by Reinaldo Frizell on I love this place! It's probably my favorite place to go to at the Castro because the bartenders are super nice (Nick the bartender especially). With the opening of Toad Hall, The "new" Cafe, and Trigger, I'm glad that Castro is finally moving away from the divey feel of most bars at the Castro to a more Glam nightclub look. I know that local neighborhood gays want to keep the intimate feel of bars but as someone who doesn't live in the Castro, I love that places like this open up. Now, all I'm waiting for is a bar/club in the Castro with a huge dancefloor (No, the Cafe and Badlands don't count....they're dancefloors are tiny). Let's bring the Glam and the fabulousness that the Castro has been ignoring lately! Trigger is a step in the right direction.
by Doug Pecarina on My dinner at STK is definitely not what the typical diner would experience. I was with a group and we had a private room. A huge private room. I told my husband later that I guess it was about the size of a typical 1-bedroom apartment in NYC. There were 2 couches, a fireplace, a very pretty chandelier, 2 long dining tables. We enjoyed very generously poured cocktails before dinner and a seafood platter. Everyone complained that the shrimp were too large and didn't have good texture. I didn't partake in shrimp, but my oyster and tuna were delish. We had a set menu; I selected the Tuna Tartare appetizer, Filet Mignon entree and S'mores dessert. The Tuna Tartare was excellent. It was a very generous portion, and came with a pickled pineapple relish, crispy fried shallots, some sort of spicy sauce and perfectly salted plantain chips. Yum! I wanted more when I was done. The filet was very typical, nothing special. There was 1 random osyter mushroom off to the side on the plate, and the roasted (I think) shallot was under-roasted. The potato puree was great, very creamy and rich. The S'more dessert was good, just not quite what I expected. I expected 2 graham crackers around marshmallow and chocolate. Instead, I received a HUGE brownie with some sort of peanut butter-caramel sauce and marshmallow on top, and a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side with graham cracker crumbs underneath. While not a classic s'more, it was tasty, just way too big for an individual serving.
by Coco D. on I wanted to call it the SmellRio, or the HellRio. But mostly it just rules. It is pretty much the best bar ever. It's right up there with killing sluts. It has a KICKASS patio. And it would appear it has a rockin jukebox. But Killing Sluts has an advantage, because they have pinball, and dirty match games. And a slightly better jukebox. And they are closer. But if I ever stop killing sluts, I'm going straight to Hell Rio. Better than Knockout? Maybe a half better. EDIT: I think that it is worth noting that I was fucked out of my gourd when I wrote this review. I'm surprised that it is even semi-coherent. So glad to have it in the city. Hell Rio for life! btw...I am a douchebag.
