A must to visit in West Hollywood for a drink or food . We went last Tuesday night for tacos and Margaritas. Love the outdoor area with heatlamps. Tacos $4 50 each on Tuesdays and they were very good, not amazing but a 4. Service was a little slow to start but the doorman helped us to a table and with menus. Our server was extremely busy but so nice and drinks and food reasonably quick. Recommend.

Loved spending an evening here, the Chapel had Musical Mondays going and it did not disappoint. Great talent and a wonderful range of genres, a fun night for all. The drinks were strong and worth the price, looking forward to my next visit.

Felix, the bartender is so friendly and kind!! We heard of this place all the way from Michigan and LOVED it we came for lunch, as well as back for happy hour. He made the whole experience worth it.

We were here last night based on a recommendation. Even though we went there without knowing that it was a gay bar, there were more women than men and everyone was respectful. You can make good friends, but when I went to my car, the security guards tried hard not to pick me up. I dont understand you. Even the fact that my jacket was inside didnt convince them. Jacket was stolen but overall nice environment. Do not take too many items with you and be sure to have a zippered security pocket. 😅 The music is high quality and the dancers are very talented.

I tried to hit the Abbey when I go out to LA. Its a good meeting point. I love the chapel and the vibe that can happen. However, this time some of the bartenders were very rude. I asked for a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand and he said I dont know where its from. I dont think we have New Zealand then he gave me a menu and I had Kim Crawford, which is obviously from New Zealand. You would think they would know what the hell theyre serving. I know they have a lot of issues but Ive met some people so Ill keep going back but I think they definitely need a better vibe with some of their workers.

Went here for the nightlife scene and boy it didn’t disappoint. The vibe, the people, the service were so fun! Everyone was super respectful and music was top notch. I was 19 weeks pregnant for a farewell party for a friend, and it was always easy to get water at the bar and accessible to toilet. We ended up finding a table top for me to sit down and rest my legs whenever needed. Love the indoor outdoor vibe and highly recommended.

Venerable bar & restaurant in WeHo with go-go dancers. Came here during Pride Weekend and it was a 2 hour wait (arrived ~10pm). Limited metered street parking is available but read the signs! I’d suggest coming here earlier rather than later to avoid a long wait, as even pre-covid there was usually a long line. Social distancing wasn’t enforced and masks were required when you were walking in (not sure how things might’ve changed with California’s reopening). The workers all wore masks, though the bouncer that night did have a lengthy discussion about why he didn’t have the vaccine with my friend and another group. Credit cards are accepted. Bathrooms are available by the back bar.When I went, the Abbey was functioning primarily as a restaurant so it wasn’t as crowded and the go-go dancers were separated from patrons. If you get food, the nachos were large and I liked the melted cheese. The fries are thicker cut and come with ranch and ketchup. The chicken (we kept calling it popcorn chicken but I’m not sure what it was) was also generously portioned and had BBQ, ranch, and thousand island sauces on the side.

My friend’s phone was stolen and Find my iPhone said it was behind the far left bar. The bartenders said they didn’t have it. “Check the bakery” is what they will tell you, but as soon as you ask the bakery, they immediately say “no” without checking or asking other employees working the bakery. There were a few other girls looking for their phones which had also been stolen. All, including myself, were talking to and asking security to help. Security offered no real help. One of the security guys heard me say that my phone was stolen and I told him “up there,” so he immediately followed me. Then when I pointed behind the bar, he essentially began to ignore me. Another girl who was looking for her phone told me that hers had also been located behind the far left bar, had since been turned off, and the bartender told her they didn’t have it. I understand that there is only so much that security/employees can do when someone reports a stolen phone. However, my instinct is that employees are involved somehow, but of course I can’t say for sure.

Worst bar experience I have EVER had!!!My friend had her phone stolen here and while waiting for (the only kind) worker to help us. A disgusting security officer 3x my size physically assaulted me. I made a report that night for her uncalled for behavior. The head security guard, Parker, gave me a fake phone number, and this company has made it extremely difficult for me to contact them in hopes of rectifying this situation.As someone with invisible disabilities, I strongly advise EVERYONE from taking a step in this extremely UNSAFE establishment. I wish I could give this place a 0.Save your time, money, and energy-The Abbey is NOT worth it.

Had a single vodka cran last night and was blackout maybe 30 minutes later & ended up at the hospital, i’ve been hooked up to machines all day and i can’t even keep water down. the bartenders and workers are all in on it and they’re the ones spiking your drinks. stop giving this place any business and for the love of god someone shut them down because this is happening way too often

Be aware this place is known for theft. Be expected to lose your phone. Just last night 10 phones were stolen. The sad thing is that this is nothing new. It’s a known issue and the owners don’t do anything about it. Maybe they’re part of this. I don’t recommend going there. The drinks are super pricey too

Have you ever got the feeling that you have been deliberately ignored at a venue because you face doesnt fit I was ignoredat Abbey Food & Bar 1 April 2024 at around 8pm initially for fifteen minutes and it was not particularly busy, but eventually a bartender black roundish glasses, who looked like he was around 24. deigned to attend to me. After I had been standing on my walking stick for around fifteen minutes he then occasionally threw a disdainful stare at me whilst chatting other patrons. I had indicated that wanted slice of lime in my soda water , which was provided he then deigned to take my order of carrot cake with coconut and pecan and coconut icing and ice cream. I had never ordered food in a club environment so was unsure if I should pay at the bar but so after waiting or another fifteen minutes I took a seat and waited forfor another fifteen minutes wondering what was going on I went back to the bar and he said what you want?. I had already ordered my cake off a menu which stated that it was carrot cake with coconut and pecan icing and ice cream , but when it finally arrived it was just an a cake with an unidentifiable thin white icing and certainly no ice cream and the cake which tasted sickly sweet. i expected better for $11.00. There should have been no confusion in the first place as I placed an order off the menu and he went and punched into the machine the behind barI had never ordered food a club, as the bartender had then gone off (wordlessly) to serve other patrons. I therefore assumed that I should take a seat and that the order and bill would brought to my table . I sat down for another fifteen minutes and started to get the feeling that I was deliberately being ignoredI went over and said do you not serve people with cancer does this not fit your ideal patron look?, which got his attention He then had the chutzpah to quickly say you must have confused me with another member of staff (out of all of the other male staff members wearing that style of glasses on that particular night@ management do you feel that this is the way to treat differently-abled patrons or or no anyone for that matter anyone??

They have a fabulous outdoor Terrace with easily accessible bar great seating fun ambiance. This is the Fun Spot in West Hollywood to dance mingle and have a good time. Whos who of Hollywood always stops by its the perfect spot to meet cool interesting people in the industry. Everyone here is sexy, especially the go-go dancers! The music is always fun table service is exceptional. They make strong drinks and the bartenders are really fast. Be sure to tip them well and theyll take good care of you. Its the place to be seen. Wish they had more restrooms because its always crowded with a long line. But the Russians are super clean well-maintained and fully stocked with all you need. After the drinks are flowing youll find yourself having an amazing wild and crazy night with a lot of stories to tell the next day.

Amazing drag show on Monday nights. Some of the BEST Los Angeles Talent comes through here: DJs, Gogos, Dancers, and Performers. So def a destination to visit in LA. The interior design is fun and existing and the space is BIG. Dance floor, multiple bars to get drinks in case one is too busy, patio, and even a cafe. Always awesome vibes when you go here. A good mix of straight & gay folxs. Not gonna lie some of the hottest guys and girls in the city hang here so its always a fun crowd. Great place for dancing, drinks, food, and and entertainment.

We arrived in LA on Christmas Day and everything was closed except for Starbucks. Our last resort for Christmas Dinner was The Abbey. It was a Christmas Miracle with comfortable outdoor seating, a mixed and friendly clientele, fast and satisfying meals and fishbowl martinis. Gogo dancers in Christmas themed underpants were a highlight.

Review №34

The Abbey in West Hollywood is an LGBTQI venue in West Hollywood.It is a great venue for food and drinks.Unfortunately, it is a hot or miss on whether you get a decent waitperson.On this visit, I attended twice.The first waitperson was excellent. Attentative but not intrusive. Well deserved the 20%+ gratuity.Unfortunately, at my second visit on 11/23 the wait waitperson was barely existent. I saw them twice. Numerous times they ignored my signals that I needed something. I still gave a gratuity but it certainly wasnt the normal 20%+.I ended having an apple pie as dessert and was surprised to find it was cold and had not been warmed up.My waitpersons shift ended and they left which was interesting so Im not sure if they iwill get the tip.It is a great venue but needs to be spruced up.The bar chairs and booths need a serious update.

Think twice before heading to the Abbey. My friend’s phone and wallet got swiped right there while we were hanging out. Youd think a place like the Abbey would have better security. But nope, it seemed like anyone could just grab stuff and walk out. Not cool. Its a bummer because the place has a great atmosphere, but whats the fun if you have to worry about your stuff the whole time?

Review №36

Fun until it wasn’t. The music and vibes seemed good, but we kept getting harassed wherever we stood to dance. Because of this, we made sure to stay extra aware of our surroundings, had only 2 drinks each and kept the drinks close to us at all times. All that and still my phone got stolen from inside my purse (they ruined its clasp) and my friend got roofied. We’ve replayed the night in our heads over and over, and we suspect it was the bartender (longhaired guy). While we were closing the tab he tried to charge us both rounds of drinks at the end, even though we had paid for the first round way before we opened the tab. We got into a whole back and forth with him on this trying to explain it. That last drink was the roofied one, and it makes sense, since she was the one paying. RUN. Not worth the bad time

Review №37

This is a pretty nice place. Good music, dancers and drinks. But there’s a problem: I’ve entered and put my things on the locker. Later, they have split the nightclub into 2 places; and my things got on the other nightclub space where I couldn’t enter again without get a huuuuuuuuge line of people who was just arriving. And this rude security didn’t even listen to me when I’ve asked just to get my things back from the locker. It was freezing, I’ve paid for the locker, I’ve got the line before and he just wanted me to get back. But in very rude way he said I should get back the line (without any clothes), because suddenly they’ve splited the nightclub. He was rude. He was awful. So, I don’t give The Abbey 5 stars, but 3.

The bartender in the first picture actually refused to wait on me and my friends! My bestie came into town from Newyork! I rented her a house for a week! Decided to go to The Abbey, this bartender served every white person including those that walked up after me. He even whispered to the bartender in the second picture not to serve me. I had to get the supervisor who was he also whispered to, fortunately I started recording and he had no choice! He said put that camera away and I’ll serve you! My white friend I met during the conflict bought me drinks from the same bartender! All and all I spent over 290.00 on drinks and I will never again put money in the hands of racists and anti black establishment. Sad thing is he was easy on the eyes but a horrible human being

Review №44

My friends and I went on a Saturday night, we went up to the bar on the side and were rudely acknowledged by a bartender named Roxanne/Roxxy. As soon as we approached her she became impatient asking if all five of us were going to order drinks, we said only 2 of us since the other 3 were the designated drivers.She gave us a dirty look and asked again “are you guys sure? Only two drinks???”, it’s almost like she thought the other 3 were going to order drinks after she took the initial order and inconvenience her later. After she poured our drinks from the slushy machine, she threw the tab on the counter and walked away. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I still tipped her $4 for pouring two drinks from a slushy machine. After I signed the tab and left it on the counter, she immediately came over, looked at the tip and became more annoyed, then walked away mad. I’m sorry if you weren’t happy with the tip, I still tipped you because I assumed you were having a bad day but you having an attitude just makes your environment and the customers environment a bad one.

It is fantastic that the Abbey is still open and operating during COVID. The Abbey has always been one of my go to places in West Hollywood and has delicious drinks. This was the first time I have ordered appetizers and they were pretty good.Parking can always be an issue when visiting West Hollywood but there are some pay lots nearby.Prices are exactly what you expect for an upscale bar in West Hollywood and they do mix a good cocktail so they are worth the money!

The music is always on point and their food menu is GREAT. My favorite is their Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup.…WOW. Their service could use some serious help though. I would’ve given 4-stars for this review but their service really is just awful. The wait for them to take your order and the wait to receive your order will be approximately one hour, that’s pretty terrible. If I go and don’t order food, only drinks, I still would’ve only given them 4-stars because their service just sucks. Besides their service, I really do love this place.

My cell was stolen twice at this place. The waiters overcharge you by mistake. Once the mistake cost me $80 dollars for a drink that was priced at $15. How innocent of them! And it happened several times. I was drunk but my receipt was the proof and my bank statement. Fortunately, I called the manager and he fixed the problem. I recommend you take cash with you and watch your wallet. Anyway, its still a great place to dance the night away. Snobbish types but who gives a f...?

I’ve been attending abbeys for about 3 years now. My absolute favorite bar to go out to. The atmosphere is incredible. The drinks are made strong and not expensive. You can sit, stand, dance, do whatever you want there is so many options. I’m personally not gay but it’s also for straight people. I have a lot of friends that are gay that go and a lot of friends that are straight and go. It’s open for everyone and it really is fun to go to abbeys and see all the cool people and dancers and it’s not your average dance bar. That’s why I enjoy it so much. I’m there at least once a week and I’m never let down after going there.

Hands down great atmosphere. Most seem happy to be there and having a good time. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick service by the bartenders. One slight dilemma, if you really want to call it such is that drinks are filled to the rim and consequently because it is so busy will result in major spillage. So, as soon as you get your drink - drink to avoid the above mention.

The food here is pretty good. My partner and I shared the warm chicken salad and the BBQ beef brisket sandwich. The combination of the two definitely filled us up. The Rosemary and garlic fries are tasty, although I wished they were served hot. We had them take it back but it came out at the same temperature. The coffee is decent, nothing really to write home about. Overall its nice to come here to eat during the day and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Really unfortunate for this bar that theft is so common here.3 out of 4 of my friends (one of them being me) got our phone stolen this past Saturday night 2/23/19. All of our phones were in our zipped purse and we all looked down to an unzipped purse with no cell phones. We were not all together at the time of the theft either, seems extra fishy. & yes we should have been more careful, but for all 3 of us to get our phones stolen essentially at the same time when we werent all standing next to each other, clearly indicated there is definitely a group of people working together to do this.When attempting to speak to staff regarding the issue they were all dismissive and did not care. I have a very strong feeling the staff are in on the theft.When we left the bar, there were at least two other females out front who also said their phone was stolen.OVERALL, just avoid the Abbey. There are far too many bars to go to in the area where you dont have to worry about being robbed.& to whoever stole all of our phones, good luck attempting to use it/sell it. Its locked and reported stolen. Also Karma exists.

Having never been to a gay bar before, I was thrown in the deep end when I went here on Pride with a group of friends. The place is enormous and it was packed. There were male go-go dancers and everyone was dancing.

The club itself has interesting lay out: main entrance with the bar, dance lounge with restrooms (a little down), open roof smoking area, sit down restaurant and another area bar. Music can be heard in all areas. There is no cover charge (or at least there wasnt when I went on Saturday night). The drinks are good and made to request (more vodka, sweeter etc), service is great. Music, however, I would put on the downside: wasnt too technical, remixes werent great. Just some regular motives to shake to.. Parking (of course), but valet is available for $10. People are not that friendly.. Everybody is looking and staring at you but noone would come out and start talking to you or invite to dance with you. Overall there was a feeling of not welcomed and snobbish people in there, just rich kids came to hang out and drink like for a regular night

The Abbey has a little bit of everything for everyone! Here you can have your birthday party, bash party, get-together, business meetings, or just social time. Last time I counted four main bars, (but I think I saw more) huge dance floor, great food, outdoor patio, etc. Its a great place to be YOU! The staff are friendly and quick to respond to issues. And in case you wanna freshen up, add some cologne to yourself, forgot gum, they have that available by the restrooms, so no need to run to the store and buy those things. Nightlife there is superb!

I always celebrate my birthday In Beverly Hills.and usually have a great time in weho at the abbey. This visit was a disaster. If your single do not go to the abbey with the state being on lock down. I had to wait outside because I requested a decent table for one. Finally the sat me in the back to enjoy a drink while I get a decent table 20 minutes to get a drink now I have been here an hour including my wait time and still no decent table. It’s my birthday and they have so far made it difficult for me to enjoy my night. David Cooley you should be ashamed of yourself not taking care of your customers.

Review №83

Although the Abbey is supposedly an amazing place, for what you pay to be forced to stay seated... in a dancy club bar... with threats to be kicked out for dancing. I was floored!Expect to pay way more than you expected, plus added gratuity. It was over $50 for two mixed drinks!I’m all for paying people for doing their jobs, but the servers spent more time scolding me for dancing by my seat (literally standing above my seat where I was sitting) than they did actually serving me.I realize this is COVID restriction induced, but I just can’t help but feel like I dropped so much money to basically scream over the extremely loud music to have a conversation, or if I succumbed to the music they were playing.. which was extremely hard to resist dancing to... I would get told to sit down or else being kicked out.Just save your money and come back when it’s fully open. It’s def not worth it, until dancing is allowed again. That’s why people come here...

The music is geared more towards techno or house beats. It can get pretty crowded and you have to walk through all the smokers to get inside. They have a small selection of baked goods inside at the chapel. And though the male dancers are usually cute, they dont do a whole lot however, the woman dancers always bring a solid energy to their performances

Love the food and the atmosphere here! Used to be my goto club but the people dynamic has changed so much. Lots of roofies, tons of frat bros and their girlfriends. The chapel next door is now the good gay hang. My favorite times here at the Abbey are brunch on the weekends! The atmosphere is the best!!

This place is definitely a good time. The drinks were delicious, the patrons were super nice, and the music and dancing was a blast. It does get crowded, but its because of how much fun it is. Definitely a good place to visit for locals and out of towners alike.

This place has a really fun vibe although it seems that theft and pick pockets are quite common here-specifically regarding phones. Ive heard from other attendants that it could be an inside job.The security isnt very helpful about it and I understand that this place gets really packed (like shoulder-to-shoulder), but the security isnt readily available and, according to them, the cameras arent doing their job of capturing some necessary footage-such as theft or sexual molestation-due to the amount of people. I was told the cameras are only good for capturing fights.If you come here, please take special care of your belongings. Carry your purse in front of you so nobody, worker or attendee, reaches in. Constantly check your stuff/pockets. If something is stolen, please contact the police. Maybe a proper investigation can begin if people report it to the proper authorities so that the security at this bar is better and the culpable are stopped.I was pick pocketed twice in one night here. Fyi, my purse has a lock on it and the person who did it knew what they were looking for and what they were doing. My friends bag was also rummaged through.Be careful and be safe everyone. Be smart. Get in touch with the proper authorities to help you, the security and manager here will treat it all with nonchalance unfortunately.

Ive come here a couple times against my will. Im not a club person anyways, but I give anything a chance, and at first I did find the scantily clad dancers pretty amusing. Besides this place being expensive, crowded and the music being generic and repetitive, (thats every club in Hollywood so I wont single out the Abbey) the service is what will make me never come back here again. Certain servers here are on some type of elitist high horse and have no respect for people. I dont expect costumer service from a bar, or really from anywhere. The service industry is hard and usually pays minimum wage so I honestly never expect or seek out formalities or cheerfulness from my servers, but just on a personal level I have never come across such rude people as some of their bartenders. My gay friends love the place though & if youre wasted Im sure youll have a great time, but you can have an equally great time anywhere else in WeHo without having to put up with disrespect.

We arrived at 6 and asked for drinks and food. The server was really friendly but for some reason we waited a very long time for water and our drinks. After an hour I had to walk over to the kitchen and ask where our food was BC our server was no where to be found. We eventually got our food and they comped everything. we finished our meal and still didnt see a server. Definitely will not be back.

We were just here for brunch. The food was good, the service was not. The server seemed to be avoiding us. One guy put someone elses food on our table then walked away, we didnt touch the food and just waited until they came and grabbed it. They didnt say anything to us about it. They made a new dish for the people who were supposed to receive it, then we had to sit there for about 20 mins while those guests spoke to 2 servers and a manager while pointing at us and complaining that they wanted fresh plate because it was put on our table. Nobody came to apologize to us, and our server barely came around to serve us. The prices also seemed high, for example $5.50 for an orange juice is a little crazy.

Good experience for the 2nd time. It does get a bit crowded for the after work rush. Crowd is, I hate to say it, typical weho crowd, but some nice diversity is happening slowly. Enjoyable. Good music. Good drinks. Decent bartenders, only drawback, typical weho... Drink prices. When you can buy a bottle for the same price as the drink, something is not right. Just sayin.

Review №106

Was here on the 26 June 2022 for late lunch. Server at the bar next to the bakery (caucasian female, blonde, thirties to fourties) was extremely rude when we asked for water, ignored my friend and refused service. I went over, horrified and she tried to charge me 14 dollars for water, pulled a self entitled dirty look when I asked politely for tap water. Despite us being a group of 4 paying customers who had had both lunch and drinks, and I had persobally tipped her after going upto the bar to buy a drink. Perhaps it was a racially charged incident, in which case we apologise sincerely for not being white.donThe owner was around and clearing tables, I didnt mention anything to him out of human decency although i dont see why one would bother turning upto the job if that is ones attitude when asked politely to serve, as a server. Plenty of unemployment checks to go around.

It is too hot in Chapel. You cant even talk to people because its a mess. Its not enjoyable. The Abbey and it are filled with jerks and the drinks and food are overpriced.

A very lovely club in west hollywood, inviting atmosphere, very trendy.However, they need clearer rules about age limits, they didnt specify it on their website, but apparently it is 21+ on saturdays only, and 18 + on other days. though oddly, they let my 20 year old friend in the door after two bouncers checked her ID, the bartender checked her ID, and then 30 minutes later someone tells her she has to leave. weird.

Im just disappointed. I thought it would be a great idea to have lunch here, being that its the Abby, and I am celibrating my 31st birthay. We got our drinks and waited for our food. 2 couples that came after us sat in front and behind us. After sitting there I noticed they got their food before we did. I very kindly asked the waiter why are they getting their food first. He said let me check. Its just unacceptable to not bring out someones food and not even apologize. When we said can you cancel the order he simply said okay Ill let them know. We where charged for our drinks, which is okay, but they should have at least try to comp our drinks. I honestly feel like they have such high respect from the community, that they dont feel like they need to apologize for their mistake. I understand it might be a great establishment to the community but they should never loose the appreciation of each individual patroon that walks into their establishment. Costumer service and satisfaction should always be priority. Seeing that these patrons is what keeps them in business. I always looked at the Abby with high respect but after going, its just a disappointment. I would call it the mediocre.

**Beware of Pickpockets**!! Four people in my group had their phones stolen out of their purses, and 1 person got their wallet stolen.I reported it to the manager and he asked me to call back the next morning to see if any more phones were turned in, so I did. I also took the managers name down, just in case.The next morning when I called back the guy on the phone acted very suspiciously. He immediately denied that any phones had been turned in, which I knew was a lie - since I had seen these phones the night before. I also mentioned the managers name to this guy, and he denied knowing who that was (?!).All in all, LAPD knows how shady this place is.Be EXTREMELY wary of this place - especially the bar and dance floor.

Pretty much a restaurant beginning of the day, food is typical LA where u kind of get what u pay for. Today I moved tables 3 times for finally someone to acknowledge I was here to spend money and eat. Even a couple sitting next to me that sat around the same time I did actually left. Most of the staff seems to care more about how they look while they prance around than helping customers. This was not so much the case a few years back. Slowly getting worse every time I come here. Them now having a show with a staff that supposedly has worked in the venue for so many years is a lie. Over all goodbye Abbey, u were great before becoming too commercial literally.

I was roofied at this place and got my phone, wallet and sunglasses stolen. The next day when I came to - I saw the thief spent over 7000 dollars using my credit card. I was warned by my co-workers that this sort of thing could happen at the Abbey but never seriously thought it would happen to me. I am from Toronto and wanted to see what the nightlife was like - but it cost me more than I bargained for. Reading the reviews - I see now this is common at the Abbey so I suggest avoiding this place at all costs, especially if youre a solo traveler.

Review №128

This establishment assumes the the guests from out of town knows the difference between the Chapel and the Abbey establishments that is separated by three steps between the two. We had asked to be moved to a different table to the Abbey from the chapel and were told no! This was in The middle of the day with multiple tables empty. Todd the manager on duty lacked empathy instead assumed we knew how an “Olive Garden” operates and explained to my partner and I that the Abbey was strictly a restaurant and that you cannot move when you are dining at a restaurant. I explained to him that we have moved tables in multiple restaurants and that should not be an excuse of why we cannot request to move tables due to the 90 degree sun beating down on the table. No apology given. We spent over 200 dollars to be treated in a way that lacked human empathy in this world of division. I will think 2x before spending money in an establishment that is too proud as to look at the guest requests and be great full for the business during this economic downturn.

Review №129

I gave The Abbey a few shots to impress me and keep me coming back; needless to say that it has done just that.I would describe it as your run of the mill bar with a dance floor and places to sit both inside and outside. The dance floor can get overly crowded and there is usually hardly any space to really shake your groove thing. There is also the possibility of someone bumping you a bit too hard or a butch/stud thinking youre trying to take and/or dance with her girl when all youre trying to do is find some room to let loose and get away. I cant say this is true for the gay men as they have always been sweet towards me! Dont get me wrong though, the crowd is usually friendly (you may spot a few YouTubers).For some reason, I really love their bathrooms! Yes, there is going to be a line for both men and women, but when youre done and you go out to wash your hands, there are polite attendants there to hand you a napkin and you can choose from mints and candies to freshen your breath with. There are even perfumes and colognes to choose from if youve been sweating a bit too hard!The DJ kind of sucks depending on what night you go. Usually I get there and there is techno, house, electronic, etc music playing. I love techno, but it can be overkill when youre trying to shake ya tail feather per-say. Other nights Ive been when theyve played Top40 and I prefer that DJ night over the former.The Abbeys drink prices are pretty standard for the WeHo area. Id say too much when compared to what you can actually buy at Bev-Mo or Total Wine for the same price; REDUNKulous!!Forget all of that, I still LOVE THE ABBEY and Ill continue to visit as long as I visit LA!

The tall black security guard was kinda racist. It does not mean that Im not an American, Im not allowed to get in. He does not accept a government issued id from my country which clearly shows my age. Instead he asked for passport. Why would i bring my passport in a night out of drinking? Hello, Im not going into a plane? I even used these ids in airport,and it was fine. The guard just directly and rudely and conceitedly shouted i am well traveled been to other countries!... and other rude comments totally unnecessary. He even lied, clearly he has not been outside America I am quite sure he has not, with his attitude towards other races. He should be kicked out, he is bad for American tourism. Its my first time not being allowed in an American bar. I great respect for America and its people but this person clearly has no respect to other people. A good thing I was able to get in Rage, Mickeys and Saddle, etc, hopefully the management of Abbey should look into it.

You wont know this but... the Abbey actually serves food. But wait. They serve GOOD food. Yes, I said it.Aside from it being a hot gay destination/bar/lounge, this location is actually a restaurant during the day. I know, crazy, right? Who knew they needed to operate normally to sustain itself? Rent is high in WeHo!I adore their CHICKEN POT PIE, which is a special on Wednesdays, I think. You cannot order this whenever you want unfortunately. Additionally, my colleagues are major fans of their CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD. They absolutely love it.So whenever youre around the area, know that they are open for lunch and will graciously feed your hunger pangs :)

I was here last night and while I was in line at the chapel at the abbey I witnessed a girl on her middle 20s approach the security I think she was trying to convince him of her identity I’m not 100 % sure what the issue was to be honest but she wasn’t acting like I know some drunk people can sometimes that leads to bad situations, when out of nowhere she gets slammed so hard on the cement for no valid reason besides the security thinking he has the authority to do as he pleases when he’s frustrated, I immediately got out of the line and encouraged everyone around me to do so as-well because I would never support an establishment whom we pay their bills treat us like that considering I lost my friend due to someone slamming him in the floor so hard he later on had blood cloths in he’s brain and he is no longer with us I cant and will not stand by this behavior no one should support a business like this that doesn’t care about your presence only your money and if your drunk and wanna debate anything with a bouncer here get ready to get slammed in the floor, your lucky I didn’t have it in video or I would have a lawsuit in my hands!! The big guy and the really tall bearded guy at chapel are unworthy of having that position here considering they violate their authority to mishandle people and that’s a behavior you see a lot here in West Hollywood that’s why I will never come back

I went to this bar last night and I have NEVER been so offended in my life. On the counter at the sinks they have little treats and I got the urge to grab a starburst after washing my hands. As I unwrap my starburst the sassy little bathroom attendant picks up the tip jar on his side and shakes at me as he proceeds to tell me that the treats arent free. 1.) I had already dropped a dollar in the jar on my side (though the womens restroom had no attendant) 2.) The treats are free (tips are welcome) I then let him know I had already put a dollar in the jar and I shook it back at him. He then got the security guard to (I guess) tell on me for shaking the jar. The security guard tells me they work for tips, I told him I had tipped, showed him the jar and he said I didnt see it and then said to put a dollar in the jar. My jaw hit the floor. I then proceeded to grab another dollar and saw I had a five, so as a nice **** you I dropped a five in and let him know I would do everything in my power to (metaphorically) burn the establishment to the ground. I am polite, generous, well mannered, and I ALWAYS tip if there is a jar or a tip line on a receipt. The behavior from these two (attendant/security guard) was so disrespectful I was only hoping to get kicked out (since that seemed to be the threat). After nothing more than a few more sassy looks after dropping the five I walked out. This is how I really feel.

Jesus (our waiter) made our night with his friendly, kind and professional personality. Post-pandemic, the abbey is doing a great job at keeping everyone safe. Thank you Jesus for your positive and service oriented attitude. You are a ROCKSTAR!

I always have at least a good time here, sometimes its absolutely great. Good music, good energy, people in a good mood. And the food is quite well-done.

Bartender was sweet. But I must say the smell is... well... its gross... it reminds me of old cheap beer thats been rotting under the bar.... it was so bad that I had to drink outside. But thats my only complaint

This place back in the mid 00s was awesome now it’s the genre of music that bores me. House music is all good but all night? They don’t have a hip hop night oldies it’s drag shows and house music ugh

Cant go wrong at the Abbey. Best dance floor and patio in WeHo. Lots of room for groups of friends too. Best gay bar in LA.

Cool space but lord have mercy what a complete sh*t show. Lol. I’m not a fan of WeHo normally although I do love me some Stache across the street :)

Distasteful staff that does NOT hesitate to make anyone feel harassed or intimidated. If you take a second to go to the restroom, avoid the free treats on the sink. They will expect a dollar for the starburst in tip form. Find another establishment to go to. This one does not deserve anyones business.

The Abbey is a West Hollywood staple, and its always fun to stop by. The music can be really tecnho/ electronic sometimes, so Im not always into that. Its frequently very crowded with a line down the block, and you have to be careful because a lot of phones get stolen there. If you Uber/Lyft to the Abbey, choose a destination a couple blocks away and walk to save a lot! Theres a surge in price if you go directly somewhere that popular.

Usually try to avoid, its often just a last resort at the end of the night when youre liquored up enough and want to get some serious dancing done. The bachelorette parties are really bad though, a definite turn off.

The Abbey can get super busy, which can detract from ones experience, but the food is always excellent, and if you make nice with your server or bartender, you will rarely be treated better. Plus,the pastry counter is not to be missed.

Huge portions (if youre not used to American size). Amazing selection of alcohols, cocktails and vodka specifically. Staffs were beyond nice. Wifi too!

I had a fun time here during the WeHo pride weekend. The only downside was I got charged an extra $16 for something I never bought and they didnt refund it. So disappointing

My 1st time at the Abbey was not exactly pleasant... The thing that made my night is my server Q was amazing And also the busing staff was very friendly and talkative I will go Back and give it another try is long as I get Q!!!!!!

This place is racist or the employees, walked in on Friday @4:30PmSat down at the bar and waited and waited the bar tender looked at me many times and never assist me with anything I got up from my seat and changed seats to where the bar tender was I ask him if there were any drinks specials at this time, he looked at me with a disgusting look like he didnt want to assist me so I repeated the question again he stated NO With an attitude and walked away, I believe its because I was black and I had on my gym clothes on I had just came from the gym so I sat there for an extra 60 secs to see if he would give me some drink options etc..he didnt and continue to look at me with a disgusting lookSo I got up and left. Wow I cant believe we still live in days like this. Im very disappointed and its unacceptable! To me and my culture.
