Great place to hang out for good music, food, and dancing. The owner was friendly and gracious for our party. The drink towerr looks cool, but not the greatest. We really had a great time there.

My wife and I go to Victors every Thursday for the buffet from 5:30 to 8:30 for the price of a drink Its really good and attracts an easy crowd. Tony has the best playlist of music but not so loud you cant have a decent conversation. The drinks are great and the place on the whole is very enjoyable to meet with your friends for a few hours. Definitely recommend you try it.

Made a reservation and still had to wait 15 mins to be sat, but it was incredibly busy. The restaurant is really neat and disco like. Mirrored walls and lights on the dance floor. Ordered a coke and it came in a can and the bread is very delicious! Overall a good fish fry if you are not in a hurry.

This is a great bar to go with a group of friends. Their fish fry is one of THE BEST in Milwaukee!!

It is surprisingly the best fish fry I ever had. I had a ton of fish frys in my life time. I didnt believe it until I went there myself and gave it a try. The past 10 years going there for a fish fry set the bar high. This place surpassed my expectations. Believe the hype!

This place has the best music and the best food for really affordable prices on Thursday from 5:30 to 8:30pm. It’s super cool location and great place !!

Went there for new years for two years now. This year they raised the entry price from $5 to $15...and all the drinks were raised by an extra $2. There was no champagne toast anymore and the place was messy and not put together to handle a large crowd of people and it was impossible to get any one to serve drinks. Definitely not worth the money and I will definitely not be back anytime soon.

Good spot to go and nice mixed of crowd as far as age and demographics. Only bad thing is they got rid of free pizza on Thursday nights and I notice if it’s not crowded my drinks are stronger, maybe cause they can key in on me. If it’s crowded they hand me my drink real quick and it’s a lil watered down

Great place always has a great dj and a good selection of music. Usually isnt crowded and there are plenty of people who are there to actually dance and have a good time. Not like Trinity where its always packed and all anyone does is stand around. Usually theres a place to sit with your friends when you are tired of dancing. Gotta commend the DJ really like how he plays off the crowd and will let a song loop for awhile if alot of people seem to be enjoying it. Guy also usually has a decent spread of good music to dance to in a night youll dance to funk, to early 2000s bangers, to some modern music. Its very rare the song changes and it isnt something you dont want to dance to.

Cougar alert!!! Always seems to be the hot spot for cougars on the prowl! Great place if youre a young guy looking for an older woman or for women like me (mid thirties) looking to avoid the obnoxious college crowd.

Always a good time. A Different experience every time. Its like a wedding reception everyday of the week, with all the clientele of a typical Wedding reception. the food is great as well, Mixed drinks, meh. But no one gos there for the Fancy drinks. unless you get VIP bottle service, then its worth it!

Bartender says they’ll get back to you, and then leaves you hanging. Then someone who just got there that they know, they’ll serve them. I understand that bartenders have friends and all, but they rather serve their friends who they give free drinks too, than serving actual customers who PAY for their drinks. I don’t recommend this place if you are not familiar with “Asians” because Patrick and them bartenders won’t serve you fairly.

Service was horrible, server was rude when we complained and the food was mediocre at best. It took 30 minutes to get our salads, and another 45 minutes to get the first entree, 55 minutes to get the last entree. We were one of three tables, so it was not busy. One person in our party sent their baked tilapia back because it didnt taste right and another was served rare prime rib that was tough and refrigerator cold. Plenty of other restaurants in the area. Never going back.

This place is so fun and bizarre. Such a good vibe on a Thursday, not overly packed but plenty of dancing and girls drink free. Also, they bring out free pizzas. I think the guy who does it is actually victor and he’s so nice! Anyways, this post is mostly for the pizza guy.

Review №24

I go here to have fun but tonight made it the worst night ever. I paid for shots that I know I paid for then all of a sudden another bartender said I didn’t pay for it and proceeded to argue with me. The chick who took my money then replied, “I don’t remember taking her payment.” Piss me off because I paid for the drinks twice. I felt like they took advantage because they probably thought I was drunk.

Review №26

After going there for fifteen years off and on well be finding another place to go for my birthday this year. The last four times I was there the music sucked. To be perfectly honest thats the only reason I started going there years ago because, I dont really drink all that much since I dont go out a whole lot. Now it has signs saying no drinks on the dance floor. No problem with that. Ive stepped on plenty of glass before. The problem is that the dance floor is EMPTY. I dont go out to drink so much as I go to dance. I always preferred Victors to other places even with its reputation as a meat market because the dancing was great and the crowd wasnt stuck up. Since the tide has turned to bad music, empty dance floors and a crowd I dont like Ill be moving to something different. Its pretty bad when you can tell everyone isnt into the music.

Great place for dining before you go out - but if youre already there for an outstanding dinner stay for the nightlife which picks up around 10pm. Also, great for drinks after work, or dancing later in the evening. They have special events most weeks which are not well advertised. Youd have to check out their social media for those

Review №32

In my early 20s I walked in and felt out of place as being to young to hang out here. Now in my fifty’s, I cannot see why I would have ever thought about hanging here. The drinks were not even as good as poorly mixed, the decor is dated the music confused and the small Friday night crowd all seemed to wish they were somewhere else. And a $5 cover? IMHO there are many better spots to visit in Milwaukee

We went to Victors for something to eat and a few drinks. The bill for the food arrived and was $29.15 Pre-Tip Amt and seemed a bit high. There were no prices listed on the receipt. A quick check of math showed they included an 18% tip into the Pre-Tip Amt. I asked the waitress, she denied the tip was included, and wanted my copy of the receipt, then explained the policy was adding 18% on all bills to the Pre-Tip Amt. She tried to take my copy of the receipt from me. I spoke to the manager, who quickly refunded all of my money, then came back and re-charged me for dinner. It was very shady, and I will not return to eat here again. BTW- The bar and the food are completely separate in Victors, with separate managers.

Of you want the novelty of feeling like you are in the dance club scene from scarface, go here! This place has a definite retro 80s feel to it, which is one of things that make it fun. It was dead the last time we were there, but I think we were just early. Check it out for a laugh!

Review №37

Came in to grab some drinks at bar with some friends and an older guy next to me started telling my friends and I the empty seats we are sitting on are taken. We moved 4-5 seats down and the guy continued telling us they were also taken. I got fed up and sat right next to him and asked him why those seats were taken when clearly no one was sitting there. No jackets or purses were anywhere near them. He continued yelling at me but I ignored him and was going to order my drink when he grabbed my head and head locked me. I finally got out of his hold while all my friends came rushing by me. The bouncer pulled me aside and I demanded to talk to the owner. The owner came by and we asked the owner why they didnt kick the guy out when he attacked me first. Owner said those seats were taken even though they were not there at that time. Never knew you can claim seats or heard of such a rule at any bars I went to. The owner said hell buy all of us beer and call it good but I refused. I wanted an apology from the guy who attacked me but the owner simply said, I cannot help you there. He said if we dont calm down hes going to kick us out????? He even acknowledge seeing me get attacked and yet didnt do anything besides bribing us with beer. Very unprofessional. Owner was either racist, knew the guy who attacked me or just being an ass that night. Never going there again.

Office get together and dinner was ruined by rude host and slow service. Half of our party had to leave without eating. We were the 1st group seated and 5th group that the waitress came to. That was only after I went over to the host and asked what we needed to do to get service. Only plus was the bread which was very good. We asked for separate checks and were told she couldnt because they did thing by hand. That makes no sense. I had placed a to go order so I received a separate check. I gave the waitress my card and asked if she could hurry because I needed to leave. I watched her write up other checks for 15 minutes before I had to walk over and say I need to leave. My take out was cold after waiting, I was late because she took so long and I have no plans to ever go back.

Called to arrange for a party package for my bachelorette party. Spoke with Victor who had no idea what the party packages consisted of so I had read the website to him.Arrived, and none of the staff were aware that there was a party for that night. The bouncers gave my friends a hard time about entering without paying the cover charge as they were not aware of the party either.Met Victor who, again, didnt have a clue as to what was included in the bachelorette package. I had to pull up their website and show him what we were supposed to get.Pay the bill, and a bit later their staff insults me. I take Victor aside to let him know, and while Im speaking to him he just turns around and walks away.Very fun atmosphere, but their staff and Victor were clueless, very rude, and unprofessional.

I always have, always will enjoy going to Victors!! It still has that party, fun, DiScO vibe atmosphere. Im glad they are still here as many downtown clubs from back in the day, are no longer around. Just to name a few: Club Marilyn, Bogies, The Barron, Tom Shepherds, Park Avenue, Pappagaio, Sonnys on Broadway, Olivers, Rapport, Hungry Lions, Interns East, Aliotos East. May the force be with you Victors!!

I went here and was treated in an extremely rude and unprofessional manner. When we received our drinks, they were very weak. We asked the bartender (who we later discovered was the manager) for an a little more votka. He said that what we got was standard and that we wold have to pay $3.50 extra dollars for more votka. When questioned, the manager became angry and very vocal about it. I then became angry and let him know about it. He then rudely said, you have a nice mouth. Will NEVER pay a dime again at this incredibly unprofessional establishment!

They Asked Me And My Friends Who Are All Black To Take Off Are Team Hats Before We Walked In But Then I See Two White People Walking Around The Bar With Bucks Hat Just Like Mine When me and my friends left I confronted the security guard and told him how I felt about that situation and I was gonna write bad review on them for being racist and that I would never step foot in that place again. Victors Is Racist For Profiling Black Customers And Not Doing The Same With White Customers
