I went to Traffic Bar on Missouri Street some days back with some friends. It wasn’t my first time going there and having a bad service but I couldn’t let this one pass.The service there is horrible. Not many people were around that night so they were perfectly fit to attend to everyone. It took them 40 MINUTES and many interventions from myself and my friends to the bar for them to finally serve us our draft beers.I asked to speak with a manager or at least someone responsible for the place that night and was told they didn’t have any initially. I asked again before they told me she wasn’t around. I can’t comprehend how the waiters are so nonchalant and why the service that night and other times I have gone is slow.What annoys me is that the place has a so much potential and has a nice vibe.If you value your money and time, I wouldn’t not recommend that place.
Heard about the place for 2 years and this was the first time I visited, trying to be somewhere new. Love the natural look of the whole place. Perhaps what is most catchy is that apart from the central bar, all sitting areas are designated different names(of regions in Abuja). Id say they make very good shisha, not harsh at all and the flavours are great. The flowers and trees also give somewhat kind of privacy. Cuisine too looked well presented. Due to sitting arrangements Id recommend call buttons on tables as the downside of the flowers is youre almost not visible trying to signal the bar guys, you gotta wait for one to pass which wasnt happening as fast.
As simple as the one in Lagos. Best spot for casual hangouts. Not too flashy & not drab also. Scenery is minimal & perfect for professionals that just want to chill after a long days work. Food & drinks is affordable also. Polite staff too. Same menu as the one in Lagos and same design too. Just that Lagos is more expensive; though affordable in terms of Lagos standard
Love the location. Quiet spot. Serene, with courteous staff. They were a tad slow yesterday, but theyre always spot on with other visits. Loved my milkshake at my last visit!
Love the food and menu is great as they have a little bit of everywhere. This used to be a go-to place for me and my wife but recently it seems neglected. I suggest retractable awning or plastic PVC sheets due to the rains and a bit of touchup. Still a lovely place to be on a moderate budget.
Nice. If u want a quiet and private evening. This is a great bet. I love their outdoor set up . The greenery! Shows off natures beauty.
Fantastic bar and restaurant. Their delicacies is out of this world. Very yummy.The cocktail speaks about the good quality of the bar. Well mannered staffs.
Nice place. Pitty that the barmaid that night was not really keen to prepare cocktails for white people, giving priority to local customers who arrived after. Shameful behaviour but hey... racism is everywhere on earth🤷♂️
Worst service ever. I arrived there at 9.30PM, I directly ordered food (chicken campanila), after 1h30min and after having asked several times to the waiter, I decided to go by myself to the kitchen to see where was my food and they told I should wait at least 40 more minutes to get it. I finally left the place at 11.30PM without having eaten anything.
Should be an Abuja landmark, but then those whove discovered this hidden gem would likely complain.Exotic sit-out (I think that is a Nigerian word) that still delivers on the Abuja garden experience with sophistication.You get essentially the same menu as the Galaxy location without the crowd. Try the sea marinara with white sauce and make it spicy if you are so inclined.Worth the experience if you havent been.
Amazing and quiet. Nice place if you want to do more of talking. Not crowded and good music
The places is great. Good ambience and less noise. Good for meetings and hanging out. A bit expensive. It is for the high class definitely
I love the garden feel of Traffic Missouri, music is great and not too loud and the cocktails are amazing. Shisha is also good. The quality of their food has declined over time which is very disappointing as I used to look forward to their seafood pasta. The last pasta dish I had was overcooked and bland. They increased prices of their meals and reduced quality and the food takes forever to get served. Maybe they changed chef or something but they really need to look into improving their food. The staff are quite friendly.
All I can say is this, the concept of traffic is exceptional... Nothing like it around, open space with names of major areas of the city making a spot within a spot👌. If am in Abuja I can visit traffic bar and in traffic bar I will seat at maitama (spot) or in Lagos Ill be at traffic bar but seating at Ikoyi. Affordable prices and good atmosphere always...
Location is well hidden so to say n I love it, the privacy, the mini aquariums, the flowers and tall hedge fenced wall gives it a forest look sort of😄 & an indoor art gallery as well as outdoor restaurant.Slightly raised price than the other, with a guest house so to say & in house cab drivers.Meals are nice and they vary so also drinks of all sorts, music & open bar outdoor sitting space.I love being outdoors hence my thrills 😀
Nice place for a drink and delicious pasta though it now looks weather beaten unlike 10 years ago that I was active there
I love this spot cos you can go away from the hustle and bustle of life and get the break you deserve. The ambience and atmosphere is relaxing, chill, tranquil. This resturant is surrounded by flowers and trees, the interior is a combination of nature and wood. I tagged it a getaway spot from lifes struggles and stress. The food is delicious and the music screams life on a chill.I recommend this spot!Follow @tourwithswagger and @gbogbo_swagger
Really cool, serene place. Good, not-so-loud music. Good food and nice waiters. Restrooms can be better tended though
Nice view located in a cozy environment. Its fairly lively at night and I love that it is a great place to hang out with friends. There is an outdoor sitting space where friends can come together for some bonding.Female toilet is fairly neat. The food isnt great. Shawarma looked uncooked, noodles were soggy. The chips seemed to be the best of what we ordered.I wouldnt try the dry martini next time. Drinks are, well, priced! Smirnoff black was 1000 naira so...Not sure how long they are open for but we left there after 12am.
Nice ambience. But slow customer service
I like the ambience of the bar and the outdoor setting is quite nice. The service however can be made better, had to wait almost 2 hours for my meal to be done and someone stormed out in anger just before my meal was brought to my table. I understand there was a high turnout of guests but I believe the servers can do better at managing customers.
Awesome place to visit with friends and loved ones
BEST place have been in the capital so far
Not that bad,could be better. There is however a need for the catering department to learn that theres a difference between stew and sauce.
Well, its the perfect place for an ambivert, a great place to go out on a date 😏
Nice spot. Loved the service.
The ambience and serene environment plus mouth watering dishes
Lovely ambience and the DJ, 💯❗❗❗.Food is good too.
Nice place . The management should try and fumigate that place against mosquitoes and also I think there is also need for the waiters to be trained properly considering my experience the last time I was there and other observations I made.
This spot is one of my favorites in Abuja.
Its just there... the setting is cool but the management is not it.
So its a 3 star because when you work with the Google map to the location its often misleading. Because its a hideout. But its a place you might want to try out this weekend.
Pretty cool place for a quite night out or a Business lunch. Ambiance is very relaxing and the standard of the cousins has been well maintained over the years. Families will also enjoy this place especially if they visit during the day.
This is a good place to experience. I went with a lady just one day briefly, she has been disturbing me to go there with her.
Good environment for relaxation
Place has really good ambience, good music and outdoors. but I waited for almost 2 hours for my order. And left in anger. It was a club sandwich with fries, mind you. The waiters were few and could only attend to so many.
Their food and drinks are good. You just have to find a waiter, stick with the waiter and be persistent until your food arrives.Service is slow.
The direction to this place, is sometime awful. But its a good hide out to chill and have your fun.
Really cool place to spend your evenings 😊
I got charged for my drink and VAT at the same time. Like why do I have to pay for their tax at the same time, thats absurd. Not impressed at all
Amazing ambiance, great food, excellent service
That its within the heart of a highly residential area doesnt quite make it achieve its full potential
A nice and unique hangout...puts you more in touch with nature...good price point too
Chill Ambiance. Awesome food. Excellent service
Amazing place, good food, good customer service and great ambiance
Cool place but expensive
Love it. But the lounge toilet should always be clean.
Lovely food. Perfect lighting if youre looking for something intimate.Not so great cocktails.
Not bad at all
Very coded place with a good kitchen. Low noise zone.
Great food, lovely atmosphere in a serene part of the city.
Excellent service and tasty meals.
Despite the wait time here being ridiculous, and by that I mean loooong, the ambience is pretty cozy. I love that the lighting is kept low and the sitting area is dark in the evening. Good food, drinks, Shiisha, but the delivery time needs to be worked on. DO NOT go here if you are desperately hungry. The prices are a bit steep so this is not a place for a cheap meal or drink. Great for a relaxing drink after work, catching up with friends, date night.
The food is amazing. Generous portions and had the most reheating frozen strawberry daiquiri
Very quiet and cozy place
The staff are usually very good, but tonight was a different story. Kept us waiting to be seated, waiting for our order to be taken, and then waiting for the order to arrive. Only the Shisha guy was prompt, and the shisha was awesome as usual.
The Shisha is great 👍
Its really okay
Concealed location to hangout with friends
Really nice environment and set up, enough parking spaces
Good food but basic coctails.
Beautiful scenery, amazingly friendly and polite staff. But ridiculously expensive.
Very cool and nice place to be.
A friend of mine booked a reservation for two at the Traffic...So I was privileged to have a view of their rooms.1. I find the rooms pretty decent2. There is a room with a balcony that has ample space. Nice!!!3. The front desk area looks attractive, a few aquariums here and there and artworks too.4. The deluxe rooms go for 22,500 or something around this figure.5. All in all, I think its a fair place to lodge
Food is nice but expensive plus alot of mosquitoes in the vicinity. I suffered a lot of bites afterwards
Private and tranquil with a very earthy green ambience
Cool place.
Very calm place for a cool evening sitout
Such serene nd private environment embedded with the beauty of nature, making it cozy nd romantic
Nice, car park good, security is top notch
Cool place to hang out with your friends
