A candlelit brick courtyard down a Victoria back alley, doing wood-oven Italian for 35 years and not sorry about it.

After Dark
Twenty-nine craft taps, a late kitchen with a following and a historic brick courtyard open till midnight every night in Victoria.
Market Square, Pandora Ave
More infoThe Drake Eatery sits in the brick courtyard of historic Market Square in Victoria, the kind of bar where nobody has a bad time because nothing tries too hard. Twenty-nine taps of west-coast craft beer, a kitchen with a genuine following for its kimchi grilled cheese, and order-at-the-bar ease. Open until midnight seven nights, so pull two stools together and let the tap list decide.
Pull two stools together in the Market Square courtyard and let the 29-tap list do the deciding, order at the bar, no fuss. The kitchen actually cooks, so split the banh mi or the kimchi grilled cheese while you compare notes on the night. It runs till midnight every night, later than most of Victoria, so settle in for a relaxed 90 minutes whether this is the main event or the easy drift-to after something else.
