Editorial Review for Tria – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Housed in a former ice cream shop one block north of Rittenhouse Square, this beer and tapas bar is popular with a professional crowd. The atmosphere is warm thanks to a plethora of candles, which illuminate a shelf above the long banquette. The menu focuses on beer, imported cheeses and tapas-style salads and sandwiches. There also are wines available by the glass, including a Spanish rose, Austria's Gruener Veltliner and Nero d'Avola from Sicily.

A decent selection of wines although lacking compared to the more extensive lists available in the city. The lack of a proper wine preservation system keeps them secondary to the likes of Vintage and Panorama which feature cruvinet systems. If you are just getting started with wines it’s a nice place to go to be “seen” but is not serious about its wine selection for the more experienced Oenophiles. Prepare to be jostled quite a bit by unruly guests and surly employees
Pros: close
Cons: sour wine

We went there Sunday night with some friends. The hostess was friendly, situated us at the bar until a table opened up and seated us promptly. The food and wine were terrific, especially the salads. The service was just terrible though. The waitress was overly pretentious, slow, intrusive and probably one of the worst I have ever experienced. We did receive our food as ordered, so there is one plus for her. She just seemed very awkward and made us all very uncomfortable. And we are friendly easy going people! I have been told they hire based on wine knowledge-well, she did not offer nor share any of this with us and she did not seem to have any experience as a wait person. Maybe they should look for skilled waiters first and hire a wine steward to chat up the wine selection. Just a thought.
Pros: Wine selection and food
Cons: Noisy, service
