Why locals recommend it
I always enjoy my local gay bar. The front room is open on weeknights, and then on the weekends, they open up the back room, and there's a pretty small dance floor bar back there with mirrors around the stage. There's another bar in the back, so you can have a very fun time just dancing there, whether you're gay, whether you're straight, whatever. You’ll probably have to pay a minimal cover—like, five dollars or something—to get back to the dance floor, but the great old school disco and classic dance music are worth it. Plus the mirrors, fog, and poppers play well together.
Tips from locals
Lively, gay-friendly bar with an unpretentious vibe, tiny dance floor & well-stocked jukebox.
Silver Lake's Akbar is technically a gay bar, but this is where cool people with good vibrations come to enjoy each others company regardless of sexuality. If the term "pansexual" applied to a bar, Akbar would be it. Fridays and Saturdays are the best nights here. There are two rooms, the front room has a juke box and long bar. The side room is where weekly and monthly parties take place, it has a DJ booth, dance floor, and its own bar. Parties in this room range from an electronic dance party called The Sharper Image; a hedonistic disco party called Full Frontal Disco; a queer performance art show called Planet Queer; a standup comedy night called Drunk on Stage, etc.
