Victory Hotel

Came here for a Friday lunch. Perfect little beer garden in the middle of the city. Where else can you get $10 jugs if beer. It was pretty busy on a friday lunch so its best to book if coming in a large group. We got their calamari and chips and their steak and chips which came with ceaser salad. Good portion sizes. We both polished our plates. Good atmosphere.

$3 Steak on Sundays! Great Deal!. A $3 steak; how could we pass that up? If you can get past the mediocre bar staff and slight lack of cleanliness, then you’ll find that this is a fantastic deal!

Looking for a place to have lunch on Sunday (16 December), my partner noticed a sign for $3 Steaks at the Victory Hotel. Why not, we thought and entered into the court yard with lots of seats outside, with some of them covered.

We asked one of the bar maids what the steaks came with and she answered we could order chips for an additional $2. This Sunday deal seemed to be getting better and better.

We decided to order some drinks and looked through the big selection of what was on tap. We asked about one of them and the two bar maids seemed to have no clue. Nor did they seem friendly, enthusiastic or even appreciative that we were there. They were however, dutifully dressed to be “eye candy” behind the bar, but I guess that’s where their job description may have ended. I ordered a bottle of Tooheys Old beer and my partner had a pint of Bulmers Cider which came to $11.95.

Having been given a pager for when our food was ready for pick-up, we went to find seats. Finding a table in the covered section we sat down. Near my seat, however, I had stepped in a big piece of gum, obviously left by some of the clientele who one would imagine frequenting this place. Charming.

Our pager went off and my partner wen to retrieve our meals. Turns out that the $2 chips were actually chips and salad.

Digging in, our medium-rare steaks had been cooked to medium, with only a slight trace of pinkness inside. They were still very tender and had a light salty seasoning on it, so overall, it was still quite tasty.

The salad served with it was a Caesar salad, which was a nice change from the usually served green salad. The only problem with this was that the salad had been served warm. I ate it anyway because I was hungry, but a note to the kitchen, perhaps keep an eye on this to prevent complaints to the health department.

The chips were very hot and fresh. With a descent amount of salt and a crispy golden outside, they were fabulous bar chips!

I am going to vote that I like this restaurant but it is ONLY based on the food we ate. $5 for a well-sized lunch of fairly good quality is certainly a place I’ll be coming back to.

Ordered the Mexican topped Chicken Parmi for lunch. The portion size was great with generous sides to complement. For $15, It'd on the mark for a sit down lunch in the city, add their tap beer special for $5 and your on a winner 🏆. The staff are friendly with no BS. Cheers Victory 🍻

Extremely friendly, professional and good looking staff. Such a good atmosphere with the good vibes from the staff and the great music going on in the background taking everyone to the next level. Might end my google review night here. Think it's the best scene I'm goanna find in Brisbane. Well done guys.

This was my first time going out to the pub alone in a city I did not know. I popped in for 1 drink and ended up staying until closing time. Super friendly staff members, great music and just an all around great environment to be in. I found myself coming back every night I was staying in the city. Highly recommended!
