“If you seek a well poured pint in a supremely comfortable atmosphere, Trials Pub (265 N Ist St), north of San Pedro Square, has many excellent ales on tap (try a Fat Lip), all served in a warm, friendly room with no TVs. There's good pub food too.”
Lonely Planet Guide to California
2003 Edition
Trials Pub is a rarity. It is an authentic Pub in a franchised world, a space free of televisions and "wazzup" beers. Trials Pub is a home-away-from-home for people from around the world and around the corner.
Situated in an historic landmark — the building dates back to 1894 — Trials is just the latest occupant in one of the most interesting Victorian buildings in the heart of Silicon Valley.
