Who wants to wait in line for another bar when Mother Lode has all the go-go boys and inexpensive drinks you need? When it comes down to it, Mother Lode is great because it’s cheap and easy, a great place to get a cheap stiff one when you’re feeling thirsty (all puns intended). With nights like “Invade the Hole” every Tuesday, it should go without saying that Mother Lode is one of the most delightfully sleazy bars in WeHo (perhaps only bested by Fubar). Girl Bar happens every Wednesday night at the Abbey. With no cover charge, cocktail specials and $3 tacos, Girl Bar is more than just a great lesbian-friendly night in L.A.-it’s a great night out, period. Though we’ll forever miss the heyday of Here’s Truck Stop nights, Girl Bar’s scantily clad go-go girls soften the blow. Every Wednesday night, girls and their pals get down to a rotating cast of DJs playing house, pop, mashups and more. The Abbey is located at 692 North Robertson Boulevard.Įven though this happens at the Abbey, it’s worth mentioning on its own, given the disappointing lack of girl nights (and utter lack of girl bars) in the city. For instance: How many other gay bars do you know that serve brunch? That’s what we thought. Though some of us more jaded gay Angelenos will scoff at the Abbey’s faux-fancy décor and normie vibes, you can’t deny it’s got a lot going for it. And The Abbey’s probably the most straight-friendly gay bar around (hello, straight bartenders and bachelorette parties).

The food is meh, but it’s nice that it’s there-he or she who hasn’t drunkenly scarfed down Abbey garlic fries hasn’t had the full experience. It’s huge, offering plenty of space for the same group of friends to dance to top 40, lounge on the patio or pretty-people watch.
There’s usually no cover charge, and let’s be honest, they could be charging one with how popular it is.
