Want Cheap Strong Drinks after eating Chinese Buffet? Look no further! SITREP This place apparently has a history of different names, including the X-O Lounge and Trio Club. It dovetails nicely into a «Trifecta» of fun, hence why the name Trio works so nicely for me: * Grab the Chinese Buffet at Lunch * Pop over for a strong, inexpensive alcohol beverage(or two) at Trio * Then hit the matinée @ Tower Theatre right next door. SETUP Let’s be honest: this place is a seedy dive, but it’s GOOD at being a seedy dive! Depending on the day, the clientele is an extremely diverse crowd of peeps, that includes academics, state workers and ex-convicts. Interestingly enough, the women who come here are all quite elegant and personable. This is definitely a place to engage in some great conversations! THELOWDOWN Whether spending 5 minutes or 5 hours here, you’ll have a good time.
