30 Best Bars near Victoria

“The service is 10 stars!!! I think we saw 5 wait staff come by and ask us if we needed anything. They are SO on top of your needs and make you feel welcome - unlike Floyd’s where if you are NOT a biker or a man, you are overlooked for service. Also, Vic’s has great food!!“

“Our first time here. So charming and very friendly atmosphere. Our server practically read my mind this evening. She was amazing. The food was wonderful but our steaks could have used some salt/flavor but cooked perfectly. We will return because we really enjoyed our experience ?“

“Our family came last night and had a blast! We ate dinner- it was really yummy! They have a good variety of food, including the classics for my picky eaters. We had pizza, chicken tenders, quesadillas, and the Mac n cheese. Everything was eaten! Kids ran around and played arcade games and mini golfed. My husband and I even played some games too. They have a LOT of games (more than when I was there last). We basically stayed until closing because we were having so much fun. We will definitely be back!“

“I go to Floyd's on a somewhat regular basis, so I need to tell you, don't go there! Sure, I have a great time listening to the bands, enjoying the good food, friendly staff, and the great patio during the warmer months, but you wouldn't like it. You should not go there.“

“Picture a local small town bar and grille in your mind that has a full kitchen in the back. This is that place. It has the colorful local regulars, it has the nightly kitchen specials, and of course the MN staple of Bango. I love this place. If I could give one improvement it's tap beer is lacking, but for a Main Street bar I probably expect to much here.“

“I happened across this place while riding my motorcycle in Carver with my girlfriend. There were some nice bikes outside so I stopped in.My GF and I tried the Rueben Balls and Walleye Fingers. Both were fried to perfection and came out quick. The service was good even though the bartender had a lot of people to look after. The prices are very reasonable.Important note: I discovered you cannot tip with a credit card here and felt bad that I didn’t have any cash. Remember to bring cash. The bartender does a good job and works hard!“

“Stopped on Friday evening 2 weeks ago. Was not initially on my radar, but well worth a couple of extra turns away from Main St. Really nice setting, kind and courteous service. On paper, I ordered a burger and vegetable plate. The actual food I was delivered was so much more...a wonderful surprise addition to my Friday evening trip.“

“COZY AMERICAN DIVE-BAR EXPERIENCE AWARD ?BEST PIZZA IN TWIN CITIES AWARD ?OFF THE BEATEN PATH AWARD ?Arguably the best pizza this reviewer has ever had, outpacing even St Paul Italian pizzerias. If you want to take a quiet & quaint day trip out to the western suburbs of Minneapolis to the tiny town of St Bonifacius Minnesota for pizza, make SURE you make ‘Grumpys On Main’ your destination.Stopped by Saturday March 2nd 2023 about 2:30 pm after a day of shopping nearby. We knew what we wanted, but it’d been a while since we’d been in.The moment you pull up you realize you’re taking a step back in time as this bar/restaurant has many of its original features for your eyes to behold. Creaking floors and doors and a long wooden bar with window cut-outs showing the other non-barstool side of the place greet you on arrival. There is an outdoor fenced-in seating area with tables. Numerous large flatscreen TVs adorn the walls, each tuned to a different sports event. No need for dressy garb here. Regulars and old-timers at the bar will stretch their necks and stare to see ‘who walked in’ and soon as they find they don’t know you, they turn back to their tap beer & buddy conversations. Good selection of beer on tap and bottled beer, and spirits as well.We ordered a large pizza and a couple beers. Pepperoni, ham and green pepper. Nichole was our bartender and Alicia was our pizza server. They were both prompt and courteous.THE PIZZA IS DOWNRIGHT AMAZING. There’s so much fresh cheese melted on it that you’ll need napkins immediately. It is not greasy at all. Crust was medium thin and perfectly baked. Everything tasted fresh and ingredients were flavorful, the pizza’s red sauce was robust and no too tangy, just right. Once you take your first bite you’re hooked for good.Supplied at the non-assuming bar tables are grated Parmesan and red pepper flakes in restaurant glass shaker bottles, salt & pepper, plastic forks and small paper plates. There is no server on duty so you’ll need to communicate directly with the bartender for all orders. It was easy to speak to her between the window cutouts from our table. Other tables away from the cutouts will require you to walk to the bar for your orders.As with most things good, there was a wait time while our pizza was made, then cooked. It took about 15 minutes to receive our piping hot gooey cheesy pizza.We dug in immediately, and you know that OMG feeling you get when you taste something amazing? …well this was it.Two very cold beers rounded out the meal. It couldn’t have been any more the perfect American dive bar pizza experience.Highly recommended !Best Pizza Ever“

“Nestled in the heart of downtown St Boni, The Crossbar is the epitome of a classic dive bar. With its dimly lit interior, friendly atmosphere, and a solid selection of drinks, it's the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The no-frills vibe and affordable prices make it a favorite among locals. Whether you're looking for a cold beer, a game of Foosball, or just a laid-back evening, The Crossbar has you covered.“

“We are new Chaska residents and love a good legion, good thing we have one located right in town. We thought we would check it out for the first time and watch the NFL division championship games and were not disappointed. The place was packed with folks both young and old to enjoy their 2:00 Sunday bingo which was a blast. The wait staff and bartenders were very friendly and professional even under the pressure of being very busy. The chef came out to check on us several times to make sure we were happy and updated on our orders. He made everything with love and you could tell. The buffalo wings are large and taste awesome. Their not your usual mini wings with no meat that you see at most other places. The burgers are great too and I'd recommend the stuffed burger, it's killer. Don't forget to try one of their bloody marys with their homemade spicy vodka, they are to die for. Overall, a great day here at the Chaska legion capped by a Packers loss. We will definitely be headed back to the legion and can't wait to do so.“

“Grabbed some takeout today. Wanted to try the staples of bar food, wings and burger. On the way home, I thought I would sample the tots, little did I know, there were 2 pounds of them . Nice work, Hoppers! Breaded wings were crispy and delicious. Burger was damn good. While waiting for the food, my awesome bartender poured a fine beer and made a tasty bourbon lemonade for me. Will return.“

“The owner, the big B (Brian), is amazing. He is a great person l, honest with prices and amazing drinks. The atmosphere is so comfortable and you feel like you are family when you are here. I know the owner personally, but I give bad reviews when due, he has EARNED THIS. Amazing bar always come here.“

“Great atmosphereThe American Legion food is exceptional in terms of quality, taste, and variety. From classic American dishes to regional specialties, their menu offers something for everyone. The ingredients are fresh, and the dishes are prepared with great attention to detail. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave satisfied. The service is friendly and efficient, adding to the overall dining experience. Whether you're craving a juicy burger, a hearty steak, or a delicious seafood dish, the American Legion delivers on all fronts. Overall, the American Legion food is a must-try for anyone looking for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.“

“Dan the bar tender of the pub is a great guy and makes great conversation he makes great drinks and treats his guest with the up most respect! It’s always a good time if Dan is working the bar !!Parking: If there is a show going on be prepared to walk a ways away“

“Pullmans is really fun and it's a place I hate to love. We have a complicated history but I've never had a bad experience. The patrons and bar staff are really friendly and has a great atmosphere for late night drinking and darts.“

“The food is amazing and Troy the bartender (the bald one) makes the best bloody marys and old fashioneds in town. A great home town feel, reminds me of Cheers.The grilled cheese prime rib sandwich is the best sammy in town. The hand breaded wings are also the best in town.“

“This is your typical working man's bar with a huge deck to hang out on. It's basket food, but very good basket food! Nice atmosphere, friendly people, two or three pool tables 6 footers. Prices are very reasonable for both food and drinks.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice long ramp. Not steep. It's around back“

“We stopped in with 3 families including fours kids. The food was great, but the service was exceptional. We got seated right away, and there was no problem splitting the check, despite us sitting willy nilly. Everyone was happy with their food.“

“Burgers were fantastic and they have a weekly special for them. Service was friendly and quick and wait times were reasonable. The place is always busy, speaking volumes of how our local community enjoys the restaurant. I have yet to have a bad experience or meal here.“

“My recent dining experience was an absolute explosion of flavor! The calamari was a perfect introduction - crispy, tender, and bursting with freshness. It's definitely a contender for my all-time favorite appetizer.The burger was a revelation. The patty itself was juicy and flavorful, but the real star was the especial sauce. It added a depth and complexity that took the burger to a whole new level.The flank steak? Wow. It wasn't just delicious, the texture was incredible - melt-in-your-mouth fluffy. A true testament to the chef's skill. I do appreciate the staff who recommended me to have it medium so that I enjoy the tenderness as well as the flavor!And then came dessert: a decadent symphony of chocolate in 50 shades. It was rich, satisfying, and the perfect ending to a phenomenal meal. To top it all off, the flan was equally delightful.The staff were super amazing and friendly, attentive, and always there to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. The view of the lake added the finishing touch to a truly memorable evening. Summer can't come soon enough so I can have a seat outside and enjoy it all again!“

“Some guy drank himself silly and puked all over the floor. Luckily a regular patron named Bob ran over, grabbed a mop and bucket and fixed the situation immediately. Bob’s a hero, the guy that got sick is not.I also hear that their bowling squad is elite.Vegetarian options: No meat in the beers.“

“It's a bit packed on weekend evenings and warm summer nights, but it's always worth the wait. One of my all-time favorites here is the Chipotle Bowl, which features brown rice, black beans, jerk-seasoned chicken, and avocado dip.Parking can be challenging. I recommend making reservations and planning extra time to find a parking spot.“

“Prices for food were ok. shots were over priced. They should have explained a large beer was 20 Oz not 16.Food was great!Parking: Parking was fine, Chaska road construction messed it up but parking in back was fine.Wheelchair accessibility: There is an elevator.“

“This local pub has a great selection of beers on tap and some pretty good food too. The revolving tap list is on the chalk board. The food is better than average bar food. Great sandwiches, I tried the small plate reubens and they were delicious. They have daily specials which are also on the chalkboard. I think that they have live music here too. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere was perfect. The only reason for the 4 stars not 5 is because of lack of table/counter space by the bowling. We ordered 2 plates and drinks and so did the other group. We had to share a small table and it was hard with kids in both groups to make sure they were not eating the other groups food.“

“The wife and I came here tonight for the first time. The service was excellent and the people were nice. I had the walleye burger and it was amazingly awesome. The wife had the prime rib and it was also excellent. We would most definitely come back here again.“

“A true dive bar in downtown Shakopee. Always a fun time as they serve strong mixed drinks and a good tap and canned beer selection. Can't beat the prices. When bar and brewery hopping downtown Shakopee, Babe's stands out as being a true original.“

“The food is fantastic. We sat by the bar, and it got a bit loud. There are different areas though that would seem right for dates, family eating and even events. The staff is very friendly and helpful. While our actual waiter was less impressive, the manager was friendly and stopped by to see how things were. When she noticed we were done eating, she cleared our dishes right away. My son also broke a glass. The bartender and another waiter came over to clear the glass and wipe up the spill. All the while smiling, letting us know it happens all the time and not to worry.“

“I have frequented Houlihan's for years. Bit sad the fried cheese hasn't been on the menu, but the bruschetta IS AMAZING, so that makes up for it! Annie, the bartender is great at her job, efficient, and so friendly. She gets to know her customers and remembers details from any conversation. She makes a customer feel like they are cared about and their business is appreciated. The same goes for Art. He always remembers our names and asks us how things are going. It like the "Cheers" of Chanhassen.“

“The salad was delicious, the Bleu cheese dressing was Awesome.I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The chicken was good but the Alfredo sauce was missing the cream, the garlic and the Parmigiano.I basically has a lightly seasoned butter sauce; I even had my wife try it to get her opinion. Her pasta dinner also was bland.It's possible that Axel's may Excell as a Steak and Seafood house but pasta is definitely Not their strongest meal choice.“
