Akbar

Akbar blurs the line between gay bar and, uh, non-gay bar more thoroughly than any other bar in L.A. Even since it opened its doors, variations of this conversation have been happening:

So, what'd'you do Saturday?

Went to this cool bar on Sunset, Akbar or something.

You know that's a gay bar, right?

What? No it's not!

It definitely is.

Really? Hmm. Well, it's a FUN bar, that's for sure.

~fin~

This Sunset Junction bar is always lively, the much-ballyhoo'd jukebox is always cranking, and it's the type of place where you get the feeling that everyone who's there — bartenders and patrons both — would rather be there than anywhere else.
