Abbey

Breeders are invading- yes it's true and we have to share our space. Went there last week and I swear there were more straight people than gay people. What a shame. This used to be the best bar in WEHO hands down for gays or lesbians. Was a great inclusive atmosphere with great music and drinks. Now the menu has changed- got worse. The clientele has changed- got straighter and I am wondering if we are getting pushed out of our own community. Still has an awesome atmosphere but they don't make the drinks the way they used too. It's too bad really.

I really 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 fag hag or friends from out of town, but if you're looking for good dancing and a gay-ol-time there are better places around town.

I've been chillen at the abbey since I was in high school over 10 years ago when it was mainly a coffee and pastry shop! I've seen its growing pains & watched it grow into an amazing Empire for the gay community to come together and celebrate our uniqueness!Yes there are snobs, rude waiters & bitchy bartenders& sometimes getting served can be a bit of a pain,but for every bad there is a great! I've found some of the most beautiful,talented,colorful people and experiences there! I'm so proud to know the Great Abbey grew in the heart of Weho as a gay bar where you can bring your straight guy friends & have confidence they'll be impressed & have a great time!I want to thank David Cooley the creator of the Abbey for inspiring a poor young gay boy from the ghetto to shoot for the stars! The Abbey is a must! Great drinks, OK food, beautiful surroundings!

The best bar in town...

The place is elegant and the music is truly great. Very good place to see people that are "in", relaxed and without complexes. I wish there was a dance floor. It is difficult to get service and the waiters are uninterested and rude.
