"Victory Bar, the Orwellian-themed cocktail lounge and beer bar, is serving its last hopped gin and tonic and cheesy spätzle tonight when it closes its doors for good after service. Opened in late 2006 as one of the first cocktail bars on the east side, Victory earned a quiet but dedicated following for its bottle and draught list, fun, affordable drinks, and a comfort food menu that included a variety of spätzle dishes and a solid venison burger. It even earned Willamette Week’s Bar of the Year award in 2013 for its balanced, creative approach to a neighborhood bar." - Alex Frane
