| - I went to Trinity Common last night with some friends, and if you're looking for a variety of craft beers, it's worth it to check out. If you're looking for anything else... there are a lot more places you can go.
The decor is great--very simple and minimal, I loved it. The atmosphere and patrons are, well, interesting is the best way I can phrase it. My first thought when I walked in was "gentrification," with all of the beards/man buns/hipster glasses, it was kind of funny--but that's not the bar's fault, just a little anecdote I had to throw in (and that didn't affect my rating at all, but if you like beards then go here).
Food wise, it's good, but the very limited menu is really over priced for how much food you get. I had the mac 'n cheese, and although it was good, it doesn't mention having meat in it on the menu, but there was some sort of ham/back bacon/something in my food, and even though I eat meat it was a little bit unnerving to see random reddish brown chunks that don't have very much flavor in my food. But for $12, I expected WAY more, and considering the food on its own was just a 3/5, it wasn't worth it.
The biggest problem is the small space and a lot staff who come off a bit apathetic. Don't get me wrong, our server, the bartender, and the bouncer/security guard were all incredibly nice, but I got the vibe that they really didn't want to be there. It was also incredibly annoying that we were told it would only be a five minute wait, and thirty five minutes later we had to REMIND a staff member that we wanted a table, and not to just sit at the bar, as we were waiting for two more people to meet us and there was not enough room for them to join us at the bar. In the end, a five minute wait turned into a forty minute one, but at least we were able to order drinks. A huge downside was how LOUD the music was. I was literally two feet away from one of my friends and could not hear a word he said. Both of the bartenders working had to lean over and ask people to repeat their orders two or more times, it can't be good for their hearing, and it's annoying as a customer to have to repeat yourself several times. They have a mostly full bar, but the huge focus is on beer, so there are a lot of kinds of alcohols they don't have (unless they use it in one of their cocktails).
The bartender who got our drinks was also very nice, when I couldn't decide between two she let me taste both (I went with Mort Subite because I wanted something super fruity that wasn't cider, and this tasted like tangy Fruitopia, in a good way) and she checked in on us frequently.
Overall it was very average, I would go back if it was a good friend's birthday or everyone I was with really wanted to go, but probably wouldn't wander over on my own.
