Bar Victor

"Bar Victor, the chic drinking den that shuttered in Montrose last year, will officially reopen its doors in time for Memorial Day weekend. The bar announced its return under new management in a Facebook post on Tuesday, noting that it will sling its first cocktails in more than a year starting on Friday, May 22. “Bar Victor is under new management and we cannot wait to meet you,” the post reads. “We have some added some cool touches to the space, and best of all, we have a divine new cocktail menu.” Bar Victor closed in April of last year after opening in January 2018. When it closed, the bar’s owners said that they would “set their sights on new goals,” and continue to operate La Villa, the French restaurant not too far away on Montrose Boulevard. La Villa has since closed. Like all other bars opening on May 22, which is the earliest that bars can open under Governor Greg Abbott’s Open Texas plan, Bar Victor will enforce a 25 percent capacity limit indoors. The bar’s patio will be “available for all, as long as social distance is respected,” according to the post. When it debuts on Friday, Bar Victor will be open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m." - Amy McCarthy

"Victor, a chic, French-inspired lounge, has officially opened its doors in Montrose. The spot serves up classic cocktails, pricey bottles of bubbly, and bar snacks like charcuterie and fish conservas. Larger 'sharing boards' offer caviar, smoked salmon, foie gras pate, and more for a crowd." - Amy McCarthy

"Victor is a French-themed, music-focused bar and lounge set to open this spring in the former Zimm’s space. The venue will feature a DJ booth constructed out of Louis Vuitton luggage, Baroque-inspired furnishings, and a redone terrace while preserving the original Zimm’s bar top. DJs will perform six nights a week, and the bar will offer classic and creative cocktails along with light bites and snacks." - Adele Chapin
