i. Biography
Haley Traub’s rise at Attaboy has been measured, deliberate, and quietly assured, the kind of career path that feels less like a sprint than a carefully composed service: each movement exact, each step placed with intent. She is now General Manager and head bartender at Attaboy in New York, the latest stage in a route that began behind the bar at Dutch Kills in Long Island City in 2018. From the outset, her work has been shaped by the discipline of the room itself—the rhythm of the shift, the attention to detail, the unspoken understanding that hospitality is built one careful moment at a time. Asked about the ethos that carries that work forward, she has described it simply: "We are still staying true to ourselves."
Coming Up
Haley Traub began behind the bar at Dutch Kills in Queens, New York (from 2018), where the early foundations of her style took shape in the pace and pressure of service. That first chapter set the tone for what followed: a move to bartender at Attaboy in New York, New York (from 2020), where precision and poise became more than qualities—they became the structure of her career. The progression from one room to the next was not flashy, but it was telling. It suggested a bartender whose strength lies in consistency, in reading a room, and in meeting the demands of the night without losing composure. Today, Haley is General Manager of Attaboy, a role that reflects both the confidence she has earned and the trust her path has steadily built.
Where They Are Now
Traub now serves as General Manager and head bartender at Attaboy in New York, holding the room together from behind the bar while also shaping the wider pulse of service. It is a position that asks for calm authority and close attention, and her trajectory suggests someone well suited to both. In that role, she has said, "We are still staying true to ourselves," a phrase that feels less like a slogan than a working philosophy. It captures the discipline of a house that knows what it is, and the steadiness of a bartender who understands that evolution need not come at the expense of identity. Her ascent has been marked not by dramatic reinvention but by continuity: the same sense of focus, the same commitment to craft, now carried into a larger responsibility.
In Their Words “We took the easy approach with our greatest hits.” “We are still staying true to ourselves.”
