Akbar

(125 Ratings)
Alterna-cool lounge in Silverlake
The opposite of uber-trendy WeHo bars, this hipster crowd is for bears and disco daddies.

Not API friendly Not Deaf Hoh friendly Not Disability friendly. Not Short friendly. Very superficial crowds. And snobby attitudes in a group.

Nothing compares to Akbar L.A. - this place is an institution! And it just keeps getting better. The crowds are super fun, very festive and friendly, and always ready to dance. It's a small venue but seems to work, everyone fits in nice and cozy, but doesn't ever seemed uncomfortably packed. I love the music, always something new and different every night of the week, keeping it fresh. And Akbar seems to attract a wide variety of sexy faces from around L.A.. It's a great "eastside" escape from the craziness of West Hollywood. Love it!!
