This is a great bar with a great atmosphere. I really enjoyed my visit here and as a regular visitor to LA at the moment I will definitely be paying more visits when I can. The staff are friendly the music is good and so are the drinks.

Right in the center of WeHo (West Hollywood), it looks regal and stately from the outside. The Abbey has a wonderful outside patio that is popular is good weather. The drinks are large and full of booze, but they are pricey. The waiters and bartenders are cute and friendly. The Abbey knows how to create that fun, lively atmosphere that... More

This restaurant bar is overrated because it has no control over how many people are in there, it's crowded and stuffy and people push you all night. It's great for the tourist nevertheless it's not anything to die for. The crowd is not as attractive as you think it would be and the bartenders can be rude. The overall experience... More

This place is awesome. For lunch there is a mixed crowd, lunch / brunch options and great and the bloody mary's are the best i have ever tasted. at night things ramp up a few levels but they manage to retain a friendly easy going vibe. no attitude here. just good times.

My daughter and I came out to California to look at Graduate Schools in Los Angeles and stopped at this place for breakfast. She told me how a lot of famous people she likes have been there, so she wanted to experience it too. Let's just say, I was not disappointed. The server we had was hilarious & a sweetheart.... More

We loved the Abbey, the place, the atmosphere, the food, the cakes, the drinks...I'm still missing the Yardbird sandwich and apple pie now!! Get dessert here if it's all you get! This place has such a lovely atmosphere and feel about it, we struggled to go anywhere else. The service was a bit lacking at times, we had one great... More

My boyfriend and I discovered The Abbey last week while on holiday in LA. The atmosphere was great, barmen extremely attractive (if only I wasn't in a long term relationship) and the food was the best I have tasted for a long time- definitely one of the best places to eat in LA. Sure, it may be a little pricey... More

I live very close to the Abbey and have been there many times. I absolutely agree that the prices are outrageous ($14 for a cosmo), but it is LA and the drinks are large. Usually, I can handle no more than two (if I want to remember the rest of the night). That being said, whenever we take an out... More
