Erica was an awesome server. She was very attentive and hospitable. Great dinner out!

We love victory, and have been routine patrons, but these last two experiences were less than appetizing. I don't think either one of our waitresses wanted to work that day, and the only way I can describe them is rude. I doubt we will return. read more

Me and a few friends were in yesterday had a few drinks and appetizers we enjoyed ourselves

Wednesday is our wing Wednesday where we meet as a family with friends. Victory wings are the best in this area and the beer menu has a nice variety to choose from. Our waiter Aaron not only provided attentive service, his sense of humor fit right in. Highly recommend Victory for a casual night out. read more

Food and Beer were amazing! Aaron our server was amazing!! So helpful with beer and food suggestions. We will be back and I will make sure we sit in Aaron's section! read more

Food was surprisingly good! We ordered cheese curds that were perfectly fried and seasoned. Everyone enjoyed their burgers and I took a risk with the Caprese burger special (only $6 during happy hour!) and was really happy with it. Meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Wings were also great. Some in our party didn't enjoy the Fish Tacos though. I would have given this 5 stars but our waitress was kinda rude and off-putting. The space is large and open which is great if you don't like being crowded in a bar setting. read more

Great date night spot in Downingtown! We love the music on Friday! The menu and beers are also great! Service is always great too!

Great food and great beer. Atmosphere was really cool and our waiter was attentive and friendly.

I've always enjoyed Victory beers, but this was my first time at the brewery. I will happily return! Golden Monkey is among my all time favorites, though the IPAs are also delicious (highly recommend the Cloudwalker and the Brotherly Love). The food was solid bar/brewery food. The Loaded fries were excellent, and the fried chicken sandwich was tasty (thin, nicely tenderized chicken breasts perfectly breaded on a soft seeded bun). They seem to have great daily specials during the week, including deals on growlers and crowlers. Only wish I lived closer! read more

I've never had a bad experience at Victory out of the 10 or so times that I've been. The service is good, the waiters are friendly, the atmosphere is nice, the prices are really great during happy hour. It's probably the best happy hour you can find in the area, between drinks and apps. The food is always hot and fresh too. I think it's underrated because how renowned the beer is. The beer is top notch, of course. My personal favorite, berry monkey, is to die for. The monkey beers are pretty much all over the entire east coast at this point. My buddies were drinking some down in FL, as well as VA. Great to hear the big time success that has come out of this place. Be sure to hit this D-town classic. I always look forward to getting back. Their merch is pretty sweet too! read more

We drove an hour to get here and what we had was an okay food and subpar service. The place is huge with an area for takeout beer, T-shirt, and glasses. There's a big bar area at the back with plenty of tvs to watch sports. Service: our waiter wasn't friendly at all. He was sniffling and looking at the ceiling while taking the orders. When we asked for plates and utensils he grabbed from different table and throw them to ours. I asked for big salad but gave me small. Pretzel: it's the only one that I end. It came out warm and soft. Delicious. Fried pickles: not overly battered and my husband and our guests enjoyed it. Trout with pea pure and fingerling potato: overly peppered. Black pepper is all over the fish. Purée is very salty. The position is decent. Blackened salmon salad: pretty good with some spiciness. Dessert: strawberry love ice creams and chocolate ice cream made from beer. I didn't taste the beer at all. The strawberry is okay. The chocolate one has small chocolate chip in it. It's pretty good but not mind blowing. They are like regular ice cream. Nothing special. You can skip it. I will not go back here again. read more

A big, spacious brew pub with plenty of food and brew offerings. The food is better than expected and we've enjoyed burgers, wings, hot sandwiches, calamari and more. The atmosphere is louder, energetic and exciting. There's plenty of space, so you can do your own thing and not feel like you're trying to talk over the other guests around you. If you're a fan of Victory, and you look bar & grill food, this is a great stop while in Downingtown. read more

Aaron was an incredible server. A+ service and all around cool dude. the Food was fantastic as was the alcohol. Highly recommend.

Servers and staff that delivered food were amazing!! The Manager was EXTREMELY rude to my girlfriend that was just not satisfied with something that she ordered. I watched the Manager go over to the servers and belittled them. Gave them all a cold shoulder. It was crazy watching this all go down. The server AND the person that brought our food actually came over to apologize for that manager being such a jerk. The rest of the time we were there, that same Manager sat at the Bar and was drinking!! So unacceptable for a manager to act like this. My girlfriend loves going there when we can get a babysitter for a date night, which is rare!!! Thanks for ruining our date, Ms. General Manager. I don't think we will go back and rest assure we will let our friends know about this. read more

Really fun place to visit for good craft beers and food. During COVID, they have a large tent and tables set up outside as well as table service inside. DJ outside with good adult contemporary music. You need a reservation but times are readily available. I arrived with a party of five with reservation and was seated immediately. The beers were very good as expected. I really liked the Festbier. For food, I had the soft pretzel with mustard and cheese sauces. It is very large, homemade, soft and delicious. My wife got the homemade smoked turkey which she let me sample. Fantastic! Really friendly service start to finish. Gift shop inside for shirts, hats, etc. read more

If you come here only beer worth getting is the Lauren's amber lager Everything else is pretty good.. read more

Picked up some crowlers today from Victory and seltzers and whiskey from Southern Tier in the Victory parking lot. Ordering and pickup couldn't have been easier during the COVID pandemic. For both companies, you can order on the Victory website through two different links. Crowlers are $3.33 through Victory no matter which one you order. Southern Tier whiskey is $28 and their vodka seltzers are $20/case. Pretty great deals to me!!! I went to pickup my order today and there are so many signs directing you where to go for pickup that you just cannot get it wrong. For Victory beer you pull all the way up to their to-go spots. They ask for your name, go in and bring your stuff out to your trunk. They even close the trunk door for you. For Southern Tier, you have to park and go up to their tent. They check your ID and bring out your order. I wish this part was a little more COVID friendly but I was the only one picking up so I wasn't around a ton of people. All in all a good experience, especially for Victory! read more

Steak Crostini on special by Chef Tim was absolutely fantastic. Kristy at the bar was great as well, very attentive and personable. We frequent. Victory often and this was great. 11/10 read more

Good food and great beer. Server was pleasant. We go to Downingtown or Parkersburg at least once a month and Victory never disappoints!

This is by far my favorite brewery to visit. It's located in a residential area just off rte 30. The beers here are always amazing. Golden Monkey is hands down my favorite beer ever! Besides Monkies, there's always a huge and forever rotating selection of beers. They sell beer in cases in the back store and they fill growlers at the bar area. The growler refill is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. State of the art, push a few buttons and everything is done automatically. The food here has never disappointed either. The staff is usually very friendly and accommodating. Worth making the pilgrimage to one of the best breweries on the east coast! read more

Wonderful evening! Loved the expansion since we were here last! Lots of new seating in and out! The brisket Mac and cheese was so good! Lots of brisket! Kids had kisses cheeseburgers and fries! They scoffed them all up! Fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork and tacos were all great! Friday is half price growler fills! Great all around! read more

My daughters boyfriend has been dying to try Victory for a while now. He is a Golden Monkey fan. When we first arrived we were greeted by the hostess stand and not ignored like last time. So that was great! The hostess presented the menu and explained that the daily special were on the back side of the menu. My table got a flight of 5 beers and they enjoyed tasting. The blood orange was delicious according to my dining companions. I had my standard lemon water. Our server was Kyle and he was very knowledgeable about the beer. We ordered 3 burgers and 1 Reuben. It's nice bcs you can order a side of fries, chips or a salad without an upcharge. The burgers were cooked perfectly and we were happy with our food. We followed up our meal to the gift store. Doesn't everyone? Daughters BF bought a nice Victory growler at the bar. At the gift store we got a case of victory (4) assorted six packs, a case of root beer, a shirt and a golden monkey glass. read more

I did the pandemic dinner special. 2 large pizzas, a salad and wings for $40.00. So I went with the dirtwolf BBQ and meathead. The pizzas were incredible, definitely will be doing this again. Perfect type of hand tossed crust with a nice crunch to it and the flavors were amazing. Oh the wings... almost forgot. They are breaded crispy, perfectly cooked. I tried the chipotle flavor and it was amazing. Just a smoky chipotle, it says hot but it's pretty mild of a flavor and they put the sauce on the side. So you can toss them in a bowl when you get home. Which I think totally helps the wings to stay crispy. On to the beer. They also have a 3 crowlers (2 pint cans) for 10 bucks. I'm drinking the one Cloud Walker Hazy Juicy IPA tonight. It's a orange-blonde with a lot of tropic fruit undertones. But, it's definitely an IPA. Very refreshing citr My only suggestion is to bring cash. They charge your card over the phone but due to the pandemic they don't have you sign anything. So I felt like a real jerk because I never carry cash with me and I alway just tip on the card. So if I was to change one minor thing it would be to ask if you want to put the tip on the card. Now I've seen on Instagram that they have taco making kits, and I'm definitely going to try that out. Hopefully when this is all figured out I can do a brewery tour, but for now it's going to have to be just pickup. read more

I've been a loyal customer to Victory for about 25 years. Would have been longer but it took me a few years to find this place. Love the beer and wings, but they took away the Veggie burger option on Thursday Burger option. They had an upcharge for it which was fine, but now they don't even offer it. My wife's a vegetarian who now prefers other establishments over Victory. Help! please put a Veggie Burger option back on the menu so I can enjoy my beer and wings! read more

Always a fun spot to watch some sports on the big screen, great beer, very casual, pretty basic bar foods but some seasonal selections from time to time. Prices are reasonable, service is quick, it's hard not to enjoy yourself. read more

Very fine brewery, beers are top notch, but as a restaurant I'm afraid they're a victim of their own success. Food was meh, service less than that. Ate with my family of 5, ordered simple tavern classics. The cheesesteak was mediocre, not as good as what you'd get at chain like Jersey Mike's and not in the same league as some neighborhood places. My wife had a chicken mole burrito, which was defeated by very dry chicken. I asked my other son who ordered a cheeseburger, he just shrugged. The only dish that really hit was the fish and chips I ordered, which was quite good. Service was indifferent and rushed, simple things like getting plates for the appetizers and napkins with our entrees took some effort. I've been to Victory many times in the last 15 years, and the beers is still great and I will go back for that. Just as a brewery this would be a 4 or 5 star review. But the food used to be a highlight too and my family looked forward to our visits. Sorry, but that's no longer the case. read more

I probably haven't been to Victory in maybe 10 years, only because I live about 100 miles from here. If I were local I'd be here once a week. Back in the day it was tough getting craft beer. You either drank Belgian or settled for (for example) a Young's beer that was sitting on the shelf of your beer purveyor for over two years. Victory was one of the first craft breweries in the east and I always had an eye out for their brews; Hop Devil and Golden Monkey being early standouts. Victory is still at the craft forefront and judging by how busy it was the Saturday afternoon we stopped in, I'm not the only one singing their praises. We had lunch and a beer and enjoyed both. I had the cherry oatmeal stout which was excellent. It is one of the best low gravity (around 5% abv) beers I've ever had. Usually low alcohol equates to low taste. This is an exception. I had the chicken burrito with a side salad. This was very good. They give you a lot of food and the prices are quite reasonable. read more

I have been a big fan of Victory brews for many years. On this particular trip out to PA we decided to stop for lunch and realized we were in Downington and Victory was literally down the road. That's a no brainer so off we went. I remember going here years ago but don't remember it being so HUGE. After we grabbed a seat at the bar the bartender told us they had remodeled and made the place much larger. The entrance brings you into the shopping area & a beautiful display of yummy Victory beers for sale. A dining area is to the right & the brewing equipment straight ahead. The bar area is towards the back & to the left, but that's not where it ends. Past the bar area is another huge room, presumably for private parties. Like I said, the place is huge. The menu is pretty extensive but I decided on Citrus Salmon, seared salmon, sautéed spinach & arugula, sundried tomatoes, capers in a garlic citrus sauce. It came out piping hot & was delicious! My friend & I sampled a flight of some incredible beers, just enough for a taste without overdoing it. It was entertaining watching the bartenders fill crowlers & growlers at the bar with the hi-tech equipment they have. We ended up purchasing a couple of crowlers & bottles for home. I can't wait to go back out to Victory with hubs; he's going to love it! Definitely recommend checking this place (or any one of their 4 locations). read more

I am definitely a wino more than a beer enthusiast. I couldn't tell you the difference between craft or 'mainstream' (if that's even the right word), tap or... non-tap?, or whatever you have it. But my colleagues are beer fans, and it was the end of a long business day, so I suggested we enjoy happy hour here. Beer under $3 and at a portion size that I can actually finish! Even though beer isn't my thing, the ones I tried were eminently drinkable and not bad at all. My co-workers took advantage of the Tuesday slider specials and were happy with their food. I tried the pork belly tacos which featured shredded pork belly on soft tortilla shells. While the taste was fine, it was overly greasy and a puddle of oil quickly pooled on the plate, making eating the second and third tacos a very messy and unpleasant experience. We wanted to try the root beer float, but was told they were out of vanilla ice cream because a bad batch was made earlier in the week, severely limiting the availability. The waitress apologized profusely and we were comped a drink as a result of the float not being available to us. We split our checks because of business reimbursement purposes and they were accommodating. read more

Stopped here with my sister in early December 2016. Being from Milwaukee, WI I know my beer and have local favorites. We have some Victory beers at local stores so I've been a fan for awhile. I like the large bar area, food options and homey feel. You can purchase growlers or bring your own to fill on up. I opted for the flight just to taste several of the beers, I thought that was a good option for the price. We both love the Winter Cheers beer and were hoping to drink that but the keg had recently run out! Sad. But we tried some others in place of it and enjoyed those as well. That Sunday morning they had a brunch with Santa for kids, suggesting this is a family restaurant/environment. We didn't do the tour, I've been on so many it's not really top of my list. If I lived down the street I would probably make this my regular place for beer! read more

Victory Brewing Company, I like you! If you've read any of my previous reviews, you would know that I'm not a big fan of beer, so you're probably wondering what makes me love this place. My answer to that: the vibe, atmosphere and decor, the food, and the service! Victory is quite large and spacious. There are multiple bars, and you are guaranteed good seating wherever you may land. Our group of five (four adults and one infant) snagged a table in one of the corner spots. It was the perfect place for us. We had a lot of catching up to do and wanted to pick a slightly quite place in case my friend's son decided to take a little snooze. =P Our waitress was really friendly and attentive. She was quick to take our food and drink orders, and offered suggestions when asked. As for my drink, I usually go with a cider at breweries, but unfortunately, they didn't have any. After some contemplation, I chose the fruitiest one they had on the menu (unfortunately, I don't remember the name) and ended up loving it. It was sweet and wasn't hoppy at all. I had no trouble polishing it down! As for food, I ordered the Victory Cheesesteak and thought it was fantastic! The lager cheese sauce was incredibly delicious and oozing off of the roll. I thought the meat was well-cooked and seasoned. It came with a side of fries which I thought were just okay. They were sort of mushy and cold. A little disappointing since I'm usually all about the fries. All in all, my experience was an awesome one. Although a brewery wouldn't normally be my first choice, I really wouldn't hesitate to return here! read more

We haven't visited Victory for a long time (it's off the beaten path so not top of mind). Food was great (pizzas and burgers and apps). Waitress was very attentive and had a solid understanding of the beer choices and helped us select multiple flights. Overall a solid experience. Only disappointment was the banana pudding I ordered to-go. It turned into a nasty mess (lesson learned ;) We'll be back! read more
