The Abbey is also great because it is only a 5-10 minute walk (or drive, depending) to LOTS of fun sightseeing venues - Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills, Melrose, etc.įrom somone born and raised in LA - here are some don't miss spots: Right around the corner on Santa Monica blvd, there is a great restaurant called Cafe L'Etoile that we love - along with a ton of other restaurants and bars as the others have mentioned. Everyone is nice, friendly and beautiful - and there is a great mix of LGBT and straight people there - you won't feel uncomfortable in the least bit.
Regardless of the time you go - breakfast/brunch, afternoon cocktails after sightseeing, or for late night partying - it is always fun and great for people watching. You will love, love, LOVE the Abbey! We live in LA and go there almost weekly.
