The bar has expanded since here lounge closed and now there is an annex called chapel which seems to always be crowded. I cannot speak about food as I've not eaten here in years but I'm sure it's good quality. The dance music and Monday shows are a hit and there is usually wait to get in
The Chapel bartenders are rude and inconsiderate! You know, us gay people are sooooo lucky to have the straight guys be our bartender s! Never going back! If you want to support the gay community in Los Angeles nor should you! Please!
ALWAYS A FREE COVER ! ALWAYS A GOOD TIME! EVERY TIME I COME TO WEHO I ALWAYS START MY NIGHT HERE AND THEN PLAN IT OUT!
I was here a week ago and my phone and wallet were stolen out of my bag. I was completely sober and I now see this is a common trend at this place. I asked all of the bartenders and security but no one could care less. It s really sad that this place is now becoming known as a place to get robbed. Will not be coming back!
You won't 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 you're around the area, know that they are open for lunch and will graciously feed your hunger pangs :)
Worth a try in West Hollywood neighborhood! The ambiance is nice.
It is super nice, spacious, very beautiful with excellent attention and a diverse and colorful environment. It is excellent to go in a group. It has parking for hours but nearby there is public parking. You can eat and drink, It is not extremely expensive and you can dance in a very pleasant atmosphere.
The club is nice but thy have worst customer service! Very very rude security guys, disrespectful and impolite
Food was nice. The fried chicken was juicy and tasty. I missed a sauce to make the dish complete. The virgin bloody Mary was great. The atmosphere of the abbey with the gentle warmth of the sun is wonderful.
Great place for a night out for drinks, or food during the day.
food: A variety of food on offer, finger food for groups, and some meals for non sharing.
drinks: Lots of variety of alcoholic drinks.
service: Good service, accommodating staff.
environment: Lots of seating indoors and out, loud music, pool table area, girl and guy dancers that can climb up the pipes.
One of the most popular spots for a night out in West Hollywood, really enjoyed the vibe.
Cool, large and spacious bar
Recommended in fumes
So much party going on at this place its amazing. Drinks are strong but a little pricy. Try the berry mojitos, you won't regret it. If you get the drunk munchies FRIES!
Came here for Valentine's brunch with the hubby. Great service and atmosphere. Our waiter Mr. Figeroua was wonderful, attentive, and charming. The owner or manager also approached us and thanked us for choosing the abbey to celebrate the day, which to me showed great leadership and integrity. We felt every welcomed. Would recommend to anyone for brunch.
Door guys always nice maybe lil crowded but no cover yaaas
I had the best time at the abbey...the best. And everything you have heard is true. Its the most fun friendly club in LA. From Tamara to Nate the stars of the bar! The service is exceptional. The food fantastic. I had the tomatoes/cucumber salad. With goat cheese. Mmmmm. Was terrific! Also the wings! David Cooley knows what he's doing and he has a goldmine! I will frequent this place... great for large groups or if you are by yourself.. xoxx
This place is always a party and drinks prices are reasonable
Great place, awesome music, option for food/bottle service is always a plus. Saturday's is so packed it is hard to walk around even though it is a huge club. 4 stars because the time it takes to get drinks is hella long, and slightly expensive. Pre-game drink prior and arrive early to get parking or you'll walk a ways lol. Defiantly will return.
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 comp'ed everything. we finished our meal and still didn't see a server. Definitely will not be back.
Love my apartment, although I hate not being able to find parking after a long day at work parking on the street sucks but today I got a call from Janina offering me a garage for rent which is the best news ever!! Thanks Janina, my nights will now be spent relaxing after work instead of looking for parking.
Always a positive and chic place too go for great food and serene location.
As long as this bar's / nightclub Social media person dori Scottie is there I give this place a rating of 1 Star last week monday july 30th 2018 me & some friends attended the weekly dragshow & She is very nasty very rude she was hollering and yelling through a performance at me & My friends telling us we cant sit at a specific spot then we didnt move cause we said she is not security she then called another worker over and told the worker to move us the worker just simply told us the spot was reserved which is all she could have said and we would have politely moved she has a terrible attitude what led us to coming out to see the dragshow live in person is because she blocked me and my friends from the abbey's instagram live feed for no reason at all were hispanics and she goes through the viewers and blocks specific viewers which seems like racism to me which she streams the drag shows live and doesnt even do that professionally she talks through certain girls performances makes weird sounds during their performances she just needs to be more professional she plays favortism with some of the girls she has her favorites the abbey needs a new social media controller cause her streaming and posting skills has fell off bad she also lets a customer's / guest review on her upset her & run her off the abbey's official platforms she stops recording the shows change the order how she record the shows post only certain girls performances on the abbey's social media etc.. and this bar/nightclub dont take these reviews serious very unprofessional establishment!!
I'm just disappointed. I thought it would be a great idea to have lunch here, being that it's 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. It's just unacceptable to not bring out someone's food and not even apologize. When we said can you cancel the order he simply said "okay I'll 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 don't 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, it's just a disappointment. I would call it the mediocre.
Faced racism issues. Didnt let me and my friend in, among the group of 6. Other 4 were let in. Highly Disappointing!
The music was awesome, the people were amazing. It was lit af. Danced a whole lot here
Nice place when not too crowded. Fun seasonal drink menu
I always have at least a good time here, sometimes it's absolutely great. Good music, good energy, people in a good mood.
great fun, great dancing, great drinks, great food, great atmosphere. Sexuality friendly straight or gay. Love this place.
Our go to place for over 30 years. The best Moscow Mule ever made. Their secret ingredient makes the difference. You can't miss coming here. The new chef is creating incredible new foods. The new pastries are fantastic.
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 it's nice to come here to eat during the day and enjoy a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
Fun gay bar, a reference in the city. The drinks are well charged and the music is mainly electronic. The only bad thing is that it closes at 2 in the morning.
This review is strictly related to The Abbey as a nightclub/entertainment venue as I have not had the food as yet.
Extremely welcoming patrons and staff, great music and strong drinks. I never cease to have a good time while I'm here!

Horrible experience. They withhold your credit card and Id and treat you as a thief and that you might runaway. Disgusted. Also, appetizer and the main course came at the same time. What's the meaning of the appetizer? Very disappointed.
Used to be a regular at the abbey. It has become like any other place in LA. They do not respect their customers. Had an employee falsely claim the $40 I had clearly dropped was hers (even when security guard let me know it had fallen out my bag), meanwhile staff attempted to gaslight me for 40 minutes - all on tape. We had a table and were already spending a ton for a friend's birthday.... No reason to ruin that with pettiness... but staff was unwiling to address me directly #noshame #avoidant #lostone
Thank you Alexa Reyes for being the best VIP Hostess and for resolving my bill issue immediately. My birthday party wouldn't have been as successful without your professionalism, accuracy and quick email responses to my needs. Also, thank you to the Abbey / manager for always being the best place to bring friends and celebrating life.
I met my husband here 15 years ago and will never forget The Abbey. This is still the best spot in weho!
Who does not love the Abbey? It's an institution! Huge space, various bars within a bar. Excellent drinks and food. My favorite is white chocolate martini. Yes you might hear that it is a "gay" bar, but please do not let this stop you from visiting this wonderful bar. I am not gay and enjoy every visit and have a wonderful time talking with everyone.
A very lovely club in west hollywood, inviting atmosphere, very trendy.
However, they need clearer rules about age limits, they didn't 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.
A great place to hang out with your friends. Fantastic vibe, tasty food, good drinks, and some sexy shows. You have to try the Big Ole Wet Burrito and the Chicken Picatta. Strongly recommendable.
A long time favorite in n the neighborhood. Great food and service
I always have a great time when I get the chance to come down to the abbey. Me and my girlfriend Jennifer have been going there for years. Great music great drinks great service and all around the best place to unwind.
Just because you re cute doesn t mean you should be a bartender. The menu looks good, but damn your drinks are horrible.
Discovered the merit of a friend patronized with pleasure on the evenings that we remained in Los Angeles entertaining intriguing
Always an edge of danger, cover your cocktails with a napkin, strong and open to rufis otherwise. Go go boys above average.
Good food good social place to hang with the weho crowd. Tolerant mostly friendly place.
For food I had the Cobb salad, which is an American staple and was enormous! A really nice salad that was fresh and for a good price! We went drinking and clubbing here a few times, really good party scene on the weekend!
Good place to get out that follows Covid-19 guidelines. We enjoyed a couple of the as WY with our drinks
No privacy! They share unwanted pictures of guests to other websites. Shame on them.
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
Up scale club for LGBT community. I think it's the best in West Hollywood. Music and drinks are awesome!
entered near nine, it wasn't busy. the staff was friendly and sociable. it has a cool interior.
Much love for the Abbey.
Iconic Weho bar. Its been around for a long time and every time I come here I have a blast. Great place, friendly crowd
Had such a blast here! The people were so friendly, the music was good and the vibe was awesome!
Read some other reviews.. I admit I had a rude bartender that I think overcharged us, so we went to another bartender afterwards. They should put these bartenders in check to keep the good vibes going!
I know you like 25 years ago form Halloween .. (Remember)and I met your family. I m from SoBe!!!!
Beautiful, Breathe taking Restaurant!... And, Great Food. Well worth the weekend wait, nonetheless they move Supa Fast to get you seated and, taken care of!...
I love a good gay bar, it's basically like having a sign out front reading "everybody's nice in here." Atmosphere is so dope and the drinks are strong. Need to go back for brunch, I haven't eaten here but the food looks pretty solid.
The Abbey is awesome. I'm a straight female and this is a well known gay club that draws a mixed crowd. The people were awesome, walking into this place feels like stepping into another world where there are no rules as to who you can or can't be. I loved the decor and I had so much fun, The Abbey provided many memories for what started out as just another cinco de mayo lol
This is a glorified tourist attraction (with a troubled 'racial' problem). It's not even (officially) gay-owned.
Went here for brunch with friends and had thee most amazing time! Their hospitality is one for the books. I believe his name was Chris, but he took our reservation from the day before. The day of, he came up to me and introduced himself and with a hug! He asked about our service and if we enjoyed ourselves. Our server was Gabe, and he was suuper friendly and he really took care of us! The food was good, and the drinks were SUPERB. I left feeling quite nice. The drag show was also very entertaining! Perfect setting, as the weather was fab. Will return!
It s a fun place Into grab a drink, I also had a crab cake bendict there in a Sunday and it was good!
The Abbey is my favorite place in L.A. The food is fine, the service is okay, patrons are trendy, music is catchy, and the interior is awesome. Can t wait to go back here!
The manager on duty (1-16-2020 4:00pm) questioned what I was doing there as I waited for my uber. #you'renotthat bougiebitch.
