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 you're trying to take and/or dance with her girl when all you're trying to do is find some room to let loose and get away. I can't say this is true for the gay men as they have always been sweet towards me! Don't 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 you're 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 you've 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 you're trying to "shake ya tail feather" per-say. Other nights I've been when they've played Top40 and I prefer that DJ night over the former.

The Abbey's drink prices are pretty standard for the WeHo area. I'd 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 I'll continue to visit as long as I visit LA!
