I try to give places a fair, balanced look and The Trestle Inn definitely delivered in some areas…read more I stopped in before a show nearby and loved the modern, stylish vibe right away. The cocktail menu is creative without being pretentious. During happy hour, the bartender was knowledgeable, personable, and clearly confident in his craft. He made two excellent cocktails, well-balanced, thoughtfully prepared, and worth every dollar. Service was attentive and engaging, which set a great tone for the night. We came back after a show when there was live music and a $10 cover. I didn't mind the cover and actually expected the energy (and service) to match it. Unfortunately, the second bartender wasn't nearly as attentive. I stood at the bar while 2-3 guests around me were served without acknowledgment. It took away from what had been a strong first impression. We had one drink and decided to head out. Overall, I'd absolutely recommend The Trestle Inn for happy hour cocktails, that experience alone earns four stars Just hoping for more consistency behind the bar next time.

After coming in, we found out that only the bottom level was open, which is a hookah lounge, not a club. After 5-10 minutes we asked an employee how to get to the other rooms and he told us the 2nd floor was booked for a private event, so we couldn't go. A manager told us they're playing "'Mexican Music" and that if we wanted to go to the second floor we'd have to pay another admission price in addition to the $20 we'd already paid each. Plus no reentry. Not sure why they have people paying full price for only the hookah lounge to be available, but I just know I will never be coming here again.

Service was pretty thorough across the board. Security at the door was nice and took their jobs seriously--they pat you down and check your stuff so don't do nothing stupid lol. All around a nice spot, can get crowded as the night goes on so I'd definitely recommend getting a section.

They keep it G-H-E-T-T-O! It's like a warehouse in the middle of nowhere, literally. Free before…read more11, then $10 for ladies, $15 for dudes I think. $2 mandatory coat check. All of the employees are extremely rude and yell and curse at you for not knowing all of their ridiculous rules (e.g., "No sitting on the tables!"). The one bartender was sweet, but the everyone else that worked there was very ghetto and pissed off. One side for under 21, the other for over. The over 21 area is like a little lounge-style thing. They serve basic drinks and beers (bottled poured in cups) and some food. They have their own DJ, but it still feels like some cheap couches in a warehouse. No dance floor on this side unfortunately, which really could have changed our experience. We had a couple of reasonably priced drinks ($5 for beer, $8 for Absolut cranby's) and then were forced to mingle with the youngins. The other side had what my homegirl called "Hoodrat Row", basically a stage with a bunch of Hoodrats getting stretched out to shake it like a hooker (homie: "It's like 'When Animals Attack' up in there"). It was dirty, big dance floor with bars on either side serving soda and water for the kiddies. The DJ was pretty good and was getting the crowd hyped, but the clientele were just wack. It was like a horrible high school dance, with dudes and girls literally dry humping in every position you could imagine. Real low class stuff, i'm not even kidding, straight up dry humping. Some girls lifting their skirts to show their panties. I'm just surprised nobody actually started having sex (that I saw). There were some bright spots. The DJ played some decent jams, but didn't really know how to mix that well. He played what everyone wanted to hear tho fosho. There were some dance battles that would break out that were alright, but usually got real stupid real quick. There were only about 2-3 remotely skilled b-boys there, so then dudes would just start getting ridiculous. Then, the fights broke out...Multiple, big brawls, one after another. Security scattering and for some reason arguing. I saw one dude throw at least three punches and somehow he stayed til they closed. Completely disorganized. Security fighting patrons, patrons fighting patrons, and it looked like security fighting security. Apparently they threw them out and they were fighting outside so nobody wanted to leave for a while. They basically cut the music for like 20 mins turned on all the lights, and kicked out 75% of the crowd. When it came back on, it was wack, but the homies wanted to stay cuz they had the dance floor to themselves. Afterwards, they kicked us out and told us we had to stand outside. We tried to get a cab for literally 30 minutes standing outside under this tiny awning in the freezing rain, but none would stop. We called two different companies 3 different times and they told us they were coming, but none came. Our friend went up the street to another, less ghetto corner and got two cabs to stop, but they said they wouldn't take us (everyone else was black, so I guess that's why). All of the employees knew what was going on and were going in and out of the place, but didn't offer for us to wait inside and actually told us we couldn't. They told us they wouldn't call any other companies and that we had to figure it out. They sat there in their cars looking at us and laughing like some douchebags while they could have offered us a ride to our hotel. We ended up just walking, so forget this place. Leave that to the little kiddies tryin to play gangsta.

Everyone we interacted with was absolutely wonderful and pleasant, ranging from the team members to our fellow patrons. I had a gin and Sprite to drink and I ordered the burger for some grub. The drink was standard but on the strong side. I enjoyed the burger very much and found the fries to be hot and crispy, just as a good shoestring fry should be. Of course, we enjoyed the live music that swirled around the bar that evening. The band was great and upbeat. I would definitely return!

I've been to TIME multiple times over the last month alone and have always loved the food, music,…read moreatmosphere, and service, which is exactly why I chose to bring friends visiting from out of town here on a Friday night. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst experience I've had. We had a 7 PM reservation and arrived at 7:15 PM. I acknowledge that we were late and apologized to the host. However, we arrived within the stated grace period. When we checked in, the hostess explained that because we arrived later within the grace period, our 90-minute seating window would still end based on the original reservation time. We acknowledged that and had absolutely no issue with it. What made the experience uncomfortable was how aggressively we were reminded about the time throughout the entire meal. We were reminded at least 5-6 separate times how much time we had left. Comments like "just so you know you have 25 minutes left" and "our next party is coming in 5-10 minutes" made it feel like staff was actively trying to rush us out before our reservation time had even ended. Mind you, we already understood the policy. One reminder would have been enough. Instead, it completely changed the energy of the evening and made us feel unwelcome and pressured to leave. We had originally planned to stay through our reservation and then move to the bar for the live music afterward, but after being repeatedly rushed, we decided to leave entirely and spend the rest of the night elsewhere. The most disappointing part was the interaction with the manager, Eric. Rather than listening or showing any understanding, he immediately became defensive and aggressive. He repeatedly insisted we were "15-20 minutes late," which was simply not true -- we arrived during the stated grace period. The issue was never the policy itself. It was the way we were treated throughout the night. It's unfortunate because this has genuinely been one of my favorite spots in Philly, and I've recommended it to multiple people. But this experience left a really bad impression, especially when bringing guests from out of town.
