    So you want an old-fashioned, a waffle, fries, and a chocolate fondant at midnight? Trix can give you all of that and more and better than anyone else in the area. Neighborhood gem.

    #love this place. I want the bar in my apt and the mirror in my room (many say that it should be above my bed). So please come to this bar and they will treat you well 💖💖💖💖

    As nice as the waiters were, the medium to well done steak I ordered came out mostly rare. Service is a little slow. The bathroom was the only exciting thing about my brunch time there.

    Good food, but beware, they do not serve ketchup here, no joke. Had a great server here (Shea) who made our meal by being kind and attentive, unlike the typical ones you'll find in this neighborhood.

    Stumbled in to kill time and will go out of my way to come back. Get the Amelia--vodka, St Germain, blackberry, fresh mint. Smells like fall in here.

    TRIX’s prime Williamsburg locale is perfect for people-watching—and ideal for taking a break between stops at the area’s hip boutiques.

    Best cocktails. Better than most manhattan speakeasy's. The bartenders are awesome! I recommend sitting at the bar!

    New favorite bar in Williamsburg. Not too crowded, bartenders are awesome, bathroom is ridiculous. Done and done.

    Go on slow nights and you are likely to a get a plate that will blow you away.. Ask for a side of bread (chef makes nice toastpoints) to soak up the reductions..

    Be sure to enter the Stargate in the bathroom. You never know where it might take you, but you might find Kurt Russell.

    I will never come here again. The service is awful and it takes a whole hour to get your food.
