Editorial Review for Trash – by Kara Zuaro

The Scene
The bordello-red walls are decked out with NASCAR posters, Tom Jones album covers, Schlitz plates and religious icons depicted on paper fans. Metallica blasts through the stereo speakers. Mohawked and tattooed locals sink into surprisingly cozy bench and bucket seats lifted from junkyard cars. The effect is kitschy, hip and somehow familiar--the decor and good-times vibe is very T.G.I. Friday's, even though bartenders don't serve food (nor do they wear weird hats or wacky buttons).

The Draw
Behind the main area, a fully enclosed back room with a second bar offers a stage for local and touring rock bands. It's mostly standing room, but a few more car seats are placed around the perimeter. The room isn't too big and the bands are really loud--just how the crowd likes them. For a few quieter rounds of pool, grab a pint and stay up front.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Pints of Yuengling are always $4 and happy hour offers two-for-one brews and well drinks.

Look Good

Just as you'd feel out of place slumming it in ripped jeans at a ritzy midtown happy hour, you'd feel silly in your suit here. To avoid funny looks, dress down before you stop by.

Save Money

Ask for a free bowl of tater tots and you shall receive--as long as you've placed a drink order.

User Reviews for Trash

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

The description sounded interesting so I thought I'd check out the place. The bartender was a tool, and the music was horrible. I felt like I was at some dirty bar that the Chainsaw Massacre family owns. They serve free french fries every hour which made me stay for one more drink. I watched the fries drop onto the bar and underneath the deep fryer, only to be pushed into a bowl by the bartender using a dirty rag, and finally placed in front of customers to snack on. That's when I left. Drinks were also weak and pricey. Avoid at all costs.

Pros: Free french fries.

Cons: Dirty french fries.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Trash is great for the weeknights. Cool people and cool bartenders. Be on the lookout for LIVE BAND KARAOKE coming in November.
