Trophy Room opening night
The Trophy Room had a soft opening on Thursday but as word spread the crowds came. When I first arrived at 7:00 pm nearly half the bar was gay but by the time I left close to 9:00 pm (see photo above) it had noticeably tilted to a predominantly gay clientele.
Tonight The Trophy Room will roll out their full menu which includes small shared plates, soups, salads, burgers and flat breads ranging from $7 – $14. The menu has a few main plates that range $16 – $19 and include honey-bourbon steak tips, roasted chicken, cod and shrimp fra diavalo all prepared under the watchful eye of chef Evan Campbell.
The redesigned space seems larger than before thanks to raising the ceilings, a large mirror over the bar to make the space seem wider, and relocating the entrance further up Chandler Street. While I didn’t try anything to eat and can’t comment on the menu, the bar staff is handsome, friendly and fast; that combined with a familiar location and a nice redesign bodes well for the The Trophy Room.

My partner and I ordered a few items last night. The kitchen was overwhelmed so our server informed us that our meals would be a while. It took 30 minutes for our food to arrive, which I thought was pretty quick for their first service. The chef actually came over to deliver our food and apologized for the delay. When our bill arrived we were told our food was comped and they apologized for the delay again. Their customer service will definitely get me back through the door, and the food was good as well (we had the cauliflower wings, gumbo and Berkshire salad).
