Uncomfortable

I'm not sure what it is about this place, but I don't always feel right here. I've been here twice early in the evening and once after 1am. An older crowd dominated on the two early nights and on the late night, there were a few random older guys, plus one drag queen, dancing on Trafik's relatively small dance floor. I'll give it a few stars for the great DJ and the awesome light show though. Trafik is not in the greatest neighborhood even though it's close to downtown. Drink prices are reasonable and the bar staff is great, but I guess this just isn't my scene. It's worth a visit, though. Be sure to take a picture with the giant stuffed grizzly bear upstairs!

Nice but empty

I was there twice on a saturday night and only around 10 people were in the bar. It's really too bad, because the place is quite nice; music is good, drink are affordable and good, and the ambiance is interesting.
