The Abbey Description:
The Abbey started in 1991 as a small coffeehouse across the street from its present location. It became so popular that it expanded to over 16,000 square feet, and now features four indoor and outdoor bars, dining spaces and even a pastry shop. Before the SBE group (Katsuya, XIV, The Bazaar/SLS) took over the trendy, chic club, the food was the last reason you would come to what was ground zero for the gay social scene in West Hollywood. But now the kitchen is creating a simple, fresh and tasty menu just perfect for this ultra-vibrant venue. Depending on how much you want to be part of the action, you can dine in the middle of it, or at the more private booths. There is continuous service from 9 a.m. until midnight, with breakfast until 2 p.m. in which eggs come in many variations along with classics like french toast and oatmeal. Lunch items start at 10:30 a.m., with salads (the best choice being the Cobb), calamari, homemade hummus, macaroni and cheese, Buffalo wings and soups. After 2 p.m., the food becomes more substantial with a grilled ahi burger, Philly cheesesteak sandwich, fettuccine Alfredo, grilled Atlantic salmon and grilled Piedmontese skirt steak. But there are a few much-haves: sliders, made of Angus beef and served on warm pretzel rolls with caramelized onions (some of the best we've ever had); tomato and roasted garlic soup accompanying a grilled cheese sandwich; and monster nachos featuring all the toppings you can imagine. There are also some secret weapons (at least before we wrote the review) that are not on the menu, like tuna tartare to pair with the homemade delicious potato chips and the fish tacos (order more to take home). Choose what you're craving among the many dessert choices, including cakes, cheesecakes, pies and cookies. Of course, we have to mention that there a couple of hundred different cocktails available! Why so many? There can be 35 bartenders working on a busy night, so, among them, they have created 40 versions of mojitos. Between the design and layout of the rooms, the food, the drinks, and the electric atmosphere, The Abbey is definitely one of the best bars in the world, and is becoming a Los Angeles landmark.
