the abbey

worst night of my life. i had the worst night of my life at the abbey. during the evening my gf's and i had our mobile phone stolen at the abby, when i reported it the weho police said it was a common problem at the abbey.

as the evening went on my friend who is epileptic went missing, when i approached the bouncers, i told them my phone was stolen and i couldn't get a hold of my friend who is epileptic, she had been missing for a couple of hours. their reply was it isn't our problem, i started to cry and beg for help and that was a sign for them to handcuff and man handle me, i am bruised all over thumb, hand, wrist and legs, i can't bend my thumb and it is painful to move. i can't believe they would treat a person in need of help in this way, i am completely disappoint with theabbeyand will never return.

best kept secret!. i could go back to theabbeyover and over again- the food is that good! it's a small place with so much attitude. it's vivacious atmosphere makes you feel so welcome. the option to substitute a portabella mushroom cap in for a beef patty in all of there burgers is awesome. not to mention the fries and homemade chips are to die for. probably my favorite place to eat at in providence thus far.

not cheap, but oh-so-good!. theabbeyis one of my favorites when visiting la, whether it's to eat, or just drink. the crowd is always fun and entertaining, and i think the atmosphere is amazing. the only downside to theabbeyis the cost; the food isn't cheap, and drinks are even more expensive. however, for a person like me who only makes it there once a year, it's all worth it.

unfortunately, i didn't get to party there this time, (no drinking took place) as we only had a lunch. from what i remember of the drinks in past times though, they're always good.

for lunch i had a reuben sandwich. it was a-maz-ing. the bread must've been grilled, because it was slightly crunchy and had a buttery taste. the meat (which was pastrami, not corned beef, and a nice change) was piled high and super tender. it was slightly more chopped than made with slices. there was also plenty of swiss on it, but now that i think about it i don't remember much for sauce. the sandwich itself was so good, however, that it didn't matter. it was served with fries that were both flavorful and crispy. the meal was $14, which may seem high, but considering how good it was i had zero problems paying this.

service was good. our drinks never went empty and he came back often.

try out this hot spot in west hollywood (for dinner or drinks) for sure!

if you've ever been to theabbeyyou know it's a scene. absurdly in-shape bartenders in tight tank tops, ridiculously good cocktails (love the raspberry mojito - albeit pricey), and a serious dance-a-thon at night. their food is even pretty darned good, especially brunch - just wish they had bottomless mimosas too! as with most sbe owned spots - the place tends to be rather $$$. but luckily, they have a kick-ass happy hour mon-fri from 4-7pm where everything is just five bucks. theabbeyhappy hour mon-fri, 4-7pm food deals: $5abbeynachos, quesadillas, mac n'cheese, chicken tenders, onion rings, buffalo wings, & more booze deals: $5 martinis, wells, beers, wine, caiparinhas, and mojitos (even the raspberry!!!) . theabbeywas voted the best gay bar in the world by mtv and it's obvious why - it is always busy, it is always fun, the food is always good, and the drinks are alway
