Historic Victory Grill is Austin, Texas’ oldest standing blues club.  Established in 1945, the Victory Cafe was originally an icehouse that hosted local blues musicians out on the porch while selling beer to local patrons in the hot Austin summer.  Later, in 1949, It was decided to expand the icehouse and build a bar & grill that provided a space for  soldiers returning from the war to enjoy good food and good entertainment , appropriately calling it the Victory Grill. Victory Grill is a popular space for touring musicians to play gigs. It is also a great place to record live music.
