Victory burst onto the scene in 2011 as a scrappy little sandwich spot with excellent sliders, an instant-hit ping-pong table, and a wicked sense of humor. Then there was the slushie machine.
50 BEST BARS IN ATLANTA
I’d gladly pay $10 for the Beeter (beet “pastrami,” white kimchi, and Thai pepper mayo) and probably more for the Han Cholo (chorizo, Cotija cheese, tomatillo salsa) at this ATL favorite. But at $4 apiece (chips included), this has to be the greatest meal deal in America.
10 SANDWICHES YOU MUST EAT NOW
This “trendy yet affordable” sandwich shop “sets itself apart” with “awesome, unique sliders” and “dangerous, delicious” Jack-and-Coke slushies, served from lunch until 2 AM; a “great patio, music and games” help make it an “epic place.”
HIP HUB FOR COCKTAILS & LIGHT GRUB
When too many of your weeknights have already included a glass of cheap wine on a bar stool, head to Victory Sandwich Bar. Play ping pong over a few whiskey Coke slushies, or if it’s super crowded, get a Vicnic Basket, which includes a blanket, sodas, sides, and a few sandwiches for under $30, and head to the BeltLine instead.
THE INFATUATION
My most recent coup de foudre is the idiosyncratic Victory Sandwich Bar in Inman Park, home of the itsy-bitsy $4 gourmet sandwich—along with inexpensive slushies made of Jack Daniel’s and Coke, cult movies, loud music, and Ping-Pong games for relieving frustration.
NICHE DISHES
Victory Sandwich Bar has great sandwiches and snacks, but a must-try is their Jack-and-Coke slushie.
TRAVEL CHANNEL “THE LAYOVER”
“Victory serves sandwiches until 2 a.m.,” Steven says. “I usually order the Castro, with slow-roasted pork, ham, Fontina cheese, and yellow mustard, and a Tecate with a lime. And they have Ping-Pong tables. If you get a good volley going, it actually feels like exercise.” - Steven Satterfield
