"Silver Lake legendary queer bar Akbar gets a shout-out during Charlie’s dinner at Ginny: no surprise, given its seminal place in Los Angeles’s queer bar scene. 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. It remains a central part of queer life in Los Angeles with inexpensive drinks and a welcoming crowd; it also hosts a robust calendar with DJs, recording artists, and queer-friendly television watch parties." - Eater Staff
