Inspired by a Rick Steve’s episode, we found ourselves at The Victoria, a place steeped in legend. Rumor has it Queen Victoria herself once stopped in for a pint, and they named the place in her honor. Talk about a royal endorsement!
We arrived on a late Thursday evening and were pleasantly surprised by the lively atmosphere at 10PM. As newcomers to English culture, we were initially stumped by the lack of table service. But a quick trip to the bar sorted us out, and soon we were sipping on an ESB, a Tiny Rebel, and a hot chocolate.
The interior was a delight, exactly the kind of ambiance we were hoping for. If only we’d noticed the sign explaining the ordering process sooner. Live and learn!
And what does Moses, my trusty plastic sidekick, think? He gives The Victoria his seal of approval. So, follow in the footsteps of royalty and enjoy a pint at The Victoria!
