This restaurant never disappoints. Everything about it is just right. The food, the service, the vibe. I had noted in the rez that we were celebrating an engagement and we were welcomed with sparkling wine when we sat down. So lovely!

About the restaurant

Welcome to Tria, Philly's original casual wine bar since 2004.

Our two Center City wine bars have helped elevate Philly’s wine scene while keeping it fun. Tria’s seasonally curated wine, cheese and beer menus showcase super-cool smaller producers who are driven by passion. The friendly Tria team will help you discover new flavor sensations if that’s your jawn. If you prefer, we’ll bring you more wine and leave you alone. It’s all good.

We love wine and it shows, but Tria above all is a community where guests come to relax and connect. There are no TVs or other distractions. The “concept” is for our guests to engage in conversation made livelier, deeper and cheerier by the wine. Cheers!

Excellent first-time experience at Funck’s for lunch. Hosts and staff were spot on attentive. Very nice indoors and outdoors; I love the outdoor pods! We ate inside near the bar which is warmly decorated and clean. Good beer selection; good tasting spare and ales. Guinness is served with a decorative printing on top! The hot pretzel and crab regionals were delicious. Three of us had burgers, all cooked exactly as requested (2 medium, 1 medium rare) and tasty. Tacos were excellent, too. Highly recommended!
