Small Victory

At the top of a short flight of stairs in a parking garage downtown, Small Victory is a fairly small cocktail bar with a large selection of spirits, an extensive cocktail menu, and a great list of wines and sherries available by the glass. You can definitely pop in here with a small group, but the majority of the tables are two-seaters, both on the same side, so it’s definitely more of a date night destination. You can make reservations ahead of time, or just walk up to the little red gate on East 7th and give the bar a buzz—we’ve had pretty good luck walking in relatively early in the night.
