This place if filled with amateurs and people I’d describe as ‘hardo’s’. Went here for about an hour before I met up with some people at a different place. For some reason someone thought that $ 5 to get in would be worth the price of admission. I’d rather get the gallon of gas for $ 5 and burn this place down. The bar itself looks like you just walked in to meet someone from GQ and drink Martini’s, but it’s really just full of Lax-bro’s slugging High Life’s. I noticed there was an upstairs, but I didn’t even bother trying. I drank my beer and left.

I had an additional charge on my debit card(outside of my tab) that i know i did not do for $ 67 bucks from trinity about a month ago. When i called and told them about it, the owner personally called me back said he would look into it. He did look into it got back to me and said he doesn’t understand how it could have happened(still a mystery). He looked further into it and still couldn’t figure it out but refunded my charge anyway. Not what I expected, but very my appreciated.

Trinity is probably one of the biggest hell(keeping it PG rated) holes I have visited in Boston. This place is pure crap and it doesn’t even make an attempt at being a dive bar. For a quick lesson in identifying a 1-star bar, here are five telltale signs. 1) You walk in and the entire place smells like vomit(literally) 2) You look around and realize you are in what might possibly be the finest collection of white trash massholes in the entire city 3) Your feet are sticking to the floor and your foot actually comes of its shoe at one point 4) As you continue to look around you realize there is a good possibility that everyone is pregnant and has AIDS 5) They actually made you pay a $ 5 cover to experience all of the above I have no clue how I was convinced by my friends to come to this place. Better yet, I want to know which of my friends decided this might be a good idea for a Saturday night. Once I found out I think I will be short one friend. NEVER again!!!

Went here for a night of bar hopping on a Saturday. Another typical Fanueil hall-area bar, but this one has lots of space with their 3-levels and all. The scene is mainly rowdy younger early 20s, but if you like crowds and dancing, definitely check this place out.

I like to come here with my friends for a good laugh. The great thing about this place is that there is no cover and the drinks are cheap compared to other places in Boston. However, the clientele is the type you’d see at a «no cover» bar/club in Boston! The downstairs is nice, but always very quiet. They have dart boards but I’ve never seen anyone use them. The upstairs is where you’ll get your laughs. One side is a bar and the other side is the«dance floor». The dance floor is ridiculously small and the DJ plays Top 40/hip hop. Lots of «rookies» meaning college students who just turned 21 and can’t handle their alcohol. I saw one guy falling asleep standing up against the wall. He actually got dragged out by bouncers by the end of the night. A couple was hardcore making out on top of a floor speaker. Girls stumbling around grinding up on strangers. Lots of creepers standing around the perimeter of the dance floor just staring at the girls. Ick. The bathrooms are from a horror movie — do not go in there unless you want to risk getting syphilis.

I recently popped into Trinity for the first time 2 weeks ago with some of the guys who made the trip up to Boston to visit a friend. The place wasn’t like all the hype made it to seem. It’s pretty small, and the dance area section was way smaller than I had envisioned it to be. There was a $ 10 cover but we did not have to wait in line; walked up and hopped right in. From what I remember the prices were a little high. There was not a great amount of attractive girls there, but again the hype was that there would be. Also, some drunken idiot was dancing with no shirt on and attempted to fight a cop, nice… If I go up to Boston the next time and we don’t go to Trinity, I wouldn’t be heart broken.

Sucked. The dance floor was tiny. The DJ had no music that I asked him to play and was really weird looking. The bar tenders were also barely paying attention to anything that was going on. There were also some boso the clowns dancing around swinging their shirts like their hair * and the bouncers just stood there trying to contain them instead of grabbing them by the throats and tossing them. Never again. * I whip my hair back and forth.

I was shocked just now to see that this place has a 1.5 star average… I mean I guess I got here early and didn’t have to pay a cover, and I guess there were definitely a few questionable people here including someone who clearly was escorting her mom around who was one of those mom’s who you think invented wearing the fanny pack and probably still wears one on a daily basis… BUT there is a decent amount of space here and the fact that if you get here early enough you avoid the cover for an upstairs dance floor and a pretty good DJ(he at least kept playing songs that made all of us want to shake our booties a little bit ha), for the Fanueil Hall area, I think this place is okay. Plus we got to play free darts!!! I guess they take away darts starting at 11pm, but since we sucked so much and it took us forever to get through our games, they were nice enough to wait forever for us to finish ha ha And the drinks were fine by me too – I saw other reviews here that said the drinks were bad, but they were just fine by my standards, and not as pricey as I expected them to be either. They even gave me real blueberries in my blueberry beer, and that is something I always appreciate!

My friends and I got here at around 10:30 on Saturday night. Pro is that there is no cover until 11PM(which I found out after I walked out then back in after 11). Post-11PM there’s a $ 5 cover which is still cheaper than most places in the general vicinity. It was EMPTY when we first got there. The upstairs was still closed and there were maybe 10 or 12 other people at the bar. There’s a dart board at the back so kudos to the availability of extra curricular activities while drinking. When they finally opened the upstairs, it started to get more packed. The entire night, the place didn’t get crammed to capacity which I preferred so I’m not sharing breathing room with 5 other people. The best thing about Trinity was the music. The DJ was awesome. He played sick music all night long which, if I wasn’t exhausted that night, would have elicited serious, SERIOUS dance battles from my end. Clientele-wise…I was a little sketched out. Actually… I was a lot sketched out. Your mixture of weird fratty guys, guidos, and just flat out weird guys. Girl-wise, it seemed fine. There were a few who didn’t get the memo that it wasn’t the type of bar you wear a skin-tight red dress and 5 inch heels to(I felt over-dressed in a blazer and 4 inch heels… so you can only imagine) so who knows what category they fall into. I know the bar itself can’t help it but yeah… it definitely swayed my opinion a lot. If you asked me, I doubt I’d come back here voluntarily but I may be swayed if only for the DJ.

What a bloody waste of time/money and useless excuses of a bar/club. The drinks are terrible, the cover charge is a joke and the dance floor is non existent. the music sucks and theres never really anyone attractive let alone can stand up. Prob best to stay away

I walked in, was not charged a cover, and was served a cold $ 3 High Life promptly and with a smile. There’s your 3 stars right there.

This place is so shady. If you care to have a dance-off with ridiculously young looking guido boys that have no clue what is going on, then this is your place. I feel like i smelled of jäger bombs and spray tan when I left. YIKES

Its OK, nothing special. The three floor thing is kind of cool, but that’s about it. Floor one… its like a frat party minus the jungle juice, imagine a sweaty basement if you will playing every ones favorite… top 40. Floor two… old people bar. Darts and people standing around, I find this floor lame. Floor three… music plus space to stand around. Its like a mixture of the other two floors minus the profuse sweating and darts. If you stay somewhere this is the floor to stay on. All in all its OK nothing special.

3 floors of drunken madness. The neat thing about this place is that there’s a different vibe on each floor. Top floor may have some crap DJ spinning techno and people acting like idiots. Middle floor has darts and some ok bartenders. Bottom floor has another dance floor and the top 40 garbage playing. Story time: One time me and my boyz ran into this guy we knew from high school who was a real jerk back in the day. When he wasn’t looking, I grabbed the waitresses butt standing behind him and she turned and thought it was HIM and had him thown out by security. True story. Ah… memories.

Place is a dive, but if you are looking for cheap booze and loose hoes; this is a great place. Dance floor stinks but crowd is OK. If you want to skeeze it up, have a fun time and don’t care about the shape of your martini glass or only drink foreign beer, this is a great place.

The one time I went here I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. If thats your kind of place hit it up but bring the following items guys: popped collar fake tan freshly waxed eyebrows a shirt with some sort of graphic dragon a blackberry so that you can pretend you have friends the ability to use Bro and Chief interchangeably girls: mace. Enjoy. I hope this place closes or evaporates into thin air on a saturday night at its most packed moment.

Basically a block away from quincy/Faniuel Didn’t go to the Comedy Club, and I guess where was a private party upstairs… Main level was EMPTY, maybe 8 other people in there. Two dollar Bud/Bud light drafts(skanked lines), 6 dollar shots of Soco(wtf?) This place stank worse than a chum bucket in a drying machine. But… I guess its an okay place to pregame

Not sure what everyones problem is here. I’ve been to this place on a couple different occasions. Was $ 7 dollars cover on the weekend which wasn’t bad considering they have 3 floors and quick service. The bartenders were very fast and kept the line moving. I was off the floor getting a drink and back to the floor within minutes. It might also help that randomly everytime I’ve been here a cute girl has hit on me. ‘Trashy’ is such a blurry term to use in describing a group of people at bars in boston. I don’t mind when girls look attractive, especially when they’re out on the town supposed to be having fun. I don’t know if most people on here would rather everyone wearing masks and shapeless robes or something. Anyway not bad prices for drinks. Right around the corner from other great places. And the dancing on the top floor was pretty fun. the floor is small enough up there that you can start the party without feeling awkward, and big enough to allow everyone to eventually join in with you. Always had a good time with friends here.

The complaints about this bar are by ignorant college kids. The bar has 3 floors. The top floor and the basement are for dancing in dark areas, which can lead to trouble. But, hey just dance and have fun. The drinks are strong and the bartenders are fast. The middle floor has darts when it’s not too busy on the weekends and you can relax to sporting events on nice HD TVs. Nothing mind blowing but a good bar atmosphere with good employees. The staff is serious about rowdy drinkers and will rightfully throw them out.(Young people fight because they are immature, obviously, and hate this place because they were kicked out… Also in my complaint about the other idiotic reviewers, I don’t think they knew there are more floors.) So behave and have fun.
