It can get a little crowded but once they open up the second floor, there. So far, The Wyman Bar is Downtown LA’s fanciest bar opening of 2022, and the only one housed in a former Blade Runner set piece.
The beer/shot combo is always worth the price. To its credit though, the Abbey famously announced in 2012 that it would ban bachelorette parties until marriage equality was achieved, which helped to shore up its gay street cred among some of the faithful who felt it had overextended itself in its efforts to be hetero-friendly. Been here a couple times with friends and it's definitely one of our favorites here in DT.
If there’s a downside to the Abbey it’s actually the bar’s success: Not so very long ago, it was the nucleus of gay life in West Hollywood, but as its popularity has grown, increasingly the crowd-particularly at night-seems to be made up of tourists. The Broadway Corridor, which stretches along Broadway between Belmont Shore and the East Village area of Downtown Long Beach, has a smattering of gay bars conveniently lined up as a built-in pub. The drinks at this West Hollywood stalwart are notoriously strong (albeit pricey) and the upscale, Gothic-meets-the-Mediterranean indoor/outdoor spaces, plentiful cabanas and hunky bartenders are all aesthetically satisfying. AUTHENTIC LATIN AMERICAN GAY BAR DTLA OPEN DAYLY Monday - Saturday 9:00 pm to 2:00 am. 131 E 6th Street, Downtown Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California 90014, USA.
The Abbey is annually voted one of the world’s best gay bars, which explains the long lines on the weekends to get into this once-humble coffee house-which now boasts four full bars and five times the amount of real estate it originally occupied.
