Met up with friends here for drinks on a Saturday night. The place wasn't crowded, the service was very friendly, and there was a small booth in the back that accommodated my group. Would definitely recommend for a casual drink. read more

Great local spot. How often do the owners welcome you & introduce themselves. Very friendly crowd.

I would like to thank this pub for existing. I recently moved to the UES and Trinity is a breath of fresh air from the sports bars and plastic faces that otherwise coat the neighborhood. Friendly staff, decent prices, great music. read more

This is one of the most mellow, decent, fun bars you can find in NYC. Me and a friend found this place while cruising bars on the UES. I have intermittently been coming here for 7-8 years, back when I was always coming back to NYC for work. I got to know a bunch of people who would go to this place, and it felt like we could pick up right where we left off. Often end up in the place until 4. Those were the days. Hope to get back there soon one day!!! read more

I live in the neighborhood for over 10 years and always wondered why this "just the pub" is always packed when all the other restaurants and bars are quiet. I do not like noisy places so I kind of hesitated to go in there although I was curious why people love this pub so much. But I finally did go when the place was not too busy. Now I keep going back there! As other reviews say a bartender is so professional. (I only know one guy working inside of the bar.) He is so nice, talks politely but friendlily to the customers, asks for another drink in a perfect timing, and brings another round without asking what we are drinking. He just remembers customers' drinks no matter how busy the place is. It seems like a normal thing as a bartender, but it is actually very hard to get this level of service at the bars or even at the very expensive lounges. I normally do not spend time writing good reviews but I wanted to write one for this special place :) read more

A really small neighborhood bar. The bartenders are real Irish and super friendly and funny. On Monday nights there is Trivia with $4 margaritas. Again..it's really tiny. It's not like a destination place but it is really great if you live around the area. You will see a lot of people doing residency. On weekends it's a lot more crowded but still a lot of suits wearers. The place is so small and personal that I can see why there are regulars. read more

Somehow, my best friend and I ended up dropping 75 bucks here on a Friday night and had no idea how much we drank. Trinity is her favorite place, and considering that she's coming from Washington Heights and I'm coming from Bay Ridge, it's a trek for both of us. That being said, it's a worthy trip for the camaraderie you get from the patrons and the bartenders. The latter are from Ireland directly, which makes ordering a Guinness feel authentic. The people that frequent the bar are lovely, and are willing to strike up conversations with strangers- something that I love to do. Their buy-back policy is fabulous, too, even if we were a little drunk to know that we were getting the drinks poured for us without ordering them. read more

Trinity Pub is A-OK, as the three stars is supposed to indicate (would've liked to give 3.5). Service was excellent and the bartenders were super friendly. The drinks were a bit pricey ($8 for a Guinness and $11 for a car bomb). I wish they had a better beer selection. I wouldn't make a special trip to go there, but if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd certainly go back. Very unpretentious and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Went here with some friends on a Saturday night. Fun, chill atmosphere and not too packed! A good place to grab some drinks and hang out for a while. Very local feel. The bartenders were very nice and attentive and the Guinness tasted like true Guinness! Overall a very good experience and would definitely come back! read more

Went here for a catch-up drink with an old friend last night. Nice patio seats to enjoy the spring weather! Except for the fight that nearly broke out between a group of friends, this place pours a fantastic Guinness! That, in my books, deserves 5 stars. read more

Nice little neighborhood spot with friendly barkeeps. There are some barstools, a few high tops along the wall, and one small nook with a table. They don't have food but they're more than happy to let you order in. read more

An excellent place to stop off for a quick pint. Gavin epitomizes what a New York bartender should be - friendly, engaging and quick to start conversation between regulars and newbies. They pour a good pint of Guinness. The layout is dim and classy - good oak paneling and old-timey lights. read more

trinity is still the bomb. came for some cocktails after dinner last night - wound up two shots and three martinis later playing Boxxi (new favorite game) for an hour and listening to some awesome tunes on the juke box. this is such a great neighborhood spot --- the bartenders are beyond friendly, it's unassuming and the crowd is usually pretty diverse, despite the upper east side location. read more

Great neighborhood pub... quaint, cozy and irish without the sports bar theme or focus (thank god!). You wouldn't think much of it from the outside but stop in for a drink - it's a small space but surprisingly quite charming. read more

I was trying to hit a few bars I hadn't visited on the UES, and came into Trinity on a Monday night. It is a very small bar (similar in size to Biddy's Irish Pub, but lacking the same ambiance), with about 10 barstools and some areas to stand. The tap selection was pretty standard (Guiness, Harp, Bass, and few American beers) and a little pricey. Overall I didn't really care for the ambiance, but its not a bad place to grab a drink close to home. read more

I never expect much from the nightlife on the UES, but this small, local bar provided a fun, chill Saturday night. The bartenders take good care of you and want to learn your name and it is music on demand, so bring your quarters! Not that I would expect you to, but just in case - Don't go out of your way to get to this place, but if you are nearby or live in the neighborhood, its a good little find. read more

The best Irish pub uptown for real people. Very friendly staff and you feel like part of a family at this establishment. Genuine and friendly. read more

Good for brunch and watching the football from home.(Ireland) A great Irish breakfast. read more

This is my favorite bar in the whole city. They have delirium tremens on TAP! And I believe it's $7 during happy hour. The bartender Barry is amazing and from Ireland and loves to chat. This place is super small, super dark, and so lovely. read more

My friends and I keep coming back here for Desmond!! He is the best Bar tender around. Always keeping the whole place entertained and makes great drinks!!! read more

Trinity is a tiny bar that can easily be overlooked. It's fun; they play Irish music and the beer is pretty reasonable. It's a good place to go with a few friends read more

I have found my new favorite local pub. I was in here on a Tuesday, and it was just the way I like my pubs. Full enough but not packed, there were still two seats open at the bar. Greeted with a big hello from the friendly and charming bartender and made friends the second I sat down. A nice mix of older local men just drinking their drinks and a late 20 / early 30 something crowd. It's the perfect place (at least during the week) to just go and have a quiet drink with friendly folks. I'll definitely be back and most likely quite often. read more

Barry Jr. (The hot young irish bartender) said he'd come to our job and get smoothies. He's basically the love of my life. And when he reads this, I won't even care because the Jameson tastes like actual Jameson and the prices during happy hour are maaaaad cheap read more

You might catch me here playing some Oingo Boingo and drinking Delirium

I still fantasize about this place. We were trying to go to guggenheim night time event and made the right decision to not wait in the 2 hour line. We stumbled upon this low key bar and they just so happenned to have my favorite beer of all time- magic hat number 9. My friends had a brilliant idea of bombing firefly sweet tea vodka shots into this beer. Pretty sweet but still worth a try! read more

Standout bar in the UES. Atmosphere is always great and the Guiness is very good. Say no more.

Oh Trinity... it holds a special place in my heart as it was the first bar I went into/made friends at when I first moved here, nearly 10 years ago. Out of all of the bartenders trinity has had over the years, they all have a certain "thing" about them and if they ever leave trinity you find yourself following them. It truly is a wonderful little place on the upper east side. read more

This bar changed my NY experience! Johnny is by far the best bartender I've ever met, I've been around bars all my life but this was definitely my best experience thanks to him. Y'all are gonna see my face round here again soon read more

Trinity Pub is a great place to start the night, end the night and all that in between! The bartenders are personable and know how to pour a drink. It is also a great place to "people-watch" if you like that type stuff. I have met plenty of odd characters here but they were all friendly! And you can't beat a place that has "Africa" by Toto on the Jukebox!! read more

Very friendly bartenders, it's a place to go and get drunk. Lol I love it, it's so simple but great for dancing and drinks are cheap. Lol

Bartenders Peter and Barry make this place. After passing the bar for years, I tried it last Summer and since have become a regular. Good pours, friendly atmosphere, very friendly neighborhood crowd. And they know how to properly serve a Guinness! Recommend! read more

Always a good time at Trinity. Bartenders here are the utmost friendliest bartenders on the UES. Casual environment, regulars and well made drinks....whadya got to loose?? Saturday night can get a little crowded, but that is a given....duh. read more

Peter, the bartender shook our hand as we entered and made us feel like regulars. Knows how to pour a Guinness the right way and just a super friendly pub that has made us want to come back again and again every time we are in NYC. read more

literally across the street from my daughters apartment so she likes it there it just was too loud and no seating when we went in

Great pub with very friendly staff. Visited many times during my stay in NYC.

As soon as I walked in the door, I knew it wasn't a good bar. Music was way too over powering for this tiny bar. I went up to get my third drink as I was finishing my second because the bud light had zero carbonation in it and was ID'd for a second time. After I told the manager/owner about his poor tasting bud light,he threw me out. $6 for a flat bud light is not worth it in this immature bar. Afterwards, My 10 friends and I went to jack russels and had a great time. Happy New Year. read more

This is a great little pub in a sea of UES college frat bars. The place is very small, with limited seating and very few amenities. The reason I am giving this place such a great review is that unlike every other bar on the UES that my friends drag me to, I have actually had a great time at Trinity and met some interesting people. I recall that the bar staff was extremely friendly and cool. Our bartender that night was an Irish guy whose name I can't remember. But I do remember that he was alot of fun and contributed to everyone at the bar having a great time. There is a small juke box in the rear of the bar that usually spits out 80's and other rock selections. You will not feel like you are in a meathead frat party when entering Trinity, and that is a good thing. Definitely a chill spot to hang with friends. read more

Great bartenders. The patrons are usually really nice also.

Very nice service. Much better service than other bars on the block!! Their manhattans are on point.

The bartenders are super friendly and the atmosphere is great. Get yourself a pint of Guiness here at once!
