Review: Traffic is situated on Abbey Street in the centre of Dublin. It is a really stylish pub with black and white leathers streets surrounding the large pub area as well as the centre pub - in fact it sort of resembles a top class diner. The pints are a little expensive but they taste good and the service is top notch. The sounds were laidback and realxing on the Friday evening we dropped in and we all agreed that it was a good place to relax in after a long day in the office. The toilets which were situated upsatirs we incredibly clean. The atmosphere was cool and the clinetele were suitably stylish. A good place to go for a trendy night out.
Public Reviews:
2. A rare find - a style bar that's not pretentious. The staff, decor and music are first rate. As the name suggests, it's a busy spot. Good news too for wheelchair users, it's fully accessible.
3. When you aim high there is always the danger that you will crash and burn. This is what appears to have happened in Traffic on Abbey Street. An uber-trendy ultra-designed new-millennium new-Dublin drinking establishment complete with flat screen televisions playing looped videos of unusual arty type graphics, this is a venture that aimed high but fails to deliver. With a long slender layout and the requisite leather sofas and seats, is has the necessary bells and whistles to make a stab at trendy Dublin pub. However its poor location on unfashionable Abbey Street counts strongly against it and it fails to generate the indispensable buzz. In addition to the ground floor bar, there is a small and intimate upstairs snug which is far more likeable as well as a rather cramped club located in the basement. If you are looking for some al fresco glamour there is also a miniscule exterior seating area. The attitude of the staff when I dropped by alternated between extremely pleasant and unfavorably discourteous. Overall I would advise a pass on this - there are better 'trendy' bars in Dublin if that's what you are looking for and if you're not, then it's definitely to be avoided.
4. Great place - Great Staff !
5. I don't like dance music but I still like this place. It plays kind of funky house that you can dance to and it's not like the place next door which seems to just play noise! Cute guys n a nice crowd - not pretentious but do like to pose which is cool.
6. Simple really - don't go. Overpriced badly mixed drinks. Surly and unfriendly staff and a general lack of culture and civilisation. Of all the bars visited on our stay in Dublin the quietest and most disappointing.
7. Yeah thought traffic was grand untill I went to buy a drink...staff are rude..But what really put me of was when I went to the loo and 2 girls where taken "what I think was drugs" by the wash basins. Really nice!
