're still pretty decent in some shape or form. Wonderful establishment that provided consistent, pleasant experiences. read more

If your looking for a friendly knowledgeable staff that is waiting to help you...go to Aero Crafters. Food is delicious and I love the fried piggies. The outdoor area is great for live bands or just to sit and catch up with friends. Good job guys and gals!! read more

Aero Crafters - Beer Gardens Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Pros: lots of tap beers, many craft. Some daily specials so check before you go to find the best day for you. Cons: Nothing vegetarian - not even a patty burger sub. Doesn't open until 4 many weekdays, and if you go on Wednesday for craft special, be prepared to WAIT while they change the kegs to the new beers. read more

This is my favorite place to go to in Victoria!!! AmazIng staff! Great food. Wonderful selection of wines, craft beer on tap or bottled. Great atmosphere in front, inside and the back entertainment area. They host great events too. Their Facebook page shows what's going on. Website is top notch on the menu and what they have to offer!! Pet friendly read more

The food is always filling! Service is prestige!! The environment is laid back and active. read more

Aero Crafters - The aviator heaven is the go to beer snack for me!! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Victoria, Texas

The service was so bad. We waited for 10 min for a server to tell us she may or may not be taking care of us and then another 10 min for her to come back and say "I guess your stuck with me" so it took around 25 min to get our first drink and that's exactly how the rest of the night went with her. One table behind us sat down and was never once serviced so eventually got up and left. But the second they left a server went to put their menus up. So if you saw them why didn't you help them?? Really bad. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the food is good and eventually the manager came out on the floor and started making the girls work. read more

If you like beer then this will probably be a decent place for you. I was looking for a cocktail bar and this came up as the number one cocktail bar in Victoria. Yeah, it's a no go for cocktails. They have 5-6 signature cocktails and a handful of seasonal cocktails. Here's the thing, if it's one your menu then I assume you know how to make it...and make it well. I understand the craft the bartending is truly an art it's not for everyone. If you're not getting beer it's a whiskey and coke place pass on the "cocktails". Measurements or ingredients- or both - were off in all the cocktails I tried. I will say that their beer/cider/wine flights are pretty cool. My friend commented that the beers and cider were a little flat and not very cold but that's something that can be fixed easily. I will say that I'd come back if I just wanted to have a glass of wine or a beer they seem to be a good place for that. Also, their outdoor area looks like it would be a lot of fun in the evening (when it's cooler - it was nearly 100 degrees when we went). read more

Waited an hour for our food. Got tired of seeing no food come from kitchen. Gave up and paid for drinks and left. So sad because we have wanted to try them for quite a while. read more

My husband and I are new to the area and we were recommended to try this place and we are sooo happy we did! My husband was really impressed with the beer selection and I had the ruby slipper and it so good! The food was amazing as well! I recommend the jalapeños!!!! Our server Katelyn was very friendly and attentive and super cute. We can't wait to come back! read more

waited almost an hour to be acknowledged and then still didn't even get drinks on our table. We only had patience for so long cause my kids were playing outside, otherwise, we would have got up and left sooner than we did. read more

If you're looking for a weekend get together during the day with family, stay far away! Website clearly states, "There is no fee to reserve an area or tables during normal operating hours." However, Mr. Mike "I'm Grumpy" Brewer says no matter what, during the weekends, it's $20 a person to reserve even a table, regardless if it's an 8yr old or your 70 yr old grandma who doesn't drink. Dumb. I even offered to pay a flat fee of $200-$250 just for a few tables and then the drinks on top of that for those who drank, nope. read more

Went tonight on date night with my wife. Nice atmosphere outside. But we ordered our drinks, appetizer, and entrees all together. Then waited an hour. Then when the food came out my wife's burger was completely room temperature. They fixed it but it was annoying after waiting an hour The food was good but the wait almost ruined it for us. Be warned they don't have a full kitchen. They cook all of their food in a food truck. read more

Good atmosphere and craft beers on tap. One waitress working hard while everyone else working stood around watching. Beer took a while to get. Food much longer. Tacos were good. Fish and chip bland and warm, not hot. Was passing through. Would not stop in here again. read more

I dont know why I have not reviewed AeroCrafters as I have been a couple of times, but I am sure it is because I have had a pretty good time when I go so I guess I forget to. I think their beer selection is good I ordered a flight once with a friend and it was all right but Im not really a beer drinker. Their aerorita is pretty good. It has blueberries! It hits the spot on a cold day. Regarding the food I cant recall what ive ordered but I am pretty sure all was good. Since I hate cold rooms sometimes I choose to sit outside on the patio where live music plays. You can't go wrong here. read more

First visit and I enjoyed the choices made for dinner. The ahi tuna tostadas were amazing as well as the spicy sweet sprouts. I wish the lobster Mac-n-Cheese had more chunks as mentioned. But it was still good. I had all three, and that was enough for me. I'd visit again. read more

Great food! Great drinks! Love the atmosphere and the staff is always fantastic. Try the sliders, ahi tostadas, fried piggies, and truffle fries! read more

Food wasn't the best was asking around and somebody told me they'd have a nicer selections of food like the food from the coast of Mississippi where I'm from. Well not the case started with the wings and loaded fries, and unfortunately that's where I stopped. Everything taste like it was cook in old oil that needed changing. The wing sauce was just that. Not much flavor to it. Services was alright I was waited on by like 4 different people. Food took like 30 mins to come out though. read more

Really disappointed. We have been here a number of times and normally enjoy ourselves. Today after being ignored and then finally flagging down a waitress, she sent a big guy with an attitude to the table. It was ridiculous. I was shocked at the unprofessional treatment. We won't be back. read more

Fantastic craft beer selection. They give samples, so they help you get the beer flavor you're look for. Great staff. Food was very good. We'll be back. read more

I just paid $16 for a barrel aged stout that I could've bought at Spec's for $4. OK. You got me. Don't think I'll be back.

We came for drinks and discovered that there was a cover charge for a band. After a couple drinks and visiting inside, we decided to head out to hear the band we had to pay for... been waiting 30 minutes for their break to end... read more

Love love love this place! Great beer, great music, and amazing staff!! Everyone is so friendly and happy to serve you. This is one of my favorite hangouts in Victoria! read more

Great bar with plenty of seating inside and out. Love the aviation theme! Beer selection was well above average for Victoria. Food was good, and reasonably portioned. I ordered fish and chips, and it was very good. I'd rather have modest portions of good food than huge portions of mediocre food, and this bar seems to get that. read more

Some really good craft beers and wine . Atmosphere is really cool. Nice place and the outside patios are nice as well. Live music on the patio and food . The reason you did not get that five star is because me and my friends did not think we received a good pour of wine. Very small amount for the price and not the average pour we get at other places. read more

It's all about that customer service and our waitress was excellent! This place has Cool vibes & atmosphere, and a great craft beer selection! There was definitely a team effort to help when our waitress was busy someone else stepped in to help-This is something you don't see very often. We will definitely be back! read more

Beer selection was very well done The wings were breaded and I ordered hot They were blan with little or no sauce at all The pretzel was warm but lacked the mustard flavor If you are going to serve mustard with a pretzel then use the appropriate kind. Good beer and beverage place but food I would not order. How hard is it to make good wings read more

Been twice, once on a Friday and once on a Saturday. Really cool place for day drinking but they don't open until 4 on Saturday. Also the service is terrible. On Friday we sat in front and the waitress couldn't tell us what beers were on tap. Saturday we sat in the backyard and the service was absolutely nonexistent. If you're sitting in the back, be prepared to go get your own drinks. 3 stars for atmosphere. read more

We went to try this place out on NYE as a pregame to Moonshine, but we never left! Our waitress was amazing. She helped us pick out beers that we would probably like and gave us a "menu 101" because of how many different sections there were. She even made the countdown special by putting strawberry "pearls" in all the girls' champagne flutes for the toast. It was really different for Victoria and service was better than anywhere else. Her name was Cassi or Cathy but she had blue hair and kept us laughing. Plus, the bartenders made some really great drinks. One of them had a flower in it but I don't remember the name of it. Overall, I could not have had a better first visit. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

1st time here. Its a very well kept restaurant but menu is scarce and not much to choose from especially if you are hungry. Portions are small and seem like they are for someone who is trying to watch what they eat. For a place to drink and watch sports I'd expect a good menu to go along with that. I never finish my plate cause I get full easily and I left still hungry. We headed to get a meal replacement smoothie after. Let's just say I felt like I just had a snack. Now for the worst part about this place. We wanted to watch and hear the Texans game and it seemed like everyone there did too but the guys that were there today manager/owner whoever they were obviously wasn't into what the customers wanted. They said game is outside if we wanted to hear it?? Sound to TVs didn't match either. What a waste.. read more

Amazing craft beer and wine selection. The staff is so friendly. Victoria really need a place like this. So amazing.

Horrible service and way overpriced. The whole setup is very confusing. There is a front seating area, a back seating area and an inside seating area. If you sit in front or inside, you get service at your table . If you sit in the back area, you get no service. If you want a drink, you have to chose from the canned options in the back bar or go inside for a draft. If you want food, you order from a bartender if in the back area. Why???? Bad management for sure. Food was okay, not terrific, but at $13 per plate, you think you would get served food on an actual plate. Food was in paper baskets and brought without forks or napkins by a grumpy, very unfriendly girl who obviously didn't want to be there. Beers were $7 for craft beer, which is about $2 more than what you would find in Austin. When you go inside to get a beer, you see about half a dozen bar tenders busy and about 5 servers standing around doing basically nothing. Why they don't serve in the back area is a mystery management will have to figure out while they are shutting this crappy place down. Don't waste your time or money here. read more
