A place like this one is needed...

(wow this is my third review lol) If you don't feel like putting on a "look" or donning your cute shoes to pump around the gayborhood of the short north then this bar can satisfy your needs. I hear this area was the old gayborhood back in the day and am old enough to remember the Eagle and the Pyramid (the old location) but not necessarily the other bars (Preview Video Lounge,Kismet) anyhoo, This is a relaxed bar for a real drink and real convo. One of those places that you can go by your lonesome and end up making like 15 friends, be invited to a cook out and land a new job interview in one night. Atmosphere is great, good people. i have been frequenting a lot this summer for some reason (2010) in the end... I like trafik :)

Not too bad

Same ole drunks sit at the end of the bar every time I've been there - otherwise there is a good mix of people most of whom have been very friendly. One of the better places as far as places and people go.
