I visited this establishment on a food tour a few weeks ago and wished I could have stayed longer or tried other things. I requested the lemon lime bitter beverage as part of the tour and I quite enjoyed it. Tasted like an extreme version of 7-Up. Trinity had an old school divey vibe that was interesting. If I'd had more time, I'd have stuck around to find out more. Maybe next time. read more

Shockingly good food. I don't know what I expected but not kale, pumpkin and fennel salad. I felt like it was too much fennel, but it all disappeared quickly. Lots of beer, cider and wine options and they have trivia on more than one night. Nice looking outside area but I've only been upstairs which is nice as well. read more

Trinity Bar - Wine Bars Near Me - Surry Hills, NSW

Bottom Line: Great food, great atmosphere - a Surry Hills staple. Since we moved to the area Trinity has been a go to spot for us for casual lunches and dinners. The spacious outdoor (but covered) patio in the front of the bar is probably its most appealing quality. It's the perfect people-watching vantage point - right in the thick of things on the corner of Crown and Devonshire Streets. Aside from the ideal location, the food isn't bad either - and by Surry Hills standards it's rather affordable. Plus - they have White Rabbit, my favorite Aussie beer, on tap - WIN! Some of our favorites on the menu have been the King Prawn Spaghetti ($22), the Little Creatures Beer Battered Barramundi ($20), the Cottage Pie ($17) and the Sirloin Steak (25). There are so many other delicious looking items on the menu that we've yet to try. They also often have daily specials - $10 Steaks on Mondays! read more

Sauntered in on an early Friday afternoon not sure if they'd be serving food but thankfully they were. Too sick to try the great looking beer selections but enjoyed my beef and guinness pie with side mash that had some lovely garlic and leeky goodness mixed in. Since you can never have enough potatoes, we got some chips with garlic aioli dip as well to share and they were great too. My partner had a done-up dog that looked tempting but hard to share so I didn't try it. Atmosphere was really relaxed, and I got a kick out of the old law books as space-fillers on the shelf behind the booths. Plenty of seating, even the beer-drinking tables had seats with backs which is a bonus I'd keep in mind when selecting a place to go out in future. The music was also really good, which is something else important to me if I'm going to spend an hour or more in one spot. Looking forward to coming back to sample some drinks soon. read more

Good for drinks, bad for eats. Trinity asks $22 for a fish and chips (their "Little Creatures"). The fish was much too hard for a fish and chips - it had the texture of a fried swordfish, very odd. The portions are very large and you can't take food out in a doggie bag, so you'll want to split a meal if you do get one. The beer selection was great as Sydney goes, and typical for prices - $7-8 a beer. read more

Trinity Bar holds an entirely refurbished place in my heart since returning from London, as it now reminds me of my favourite bar in Camden, the oh-so-cool fifty-five (http://fiftyfivebar.co.uk/drinks.php). Whilst Trinity Bar doesn't have the amazing cocktail list that Fifty-Five boasts, nor the amazing 2-4-1 cocktail happy hour & Sunday Sesh, the bar buzzes with a similar crowd of casual-cool 20 to 30 somethings and finding a table is an equally difficult task at Trinity as at Fifty-Five, involving much lingering and sleuth behaviour. Trinity Bar doesn't completely satisfy my nostalgic Fifty-Five pangs, but it comes close. The beer garden is fantastic for people watching (if you're lucky enough to snag a table) and as it's only a short walk from Belvoir theatre, it's a great place to go for a pre-theatre drink. read more

In a city where the posh cocktail bars are slowly infiltrating on the ever-existing sports pubs, Trinity maintains a nice little balance of both. While you'd be hard pressed to find a day where there isn't some sort of game on the several TV screens in the main bar, the patio and boutique menu sets it ahead of its competition. With nightly specials (I have a friend who WON'T MISS a Monday $10 steak night), Trinity does pub grub right. The other day I was meeting up with a few friends for the England vs. (some other team... South Africa?) world cup game and Trinity was the chosen spot. We first chose a bottle of red from their modest menu and some wedges to accompany the booze (safely first). The wedges came piping hot and perfectly seasoned with an array of dipping sauces to choose from. Later on, we shared a BLT that on normal circumstances could have fed about 5 girls our size. It was greasy and delicious and did the trick to sober us right up. Cheers to Trinity for being a good, solid hangout. read more

There is not much you can say about the Trinity bar other than it hits the mark in almost every way. Upstairs, downstairs, great outside area and generous bar area that dominates the room. Now thats how a pub should be. This establishment must have one of the best locations in town. it has pride of place on the corner of Crown street and Devonshire Streets in Surry Hills. Central station is down the road and it just seems like this is a hub that seldom quietens down. Apparently the food is excellent although I haven't tried it myself. I spend more time kicking back in the front courtyard area which is perfectly positioned to watch the world go by over a few cold ones. Great for after work drinks, great for watching sport on the big screen and great for a really good pub meal. The Trinity is no dive bar. In fact, its about as classy as you get for a bar/bistro. read more

Trinity Bar is another great pub option if the Clock and The White Horse are full, but keep in mind that they don't take evening bookings so you might have to practise patience. Alternatively, there's also Edens Room upstairs, which is open from 6pm Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Sitting on the corner of Crown and Devonshire Streets, Trinity Bar offers a decent menu and a good drinks list, and has been doing so for the past 10 years. Try to nab a seat outside and watch the Surry Hills set go by - it's fantastic people watching in these parts. The food menu mixes contemporary Australian with traditional hearty pub food. The crispy prawns with roast garlic and aioli are great to nibble on and I love the Little Creatures beer-battered barramundi with chips and salad (or mash and veg) plus tartare and lemon. read more

The Trinity Bar is a trusty pub that you'd wish to call your local. I like this place because of the hearty pub food they serve, steaks, pies, bangers n mash and burgers are some of the typical menu items that are all served in big portions. It's a good idea to come a little early on the weekend so you can grab a good seat on their deck out the front. The Trinity also has a large range of beers on draught and drink specials during the week. They have 14 local and imported beers on tap and on Fridays and Saturdays you can also grab a schooner of little creatures pale or bright ale for $5 all day. Keep an eye out for the food specials too like the $10 sirloin steaks on Mondays. Oh and if it ever gets a little too noisy or crowded for your liking just remember to go and check out the 2nd bar and seating area upstairs called the Eden room, its usually a bit quieter. read more

Trinity is a great local spot and is becoming better by the day. Before we used to just visit on occasion for the $10 Steak night on Mondays. How surprised were we when we noticed on our last visit that the beer list, menu, and decor had all been refreshed. This isn't a wow! this is so different type of change. Instead, it's a nice upgrade all around. It keep the same semi-seedy local pub charm but upgrades all of the elements. Service and food here is always top notch as well. Well done guys, and keep it up! read more

Its a firm favorite of mine, the food is awesome you really get what you pay for quality and quantity. Also a good spot to watch the sport as they have a good projector screen in one corner. read more

This year's St Patrick's day marks my 6th consecutive trip here to celebrate the most wonderful day of the year. Just like the new students at Hogwarts, I enter every time with wonderment and surprise as I make my way to the sorting tap. I always get sorted into House Guinness. If there's one thing I know intimately, it's Irish pubs. I can say confidently but perhaps not proudly, that I have been in an astonishing amount of them. This one passes with flying tricolours. Food is always top notch but worth noting there isn't a huge amount in the way of sharing or just snacking options. Like an Irish pub, you're coming here for a feed! Always a warm welcome and certainly fun being had by staff and punters alike when you swing through the doors. Plenty of screens for sport and a fantastic outdoor area completely for the non smokers to enjoy prime real estate to watch the Surry Hills cat walk in full flow. The upstairs is usually available for booking tables free of charge (I think) and is always good craic. We had an emotional going away here and a gesture by staff who'd realized what was happening and let us stay longer uninterrupted while we said our goodbyes, is one I've never forgotten and will always be grateful for. Most places would have hoofed us out the door. That's the kind of pub you're getting here. If you're missing home or want that Irish experience look no further, if it's raining outside and nearly six o clock you'd sit up waiting to hear the Angelus, that's how authentic it is. read more

After our first choice of restaurants was closed due to the Australia Day holiday, we wandered into this pub with two hungry small children in tow. Although they couldn't accommodate us on the main pub floor due to the kiddos, they let us eat upstairs. Husband happy wit happy hour draft choices - and the rest of us delighted with the gush taco with pineapple salsa, a huge offering of in unassembled falafel fare, and delicious squash ravioli. Kind, accommodating service and pub food that rises to level of foodie food. read more

If you come here with a group at lunchtime make sure you order separately otherwise you will wait a long time. Food is great here. Some of the things I recommend: Crispy squid salad Sweet potato fries with tahini sauce Chicken schnitzel but only when it's on special! read more

I love this pub. Now this is not the place for you to dress up and be seen, but rather a great place to have a beer and some pub food with some mates. Nothing beats a good Chicken Parma and a cold beer, and this place delivers on both. There is also a Chicken Parma burger - and how can you go wrong with that! Depending on the night there might be sports playing on the TVS, or Trivia upstairs. Either way, this is place has a local pub feel, and is great to being your nights on a weekend, or have a quiet one on a weeknight. However, don't expect anything glamous, this is not that kind of place. To add to it all the staff here are awesome! So it is worth a drop by if you are in the area. read more

I work in Surry Hills and of all the places to grab a lunch in Surry the Trinity never dissapoints. Consistent friendly service, even from the bar staff - shock, horror! Good food served quick with a smile and good attitude obviously by people who understand how to run a business unlike some of the other dives around here who will never see my coin again. read more

I had high hopes for this place after a mate raved about it. We went in as a group of 4 and grabbed beers and burgers. Beer was reasonably priced. Bonus points for having pints too. The food was a bit meh. Edible, but nothing to get exited about. The burgers lacked any real flavour and the chips were kind of oily and over done. Bit of a let down that the outside section closes to early too. read more

Bar has a nice vibe and really friendly staff. The food was reallh tastey and they had the beat collection pf condiments I have ever seen at a pub including jerk bbq sause and jalapeno mustard. The condiment game alone jackes it up a full star. Cool joint. Check it out. read more

This place used to do $10 steak nights on Mondays...now they're $12.50 steak nights. The same goes for their schnitty nights...prices have gone up. That just doesn't roll off your tongue as easily... Regardless the food is still pretty good, staff friendly, and plenty of drinks to offer. Great local hangout or for drinks after work. read more

Friends birthday so we arrived around 8.30pm on a saturday. Went straight the the upstairs area which a bit smaller than downstairs. We ordered the beef burger with chips. After the second bite i couldnt eat any more. It tasted funny like it was a bit off. For dessert i got the waffle which was great so it helped restore some confidence back in the food. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. read more

Trinity Bar was great. Awesome atmosphere with downstairs, upstairs and gaming lounge out back. It was still packed at 9pm when we left so not just an after work drinks spot. Mixed bunch of people both out for a drink and also people there solely for a nice meal. Was comfortable and relaxed not trending towards any particular scene. You have to seat yourself and order at the bar. We had Vege Nachos and King Salmon with a side of onion rings. Nice portion, good flavor, nachos had a bit of spicy kick. The menus has great variety and also a good scale of expensive and more cheaper bites. Service was good too. read more

Nails the good pub basics - decent range of drinks (though wish there was more cider on tap!), fun jam jar cocktails, huge servings of tasty pub food with a few more inventive offerings and perhaps the best sweet potato fries I've had in Sydney! Staff are lovely and Wednesday trivia upstairs is extremely popular - get in early for a table! read more

Wandered in here on a beautiful sunny afternoon in Surry Hill. The draw for us was their fantastic outdoor patio which is a great way to enjoy the day. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had moderate expectations of the pub, but it does have a good range of drinks and an great space to hang out. We had the crispy squid and a burger - both were quite good. read more

One of the better pubs in Surry Hills and good location on the corner of Crown and Devonshire Streets. Best place to sit is outside on the large deck though it gets full very quickly so need to get there early if your there for lunch or dinner. Favourite meal here is the massive pot of mussels in the red garlic sauce, with lots of bread - i get it every time and only $16, though i did go there last week and it wasn't on the menu anymore, so I hope it comes back soon! read more

The Trinity Hotel on the corner of Devonshire and Crown Streets in Surry Hills is a great local pub. It has a great bistro with all the pub classics and daily specials and if you have room some tidy little dessert options. The pie in the pot, the steak and the prawn linguine all got ticks of approval as did the chocolate cake on the specials board that 'had to be tasted'. There's a neat little outdoor area looking on to the street or some tables and booths on the street level area which are surrounded by a wall that can only be described as a library. If there's not a function upstairs then that's another area to have a seat or if you're running late you may find someone biding their time in the pokies room. There's a selection of beers, good wine list and a nice bistro. It's a great local! read more

This is a cool pub in surry hills. It has the old school pub feeling, but still also has class. It looks like a pub in everyway, except a bit cleaner and with those little bits of class around the place. Artistic wall designs, bookshelves as walls, containing volumes of intelligent looking encyclopedias. This place, it's easy to see, is a regular haunt for those who live in the surrounds. And I can see why you'd keep coming back, or even entertain a group of people here. There are ourdoor tables for a pleasant summer vibe, indoor stools and tables, and even a private entertaining spaxce upstairs. It's a great, simple place to plan something special, or just hang about on a casual afternoon. And it's in that old school Surry Hills, which adds to that atmosphere, with acient terrace housing all around. It's worth a look in if you live nearby. But then, if you live nearby, I expect you've already had more than a look in. read more

The burger with beets, pickle, and bacon is a local favorite I was told. With sweet potato fries it was fantastic. Great beers too. read more

Surprisingly good food, especially for the price given the neighborhood. A bit rich so may break the waistline were you to make this a regular stop but when you are up for a caloric splurge ...Had their NewYork style chicken parmigiana which came with a perfectly dressed salad and tasty fries. read more

Deep fried food. Steak tough. Burgers awful. Definitely no chef in kitchen. Inattentive and rude traveller staff who would rather chat amongst themselves than serve people waiting at the dirty, wet and sticky bar. Tables flithy. Constant 24/7 noise and dust from light rail construction ensure all get togethers in this filthy, dirty and rude slum are not worth the time. Food in Dov & Olive much much better. Experience and enjoyment of Clock Hotel supercedes all. read more

The Trinity has certainly matured in the last few years. A recent visit cemented this bar as one of my CBDs better pub haunts. The bar staff are very friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere was fun and casual, and the food was, for pub nosh, exceptional. Our table had the Plum glazed Ribs and Beef burgers, and all were absolutely delicious. They've also recently introduced "jam jar" cocktails which are divine. (Patron Iced coffee anyone?) They also have a fine selection of beers, and a cosy, covered out-door area. If you need to wet your whistle in Surrey Hills, the Trinity would be my recommendation. read more

As an American who just moved to Sydney, I've been wandering around my new neighborhood looking for a good local bar to go to regularly for craft beer, good food, and a good conversation. Do not miss the brisket nachos and tacos. They are, quite frankly, phenomenal. Between that, the good prices on craft beer, and the bartenders and manager who are always up for a good conversation this is the place for me. read more

It's easy for me to admit--the one thing that attracts me to a restaurant on a sunny day is a spacious outdoor area. With the Trinity Bar on the corner of Devonshire and Crown Streets, there is a large deck with seating fenced in from the sidewalk. I went in to see their food, and was pleased to find simple club sandwiches, salads, and pastas. I ordered a Greek salad with falafel for $15. It was only $3 to add grilled chicken, but I was in the mood for something light, so I kept my salad vegetarian. The portion was very satisfying, and all the ingredients were fresh. I also asked the waitress for a glass of Pure Blonde (for $6), which was so refreshing on a hot afternoon. You can smoke on the deck, too, which might be bothersome for some people. But hey, it's a bar after all. The atmosphere is lively, with a heterogeneous crowd from different walks of life. My waitress was also genuinely kind and attentive. One thing about this place that sucks (as do other places with the same situation) is that there is a $30 minimum for credit card purchases. WHY. read more

Great pub food for pretty decent prices. The servings are substantial too - you won't go hungry! Just wish the outdoor section was non-smoking and then you'd have a home run. Fyi children are allowed in the upstairs section accompanied by an adult so it's great for family lunch too! read more
