"No introduction is necessary here, but we’ll give one anyway: The Abbey is the most recognizable gay bar in LA and probably the country (maybe the world?) and ground zero for all things Weho nightlife. And with four separate bars, a gigantic front patio, and a multi-tiered dance floor, it’s not being dethroned anytime soon. Just avoid the weekend nights, when Brentwood divorcees and carpooling teenagers from Rancho Cucamonga pack the room. And somehow, surprisingly, their food is quite good. Come on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and walk away thrilled. And tipsy." - brant cox
