THE WORLD’S GREATEST GAY BAR – West Hollywood
Come and join your friends at The Abbey, welcoming you to a weekend of Pride celebrations! Sip on delicious cocktails, dance the night away to our great music selection, and enjoy a special Pride menu. Celebrating PRIDE is all about having a great time with friends and family!
After nearly three decades in the business — an achievement in any industry but a unicorn-level rarity in the dining and nightlife scene — The Abbey is more than a dance club or restaurant. It’s a community center, albeit one with sexy, barely clad dancers, 10-oz apple martinis, and magical memories.
The weekly calendar includes Brunch Service on Saturdays, All That ’90s on Tuesdays, Ash WeHo, Kink Thursdays, and Sinful Fridays. The most popular day remains Sunday Funday when locals start showing up for brunch. By mid-afternoon, there’s a line snaking down the block that’d make you think it’s on Saturday night.
On a typical weekday at The Abbey, you’ll see parents with baby strollers coming from the park next door and guys in tank tops after a workout. That segues into the lunch crowd, which eventually becomes the happy hour and dinner crowd. Around 9 p.m., the dancers — both guys and girls — come out.
THE ABBEY PRIDE WEEKEND
THE OWNER
David Cooley, hailing from Ohio and armed with a degree in Hotel Management from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, packed up and moved out to Los Angeles in 1981. Pursuing a new career in finance, Cooley was a stockbroker for two years before becoming a vice president at Wells Fargo Bank.
Shortly thereafter in 1991, Cooley set out on his own and invested in a small, discreet space in West Hollywood that he renovated into a coffeehouse called The Abbey. After nearly twenty-five years and five expansions, The Abbey is more than 14,000 square feet and known as the Best Gay Bar in the World, having won the award twice from Logo.
