    Lunch menu and weekly specials

    Great spot to people watch and enjoy a pitcher of bold rock and some apps. Good college spot and good daytime family spot.

    Trin's food is solidly average. They have a great $3 burger deal every Thursday, and decent prices and specials on other items. More than anything, Trin is a college bar. It's a fun place to hang out on the weekends, but their drinks are relatively expensive compared to other places on the Corner. In a place like Charlottesville with a ton of fantastic restaurant options, Trin doesn't quite measure up.

    Trinity sponsoring Darden Oktoberfest

    Trinity is your typical crowded, sweaty night bar for UVA undergrads and grad students. Cheap beer, big pours, and elbow to elbow kind of vibes. While that's not my jam, it may be yours! I will say, Trinity has been very gracious in hosting many Darden events such as Darden Oktoberfest and is very flexible in closing the bar for big group parties/reservations. I think they're deserving of a solid 3.5, so hopefully this review pushes them closer there.

    Because I walk by this place everyday and hadn't ever eaten there, my friend and I decided to stop by for lunch on a Friday afternoon for their happy hour. They have a great patio outside on the corner that's great on a nice warm day. I ordered the veggie burger and a Blue Moon. It was just okay-I'm fairly certain it was the same No Bull patty that Bodo's serves on their bagels. On a bun with cheese and lettuce it was really nothing special (and I think it tastes better on a bagel), especially for $11. I did like that they offer a salad as a healthy alternative to fries on the side. That was okay too, but nothing special. Trinity is most well known at UVA for being a bar, and I think it does that job the best. Lots of dancing and drinks. As for the food, it's nothing special and probably not a place I'd go to eat again.

    Food was good but a tad pricey. Slow service and loud atmosphere. Appears to be a popular spot but very college town bar esq.

    I feel like the food that was served was ordered an hour ago and hanging out waiting for me to order it. How do you serve cold fries?

The reason for 4 stars is the food while good and unique missed the mark a bit. The fried elements seemed to either indicate the oil was a bit old or they overcooked a few of our items. The fried greenbeans while really good overall and a unique preparation. Had a subtle burnt flavor and same with the Catfish Poboy. The PoBoy was uniquely prepared too with green tomatoes that really worked well. But the condiment was thin, and the tomatoes could have been a bit thicker cut. So flavor was good, but could have been better. The fries that came with the sandwiches were good though. So TLDR, the breading on the catfish, and the fried green beans, was thick and looked slightly over cooked and tasted a tad burnt but at the same time the food itself seemed cooked properly. Not horrible and overall was very good. Just not 5 star. But much better than standard bar food fare. Standout though was the dessert (Hot Brownie with ice cream) it was absolutely amazing. I'll be back and hopefully can give them a 5 star later.

The restaurant was empty of customers and only a couple of guys at the bar. The waitress came to our table and took our drink order along with out food order. The drinks didn't arrive for about twenty minutes. After the delivery of the drinks, the waitress didn't return to our table to take a second or subsequent drink orders. Finally, the drinks arrived and we waited for the food. There are a lot of local craft beers on the list, along with a wide selection of whiskies. Would have been fun to try some, but we never really had service at out table. This bar is Irish themed and Irish folk music is played on the sound system, loudly. Not bad, but you do h a very to speak up during conversations. The food arrived and was ,"just okay". I had the fried chicken sandwich, my friends had the burger. My wife had the grilled chicken sandwich. All meals came with fries. The service needs to step up their game. It was not busy at all and the wait staff were more interesting in socializing with each other than tending to the customers. Also, the food was delivered warm, it probably had been sitting under a light for some time. This place has great potential, but changes in service staffs priorities need to happen. Not impressed with this place, but if you decide to give them a try, I hope your experiences are better than ours.

My husband is a die-had Arsenal fan and was overjoyed by the chaotic bar scene he encountered as soon as he entered. The City + Arsenal game had the entire bar packed with fans from both sides pulling up random seats wherever there was a free space. We came a bit late into the game but found a seat in a quieter area of the restaurant that still had good television access. With the dreary rain outside, it felt like we had settled right in a proper British pub! Food wise: - For my husband: Wings were generous, grilled, and delicious with interesting flavors - For me: Fish and chips were light, flakey, and came with some of the best house cut fries I've ever had. - For the kiddos: Although they had a kids menu, my daughters decided to split some pancakes (basically crepes with raspberries and cream sauce, scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Portions are more than generous and the managers were bustling around, talking shop, and thanking everyone who walked through their door. We will definitely be back!

One of our orders came with chips instead of fries, as stated on the menu, which was odd. Ahi tuna was fresh out of the fridge and overpriced for 5 tiny pieces with the most artificial wasabi (horseradish) they could find. Service was a bit slow with the waitress spilling food and a knife on my partner. Ambiance is interesting, though, it's a bit strange to have American football on in a supposedly European pub. Needless to say, will not be returning; I can make a better plate at home.
