WATERY HOLES:
We love the SUBTLE rip off from the old Coppertone ad!!
We'll refrain from being our bitchy selves and calling The Abbey what we usually call it: The Scabbey, for this post....
Oh we're not just prejudice to The Scabbey, we call Mother Lode, Another Load; Trunks is Sunks (cuz the evening must be at such a low and crappy that you sunk to step foot in there); Fiesta Cantina (our favorite place, FOR REALS) is Infested Cantina; FUBAR is RUDEBAR; Rage is Enrage with all the twinks' attitudes; Akbar is Crapbar. Enough.....it's all in fun... really, no really. FOR REALS. In fun. We don't mean it...Stop. We kid at those names. Okay, well, maybe not, really. STOP.
It's been twenty years since David Cooley opened his little coffee shop on Robertson. What started out as 1,000 square feet is now 15,000 square feet of FAKE.
He should have just saved all that ca$h and bought a lunchwagon/cart to pander the coffee on the street corner along with the HOs on SaMo. Coffee and cock. One stop shop......Well, two stops, if you want the tranny hooker at the other end of the corner....
Back to The Abbey.
The epicenter/ground zero of gay nightlife in WeHo. To some.....
Cooley is even looking to brand the concept of The Abbey and the name with locations in other cities.
We feel there is the one and the only, The Abbey-- that can't be replicated or reproduced. And really, WHY would you inflect that on others and the city?......
You can only find that shallow, shady look-at-you-up-and-down-to-see-what-labels-you-have-on and dismissive attitude in one original spot, The Abbey.... oh and at HERE lounge.....
