Small place but you'll find all the hip people here. There's are two small bar areas with cheap drinks , and then a square dance floor . Check the website for the theme of the night.

Akbar is intimate , casual , friendly , no-frills, and cheap . It's like a gay Cheers—everybody knows your name, from the bartender to the door man to the DJ . Read more

AW: gay bar , dive bar , neighborhood bar , dance bar , and one of SL's most fun bars . Epic DJ nights but also a very chill place to drink cheap , strong drinks on a Sunday night.

Derek Jones

A brilliant mixture of gays, hipsters , and gay hipsters . Dark and crowded ambiance with a jukebox up front and DJ at the dance floor in the back area.

Michael Morgan

One of my favorite gay bars in LA ! Nice bartenders , good drinks that aren’t expensive , fun dance floor , and a chill area with seating.

Brandon H

Best gay bar on the east side. Friendly . Intimate and full of great people from the non weho crowd. Grab a drink and dance in the back room.

Adam Silver

Decent drinks, chill crowd, crabby bartenders . Don't dare move the bar stools or you will get a dose of LA 'tude #relaxbrah

Chris L

Back lounge area for a kiki. Dance floor option for a shimmy. Drink specials are grand. People are usually nice.

Kevin Hart

Woof. Smells like moldy cheese on one side. Attracts the hipster gay crowd and mostly everyone looks the same there. BUT my bartender bud Mike is the man.

Jathan McCollum

FYI the men's bathroom has no door. So like if you have to poo, plan ahead. Or seize the opportunity to show off your goods. You've been warned. Or whatever. Man flesh.

Scott Zolnierczyk

If you want a great time with friends. Gay or Straight, hit up Akbar!! A little expensive drink wise, but Super fun atmosphere .

Michael MacFarland

Try it on the weekdays or before 8 on the weekends for a great chill place to hang with friends.

This used to be a lazy watering hole, now it's kind of a club (some nights). Tip well and have fun!
