It's the kind of place that exists for so many gays to come and gather and feel comfortable. I was never a big club goer. In fact, I'm now a parent, and appreciate how they welcome families like mine on the weekends during the day. It's a whole other vibe. During the day, it's more like a restaurant and cafe. My kids loved their charcuterie board and sandwiches. Late a night, things can get wild. I've had several friend targeted here getting their iPhones and wallets stolen. Just be smart. For some reason, the Abbey seems like a hot spot for crime. Either leave the wallets at home or keep your valuables hidden away. I've never had an issue but it's a real problem if you're not careful.

We still laugh about our crazy antics in the cabanas that used to be in the back. We don't come as often anymore because the vibe is a bit different. I miss the frozen Apple Martinis but I am glad the Berry Martini is still on the menu. (Two of those and you won't remember your name.) It's a beautiful venue with gothic accents and a lovely patio that is perfect for chilling on a sunny day. The food here is good, especially the drool worthy desserts, and you're guaranteed to have fun at Drag Brunch. They also have great DJ's that spin some delectable tunes that will make you wanna shake that groove thang. The Abbey is still a happening place. There's something going on every night like Ru-Paul's Drag Race viewing parties and late night Drag shows. I still have love for The Abbey, I just miss the old days

Bar Lubitsch is one of those true LA gems that you only appreciate once you step inside. I came out…read moreto see a DJ friend perform (she sings too, and she's incredible), alongside another longtime LA musician I first saw back in 2018. It ended up being the perfect venue for a night of live local talent--intimate, moody, and full of character. The back room where the artists play? I was obsessed. The paint peeling from the burgundy ceiling and deep red walls in that perfectly imperfect way that tells you this place has history. Wallpaper panels edging the ceiling, cozy café tables mixed with booth-style benches and chaise lounge seating--it felt like an artsy little hideaway where musicians can actually breathe and audiences can really listen. Warm lighting, sexy shadows, and even a tiny bar tucked in back for busy nights. I loved the whole atmosphere. Up front, the full bar is its own vibe--neighborhood-bar energy but with cocktails that taste elevated. I had a Moscow Mule and a Cucumber Gimlet, and both were excellent. The fact that they only use fresh, organic fruit and juice really comes through. Crisp, bright, clean flavors. My bartender was super chill and spot-on with recommendations, which I always appreciate--I love when I can lean on someone's expertise and they absolutely nail it. Even the person checking me in for the performance was great--friendly, helpful, happy I was excited to support local artists. The whole staff just made the night feel easy. I genuinely hope I have another friend perform here, but honestly I'd come back regardless. I love high-end venues as much as anyone, but there is something so special about places like this--spaces with a little wear, a little history, a lot of soul, and a strong commitment to the artists who pass through. This is the kind of spot that keeps the LA creative scene alive.

Apparently promoters ask everyone to go and saw groups friends get broken up. I went with a friend who had this pass so it was somewhat easier to get in. The club does trend super young though as there were table where people were celebrating their 21st. But if you're into electronic music/djs they do get some artists you may have heard about.

This has been an LA spot for decades... literally!…read more I have been here several times over the years and what I appreciate is that this place knows how to evolve with the times, from originally opening up as the place to go to on the strip when I was in college to a networking spot when I was in business school and even to 2025 where they now have a fun and festive Mariah Carey Holiday Bar for the holidays. 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.

Honestly, such a great way to keep the party going after brunch. My only gripe is I wish they had better indoor seating because I wasn't a fan of sitting outside. Would absolutely do it again.

Extremely difficult to get on guest list and the promoters are selective; several of them asked for my ig and my friends' ig to see what we looked like. Also, doorman who looked like an angry Keanu Reeves will probably keep you waiting an hour and let in 20 VS models before he gives you the okay to step in. That's if he even lets you in.
