Trinity is a small hidden bar found in the back streets of Canberra's China town, in the suburb of Dickson. Most Travellers would never find it as they never stay long enough to truely discover the city.
Trinity serves a seasonal cocktail list, excellent local wines and a selction of local and international beers, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, DJs play most nights, no cover, and is great on chilly nights when it's a full house. Perfect place to have an injection of city life (without the wank) after a day in the wilderness.
