I gave them 1 star so I could post this review, they actually deserve no stars. Went in for lunch and they were out of waffle fries. Made the mistake of getting the salad which was literally rotten. I ordered a bacon burger for my main entree. Once I got my burger, it was missing bacon, they said they were out. Don't know why they didn't tell me that when I ordered it. I asked to talk to the owner or manager & was refused. The waitress was very rude and acted like we were an inconvenience to her. Will never go back.

Great food, great service, and most importantly great beers! The pulled pork sandwich with slaw (you have to ask for the slaw) was fabulous and our bar tender Laura was great. Glad to see 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust on tap!!

This is The best bar in the greater Fort Wayne area for a beer lover. Over 40 taps of all kinds of crazy stuff!! The staff is awesome and the bar manager is a hoot! Try their apple pie shot. It is AMAZING!

Not a fan. They do have a big selection of beer. That's about it. Staff is not the least bit knowledgable about the beer. The owner won't allow a sample before you purchase a $12 beer. I've never been to a bar, outside of an airport, that doesn't let you sample. It's just good business. Make the customers feel welcome by saying hello before carding and let a paying customer try one of your over priced beers before paying top dollar. This place would not survive in a larger city. Bush league.

World class beer selection from around the world. Even as a craft beer enthusiast this place as turned me on to all sorts of new stuff. Prices are high compared to the local joints next door but you only need 1-2 beers when they are 10% abv. The atmosphere is cozy and feels upscale. The food is decent, but overshadowed by the great beer selection. They do tasting parties to showcase new brews. My favorite Fort Wayne area beer joint.

If you're a beer nut, you must get over here. The owner keeps 45 taps active with strange and wild stuff from all over. The local 3 Floyds and Bell's selections are well represented. The selection appears to rotate fairly often as well. Very reasonable pricing overall and especially for a growler fill. The food selection is good bar fare, the 'Pig Sandwich' is a huge pile of pulled pork and the burgers are good as well, especially the Cajun Burger. Wait staff is friendly and the bar is a really cool original. New Haven still allows smoking in bars so use that info as you will. They do have a smoke-free family room. This place is fast becoming a favorite of mine and hasn't disappointed yet.

Don't get me wrong, the beer selection is great but the prices are CRAZY for a pint. Average of $6 and it only goes up from there. I don't consider myself cheap but this is a bit too expensive for me. I was also very disappointed by a small 12oz pour for a 5.5% ABV beer. You should always be informed if the beer is not going to be a pint. The food was good for bar food but unfortunately we won't be back in a long time due to the higher cost than we've experienced anywhere else in Fort Wayne. Still can't beat the beer selection, tho.

Still one of the best places in town for food and by far the best for craft beer. Originally from Fort Wayne, was in town with my husband visiting family and we HAD to come to the Trion. The owner has done some beautiful things with the inside remodeling! Great service from our server. She had multiple food recommendations! I had the sausage roll, which was HUGE and delicious, my husband ordered the Hangover Burger and was NOT disappointment. We split a beer flight and had a couple of their newer pumpkin ales. All in all it was a great time and we will be back!

Been here twice now and I had two very different experiences. The first was I had awesome good and terrible service. The second I had just ok food and great service. Both times I sat at the bar, so it's 50/50 as far as your dinning experience will go there. Food is ok, but this place is definitely more expensive then your everyday pub/tavern. Great beer selection from what I saw, but neither time did I try one, maybe this is a better place e to drink then eat.

pros Great beer with so many choices cons pricey beer prices a 10 oz with the thick bottom glasses around $6 and above flights $15 for 5 4 oz glasses that price is nuts we had the 9.99 nachos very overpriced for a app and the quality was not good four of the beers that were on both the menu and website which is supposedly updated daily were out and those were the beers that made my hour trip worth it so take note to call ahead if your looking for a certain rare beer service was mostly good but only one waitress at noon lunch so we had some waits but man so handled herself well overall I doubt i'll be back With those prices glad i tried it

I'm sad that I have to retract some stars here. Last couple of times we've been by for lunch we've had slow service, the waitress was unhelpful, and the food was not as good. Although, I will say the burgers and fries are still good, but kind of expensive when I could get the same thing for cheaper at Hall's just another few minutes away. I will probably be back at some point if for no other reason than the location (I can walk there) and the patio is enjoyable.

I have eaten here once a year for about 5 years now. This last trip was definitely the best experience that I have had there. The service (Frank) was great, didn't rush us, helped us with selecting our meals. " you'll eat this" still get a chuckle from that. Had what I would call a calzone. It was flavorful and filling. The appetizer we chose was hummus and veggies. The hummus was hotish, meaning we could eat it without waiting for it to cool. Great experience looking forward to my next meal there. Oh, the beer is great too. Lots of choices.

Best beer selection in the area by far. 58 taps. Usually have numerous Three Floyds beers, as well as many other well thought out, worthwhile, often rare, selections. Very nice Bourbon choices as well. Food is decent bar food. Good burgers made from fresh meat from local Kens Meat Market. So why only 3 stars ? For whatever reason the owner refuses to put the serving size and prices on the beer menu. So you might get a beer that everyone else in town serves in a pint, Zombie Dust for example, in a 12 oz glass for a dollar more than everyone else sells a pint for. Not cool. In their defense they do have some decent beer "sales" sometimes, like any 10 oz pour for $3.50, a good deal for some, not all, selections. But that is beside the point. Bottom line, let the customer make the choice. There are some rare beers that I will pay $12- $14 dollars a 10 oz pour for, but the guessing game/asking the server bit gets old. 2008-2009 I was at the Trion at least once a week, now maybe once every couple of months. And I only live a 1/2 mile away. Too bad, really.

Yeah - it's not looking good. Ignored for 15 minutes after we sat down. Had to beg for menus and napkins. They sent our appetizer to the wrong table. 55 minutes later and still no food.

I was in Fort Wayne for an AGS Conference and after our tour this is where we decided on for dinner. Very nice place that I imagine gets much more crowded, we were there fairly early. Okay, I know nothing about Bourbon, they have like 100 different kinds. There is a giant black board and a beer menu. I enjoy a nice beer. I had a Chimay (it's on tap!) for$12 and boy was it good! The only real problem is my friends had other ones and I always think OH I WANT THAT! It would be impolite to drink everyone's beer I suppose. I really wanted the pig, which is a BBQ pork sandwich. I like BBQ Pork! But they were out, it does say right on the menu it is the most popular. So I wept and ordered a Frisco Burger with big salty tears bedewing my cheeks like rain. The Frisco has bacon,American and Swiss Cheese and thousand Island Dressing! It was just incredible. Now you get it with chips and fries are like $1.29 extra and why I went with chips I will never know. I mean I ordered a $12 Belgian Ale? What was I thinking. There were chips and chips are chips. The burger was really good. Very juicy and cheesy. I am going to speak blasphemy now. Sometimes a burger doesn't need bacon. This burger was excellent! The bacon does not detract, but it really didn't add anything. It was nice bacon! But it was not really needed. Excellent cole slaw, why it came out 15 minutes before the burger surprised me. I mean I ate it right away because i was hunger. But it could have come out with the burger. We had two appetizers (there were 5 of us) and the wings are very excellent and I do like fried pickles, I think I have only noticed them on menus i Indiana! Yeah, if I were closer I would spend a lot of time here.
