With its button-tufted armchairs, placid palette and artwork by Jessica Pope, this third-floor seating area at Victory North is certainly inviting — but chances are you’ll be on your feet, and maybe even dancing. The new venue at the corner of Whitaker and 43rd streets is all about experience-based programming: think cabarets, artist showcases, talent competitions, live music and festive private events like weddings and fundraisers. 

​

“Our goal is to create an atmosphere that everyone feels comfortable in,” says Anita Ard, director of sales. That means a double-height performance space with decorative ironwork railing on the mezzanine level and moody paint colors that contrast the warm, exposed-beam ceiling. A lush outdoor courtyard and quiet nooks like the one pictured here make Victory North an even more perfect place to congregate.
