This 3,500-square-foot, bi-level bar and lounge draws sports fanatics on game day, midtown suits seeking to unwind after a day at the office and 20-somethings celebrating their birthdays on weekend nights. With 23 flat-screen TVs, Traffic can access any game being broadcasted, and comfy seating, happy hour specials and a tapas-style menu of classic bar fare make it an ideal spot for large groups to cheer on their alma maters. Private rooms and party packages also make it a stress-free option for corporate events.

Key Points

  • Daily Happy Hour 5-8pm
  • Private rooms

The Inside Scoop

  1. The Extras - Traffic is a homebase for Texas, Indiana and Tennessee alums.
  2. Save Money - For $30, get a bucket of 30 wings and five Coors Lights.
  3. Fun Fact - Look for the green light! When the stoplights (located behind both the upstairs and downstairs bars) turn green, it's go-time for drink specials.

Great Happy Hour and Food

by brett03

I was here last weekened to watch football. There are so many TV's to watch the games on and the manager was very accomodating with changing the channels. The Food was great especially the Mac N Cheese and sliders they were very affordable and for bar food really good. The drink specials were great as well. I will def be back to watch more sporting events here.

Pros: Mac N Cheese and sliders

Pleasantly Suprised

by juliekatz82

I went to traffic last night for a friends Birthday party and the place was great . I haven't had fun like that in along time. No list at the door, no bottles, nothing pretentious just fun.. was so unexpected. I never write reviews but i have to here because i had forgotten what it was like to go out some where and just have fun and not be treated poorly. lol Things we are all to use to in Manhattan i guess. no more for me, i will definitely be back here.

Pros: FUN

Great Party

by Joshw

We did our end of the summer office party there last night and it couldn't have gone better. The place itself is really nice and they extended happy hour and did everything to work with us. Traffic is our new spot for sure, nicest place in Midtown.

Pros: no hassles, friendly and accomodating

Best New Bar in Midtown!!!

by VeryHappy1

I went to Traffic last week and it was amazing!! The bartenders were friendly, the drinks were strong, and the prices were very reasonable. They even had an open bar special when the traffic light went green!! Great place, thumbs up.
