"The Abbey isn’t a first date spot for everyone. It’s on the dive bar end of the spectrum—although not at the extreme end. But if your date appreciates an old school bar with lots of charm, then go for it. Despite being just off Lincoln Road, The Abbey feels like a local’s spot. The staff is friendly, they have darts and pool, and you can sit in these adorable little mini booths perfect for couples. The Abbey feels more vaguely European than South Beach, and could make for a delightful change of pace if you’ve spent the last seven first-dates at Lagniappe." - Ryan Pfeffer
