Victory Beer Hall - Xfinity Live

Sports bar within the sports complex in Philadelphia. Around 20 taps, mostly Victory beers with a few others, nothing too exciting, but generally nice, with standard pub food. If you're waiting for a game, worth spending some time in.

Nice little stop on the way to a Phillies game or whatever is in season as it’s located right in between the baseball and footballs stadiums and basketball/hockey arena. Pretty basic with Victory beers and bar food. Attentive service but definitely don’t come here for the food.

Fun spot during a quite Saturday though I bet it’s a madhouse during any time of sporting event. Set up like a German beer hall, long picnic tables in a big room with high ceilings and plenty of space. Nice ambiance. A few different seating locations so they can accommdate quite a few people. Good selection of - you guessed it - Victory offerings. Maybe 15 or so taps from Victory? A few other locals but you come here for the Victory. Food was standard bar/drunk food. Not very good but it gets a 6 for the creative brisket burger - two patties, brisket, onions...yeah, that was good! Service was excellent. I’d go back.

Visited for the first time on June 18, 2013, before the Phillies game in the late afternoon. NOTE: The Xfinity Live does close at 2 AM, but Victory was close before the end of the night game. Large and nicel, a little isolated from the main space, but not douchebag free. A good Victory tap line up and some so so invited taps. Service was ok, not really fast and one sever told me that the Hop Devil tat was an DIPA, I check it was Ranch (Centennial). It’s a ok place, but would only go back if I’m going there for a ball game!

Visited here before an evening Phillies game in May ’12. Around 12 out of the 16 Victory beers listed were available. I had Helios and Summer Love amongst others. We bagged a table around 90 minutes before the start of the game and we were pretty lucky to do so. Place was full and standing thereafter. Atmosphere OK - no loud annoying twats but I imagine that may not always be the case. Service held up well to be fair. Overall - large and impersonal but If you want some good beer by the Lincoln Financial Field you’ll probably do no better than here!

Some of the worst service i have ever seen. They eventually gave us four free beers and our food.

I stopped in for a couple pre-Phillies game beers. Was surprised that they had more than just their most popular styles on- I had a couple Helios, but they also had the Baltic Porter, Golden Monkey, etc. Since it was packed with the pre-game crowd they served all beers in clear plastic party cups. Not awesome but understandable. Service wasn’t terrible but was slowish and no one knew a lick about the beers. Short shorts on the ladies and tight, "look at my bulging muscles" shirts on the dudes. Had a few games outside- beer pong, jenga, ping pong- I thought that was kind of neat. Overall, a good place to get a couple good beers a bit cheaper than inside any of the stadiums but not a destination.

It’s certainly not a destination place but if you’re waiting for the game to start its a pretty solid beer ball that could comfortably accommodate a large band and a few hundred people. That it’s located in this complex of 8-10 other bar and restaurant places is really cool. Didn’t see the bottle list but they had 12-15 on draft mostly Victory. It gets busy quickly do don’t expect exemplary service. The prices are normal for Philly but a bargain compared to the ballparks across the street.

Cool beer hall setup! I like that there was a good bit of natural lighting. Had more options for victory beer than i expected...i was thinking that there would just be the usual suspects (hopdevil, prima, monkey and the like) but helios, baltic thunder, and a few others could be had. Also some other locals bottles i think. We only stayed for a few beers as it was etremely crowded. Service was a bit slow and more about looking good than the beer...they didnt know much at all about beer. Prices were a bit high but not bad considering the stadium prices for crappy beer.
