The Victory, Marylebone

I have been visiting the victory for about 2 months,since Joe the new manager has taken over the place has changed dramatically, this pub was once a male dominated grubby boozer with a pool table and didn't offer any food other than nuts and crisps.
Joe removed the pool table and juke box and spent a lot of hours redecorating and the transformation is fantastic.
The atmosphere is great (candle lit in the evenings)there is now an extensive menu which offers your standard pub food ( fish& chips,bangers and mash etc) with a great selection of sandwiches at reasonable prices.They still show football and sport but some how it still remains cool and you feel that you are a guest in the staffs home. Many evenings after work i have wound down with the help of the cocktail happy hour 5.30pmto 8pm (i think) and have always been engaged by Joe and his Staff in a very friendly way.
I can now also go there on the pull as the office girls and the american student girlz that now come here are very,very pretty!
Seriously this place is a great new local for me,i dont feel like a sad old git if i come here on my own, i am made to feel welcome and i think Joe will dominate this old skool pub area when word gets around, but hey dont listen to me try it yourself!!!
