Plano’s sports bar scene has a new player: Victory Tap Sports Lounge<\/a> has debuted in time for World Cup soccer-watching, at 5973 W. Parker Rd. in West Plano Village.<\/p>\n

The restaurant and lounge comes from Lombardi Family Concepts, the company behind Dallas-Fort Worth restaurants like Bistro 31, Toulouse Cafe & Bar, Taverna, and Lombardi Cucina Italiana. According to a release, Victory Tap is designed to serve as a neighborhood destination for game-day gatherings, happy hours, brunches, and casual dinners.<\/p>\n

Victory Tap occupies a 7,600-square-foot space with seating for 250. In addition to food and drink, it offers guests a chance to get in the game with a professional-grade Formula 1 racing simulator, outdoor bocce court, cornhole, foosball, shuffleboard, and tournament events.<\/p>\n

And of course, there are many TV’s for sports-watching – 32 to be exact – and two video walls.<\/p>\n

Just as important as the TV offerings are the food offerings.<\/p>\n
