Los Angeles’s Best Queer Bars Celebrate Pride All Year Long | Eater LA

"Miles away from West Hollywood is one of the city’s most iconic (and inclusive) LGBTQIA bars, Akbar. Open since 1996, Akbar was saved by a GoFundMe in late 2020, when all bars were forced to close during the height of the pandemic. Akbar remains a central part of queer life in Los Angeles with inexpensive drinks and a welcoming crowd. Always check the website, as this Silver Lake bar has a robust calendar with DJs, recording artists, and a place to watch any queer-friendly TV programming." - Rebecca Roland
