"The Abbey is one of the most recognizable gay bars in America. This West Hollywood institution is a multi-room metropolis where you could spend an entire night just wandering around making sure you’ve seen every part of it. Weekends tend to get ambushed with college kids and gaggles of straight girls, so we recommend going on a weeknight when it’s just as fun, but the crowd is much more local and you’ll actually be able to find space on the dance floor. Don’t ignore the Sunday brunch either - it gets weird." - brant cox, brett keating
