Opened in early 2006 by three friends and former servers; Trio offers Pan-Asian cuisine with a heavy Thai influence, along with the warm service and hospitality that you would expect from a cozy neighborhood BYOB. Trio is located in the Fairmount section of the Philadelphia, and is just blocks from both the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the historic Eastern State Penitentiary.
Housed in a converted row home on the corner of Brown and Taney streets, Trio offers two floors of white tablecloth dining. Additionally, we offer al fresco dining on our second floor deck (weather permitting,) and a unique private dining room located on our third floor is available for banquets and parties.

Private Dining, BYO Wine Tastings, Private Events, Dinner Banquets, Wedding Rehearsals & Receptions, Business Meetings, Community Meetings, Surprise Birthday Parties, Baby/Wedding Showers.... you name it we've probably done it at Trio. Some events required the whole restaurant - all three floors, while others fit comfortably into our third floor private dining room. Whatever the event may be you can expect our best to make your event a great success.
Please click here to view our private dining and banquets brochure complete with deposit/reserve the date form, hors d'oeuvres options, sample menus with prices, and everything in between. If you would prefer to speak with someone to answer your questions or to make suggestions please call (215) 232.8746 and ask to speak with Van Chau or Michael Poole.BYOB - Bring Your Own Bottle - we know to some out-of-towners this is a bit of a foreign concept for dining out. In Philly, it's become very popular over the past 5-10 years. BYOB's will never overtake restaurants that do serve alcohol, but we BYO's definitely have our own niche and our customers do enjoy not paying the 3-4-sometimes-even-5 times markup on wine, beer, and cocktails.
Here is our BYOB Beer and Wine List i.e. recommendations and personal favorites
Beer
Something local? Yards, Victory, Weyerbacher
Thai ~ Singha is the most popular and widely available
Japanese ~ We really like Asahi, but Sapporo is good too
Chinese ~ Tsingtao of course
Mexican ~ Negro Modelo, Dos Equis, Corona (we have the limes)
Do you have a better suggestion that you enjoy with Thai food? Please let us know - post it on our Facebook page or use the Contact Us page to drop us a note - we would love to know and add it to our list
Wine
A nice fruity Zinfandel (red)
Riesling ~ Again anything fruity that will stand up to Thai spices and flavors
A big Chardonnay with plenty of oak and buttery flavors (Cakebread is a favorite but a bit pricy)
Do you have a better suggestion that you enjoy with Thai food? Please let us know - post it on our Facebook page or use the Contact Us page to drop us a note - we would love to know and add it to our list
Where to Buy?
The closest PA State Liquor store to Trio is located at 20th Street and Fairmount Avenue next to the Post Office, selection is limited if wine is your thing. For better selection choose a state store down town. Click here for all Philadelphia PLCB locations.
