Victory Tap - Huge Television - Sports Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

We were there for the World Cup. Very crowded. Fun place with a pick-up bar vibe. Here's some advice; avoid the fish & chips. The two cod pattys were very mushy with no flavor. The accompanying French fries were cold and tasteless. In fairness, my wife ordered the tuna sushi which she said was "OK". read more

We visited Victory Tap Sports Lounge during their grand opening and had a great experience overall. We started with two of the seasonal cocktails. The Ole Ole Ole was excellent, almost like a pineapple ranch water, and was one of my favorite drinks of the night. The CR7 is a watermelon margarita. It wasn't my personal favorite, but if you're a watermelon fan, you'll probably love it. For an appetizer, we ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp. The shrimp was fried well, and the sauce had great flavor. I'd give it a solid 7/10. For dinner, we shared the Calabrese pizza. It was delicious and featured hot honey and garlic oil that paired perfectly with the thin, crispy crust. It did have a bit of a kick to it, so be prepared for some spice. If you're a fan of thin crust pizza, this would be a dream. I'd rate it 8/10. Later in the evening, we tried a few more drinks. The LFC Skinny Margarita was very good, though the rim was a little unexpected with a combination of salt, lemon, and rosemary. We also tried one of the Mini Tinis, the Put Me In Coach. It was essentially an espresso martini shot, strong but delicious and a fun addition to the menu. The standout drink of the night was the Shake & Bake frozen cocktail. It tasted like a Dole Whip daiquiri and was easily a 10/10. It was the best thing we had all evening and something I'd order again without hesitation. The service was excellent. Since it was the grand opening, the managers were very attentive and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The venue itself is extremely well designed for sports fans. No matter where you're seated, you'll have a great view of a TV. They also have an F1 simulator inside, which is much more advanced than a typical arcade racing game. Any gamer or racing fan would get a kick out of trying it. Overall, Victory Tap Sports Lounge offers a fun atmosphere, great service, creative cocktails, and a setup that's perfect for watching games. We'll definitely be back. read more

Very strange experience. Beware. Long story short, they told us that 3 out of 4 of our ID's were rejected by their scanner in the back, and that they were going to be denying us service. We are all 21+ and have been to bars many times and NEVER had an issue. These are my closest friends and I'm actually the youngest of the group, so I know they're real ID's, lol. We were so confused that we just quietly left. It made 0 sense and it was sketchy overall. We didn't get to order anything. It was just so weird. On top of this, we were seated at a booth and were told by the host that a server would be with us shortly. After 15-20 mins of no server, we tried ordering drinks at the bar. Then the host comes and says, "It turns out I'm your server", then tried taking our drink order. We told her we ordered at the bar and then that's when she took all of our ID's. I was actually just ordering a water but gave my ID as a courtesy. That's when everything with the ID's transpired. Overall, the strangest experience I've ever had at a restaurant/bar. Something weird was going on and it felt targeted. It is not ok. Whatever this issue is, it needs to be resolved. When we walked in, I really thought we'd found a cool spot, as I have just moved to the area and have been trying to find a cool bar. I was so disappointed by what happened. I have never left a review in my life, but I feel like I have to, because it was just THAT wild. read more

Despite my love of sports, I'm definitely not the sports bar type. They tend to have pretty mediocre food and the tvs are an obnoxious interruption to conversation. That said, Victory Tap had been under construction near a client's house, so I popped in to check out the interiors, if nothing else. Much to my surprise, not only was the ambiance excellent, but the television setup was really cool. My server Michael was friendly & skilled, and there was a great selection food that isn't fried or trite-ly "bar-ified." Even better was the contingent of Argentina fans happily celebrating in a different alcove of the restaurant. A fun lunch, good food, and great soccer match viewing. I will actually be back! read more

Victory Tap - Roasted chicken kale salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Plano, Texas

Came to check out this new sports lounge in Plano, and it did not disappoint!!! There are 2 bar areas, plenty of seating, patio area - open concept with a great sports atmosphere! There are many TV's and a huge TV screen on the back wall. They can show all sporting events! The bar back greeted us first. very friendly and brought us water. Our bartender, Charles, had a super personality and gave us and our friends excellent service our whole visit! The drinks were great. We tried the calamari for an appetizer & it was very good. Pepe, the director of operations, stopped by and checked us and we had a great conversation. Didn't know this sports lounge was part of the Lombardi family of restaurants! Carrying on the excellent service and food tradition. We wanted to watch our niece's pro-softball game amidst all the soccer games and Antonio and Areeba came over and greeted us and put the game on at the bar right above us. We always sit at the bar. I had the prime steak topped wedge salad with blue cheese dressing and it was delicious. My husband had the crispy chucken sandwich with fries and buffalo sauce on the side. It was on a sesame milk bun like a hoagie, cut into 3 sections. He loved it! It was very good. Andy, the general manager, also came by and spoke to us and was very cordial, making sure everything was going well with our visit. It was an exceptional experience! We made new friends at the bar and we will be back!! Especially to watch sporting events, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, and great food and service! read more

Me and my friends just had the WEIRDEST experience here. We were denied service...because our ID's? We came in and were seated by the host. We came in with 40 mins until close. We said we'd just like a drink. We were seated at a booth and waited but after 15 mins passed, no one came to serve us. So my friends and I walked up to the bar with our ID's and ordered drinks. My 3 friends ordered a drink while I ordered a water. We waited. A server came and then we told her we ordered at the bar and she was like ok cool can I have ur ID's. We said ok and gave them, even me, who just wanted a water. She walked away with them. She came back a few minutes later and told us that 3 out of 4 of our ID's were DENIED. We are all 21+. Never had this happen before. The server told us the manager said since 3/4 we're scanned and denied, that they weren't going to serve us. We were so confused. It seemed like they just wanted us out. Which was kinda wild since it was just 3 drinks and there were other groups of people there as well. It wasn't even busy. Overall just really confused. I've never ever left a review, let alone a 1 star, but...I felt like I had to. That was so weird and NOT ok. This is a business who shouldn't be supported. Shady asl. read more

Frederico was fabulous! He provided excellent, knowledgeable service without hovering. The bang bang shrimp were great!.... even more fresh and spicy than expected. We did the chicken pesto pizza and added bacon, WHY NOT, and the cracker thin crust was heaven. Note that this is a Lombardi concept and while positioned as a sports bar, it really isn't. The vibe is elevated. They expect you to have a reservation and valet. This is an identity crisis for anyone thinking they're headed into a typical sports bar. As long as you know what you're walking into, you'll enjoy every minute! We will be back! read more

Never in my life have I been charged a cc fee at a restaurant This place charges 3.5% if you use a cc There used to be a probation by visa and Mastercard from merchants doing this Never ever go back read more

The food and cocktail choices are weird. Ordered a Cosmo and was asked what kind of vodka I wanted when I said Grey Goose.(and I've never been asked that before when I want a Cosmo), we were charged an extra $5.20, making that drink $18.20. Same thing with the second weird cocktail I ordered. I didn't want tequila so I asked for Grey Goose again and it was another up charge of $5.20 making that drink also $18.20. And- they put those cocktails in an old-fashioned, rounded champagne glass. WTH? Put it in a regular martini glass. The Cosmo tasted weird, and it also was not cold or filled to the top of the glass. Total ripoff. (You can get a bigger, better Cosmo at Bobs steak and chophouse for $14. A Crown royal Manhattan was $11 and an up charge of 4.40 for something, so it was a $15.40 drink. A bigger and better one is only $13 at Bob's. If you order a $17 chicken Caesar salad without the chicken, they still charge you $17 and the lettuce is so big you have to cut it to get it into your mouth. Really? The kitchen can't see how annoying that is. Abby our server was fine. Too bad she didn't tell us about the drink up charges. So, sticker shock on the drink prices when presented the tab. We will never go back and will warn our friends go at your own risk and maybe just drink water. Though they may have an up charge for that if you want ice. Terrible! read more

The food is not very good and portion size, the service is lacking when the bartenders are standing around and you have to ask them for another cocktail. Don't get the chicken wings it's 4 rubbery chicken wings, what, the chicken tenders are not much better, it's one chicken tender cut into 4 pieces. Probably should stick to their Italian restaurant businesses not a sports bar and restaurant. read more

Cool design on the bar. Very fresh look from what the preceding restaurant was (Kona Grille). But, for a place named Varsity Tap, they have very few beers on tap. Service was terrible. I waited 12 minutes sitting at the main bar before someone came by to grab me a beer. I was going to order food, but nobody came back to check on my area for another 20 minutes. A lady bartender looked at me for a moment but turned away before I could even try to wave her over to order. After drinking 1 beer in 40 minutes, I cut bait and tabbed out. I hope they survive and get better, but what a disappointment on my first try. read more

Food was not great. Shrimp roll are definite pass. $20 for what may have been 5 shrimp on 3 Hawaiian rolls. Way too much dill. Fries were good. Devil eggs were qual egg sized and salty. Still figuring out service which is understandable. Food need to be better. read more

Michael L was, BY FAR, THE VERY BEST SERVER I have had in a long time! Super professional, extremely attentive & the nicest guy in town! Food was delicious & atmosphere great! I look forward to coming on game days! read more

Great new place to watch sports. We had the Queso, Bang Bang Shrimp, and Pizza which we excellent!

Our bartender, Isiah was fanatic with spot on service and great conversation. We got to experience the warm and friendly manner of Christian who was equally amazing at serving our needs. The food we had was great. The Texas Cheese Steak did not disappoint especially with the jalapeño. The Pesto Chicken Flat bread was very rich definitely something to share. The peach cobbler had a lovely crust with a down home taste. This place has an amazing flare for a sports bar/restaurant, a step above what one might expect. read more

Really wanted to like this place because it's a great build out. BUT- it was a major disappointment. I'd say a failure of management, who walk around but aren't effectively curating the guest experience. The menu is too contrived for a sports bar- make it simpler for your kitchen to execute on time... we waited forever and meals came out at different times for our party. Drinks were good, but also terrible timing to deliver. Servers are not attentive- again a failure of management not to lead by example and course correction throughout service. read more

This past weekend, my husband and I met up with friends at Victory Tap in Plano, and it was an experience worth talking about. We already knew the General Manager, Rob, and the moment we heard he was leading this location, we knew we were in good hands. Rob and the team he builds consistently deliver excellent service, and they lived up to it on this occassion. Victory Tap is a classy sports lounge--warm, inviting, and surprisingly spacious. Even with more than 40 TVs, the room still feels open and comfortable rather than overwhelming. Since the restaurant has just opened, everything feels fresh, clean, and new, which adds to the overall atmosphere. When the right event comes along--looking at you, FIFA--I'll definitely be back here to watch it. This visit, though, was all about the food and the company. Our group ordered a mix of dishes: some went for elevated options like the Rigatoni or Salmon, while others stuck with classics like burgers. Every single person at the table agreed--the food was one of the best parts of the night. And for the quality we received, it didn't feel like our pocketbooks took a hit. As a cocktail fan, I probably indulged a little more than I should have, but I have zero regrets. The drinks were creative, balanced, and full of flavor. For those who prefer beer--like my husband--there's a wide variety of brands and styles, so no one is left wanting. And clearly, we haven't been wanting either, because we've already been back two more times and fully expect to return again. Victory Tap is the kind of place that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in, and it's quickly becoming one of our go‑to spots in Plano. read more

This was the second time we've came to try this place out and it's really cute and cool atmosphere but unfortunately service is not great and they do not pay attention to detail or care. I understand it's a new place and it may take some time to figure things out which I hope they do because this place has potential. They are trying to hard to be upscale ish - it's a sports bar let's call it what it is, don't overthink the menu. The dishes don't need pickled veggies no one cares about garnish nor will someone eat that lol. If they made the menu more bar friendly bites like a normal sports bar it'd be fine. Kitchen and management needs work too. Our orders both time have been wrong. Really hope they figure it out but don't say I didn't warn you if service isn't great. Management also walks around the floor but doesn't check on anyone. read more

Not up to Lombardi standards! I had chicken Caesar salad. The lettuce was tough and room temperature and the chicken was very dry. Husband had fish n chips. Fish had no taste and fries were stale. read more

Great service, great ambiance. We come to watch the soccer matches because they have awesome TVs. We have come twice this week and have had to change drink and food orders both times because they are out of one thing or another. Still hoping that this particular trend ends quickly. read more

I made a reservation for 6 people to watch the USA soccer game and then needed to change it to 10 people and they were so accommodating to the request. We sat at a non traditional table, but it worked for us. We had great views of all the TVs. Our waitress was Gabrielle and she was phenomenal. She was very attentive, sweet, and fun. We ordered the calabrese hot honey pizza and it was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend. We were a big group with a lot of drink and food orders and Gabrielle handled it like a pro. We will be back! read more

Great atmosphere! Amazing food & drinks! Highly recommend for game day. The mini tinis are definitely a nice touch.
