A local fixture, always good.
If you are looking for a solid local bar, with cheap drinks, friendly people, and good billiards tables, you've found it. Trunks is always a good time - it's just never a great time. It has historically been a starting and/or ending location to a night, and is perfect at what it is.
Seen better!
I went in on a busy'ish Sunday nite in May 2010 - sorry I dont agree with the other reviews - the bar staff were polite but looked bored/tired, the floor was dirty with napkins & rubbish, it just didn't feel a nice place to be in. As a tourist not a regular first impressions count...
Great Place!
Everyone is really friendly and the drinks are cheap, so I can't really ask for much more! When I go out, I like to make new friends so if that's what you are looking for this place is great. If you are a stuck up bitchy queen that thinks you are the greatest living creature ever this place isn't probably for you.
Friendly bar with STRONG drinks
Premium drinks are $6 and lord, they pour to within a splash of the top! STRONG drinks. Great place to get your buzz on before you go to the pricier bars. Also love it for an afternoon or happy hour drink, great to sit in the front windows and watch the passerbys. Sweet bartenders, very very nice. Two pool tables. I do miss the ceiling fans as on warm days the air gets stale in there, needs more circulation when it's hot.
This Place Rocks
This Place Rocks, Laid back Starter and ender of the Night...Come to this bar have 1-3 drinks Then head on down the road and dance...come back for 1-2 more cheap drinks etc...People are nice and staff Rocks...

Nice place to hang out and meet new people
Not trendy, no frills...great place! Nice mix of GBLT folks patron this quaint little nugget on Santa Monica. 2 pool tables...put your quarters down if you want to play. I went on a Wednesday night and it was crowded but not uncomfortable. The DJ was playing a retro mix of rock, pop and disco...beat mixing it all mashup style. He did a great job and was super nice! I paid $9 for a shot of Jager and a Miller lite. NICE! So many places in WeHo pride themselves on watered down drinks for $12 - 15 a pop. This place is generous! Wear jeans, teeshirt and tennies and you'll feel right at home. Drawbacks: the seats along the walls and in the booths are so narrow you can hardly fit even a skinny ass on them. One bathroom is all I could find... no biggie for me, but other ladies might not want to share with the boys. Otherwise...definitely worth checking out.
Good bar
You walk in, be yourself and the world is yours!
VERY friendly bartenders/staff as well as customers.
Oh, this is Teriffic "Cheers" Kind of Place!!
Everytime I'm in West Hollywood, I drop in at Trunks, and have always been greeted by a hearty "Hi! Can I help you?", and a convivial environment. Trunks isn't much, it don't have a lot of stuff, or ambience. But, what it does have is a staff, and clientele who give the impression, at least, that they are sincerely glad to meet you, and is there anything we can get you, otherwise, please, just hang out. Sometimes, the WeHo experience can get a little intense, and Trunks is just the place to relieve that stress. Not much happens, there's no dancing, or much crusing, for that matter. It's just a neat place to calm down for awhile, which for busy guys is a rarity - a simple, uncomplicated good time. I enjoy Trunks immensely.
uggg, not anther one
this place was a waste of time. rude and no hawties to look at.
Comfortable and Unassuming....
Trunks is a nice change of pace in an area where big clubs and expensive ultra-lounges rule. 2 pool tables in the back are in near constant use and the regulars here take their pool very seriously. Bartenders are quite possibly the best looking and friendliest in town. Big, open window in the front makes for great people watching. Diverse crowd - young asian boys to old white men and everything in between.
