Trinity bar & bistro

Many a time have I walked past the corner of Devonshire and Crown Street in Surry Hills and wondered why people seemed to so enjoy sitting on the outside terrace at the Trinity in amidst all the traffic. Well, we weren't out the front but sampling the delights of this bar on a recent weekend I kind of get why they are out there.

This pub is trying to be a 'proper' old school pub. Not in the Rocks sense of having hose down walls but in that Ye Olde England sense with lots of dark wood and a wide beer selection. So far so good. We were ushered upstairs into the function room because there were rater too many of us for the tables downstairs. Upstairs has been done up, like so many Sydney pubs but I can't say I entirely disapprove. They've made sure there's an outside area, inside is not too fussy - some good long couches and tables with chair and the quirky wall prints were a nice surprise.

The food is well up near the 20$ mark but I didn't hear any complaints. Thankfully not Ye Olde Pubbe Grubbe but pretty standard mod-oz-pub. My salad with haloumi and sweet potato etc was rather delicious, filling and only 16$.

So overall, nothing exciting but quite an acceptable function venue if you want your own space and not to be shut up in some poky corner room.
