18 Best Bars in Victoria

“Just a shout out to Anna who was an amazing server! Thank you for a great experience as always!“

“Phillips is a brewery in Victoria. It's easy to get to and this part of town has parking available in plenty of spots. It's pretty big and has a few dozen tables inside plus an outdoor seating area. They have plenty of beers on tap plus canned ones as well, on top of a merch shop in the front. They have windows so you can view the actual brewery which is cool. The staff here are awesome, very friendly and fun to chat with. This is a solid spot to grab a beer with friends or even some food, which they have a decent sized menu with good portions for a solid price.“

“Best bar on the island, staff are fantastic! Well priced and the comedy shows are lit! Excellent date night event or outing with friends.“

“Great service will be back cheers from Ontario“

“Everything was so good. Their fresh wasabi is a must try! Our total came to $250 for 2 adults and one child. Their pictured menu does not do justice for the actual food display! The food was a bit pricier than other sushi restaurants we been to, but the quality, display and taste is top notch!“

“If a bar were to feel like coming home, this would be it.“

“Superflux offers some of the best beers I've had in Victoria with one of the best patios. Given the city's extensive craft beer culture, it can be difficult raise oneself above the high bar Victoria sets, but they've certainly done it.

I would highly recommend the Colour and Shape, if you get the chance!“

“Stopped by here for a couple of beers and some snacks with a friend on a Tuesday evening. The selection of local taps is impressive and the staff really knows their stuff when you ask for a recommendation. It has a very relaxed, neighborhood vibe that makes it easy to lose track of time. Everything we ordered came out fairly quickly and tasted fresh. I’d definitely swing by again for a low-key night out.“

“The managers and staff members always carry great hospitality which makes for an incredible atmosphere and the cooks always turn out great food. Love this place!! Lifetime subscriber!“

“Great staff and atmosphere ! The best view in greater Victoria also !“

“We celebrated our Christmas party at this restaurant yesterday. The place itself is very nice, with a great atmosphere and a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, the food was a complete disappointment. Everything we ordered from the menu was extremely poorly prepared. The dishes were overly salty, over-peppered, and simply unpleasant to eat. It reached a point where no one at the table wanted to continue eating. We tried almost every item on the menu, hoping to find something decent, but nothing met even basic expectations. Considering the amount of money we spent, the quality of the food was unacceptable. The overall level of the kitchen was comparable to very low-quality street food, which was shocking given how good the restaurant itself looks. The management seriously needs to reconsider the standards of the kitchen and the work of the chef.“

“Good food and service. Enjoyed oysters and fresh sardines.“

“I didn't eat or drink here, but my travel companion brought me here as a must-see bar in Victoria. There's definitely a specific energy in this place.

They give you free peanuts and you just huck the shells onto the floor. There are bras on the walls and ceiling, lots of stickers and graffiti on the wall. It feels like the kind of place that took years to cultivate that specific grunge look.

Definitely a must-see, but not for everyone.“

“live music....come on...so good.“

“We stopped here for dinner mostly because they had a kids menu and we wanted somewhere kid friendly. The service was great, lots of food options for everyone, many NA drink options, I got the NA Aperol Spritz which was delicious. We sat outside which was shaded, very pleasant experience! Would recommend for those with children who want something nicer but still casual.“

“Let them choose, but come with a healthy appetite!

First time there for a special day, we sat at the bar and watched the food being prepared. And oh how incredible that food was! They had a whole pig so much of it was pork based. The carrots, so special, incredible. We had a incredible soup with pig feet and So many more dishes that we sadly gave up!! So here we are eating the last course we brought back cold a day later and it is still so incredibly delicious. The flavors are fun and new while being nostalgic somehow? Im not a foodie idk! Aside from the food, the people working were awesome! Felt welcomed from the moment we opened the door to the moment we rolled out. The curated Playlist only added to the experience of the night and to each incredible bite.

We will absolutely be back for our next anniversary, too bad it is a year away. Eek!“

“Andrew is amazing, so hospitable and the sushi is made beautifully with the freshest seafood. His Cadboro Bay roll is the absolute BEST!! It is a must have for sure.“

“the Gnar Gnars freaking love the Phoenix and staff!!🤘🤘🤘“
