"The Abbey is flanked by the Lincoln Road Romero Britto store and a Sugar Factory. But you come to this dark bar to escape the sins of corporate development while drinking great beer and chatting with strangers. The Abbey stays open till 5am nightly, so it's a great late-night option if you don't want to go anywhere near a DJ. But it's also perfect for an afternoon beer on a weekday, when it feels like a neighborhood pub. Come at 5:30pm to watch local news on mute while nodding along to Tom Petty. Or bring a laptop and get some work done. Last time we were here, we watched someone just leave theirs on the communal wooden bench while they used the bathroom. That couldn’t (and shouldn’t) happen anywhere but The Abbey. " - ryan pfeffer
