Trinity Hall   

In keeping with the decidedly European feel of Mockingbird Station, Trinity Hall is about as authentic as an Irish pub can get short of actually being on Irish soil. In fact, most of the delightful handcrafted furnishings and decorations made the trip across the Atlantic from Ireland, so the sense of authenticity is justified. The setting is easygoing and gorgeous, and the stunning, traditional yellow wallpaper is as impressive as the 32-foot bar. The Irish experience doesn't stop with the tables, chairs or decor, however. Here you can order Irish stew, fish and chips, lamb, soda bread, corned beef and cabbage and other traditional Irish cuisine. The menu also offers sandwiches, chicken, burgers, pork and steaks. Ale, sweet, dark and heavy-bodied, is abundantly available by the bottle or draft, as you would expect. And an Irish pub wouldn't be complete without a wide selection of strong whiskey, vodka, gin and wine. Live music, appropriate for a pub, fills the air on most nights. Trinity Hall sits atop a set of stairs next door to the Angelika Theatre in the heart of the Mockingbird Station development. -- Gary Taylor
