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

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

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

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

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

Good food excellent beer 100% awesome Also great options to pickup an take some cases home can't go wrong with a golden monkey 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!

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

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

Victory Brewing - I don't think I got enough! Crowlers, Southern Tier Whiskey and two cases of ST seltzers. - Brewpubs Near Me - Downingtown, Pennsylvania

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

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

Victory is one of our staple restaurant. There drinks and food are always good. Love the atmosphere and the service is always great!

Amazing service, excellent management, they got my entire order out quickly and correctly and the brewery is fantastic 10/10 would recommend

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

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

Would not recommend. Nice ambiance but that's where it ends. We were told a 10 min wait. After 20 minutes, we politely asked how much longer the wait would be and were told they didn't know. 30 minutes later we were finally seated. Waitress never came to check on us. Took appetizer and drink orders and then barely saw her again. Wings had good flavor but soggy like they have been sitting in sauce all day. Fried pickles were good, but nothing amazing. Whole section on the menu for burgers. Was expecting a great burger. I ordered mine without a bun and it looks horrible. Dried out, thin as paper and next to no flavor. Now I know why they didn't ask me how I wanted my burger cooked. It's like fast food burgers. I've gotten better burgers at a drive-thru fast food restaurant for much less. Another member of our party liked his salad very much, So, the single star is given for the salad. Lots of places to eat. Unless you're coming here for the beer, look elsewhere! 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

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

This place is our go to for food and drink and great fun/relaxing atmosphere. Been here for a quarter century and this place has only gotten better with nary a hiccup. From the ladies that great you at the front (yes CC and Alyssa this means you) to the people behind the bar in the back to the vast, varied beer and cocktail lists to the menu with daily specials. If you can't find 20 beers you want to try, you don't drink or like beer. I've traveled to brewpubs in New Orleans, Cleveland, upstate NY and outside of Harrisburg on both sides of the mighty Susquehanna. Nobody does it better.Nobody does it half as good as you Victory. Baby, you're the best. 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 had come in the past and were a bit disappointed, menu wasn't too extensive, service was average, and it was loud! I'm glad that we came again. The food was outstanding, our server Lily, very attentive and pleasant, and good ambience. Victory- you have won us back. See you again soon. read more

Love, love, love Victory brewing. Clearly bar food is served here, but it's definitely got a kick to it. They even have some great choice for vegetarians! We had a plate of nachos, with the chicken on the side. Very crisp with just the right amount of vegetables and seasoning. Crisp chips that made the experience more enjoyable. Veggie quesadillas were a wonderful and flavorful treat with delicious local mushrooms! Vital IPA wins the drink selection and we can add this one to the list of return visits in the future.

My boyfriend and I decided to check out this location after previously eating at the Kennett location. We had a great experience! I have a service dog in training and when we were being seated, the host was extremely accommodating and asked if a booth or table would be better for my dog. Our server, Anthony, was also very quick and observant. I ordered the tortellini and my boyfriend ordered the citrus salmon. We also had an appetizer of the fried cauliflower. Everything was very tasty! I would definitely recommend the cauliflower appetizer. After our meal, we opted to take the 3:00 brewery tour. I'm so glad we did! Our tour guide (didn't catch his name) was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. I was glad to learn that Victory is a very environmentally company. They use paper straws, solar panels, and even donate a portion of their proceeds to a Brandywine River conservation group. read more

The beer is good and the waiters are nice. The food though... Disgusting microwaved slop made from the lowest quality ingredients possible. You can almost feel the antibiotics dripping from the meat and the sauces. They should stick to making beer. read more

Wow, the brewery is huge and has a great open seating plan. A cool bar with lots of sports on tvs. A nice retail area and of course many many great beers.

They were very busy (the venue is huge) so the service was a bit slow. The beer was fantastic but it was a huge annoyance not having the beer prices listed on the menu! We had to keep asking the waitress and you can tell she was in a hurry. The food was good (not amazing, but good), the beer is always on point, and they even have a little game/arcade room for the kids to play. If I were to go back I would choose a slower night and not a busy Saturday! read more

Stopped in on way home, early afternoon on a Saturday. Zero wait and we were even able to pick a booth. Good selection of beer. They have several styles with popular styles like IPA having several offerings. Maybe a dozen brews on tap yesterday. I don't think I've had a bad beer here. Some of the classic Victory beers have been around a while and might not seem exciting if you've had them many times before. They are still quite good and sometimes I think they taste a little better on site. For me the newer and rotating offerings are where it's at. There is plenty of beer for you to take home directly from the brewer if you'd like. Food is a good selection of pub food. I seem to recall the menu being larger, but I might be misremembering (or maybe its a covid change, not sure). We enjoyed the Smoked Wings (a bbq flavor), nice texture. Daughter demolished some loaded fries. I've had some tasty sandwiches here. Have to say that our waiter Sam was outstanding. He was always one step ahead (napkins/plates etc) and had superb timing. This made for a really smooth experience. There is a little construction going on in the parking lot and entrance, but don't mind it, I couldn't tell anything was happening from the inside. Looks like getting a new deck? that would be neat. Next time we pass through would definitely stop in. read more

It looks like you're pulling into a loading zone- but you're in the right spot. The food is awesome! Try the Monday night $5 burger special too. There is a kids menu/ just ask the server.
