Breeders Are Invading!!!
I liked this bar 3 years ago. It's by far the classiest gay bar you'll find in LA, with an occasional celebrity appearance, but the breeders started to take it over about a year ago when it changed ownership. Oh yeah, and ALL the hot bartenders are straight! It's a good place to take your friends from out of town, but if you're looking for good dancing and a gay-old-time there are better places around town.
Over a year ago best people watching around, stiff drinks, and it's fun both as a nightclub but also during the day to sit and have a drink and lunch in the outdoor cafe area. - awesome music - cute bartenders - don’t bring Mom
Over a year ago Probably the most well-known bar in the world, the Abbey has got it all. On the negative side: it's gotten super popular with straight girls, and the food isn't all that good. On the positive side: it's like a big gay playground: eat & drink with friends. check. watch a comedy show. check. mingle. check. cruise. you get the point. Everyone goes here, some complain, but just go with a fun attitude and you'll have a blast. - cute bartenders - fun crowd - great happy hour
Over a year ago If you want a cliche gay West Hollywood mediocre bar experience that's going to cost you $50 for a round of drinks, this is the place to go. - long lines - rowdy
The place to be!!
The Abbey. This place is so much fun. It never disappoints. It is the perfect place to bring out of town friends, meet up for a delicious drink, dance the night away, or celebrate an occasion. For me life is about the memories and I've experienced many at the Abbey. * * *
