The Victor Tavern - 6th & Lenora - Yummy burger, fries, sauces, and Shirley Temple! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We enjoyed our meal before the Charley Crockett show. We wanted a place that was close to the hotel and somewhat close to the 5th Avenue. We also were looking for a pub style menu that wasn't fine dining. The Victor Tavern was the perfect stop. The food was excellent and the service was also right on. Penelope was very engaging and quite friendly and timely in her service. My wife has the Mac n' cheese which she said was excellent. I had a tasty fried Chicken Sandwich with fries, on a Brioche Bun, that was also perfectly prepared. We started with a Fremont Sky Kracken Pale and an Argyle Pinot Noir. Both were excellent. Thank you Victor Tavern for being exactly what we were looking for. read more

We recently visited Victor Tavern and had a bit of a mixed experience. On a positive note, we were greeted right away and seated promptly, which was a great start. We stopped in during happy hour and really enjoyed a couple of items from that menu--the salt and pepper fries were absolutely delicious, and the Caesar salad was generous enough to split and very satisfying. Unfortunately, the service didn't keep up after that initial impression. Once our food was delivered, it was difficult to get anyone's attention, and no one came back to check on us or take additional orders--we had planned to order the chicken tenders but never got the chance. As for drinks, I would probably skip the house red wine, as it wasn't very enjoyable, and the Old Fashioned leaned much sweeter than expected. Overall, while the happy hour menu has some great options, the lack of attentive service made the experience fall short. read more

We were greeted and seated right away. The place itself is large and nicely decorated. We were immediately asked if we knew what we wanted to drink, which caught us a bit off guard. Right after that, we were told there would be a 20% service charge added to the bill. I didn't really like that--I've seen this for large parties, but for just two people it felt odd. It also felt strange to be told about a service charge before any service was actually provided. The food was honestly very mid--wildly average and nothing memorable, especially for the price. The mocktail lacked any complexity and was overly syrupy and sweet. Overall, I think it's a fine place if you want a quick bite and nothing else in the area sounds good. read more

Started the meal off with fried polenta. These are fried cornmeal bites with a side of aioli for dipping. These are hard to find in a restaurant so if you do, order them. You won't be disappointed with the crunchy outside and creamy inside with a kick of aioli. The crispy wich sandwich and side salad was a filling happy hour meal. These double stacked sandwich with extra crunchy fish and coleslaw was a savory sandwich that satisfied my hunger. read more

Came here for a late dinner and everybody seemed to enjoy their food. The tavern is dimly lit and with a nice ambience for either a couple or family. Three of us had sandwiches my wife had a salad and the service from Steve was amazing. All plates clean!!!! read more

Walked here after Sue Bird tribute game to let traffic die down. Ordered a 12oz Prime Rib. They didn't ask how I want it done so I assume it's one of the reheat versions vs the cool high volume cart places you find in other cities sliced fresh. Came out between medium and well done, well seasoned and doused with au jus. Pretty good for what it is. The sides are great and service attentive. Paid using inKind as that's how I discovered this place. 20% built in service charge clearly displayed in app after noticing it defaulted to only 5% tip rate. read more

Amazing vibe located downtown on 6th Ave. Came here solo on a Thursday evening at 4:30 pm. Like most places in Seattle HH starts at 3 until 6 or 5-6 pm. Chose to sit at one of the high top seats facing the bar which gave me a great view of the kitchen where the servers picked up the food and on the other end I saw people entering and getting seated by the Host. They also have a mezzanine in which there was a private event taking place but was told it had couches and a pool table(s). Started off with a glass of the Argyle Bloom House Pinot Noir which was not a HH item along with the Calamari which had wings and tentacles. The Pinot paired nicely with my appetizer. Ordering a second glass of wine I had Max who was my server fire up the 8 oz prime rib which was nicely done with the broccolini and Yukon Mash. The main dining bar area was busy when I first arrived but soon emptied out as folks wanted to get their HH prices before heading home after work. This is definitely a place to wind down after a busy day as well as catching up with friends or for a date night out. Highly recommend this place and hope to be back the next time I'm in the Emerald City. read more

First Impressions - called a Tavern but very upscale Tavern located across from Amazon Spheres..stopped in as first meal in Seattle on recommendation from some locals that eat at the Bagel shop attached. The service was very good, greeted promptly and seated. Informed about 20% tip included before l ordered, which is fine ...the usual tip in big city. Soft music plays in the background and l liked that you could see into the kitchen while chef prepared meal. Food - ordered Rodeo Burger - Patty to Num Ratio was excellent. Bun nice and toasted..The Beef had a solid taste, The regular fries - just fries nothing too special. I would return typical downtown, big- city prices but in a relaxed setting read more

Cool little bar with a great selection of food and beers in a relaxed environment. The prime rib and stadium fries were my favorites asking with a couple of old fashions. The service was prompt and the good came out quickly. Will definitely be back. read more

Went looking for a late dinner after watching "A Christmas Carol". Decided to try The Victor Tavern for their $9 after 9pm special, really an unheard of price in Seattle. We split the Phoenix and the Reuben. I like a lot of spice, the Phoenix wasn't spicy enough for me, but perfect for my partner. In simple terms it's probably just about the right amount of spice for most people. The corned beef on the Reuben was a little dry, but I'm chalking that up to arriving at 9:30pm. I should mention the sandwiches are ala cart, but unless you're trying to soak up a bunch of booze who really needs a big pile of fries that late in the evening. The facility has a great vibe, music at the appropriate volume and very friendly waitstaff. Now how about $35 out the door for 2 sandwiches and a beer?? From now on both times each year that I'm out after 9 o'clock I'm going here. read more

Definitely come here if you want over-priced, over-cooked burgers. We got 2 burgers, one kids cheeseburger, and a happy hour Caesar that came to $96. Oh, and they automatically add 20% tip. The burgers were basically burnt, and I opted for a side salad with mine that was just a pile of greens in a bowl. Mostly annoyed at myself for wasting my money and wasting a meal in a city with so many good options. read more

Delightful experience! Food was tasty, service was great, and our server was friendly and personable! Everything we ordered was delicious! The atmosphere was wonderful and family friendly! Highly recommend The Victor Tavern if you are in Seattle! read more

I came here for lunch one day and I was definitely not disappointed. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a well stocked bar and an upscale tavern feel. It wasn't busy at all so I would say lunch is the best time to go if you want some privacy. Our food was amazing. The group ordered burgers, chicken sandwiches and calamari. The calamari wasn't that great but it did not take away from how good everything else was. The chicken sandwich was enormous. It was literally twice the size of your normal sandwich. I'm not sure if the picture will do it justice. If you are in the downtown area check this place out. read more

The staff had no sense of urgency and little social skills, it took us way too long to be seated, acknowledged by anyone, and to receive a bill. The vibes were just weird. Food was mediocre, burger was grey when it came out. Not worth the money. Don't forget that 20% service charge held by the house "cause employees are paid fairly". read more

The Victor Tavern was the perfect affordable and excellent option for a quick dinner while I was staying in the Belltown area. Great food, fantastic beer, fun atmosphere and wonderful staff. I happened to eat early both times I visited, and the happy hour menu was just the ticket. Highly recommended! read more

Lovely restaurant. I had the chop salad & really liked the bacon in it. Otherwise there wasn't anything too special about it. My daughter had a burger & liked it. read more

We came into Victor Tavern early on a Friday night and were seated quickly. We ate off the happy hour menu, which was a great deal. When we were seated we were told gratuity was included, so we didn't need to add anything to else... I assumed this meant they were a no-tip restaurant, but they actually just tacked on an additional 22% hard-coded tip at the end. We got the Everything Pretzels, which were more like rolls. We shared the Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad which was decent. The victory burger was also decent. Overall, it was a fine experience. read more

Nut allergy friendly: Everything I had was good! There aren't too many dishes with nuts, if at all. Maybe desserts. We walked over from Seattle Convention Center and showed up at 8:40PM on a Sunday with a group of 7 with no reservation and were seated relatively quickly at a long table that easily fit us. Enjoyed a drink on the all-day Sunday happy hour before the $9-after-9PM even better happy hour hit. I ordered a Truffle Burger (4.5/5) and tried my friend's French Dip (4.5/5). The late night menu is the same size as the standard (or so we were told). For $9, the value here is crazy. Maybe one of the best late-night (well, late-dinner really) options in the area. We did 3 orders of Happy Hour Fries and one order of calamari for the 7 of us. Quality here varied - the first two orders were okay, but the last one came out fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy. Maybe they turned the fryers back on just for us... Paid via inKind with only one minor issue (had to get some corrections because of the happy hour shift). Overall, stellar late night option for the value that I'd definitely return to after a long convention day. read more

3.5 Stars Awesome, stylish interior. Menu is simple with bar fare - burgers and some tasty entrees. For food, tried - Spicy Calamari ($16) - was nice and very crispy, especially dipped in the aioli Prime Rib ($42 for 12 oz) - loved the fatty bits, the succulent pink part, and the herby exterior. The garlic mashed potatoes were also divine. BF & his brother said the drinks weren't good - one drink went unfinished even! Polite staff. read more

I've been to this restaurant quite a few times over the past couple years. I have noticed a decline in their food quality and also having smaller portions. I don't mind the smaller portions if the food was better but unfortunately it's not as good as it once was. read more

Victor tavern The area of South Lake union has expanded so much. I was here on a busy day, by the spheres. There was a booth handing out free bananas. The steps to Amazon were blocked because of aggressive crows protecting their young. Toured here and then went across the street to the Victoria Tavern. My friend and I decided not to order from the food trucks here, even though the smells were delicious. Wanted a sit down place. The Victor Tavern is an upscale sports bar. We were welcomed and gratefully sat down to relax. We started out with drinks. I love coffee drinks, so ordered. the Chai Espresso Martini . This has Vodka, cold brew, chai, coffee liqueur. This had a mix of chai and coffee flavors. It needed a stronger coffee and chai presence, it was a little weak in flavor. My friend ordered a unique sounding drink, the Tipperary. This is Irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, green chartreuse, bitters, orange zest. He really enjoyed the complex mix of flavors in this drink. The ingredients do not seem to work together, but he said it was good. Our next order was artichoke dip. This came with tortilla chips and was a bit more spicy than I like. My friend ordered the French Dip. This came withthinly shaved prime rib, griddled onion, horseradish mayo, sourdough roll, au jus. With a French dip, the prime rib and au jus are the key ingredients to this dish. The au jus could have had more depth to the broth. But the other elements to the dish, made the sandwich divine. I had the salmon, that came with roasted asparagus, potato, shallot, herb gremolata. The salmon unfortunately was overcooked. The accompanying sides were small portions but quite good. Nice array of flavors. Just seemed as if my salmon had sat too long before being served. Ordered a bottle of the alluring name of ESR x Avennia 'Frank the Tank' Bordeaux Blend, to go with our food. Service was attentive throughout our meal. I wish I could live in the apartment building the restaurant is housed in. I would hang out here in the evening, drinking and eating. Then, stumble afterwards to my apartment, happy. The food and drinks could be better, but the hang out vibe is great. You are paying big money for the modern version of a dive sports bar. read more

A great place to eat downtown. Stopped by for lunch and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is clean and very stylish. The staff are friendly and attentive. The service throughout the meal was spot on. For the food, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The Old Bay Prawns were seasoned well and tasted fresh. The steakhouse wedge was filling with perfectly cooked sliced steak and a rich blue cheese dressing. As far as drinks go, the spritz is a refreshing way to go. No complaints here. read more

At the suggestion of my hotel staff, my wife and I went to The Victor Tavern for a light dinner. What a delightful restaurant located just a short walk from our hotel, StayPineapple. We went inside, but it was a little to loud for me and without hesitation they sat us outside. they have a very attentive and friendly staff here. They clearly work together as a team. We ordered lot of finger food and light eating. - Calamari - nice spiced calamari with a crispy breading and tender calamari. - Smoked wings - something new for me. Nice tasting wing with a good crunch and tender meat. - French dip sliders - Extremely tasty and lean meat on a delicious bun This, like other establishments our hotel staff gave us were all winners. There was a lot of electricity in the air (even outside as it filled up quickly.) Kudos to the team at The Victor Cafe. read more

Came in for a work happy hour and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It wasn't overly busy, and while friendly, service was a bit slow (didn't seem to check on the table very frequently). For happy hour the prices are reasonable. The food we had was good, polenta fried and French dip sliders the favorites. The vibe is also nice, would be a fun spot to grab drinks and snacks and lounge in their couch areas. They also appeared to have pool and shuffle board upstairs but unaware how service works up there. read more

Food and drinks were decent. My partner got the Bleu burger off of the $9 after 9pm menu and liked it. I had fries. They were both good, but not anything outstanding. I tried the NA apple cinnamon shrub and it was not great - it tasted very strongly like I was just drinking apple cider vinegar on the rocks. The bartender offered to make me something else and said it was very acidic and vinegary, but I just preferred water at that point. My partner had the Vic's Kentucky coffee and he said it was alright as well. Overall, the food was decent and the drinks were mixed results. Service - the servers were attentive and helpful and I really appreciated the offer to make me something else when she noticed I didn't seem to like it. 5/5 stars for service. Ambiance - it was a cool little spot. It seems to be in a building with an apartment complex above and several other shops and restaurants elsewhere in the building. We sat at the bar and it was a clean, classy, and modern spot across from the spheres. I'd maybe come back for a beer or happy hour but overall it was all just fine and nothing that knocked my socks off. read more

Stopped in with a group of 7 and while the service was a bit slow everyone was friendly enough. I will chalk up the slower service to being related to a Mariners playoff game and it being Sunday during their all day happy hour. Not one complaint about the food ---everything was great! read more

I had a great time here last night. The Phoenix chicken sandwhich was excellent. Very crispy and the pickles were good. It came with a big side of fries that were on the salty side. Their service was excellent and very friendly. Inside was modern. It is a bit of a strange location. It shares the space with the huge lobby of the apartment building that it sits under, but on the quiet Sunday evening that I was there it did not seem to be an issue. Happy hour goes from 3 to close on Sundays and I would recommend anyone in the area stop by here. read more

It's another overpriced Ethan Stowell restaurant. But will I go back? Yes, because of the location. I think that's how he gets most of his customers. There's nothing special about the food here. And the drinks are decent. Pricing is Ethan Stowell pricing. It's not cheap, but Victor isn't terribly expensive either. This is an interesting location because it's below an apartment building. read more

Dropped by the Victor on a soaking wet Saturday. The menu said it was brunchtime so I suggested the hash. Out came a mound of meat and potatoes. I screwed my head on straight with some coffee on the bar. I slipped in the bearnaise sauce and soaked up the rest on the way home. read more

Visiting Seattle and found this place on an evening walk. Stopped in for a cocktail and pleased with service and atmosphere.

My friend brought me here for brunch, and I thought it was cute! Not too busy when we got in on a Sunday at 10:30am. There were plenty of windows and it was nice and bright. I got the Victor Brunch, which came with a lot of stuff. Tons of potatoes, good amount of toast, and two eggs. The toast came with this raspberry or wildberry jam I think(?) which was delicious. Loved. Usually I have to season potatoes (which I'm fine with since I don't like them too salty), but Victor actually had them already seasoned AND not too salty. Minor thing, but I had asked for over medium eggs, and these were definitely over easy. Nevertheless I still enjoyed them. read more

How I heard of this place: Friends of ours had some surprise gift envelopes from a previous dining experience and invited us out for burgers at a family friendly establishment. Type of cuisine: "The Victor Tavern is a modern urban tavern from Chef Ethan Stowell and is the perfect spot for a burger and a beer after work or for cocktails and dinner with friends while out on the town. Located across 6th avenue from the Amazon Spheres, The Victor features a spacious dining room, bar, open air patio, and gaming mezzanine with televisions, pool, and shuffleboard. We look forward to seeing you soon! Offering Vegetarian Options, Burgers, Takeout, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Kid's Menu" Ambiance: Large and corporate, the perfect setting for SLU's plethora of Amazon and other tech employees. Set on the ground floor of an apartment building, the fancy amenities are immediately spotted upon entry. Tall ceilings, a dark setting, a sitting area that stretches back at least half a block, and which feeds into the lobby of the apartments above. What I ordered: Fried Castelvetrano Olives ($6) - panko breaded, served with their pits; Smoky Tavern Wings ($12) - hot sauce, carrot, celery, blue cheese dip; Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad ($12) - torn croutons, anchovy dressing, parmesan; Victory Burger ($14) - beef patty, lettuce, onion, sweet pickle, american cheese, secret sauce, served with fries; Veg Head ($14) - beyond burger, avocado, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, onion, secret sauce, aged cheddar, served with fries. Shirley Temples all around and our free dessert: S'Mores Sundae ($13) - chocolate brownie, chocolate ice cream, toasted marshmallow. What I loved: The fried olives were a surprising hit! The freshness of the Caesar dressing added a kick to the salad, and the fries were crisped and good. Why I loved it: Free dessert can't be beat! And our server had the most friendly, genuine, sweet, gentlr smile I've ever seen! Cost: Average to high read more

We were seated very quickly even without reservations. So reservations are recommended even in a Monday night. We ordered the French Dip and the Blue Burger. Both were extremely tasty. Fries were also well salted and crispy. I had a side salad instead of fries and it was really big and very creative. Loved this place. Even though it was very full we could still hear ourselves talk which is quite important in my opinion. read more

Came here with a work group of 7. Over the experience was good but nothing over the top exciting. Everyone said food was "fine" Food highlights are really in their small plates. My favorites are the olives, Brussel sprouts and the polenta fries. The table enjoyed the pretzel bites and wings. One slight miss is that someone at the table ordered a burger with a gluten free bun and a ceaser salad. When the salad came it was loaded with croutons. Waitstaff was ok but for a part of a large group they didn't come over much. read more

Victor has a trendy look and is a decent place in Seattle to grab a burger however if you're looking to get a quality cocktail or salad, I would recommend going elsewhere. My side salad was extremely bland and the cocktail left me with a bitter aftertaste.
