Hallowed ground for West Hollywood locals, The Abbey is a beacon of entertainment and social acceptance that transcends its bar and restaurant identity. Once just a coffeehouse with a Gothic theme, The Abbey has remodeled, renovated and morphed to become a focal point of West Hollywood life, by day and by night. Depending on the time, The Abbey can be a simple coffeehouse and bakery or a hot nightclub and bar scene attracting lines of patrons. Building on its coffeehouse base, owner David Cooley slowly expanded to include an outdoor bar, cabana lounge, dance floor and the decadent new Ice Bar, which features cathedral ceilings and a sultry lounge. Be sure to check out the martini offerings here, which include the Butterfinger, the Caramel Apple, the Chocolate Raspberry and the seasonally appropriate Pumpkin Pie. Even with the changes, the Gothic theme that longtimers have come to love remains intact.

The transition from coffee and baked goods by day to nightly dinner and dancing can't be easy, but this place does it with aplomb. Rated "Best Restaurant of 2003" by the city of West Hollywood, the Abbey is known for catering to the late-night dining demands of the local gay community. The food is well-prepared, ranging from fun finger foods like nachos, quesadillas and burgers, to lighter chicken, pasta and vegetarian faire. Whether enjoying a late lunch with friends or gushing down a Martini at last call, the Abbey is a gay nightlife experience that epitomizes LA bar life for millions of residents and visitors.

My girlfriends and i love going to the Abby. We have celebrated the last couple of birthdays there. The bartenders were nice, but it does take a long time to get a drink. The music is great, but my wallet got jacked by a little person while out on the dance floor. That runied my whole nite! In fact, I'm still pissed....I'm still looking for you little man!

The drinks are soooooo goood...hahaha....and The music(goood HOUSE MUSIC, none of that bubble gum music that would hear at any other gay club), the scenery sets the mood for a good Time!!! =) Kudos to Abbey.

originally i tried to be nice about the place, but really go to here next door yeah that's the name of it, about the same in price but much better staff, and worth it

at the Abbey i feel like i'm doing them a favor going in, they really don't care, and reading the comments, i realize i'm not the only one.

if you are new to la, check out the places that truly appreciate your business, like east/west, 11, here, many more out there abbey is just "okay" but yes beautiful but over rated
