The Scene – Step in and you feel like you've entered a tunnel, with the wooden bar that runs 30 feet back, through a wall partition and into the spacious back room. As in a casino, it's difficult to keep track of the time, with the only outside light coming from a small window up front, and numerous diversions including a TV (sometimes showing Japanese anime), two pinball machines, a pool table and jukebox. – – The Draw – The Abbey has a solid selection of liquor and seven beers on tap, which are a buck off during happy hour (Monday through Friday, 3pm to 8pm).

Can't go wrong here
by leahatespam at Citysearch
As long as you're not some high maintenance yuppie snob there's a lot to like about this place. Movies, good music, a pool table, and cheap drinks, especially at happy hour. What's not to love?
- Pros: Happy Hour, Pool Table, Movies
- Cons: no yuppies, it breaks my heart, oh well

A group of friends had a get-together here on a Sunday night and the crowd was really quite amazing. Stuffed full of attractive, friendly guys -- a refreshing change from the typical men you run. I did notice that some straight couples seemed a little put off (and in fact, some just decided not to come in) after they noticed the place was filled with gay boys.
- Pros: Friendly crowd, Cool area

Let Me Use The JukeBox!
by sleiss99 at Citysearch
The Abbey would be a great neighborhood bar - and was not too long ago - until they posted that horrible sign on the jukebox that reads "no jukebox after 10:30pm". The bartenders play music of their own choosing and they always choose crap. It's a good jukebox and the patrons should be allowed to choose the music they want to listen to.
- Pros: Good Crowd, Fair Prices
- Cons: No Jukebox aftr 10:30
