About Victory (Cocktail Menu)
The narrow room is painted red from end to end. Low booths are hidden in the back. Up front, a glowing fish tank catches the eye. Victory is the kind of place you expect to find in an ultramodern hotel or the Las Vegas Strip, not amid the button-down buildings of the CBD. Daniel Victory opened the bar after making his name as a mixologist at the Ritz-Carlton hotel. The cocktail menu includes drinks that are classic, creative and even somewhat outrageous, such as a “Truffletini” with truffle oil or a Beetin’ the Lime with rum, lime and beet reduction.

Victory Review By Rupa D. : West Long Branch, NJ
Stopping by Victory early on a Saturday night was definitely one of the highlights of my recent trip to New Orleans. It being around 6pm on a sweltering Saturday in June, the place was quite empty, which was just fine with me - having the undivided attention of a talented mixologist like Ian can never be a bad thing. Was fascinating to hear about the national mixology scene from someone so enthusiastic about it. I ordered a Honeysuckle cocktail, which was much more intense and richly flavored than the light, floral drink I expected based on the name. (I take myself entirely too seriously to order fruity beverages but honeysuckle? How could I resist.) The combination of honey liqueur and cinnamon gave it a distinctly Indian, chai sort of flavor. Really good. Having won me over with the Honeysuckle, I let him pick my next drink - he opted for a flaming strawberry chartreuse combination that was as delicious as it was fun to watch him make.
And oh right, the food. Truffle popcorn & bacon wrapped scallops - both right on target.
I'd been making my way through a number of New Orleans bars that were mentioned in Esquire's 100 Best Bars in America - Napoleon House, Tujague's, the Spotted Cat, Chart Room, etc. - but I'm so glad I stopped by other, newer bars like Victory and Bar Uncommon too. While Sazeracs, Pimm's Cups and Gin Fizzes are all delightful, it was much more exciting to see what new cocktail inventions the city's many talented mixologists are coming up with.
