I’ve heard a lot of bad reviews from people about traffic, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. when we first went in, it was really quiet and quite empty and i was worried that it would be like this all night. but as the night flowed, the music got louder and the beats got better and it was definitely looking up. the drinks are not very expensive, the drinks menu is very long and could never be boring! towards the end of the night, i was really having a great time. the bar staff are so friendly and super efficient and it gets really lively and fun so if it isn’t so great early, hold out for a bit longer!

I'm always impressed with bar staff who manage to keep their cool during office Xmas parties and serve everyone super speedily. We had a private room in Traffic for our Xmas party this year. From what I can remember of the food, it was well presented (although the parsnips with my Xmas roast were a tad too undercooked for me). I'd love to go back to enjoy the incredibly rich chocolate pudding without having downed copious amounts of alcohol beforehand.

Back to our friendly bar-man - not only did he provide a plethora of mixed orders at high speed, he also chatted pleasantly and gave us all some free house shots at the end of the evening - which in anyone's books is above and beyond the call of duty when you've been dealing with an office party.
