I have only been to the restaurant part of Trio, we bypassed the (very quiet - it was outside of term-time) bar and continued upstairs. The restaurant itself was full of posh students / young professionals. Our waiting staff were friendly, polite and efficient. Portions are small and not cheap but they taste amazing. My chicken satay came on a piece of slate, and although initially mocking this I soon shut-up once I had tasted it, delicious and drizzled with a sweet yet spicy satay sauce. Sea Bass for the main course was also delicious. It isn't cheap student food here but a proper grown-up restaurant in the heart of student land.

Trio refers to the three floors, basement bar, first floor restaurant & top floor bar. My fave one when with a large group is the basement bar, good indie tunes to cheesy dance & the inevitable 80’s revival... well it is predominantly students, not grubby ones, fairly affluent ones, it is Headingley after all. Unfortunately, underneath it all, they’re still students & if that irks you at all, give this & most of Headingley a wide bearth! Does get packed when the college & uni kids are in town.

The food on the 1st floor is good (though I usually only get one of the excellent pizzas when I eat here). Service is fast, friendly & efficient, there’s usually an energetic buzz about the place. The doorstaff are usually friendly & helpful, never seen any trouble here, though youngsters can get boisterous from time to time. A good place to eat during the day, though getting drunk on one of the other floors is usually the reason to be there on a Saturday night.

Top floor more indie & 80’s music, bit more relaxed here. I suspect some of the kids are unaware why the place is called Trio & that this floor even exists ;-)
