Came here to wait on a reservation for brunch. Loved the vibe, the staff was super nice and friendly. Who doesn't love a bar opened at 10am?!
I am a nurse and honor graduate student at UVA obtaining my masters and still, I was publicly lynched here. I was accompanied by a friend and his buddy who was an off duty bartender. The place has multiple levels, but none of them are for people of color. After exchanging what I assumed was playful banter with a group of Caucasian women behind me I had two bouncers come to me and ask me to leave for “grabbing two white girls’ ass”.Although the accusation was preposterous, there was no hope for resolution beyond me leaving for scaring the pretty white women sitting behind me. I was completely sober and cooperative, yet the manager would not come to speak with me. Extremely humiliating and sad for a business in 2022, but probably par for the course in good old Charlottesville.Being a Chicago native, I had a chat with the two young black bouncers that were sent to remove me and reminded them who we were, where we’re from and where we’re welcomed. I can’t help but feel that if this was 70yrs ago I would be floating in the Tallahatchie river beside Emmit Till. Black men stay far away and instead enjoy a night out at The Biltmore or Rapture where you’re welcomed.You have to be OUT OF YOUR MIND to believe that I made it this far in nursing or survived 30yrs in this country grabbing on young white women. This place is a culmination of the entitlement and dirty little secret of racist, bigoted Charlottesville. Lesson learned.
They had a guy playing bagpipes! So fun!!
Where do I even begin? From the staff, to the selection of delicious beers and beverages, and the amazing food specials, Trinity hits on all of the 3 S’s of service. The manager, Austin, is everything you could ask for in the hospitality industry and the staff are all lovely folks. Definitely check out the burrito and wings and keep an eye out for some great pitcher specials. Don’t forget to come in on game days and support the Hoos! You CANNOT go wrong with Trin. Best spot in Charlottesville no doubt about it.
This place is the absolute best. Staff is always friendly and attentive. They are constantly adding new items to the menu and never disappoint. If you are in the area, there is no better spot for a bite or drink at any time of the day!
Luke is an amazing food runner who is quick, polite, and attentive. I will return frequently for service of this caliber!
Austin Turner is a celtic blessing to this Irish pub. Bravo! 10/10.
