Little Victory Wine Bar in Carlsbad Village opened in April 2025 at 505 Oak Avenue, bringing an all-natural wine program and seasonal small-plate kitchen to a 50-seat space split between an intimate interior and a dogs-welcome patio. The wine list, curated by co-owner Jeremy Simpson — whose résumé runs through Campfire and the kitchens that earned Jeune et Jolie its Michelin recognition — highlights small-producer, minimal-intervention bottles from across the globe, a craft-beverage discipline shared by the single-origin roasters at Steady State Roasting. Chefs Elliott and Kelly Townsend lead the kitchen with a New Nordic–meets–Southern California philosophy, sourcing hyper-local produce for a menu that changes daily based on what arrives from area farms. The Townsends' previous work at Long Story Short, Juniper & Ivy, and Cowboy Star informs dishes that fuse Scandinavian preservation techniques with California's coastal bounty — a culinary range as varied as the Burmese-sushi crossover at Cherry Blossom Burmese Cafe & Sushi. House-cured fish and beef tartare anchor a rotating charcuterie program built on whole-animal sourcing, with each preparation tailored to complement the wine list's current allocation of skin-contact whites and low-sulfite reds.
