Victory Grill, Historical music venue in East 11th Street, Austin, United States.
The Victory Grill occupies a rectangular brick building with a stage area and dining space at 1104 East 11th Street in Austin.
Johnny Holmes established the Victory Grill on Victory over Japan Day in 1945 as a restaurant and bar for African American soldiers returning from World War II.
The venue operated as part of the Chitlin Circuit, hosting performances by B.B. King, James Brown, Etta James, Chuck Berry, and other influential African American musicians.
The National Register of Historic Places designation from 1998 protects the building's architectural elements and ensures its preservation for future generations.
The structure remains among the few surviving original Chitlin Circuit establishments where African American musicians performed during the period of legal segregation.
