Great place if you are looking for rare cheese and a fantastic selection of both wine and craft beer. Â Trio did not disappoint.
Very friendly service at every turn and a pub inside the space. Â Probably able to seat 10 or so with a larger area in front of the bar.
We had a Black Cannon on cask (thanks for the surprise Vince) that may have not been that fresh (poor rotation?) or just not a great beer from Heavy Seas. Â Still nice to hold a pint while perusing the beer aisles/coolers or sampling as much cheese as you need to. Â
Also have snacks, merchandise, and cool gadgets for the home or bar.
Beer was very well priced. Â One bottle in particular was over $5 less for a 22oz. bottle than one place in Duck. That is a big plus to me. No price gouging.
A must visit when you are in the area and want to impress someone with a fine selection of wine or cheese, whether it be local or imported.
I am SO glad a friend took us here, otherwise I would never have realized it was a bar.  It  looks like a wine shop from the outside, but who knew after hours it was a beer/wine bar?  I thought it might be a bit pretentious, but we felt totally comfortable in jeans and tanks here, but you could also feel comfortable dressed up...that kind of place.  They have a huge beer and wine selection, and will let you try anything before you buy without being annoyed to do it (some places are like that).  It got a little cramped downstairs so we moved upstairs for some more room for our group.  It honestly just feels like home there....not loud, but just loud enough to not be boring.  I wish there were more places like this in VB where I live.
Review Source:I recently held the rehearsal dinner for my wedding at Trio since my wife and I are huge beer/wine/cheese fans. Â I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Â John and Jennifer (the owners) were terrific in helping us choose the perfect arrangements for our guests and created an amazing atmosphere in the upstairs party area. Â Our guests could not stop commenting on how delicious the food was and how wonderful the drink selections were. The local live music also provided a perfect soundtrack to our evening.
I have had the opportunity to visit Trio a few times and I must say it has become a regular stop for me when in the OBX.
