    Chai Old Fashion
    Renee F.

    Just popped in for drinks before the Giants game. Cool vibe with games and seating to chill out. Drinks were good too. I really enjoyed their Chai Old fashion. Unique twist on a classic favorite. Didn't try the food but maybe next time. The venue looks like it would be a fun place to host a party. An additional bar in the back space which could accommodate a nice group. Clean rustic style bathrooms. Overall nice space

    Here for the soul food

    We came by for their Sunday brunch today, and we were both blown away by the aesthetic of the interior. It's cute on the outside but come in for a true treasure. The interior blends art murals with brick walls, big booth seating and unique bar seating. It's an old building retouched with charm. And the food, awesome. My girlfriend got the blackened chicken salad and I got the boneless fried chicken plate with grits and collards... still drooling from those delicious collards. We sat the bar and were well tended to by the bartender. Great spot. Will return.

    Hearty Cobb Salad and Skillet Mac & Cheese and bowl with sausage

    Close to the ballpark and quite a few different Muni lines, I didn't realize I'd been to Victory Hall before for a local election night party celebrating a local politician. By night, it's a chic lounge with a full bar, and by day, it's Southern food from Little Skillet (soul food in SF!) The ambiance is dark and chill, which differs from the outdoor parklet which is surrounded by trees. Booth seating is pretty lush. For lunch, I ordered the Hearty Cobb Salad and shared the Skillet Mac & Cheese and biscuits. My compatriot got the sausage bowl. We both got iced teas, however mine was sweetened and his was not. The salad was large and came with a nice amount of avocado. The fried chicken was moist and flavorful. The batter wasn't too thick or overwhelming so the chicken flavor and crunch could shine through. Mac n cheese was creamy. Biscuit was crisp and warm. I have no complaints--I left stuffed and satisfied. Service was good. Lots of people come here for work lunches from nearby offices.

    I came here for the 415 Coffee Club event on 10/26, and it was such a fun surprise to see Victory Hall & Parlor transform from a bar into a cozy, creative coffee spot for the morning! The atmosphere was industrial-chic with warm lighting, upbeat music, and friendly people chatting around copper-topped tables. The bar staff were super welcoming and kept the flow smooth even with the brunch crowd. I ordered the fried chicken & waffle, which was crispy, buttery, and absolutely hit the spot. I loved that each table had fresh flowers and little "conversation cards" that encouraged guests to connect, such a thoughtful touch. The 415 Coffee Club crew curated a perfect blend of community, music, and caffeine, and Victory Hall provided the ideal backdrop with its beautiful bar setup, colorful lighting, and great energy. I'll definitely be back for both their regular evening menu. A great reminder of how SF still knows how to mix good design, good people, and good coffee

    Victory Hall is a great hidden spot to hang out with a large group of friends if you ever find yourself in this area of SoMA. Victory Hall is spacious, they have a full bar -- offering beer, wine and cocktails, there's food available from the shared kitchen of Little Skillet next door, and you can order via QR code across multiple, separate tabs. Drinks are well-balanced, do not taste watered down, and prices are in line with other bars in the city. I had a chance to try out their bloody Mary and Oaxacan negroni on my most recent visit and really enjoyed the flavors in both. The concentration of tomato in the bloody Mary was richer than most that I've had in the past -- resulting in a thicker texture. No crazy over the top garnishes here, but if you're a bloody Mary fan, you'll certainly enjoy the spicy one offered here. Service is hit or miss depending on who your server is, so you may have to flag somebody down to get a refill for water, but the QR code ordering does help out the situation a bit. If you're ever in charge of planning a corporate Happy Hour or finding a spot for a round of farewell drinks for co-workers, Victory Hall is perfect for that.

    Biscuits! Yes please! The butter is delicious!
    Kelley K.

    Staff was very nice. Place is a little dark. Their pork was delicious! If you are coming here, have a beer, biscuits with their amazing sage honey butter & mashed potato bowl with pork. I think you will be happy! All 3 five stars for sure! We appreciated we could sit & eat before a Giants game. Didn't like their fried chicken salad. There was approx 20% meat, mostly batter & skin on their fried chicken Others loved their pork dishes! Super chill, super casual. Beer, biscuits w/special butter & pork at least 5 stars! Wish we skipped the mixed drinks & fried chicken/fish.

    Happy hour as of 4.21

    I like Victory Hall for a few key things. One, service, really solid bartenders. Two, ambiance, have to say the space/music/decoration combo gives off positive vibes. Three, food, diverse menu regardless of what you might be in the mood for. Lastly, the Happy Hour (see photo attached). Runs all night Monday and from 2-pm, Tues-Friday. If you're looking for a good spot to pre/post game after watching the Giants, come on in!

    We came here for brunch on New Year's Day, and enjoyed the live entertainment and music, delicious food, friendly service, and winning a raffle prize on the first day of the year, lol :D It's located in an alley, but street parking was easy right in front of the restaurant (in that alleyway). The venue is beautiful, and has almost an industrial feel but perhaps converted to what it is currently... clean, modern, spacious, two rooms (each with its own bar), unique light fixtures, and lots of artwork and color on the walls bringing so much character to the place. They even have a shelf of board games at the entrance, right next to the host podium. Little Skillet, whose kitchen is right next door, serves some amazing food here. The chicken and waffles definitely live up to the hype, juicy and crisp pieces of chicken (your choice of what pieces you want), and thick and fluffly waffles! The crab & seafood gumbo was amazing as well, the closest thing to soup that they had, the entire dish with awesome flavors and ingredients. The beignets aren't the best I've had, but they were still pretty damn good, light and airy, not too sweet, and even better as leftovers. If you're looking for great food and drinks and perhaps some live entertainment in a laid-back atmosphere, I definitely recommend this spot.

    This place is a great place to meet up with friends especially when some are vegan and others are not. We went for the launch of their new vegan bar bites curated by Chef Raina and they were amazing. My personal favorite was the "No Crab Cakes" which were crispy and flavored perfectly. The Brussels sprouts were so soft as well, I just wish they came with a sauce. We also tried the vegan tacos which were simple but decent and the garlic fries which made a good snack. They also have non-vegan options and a whole dinner menu. On the bar side, their happy hour Moscow mule was one of the best I've ever had.

    Would have loved to experience what looks like a beautiful spot...however, I was willfully ( thats the important part) ignored for a full 10 minutes, by 2 different bartenders at the bar that only had 2 other parties at it. Oh well.

    My Bestie and I had our annual New Year Day brunch today. We had gone one year pre pandemic. She sent me a flyer and I was all in. I love the NOLA vibes with the brass band that was there today. The food was super delicious! My first time actually eating chicken and waffles. The chicken was super crispy and juicy. I like how the waffles were super light, nothing thick or heavy. The staff and service were great. There was someone always checking on us. We even got to get up and dance to the music with the people today.

From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm, coastal charm of the space. The soft lighting, breezy decor, and gentle music created the perfect backdrop for what would become one of the most unforgettable nights of my life. I came in for cocktails with a friend, not knowing that fate had other plans. One cocktail, a few laughs, and a perfectly timed Old Fashioned later, I found myself deep in conversation with someone who would change my life. Beyond the magic of that night, Natamo Cabana truly delivers. The staff is attentive and kind, always making you feel like you're part of something special. Every time we return, it feels like coming home. We even celebrated our anniversary there, and the team went above and beyond to make it memorable.

The space has a fun indoor-outdoor party vibe with string lights, a big bar area, and a lot of people moving through throughout the night. Because it gets very crowded during First Thursdays, the energy feels more like a social event than a typical bar night. It's a good place to stop by if you're already out in the area and want somewhere with music and a busy atmosphere. The photo here was taken from their little loft area, which is actually really cute and a great spot for people watching since you can see the whole bar and crowd from above. One thing I wasn't sure about was the plastic cups. Every time I've gone they've served drinks in plastic cups, but since it's so busy during First Thursdays, I'm not sure if that's their normal setup or just something they do to keep things moving during the event. I ordered a rosé, which was perfectly fine and easy to drink while walking around.

Luckily, my friend had already been to Iron Horse Cocktails, and suggested we go there instead. Walking down the alleyway it is located in was a nice getaway from the otherwise hectic union square atmosphere. Walking in was also a neat experience that felt like we were stepping out of the city into a tiny pub. We also really liked the atmosphere inside and the cozy upper floor that had an interesting mix of old paintings and woodwork, creating an eclectic feel. I got the We've Got the Beet cocktail with mezcal, beet reduction, ginger, fresh citrus, thyme and firewater bitters. I love mezcal's smoky flavors and was drawn to the combination of ginger, citrus and mezcal flavors in the drink. The cocktail was very good and had a nice smokiness from the mezcal, along with the kick from the ginger and zest from the citrus, creating a refreshing and tasty drink. My friend got the About Thyme, with gin, blackberry liquor, black pepper thyme syrup and fresh citrus. We both really liked his drink as well, which had an interesting kick from the black pepper thyme syrup that offset the gin and blackberry liquor nicely. While we only had time to grab a drink each, we were both very happy with the drinks and would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.

Arrived on a whim at around 6pm on a weekday and found a nice seat at the bar top. They have these little orb lights that can't be moved.
