WHEN looking for the perfect chill spot, there’re obviously a lot of choices these days. With different themes to choose from, it’s often hard to decide which one to go with.
But if what you’re looking for is a serene atmosphere with suave music that caters to the sophisticated taste, then tucked away on Barrack Street in upmarket Kingston away from the hustle and bustle is the Triumph Bar and Lounge.
The chic lounge has been going for some 18 months now, and proprietor Patrick Triumph says he prides himself on the kind of customer base that the bar caters to.
“We are looking for those with sophisticated tastes. We do have events that attract the young people, but we also have a lot of support from the more mature customers,” Triump said.
“What we like to do as well is cater to the professionals, but it’s a place where you can even meet with your business professionals; you can network and meet with persons in different areas of business,” he added.

The atmosphere of the bar is quite subjective, and can be adjusted to go with whatever mood the customer is looking for, especially when catering out to private functions.
Those who have tried the bar have given it a thumbs up, particularly commending the bar for the level of privacy it avails.
“Great atmosphere and privacy! The cocktails were excellent and not lacking alcohol! Once the standard is maintained, I plan to visit Triumph often; I will definitely recommend it to everyone,” was one of the rave reviews on the spot’s Facebook page.
And, of course, it’s not just about the atmosphere, but the menu as well.
“I kept my birthday at Triumph Restaurant Bar & Lounge, and the service and food is to die for! Love, love it! Well done! 10 stars is what I want to give you!” said another satisfied customer.
Aside from the bar, the restaurant also does daily lunch specials.
