User Reviews for The Abbey

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

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

3 Star Rating: Average

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

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Super friendly bartenders. Good happy-hour specials. Definitely the best hang-out/meet friends bar in Williamsburg. Another plus: Sundays are gay, and it's always gay-friendly. If you have no other agenda besides talking and drinking, this is the place.
