The Abbey has been a popular place for my family and I to attend for decades. We stopped in today,…read morea Sunday, for lunch. We easily found a place to sit on the shaded outdoor dining area, all the time people were going inside the adjacent dining and dancing area for one of the Abbey's famous drag shows. I ordered the guacamole bacon cheeseburger with fries and my guest had the Philly Cheesesteak. My burger was cooked perfectly and looked great. The fries were fair, nothing to write home about. My guest loved his Philly Cheesesteak and it brought memories of the last time he ordered one more than a decade earlier. It's only fair that I mention the conduct of one of thr employees who appears to be a host. There was an ethnic couple (probably middle eastern) siting at the table next to us, dining and enjoying their meal, when this employee approached them and singled them out because of their ethnicity. He fawned all over them, loudly, apparently trying to be welcoming, all the while addressing them as "you people" and "we are open to people like you dropping in for a gold time." While he clearly wanted to be nice, he came off as condescending and racists and was very annoying to my guest and me and people at another table who muttered "what an idiot." On the positive sign the middle eastern couple didn't appear to be annoyed but, still, that's not the way first time guests should be addressed. We dropped in on the drag show after lunch but all seats were taken so we decided not to stand in the corner and watch. Getting smart, especially a good seat means arriving about an hour before the show. Today's show began at 1:30 pm. There are nearby parking lots, pricy and neighborhood parking if one can tolerate a moderate walk. The Abbey is an ice place to go, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Dining is pretty good and their menu is not big. But they still have a nice variety of dishes.

I believe there was a drag show that night, not 100% sure; either way, you know the vibes. It's still WeHo's beloved gayest gay bar today. $40.00 was spent on 2 drinks, which is reasonable if you need a drink to get the edge off. Both service and pricing are standard for Weho nightlife. There's a DJ, men dancing on stage, the whole nine. There is also outdoor seating, and parking is always a nightmare. This isn't a place you stumble upon; planning a visit is a must. ;)

Drinks and food are what you expect in LA. expensive. But service from bartenders is fast (once you can get in!) and they are friendly. Valet at the hotel or several lots in the area. Meters if you can find them. But watch out for those pesky signs!

Vibes and layout was MC all the way. The pre purchase ticket came with the option of only two drinks which I wish the whole cocktail menu was available. Otherwise the cocktails were okay, nothing amazing and definitely not worth the price. There was also limited seating-- I wish they provided more seating options to the tickets sold. The karaoke booth was also a great idea but the music in the head phones was different than what was playing in the actual booth so made it confusing. Also the $9.99 price for two songs was definitely a money grab and didn't understand the booth so we lost out on one song. Overall, fun idea but could have been better.

The lighting makes everyone look like they have a secret. The chandeliers feel like they're judging you -- in a chic way. Favorite item? The caviar service. Because if you're going to dip your toe into a crimson velvet fever dream, you might as well go full villain-mode. Salty, luxurious, unapologetic. It's not a snack. It's a statement. Even in a short visit, you feel the vibe: dramatic, over-the-top, theatrical in the best Melrose way possible. I was in. I absorbed the energy. I left slightly dazzled and mildly confused -- which means it worked.

Over the years, I have seen a few bands play there, and the sound in that small, dark room is always incredibly loud and intense. Johnny Depp originally helped open the venue in 1993, turning it into a massive hangout spot for rock stars and Hollywood actors almost overnight. Huge legends like Tom Petty and Johnny Cash have played on that exact stage, which gives the whole place a really iconic feel. Stepping inside still feels like you are experiencing a raw, authentic piece of Los Angeles music history.

It is a great intimate venue with lots of history and great sound. We parked about a half mile away and a public lot by the West Hollywood library, parking was only 12 bucks and it was a nice short walk to the venue and no traffic getting g out when we left the show. The event was sold out, and we got there right when doors opened. The line out front was not too long and security kept everybody moving really quick. Full bar and food inside. The main room is tiny, so anywhere you stand you will have a great view of the performers. I definitely plan to come back to see another show here, wish I had caught shows here in the past...
