“ A perfect little gem in Victor. We got the poppers to eat, and they were amazing. The staff was really amazing to chat with, and the beer was ice cold. If you go through this town stop at the 1899. ”
“ Made the trip over from Cripple Creek where we stayed. The food is worth making a 30 minute drive. Best bar & grill food I’ve had. The burger topped with green chilli is amazing!! The poppers are the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!!! Great food and ice cold beer!!! ”
“ Visited for my birthday after seeing Rita the Troll. The restaurant owner and staff were very nice and accommodating to our party of nine (five adults, four children). They had one high chair, but that wasn't a problem for our group. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with fries and asked for a side of ranch and bbq sauce. The food came out relatively fast! It was hot and delicious. We're not in Victor often, but would go again if in the area! ”
“ Update: returned recently and spent a long weekend in Victor. Enjoyed the atmosphere and conversation with the locals, staff and international artists visiting. I adjusted my rating to five stars. This place is consistent, the food and drinks are great and priced right. I'll definitely visit every trip! :) had a blast! Historic saloon located next to the Victor Hotel. Had a wonderful time on the patio taking in the views of Battle Mountain. Had the best bar burger I’ve maybe ever had. It was real beef and not a preformed frozen patty. The staff was mindful of my dietary needs and got my order correct. It’s a friendly place where the locals hang out. Nice small town neighborhood bar. ”
“ We were just driving around the Colorado mountains looking for anything to eat when we found this place. We were unsure since this was one of the only two options. We walked in and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. The server constantly checked to ensure we had everything, and drinks never ran out. The ambience was nice, like your typical sports bar, and very laid back. The locals were very nice as well. We ordered delicious burgers. Very cute little town! ”
“ Came up to stay with family went to cripple creek to eat No one could seat us for 2-3 hours We stayed In victor but wanted nice dining We were asked to come in but still went to cripple creek with hopes of dinner we went to every restaurant just to get denied We remembered the sweet lady asking us if we were hungry in victor! We returned to victor at closing time She greeted us with a smile and the cook fired up the grill and cooked up some of the best burgers on this side of the Mississippi! Posting a photo of my burger!! ”
