Trinity Pub is out of Rehab!

After 4 long weeks of renovation, Trinity Pub is back and better than ever...

Trinity Pub Comes Out of Rehab!
Trinity is open for business tonight, Wednesday, July 30
And if you stop in this weekend, your first drink is on the house.

Owners Gene Lennon & Billy Ferguson decided to close down to completely renovate the space.
It took 4 weeks, and they are back up and running with a new bar, new floor, walls & ceiling, new furniture, new bathrooms, etc.
But they kept the good stuff the same: Same owners, same location, same staff, same ambiance. And the 3 old guys are still on the wall!





Check out the new and improved Trinity Pub.
