A wide selection on interesting microbrews and housemade food, two of my favorite things. I had a flight of really interesting beers -- the Pumking was pumpkin pie in a glass, in a good way. The Philly cheesesteak was a traditional Philly with juicy meat and cheese sauce, very good. The house made chips were phenomenal. Only regret is not having any French onion dip for them (I didn't even ask) because they were on point for dipping. All in all a worthwhile stop. Oh and also, if the weather's nice, there's a roofbar -- don't miss it like I did!

Great sandwiches, I recommend the one with chicken in batter, really good. The beer is mostly light, in the classic USA, but there is... good quality price

Stopped here for lunch on a Saturday while exploring the city and walking back from the Art museum to downtown. I was worth the stop, the beer and beer selection was good and the grilled chicken sandwich was good as well. I liked the self-payment system using your iphone with a payment app. Would recommend

This is a go to place for beer lovers. Brewery has an action vibe to it. Food choices, especially Philly cheesesteak were deemed very good. Service was acceptable but not exceptional.

Went here on a Tuesday night for $1 wing night and would definitely return if I am ever in Philly again. Other nights have different specials. Check website for details. Lots of great beer choices but the food was phenomenal. Wings were big and had a crisp on the outside but were tender on the inside with a nice mild sauce. Also had the pretzel with cheese, which was very good too. As any good pub does, got louder in here as the evening wore on. This place is what all brewpubs should aspire to but so few actually are this good. Service was good and friendly. Located just a five minute walk from the Sheraton hotel on 17th St and right on Benjamin Franklin Parkway

We stopped here for drinks and a snack. The bars were crowded and the hostess went out of her way to get us a table upstairs. I had wine and my husband had beer. We shared a delicious warm soft pretzel. It was served with mustard and a cheese sauce. Indoor and outdoor seating is available.

Stopped by for a few beers - top notch location, friendly staff and great beers. Would visit again!

Noisy brew pub conveniently located at 17th and the Parkway. Place had a good time vibe. Bar tenders were great, and helped find alternatives when the first three beers we ordered were no longer available. The food was really good, and the price was budget friendly, especially for the city. Chicken pot pie was excellent. The Korean Brussels sprouts are very, very spicy. And while at first it seems like a bad idea, the pistachio cannolis were fabulous!! You get two so it’s easy to share.

Clean bar food. Good atmosphere. Modern and clean inside. Not a good place to sit and do work if you need to talk on the phone, it’s loud inside. If you’re there to eat drink and be merry, it’s a good option. It’s not a “must visit” kinda place, but it’s a good option if you’re in the area.

Although is primarily a bar, there is a good selection of other food besides classic bar food. Salmon with couscous was excellent! Large selection of beers which my fellow diners enjoyed. I had wine which was also quite good. Service was very good.

The food there was abysmal and had no flavor whatsoever would never go again and food took forever, and food took forever 2 stars.

I was keen to visit a Philly brewery and so was pleased to find this one, which promised so much. Good selection of beers and nice facilities, what’s not to like? Well firstly, there are no tasting notes or descriptions for the wide choice of beers. The staff will offer you a taster but in our visit, they failed to mention that you can try a flight of beers. The service is ok, but you have to catch the attention of staff, who seem more preoccupied with one another than they are with customers, or the product. So at the end I felt somewhat deflated. No friendly goodbyes and I therefore declined to purchase any merchandise, nor do I feel any great inclination to return. A pity and a wasted opportunity. Maybe if we were in our 20’s , we’d have been treated differently?! Never mind - other breweries are available!

Wow. Awesome vibes, delicious food and an overall great night out. our server Anthony M was a delight and came over to us excited and happy we were there. He made a great drink recommendation and convinced me on the chicken sandwich. His kind demeanor and clever jokes made us feel at home and like we’d known him our whole life. It really makes you remember that the dining staff can make or break a restaurant, and I would say he made it all the more special. This won’t be our last time at Victory and we plan for it to be our go to stop when having friends visit it. Thank you Victory, thank you Anthony and thank you Chicken sandwich!!!

Great relaxed atmosphere and the variety of beers was great. Had to have two flights to sample the brews that interested me. Donny was great and very helpful.

After visiting the Franklin Insititute we walked over to the Victory Brewing Company for lunch. The place was busy but not crowded, and the staff was friendly. Not only was the beer good, but the food was even better than expected. I would go back on my next visit to Philly.

Great beer, nice atmosphere and terrific service. We really enjoyed the beers and the food. Service provided by Jesse was extraordinary.

This was my first visit to Philly for a work conference and I went to the brewery on the last night here. It was just what I wanted. I was solo so I sat at the bar. The bartenders were attentive and I ordered the Chicken pot pie wuth a beer, and it was delicious! I highly recommend it. There was a ton of chicken in it and the crust was crispy and tasty along with the vegetables. Excellent! I love Philly, what a great city!

Very busy on a Friday night, so I just bought some beer out of the cooler in the lobby. Took it back to the hotel and enjoyed. Even bought a metal Victory sign to hand in my bar at home!

We enjoyed an early dinner. Great location, nice view, good food and beer, good and prompt service. Recommended for couples, or groups.

First stop here for a light lunch, and we had a very good experience. A great staff provided very attentive service, and the menu had lots of good choices. The smoked chicken appetizer is not a dieter's choice, but it was very good with a generous portion of chicken. The main courses were solid as well. The only comment is that this place was cold! Part of the reason may have been that not many people were there, and the decor did not have many soft surfaces. Overall, solid choice.

Impromptu visit on way back to hotel. Great little boozer with CHASE as server. Great knowledge of beers and food (we have difficulty with food because of allergens). Would deffo recommend for an evening.

First music trivia night upstairs. Bartender Jesse was helpful & super sweet. She recommended the brussel sprouts (on special) - the best we ever had!! Beautiful new venue for a locally rooted craft brewery. The beer brewed only at this venue was fantastic!

Good was okay, maybe good, but service was terrible. It appeared that they need more staff. Our waitress had too many tables. Service was poor. I would not return.

Great location, great beer, great staff and great food too. They do not have a kids menu, but they catered to our kids just fine.

Disappointing service, a mouse running around, and we felt like we were imposing. We visited on a Monday lunchtime and all was very quiet. The server said if we got the flight we get five small serves for the price of three. Serves are $3 each and you get five in a flight. That makes five serves for $15 rather than three serves for $9. There is no value benefit to ordering five rather than three. The food was fine and came out fast. The beers were okay and there is a big selection. By the end of our time we felt like we were imposing on a staff get together. They may not have been able to help the mouse running around, but they could have shown more understanding that it was a disconcerting site as we were eating. They were probably geared down at a quiet time, but good places provide good service regardless of the circumstances.

Came here for later dinner around 7pm. The post-work happy hour crowd must have just left because there was plenty of space on a Wednesday night. We were sat immediately and our server took our drink orders right away. We put in food and it all came out very quickly. I got the Steakhouse Burger and I think it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. They were able to accommodate me not wanting steak sauce and instead let me put the Nashville Hot Aioli on it. Amazing. Our server was good about checking in with us enough where we were paid attention to but it wasn't too much. We love Victory and as always we will definitely be back.

Went to the Victory Brewing Company for beers on a Saturday night, good location near Logan Square, just down from our hotel. Lots of beer choices, we did not eat anything so cannot comment on the menu.

Was craving chicken pot pie…and found it on this menu. Good service. Bar very busy with pre football game and post work drinks. Loads of beer options as it is a micro brewery. Noisy and sports every where. But you expect this in a brewery! Not complaining! Good standard chicken and beer great.

Visited here with some work colleagues after a days work. The bar staff took great care of us right from the off. The beers we ordered were very tasty, and the food was equally so! As well as our individual food orders we ordered a side of nachos for the table and they were amazing. Easily enough for 4 people. Definitely a place I will go back to if I’m ever in Philly again

Victory never really disappoints. If anything, it’s consistent. The food is bar food and the beer is good. They have a great rooftop bar / restaurant. Even though it seemed busy we actually got a table on the roof rather quickly. It has a fun vibe and the service is pretty good.

First time visit and went based on TA reviews. Nice location in Philly. Sidewalk seating and lots of people watching. Big bar with seating on 3 sides. Friendly bartenders. Huge beer menu plus spirits. Bar seats are tight so we decided to eat dinner at a table. Sat outside. Friendly service. Small menu with typical brew pub options. We had cheesesteak which was good and a BLT which was good. Cute shop with Victory branded apparel.

I am writing to share a disappointing experience my husband and I had during our recent visit to your restaurant located at 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Philadelphia, PA 19103. While visiting Philadelphia, we decided to stop in and try your beer. We arrived at approximately 1:15 p.m. and were warmly greeted by a young woman at the front. We informed her that we preferred to sit outdoors, ideally on the rooftop. She said we were welcome to sit outside but wasn’t sure if rooftop seating was available. I asked if we could check the rooftop ourselves, and she agreed, stating we could sit at a table if one was available. When we reached the rooftop, we saw two unoccupied tables and sat at one. After waiting some time with no service, I went to the outdoor bar to order drinks. There was a small reserved sign on the table stating that guests needed to speak to a host to be seated, which we had already done downstairs—so we assumed we were fine to stay. A short time later, we decided to move to the next table over for a slightly better view of the TV broadcasting the Phillies game. As we were in the process of moving, a young man approached us and very abruptly informed us that we could not sit at that table and must be seated by a host. I began to explain that we had already spoken to the hostess, but he continued to interrupt, raising his voice and insisting we return downstairs. He made no attempt to listen, confirm with the hostess, or de-escalate the situation. At one point, he loudly demanded to know where we had gotten our drinks from, implying that we were in the wrong. I told him I ordered them from the outdoor bar due to the lack of table service. Despite our efforts to explain, his tone remained aggressive and condescending, and the entire interaction became extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing, especially as other guests began to take notice. We were shocked and upset by how disrespectfully we were treated. My husband was particularly disturbed by how the young man spoke to me and the way we were made to feel—as though we had done something wrong by simply sitting at an available table. We relocated to the indoor bar where the bartender—who was kind and attentive—could see how visibly upset we were. We explained what had happened, and she apologized, mentioning that the young man was new and acknowledging that the situation could have been handled much more professionally. She also admitted that there was a need for a better system for managing rooftop seating. For your reference, the employee in question was tall, thin, and wearing a green shirt at the time. We finished our drinks and left. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression and marred what should have been a pleasant stop on our trip. While several members of your staff were courteous, the way we were treated on the rooftop was unacceptable. It’s disappointing to be spoken to with such hostility and disregard, especially when we had done our due diligence by checking with the hostess beforehand. We even contacted the companies upper management with no reply. Much better experience all around at Iron Hill Brewery.

The Victory Brewing Company has decent food items in a traditional sports bar setting in Logan Square. I had the chili, short rib pasta & tres leches cake for dinner. All items were good: the chili was flavorful without going overboard with the spices and the tres leches cake was generous with a nice Oreo cookie crumb topping. Note the sports bar atmosphere can get a little noisy as things get crowded; it won't be easy to carry on a conversation.
Get the burger!
Great location with a nice selection of beers, including some Philly exclusives. Get the burger, it was unbelievable.
