Akbar

"Went to Akbar for the first time yesterday and had the best time. The bar itself is very nice! The bartender Jennifer was AMAZING!! Super nice, very friendly and attentive! I will definitely be back more often!!!"

"Drink was $8, gave the bartender $10 ….and he never came back. I was going to tip, but clearly he decided to TIP HIMSELF. Finished my drink and left. Too sketchy for me. Found another bar where I wasn’t getting ripped off."

"This spot is so great and has always stayed true to itself : it’s not a dive tho : it’s fun and clean just with the best lighting and ambiance! Jennifer behind this bar is like none other : such great make up and phenomenal jewels & has always made us feel welcomed! I also won a Madonna contest here! They hosted an actual Madonna trivia night and I dominated it winning the grand prize! As if a daily AKBAR Happy Hour : 4-7 Daily, wasn’t enough!"

"Went here for Madonna night for the first time since the pandemic last night. I love that they host this night! However, it was insanely packed and hot as a sauna on the dance floor. It's bad enough that there's no so AC so I don't understand why they can't but some fans in there at the very least. This is especially important in the post-COVID era to dilute viral aerosols. I hope they do something about this soon cuz I truly love everything else about this bar/club. It would be nice to dance the night away more comfortably and without fear of getting sick. Lastly, the DJ could have done a better job with song selection last night."

"Akbar in Silver Lake is a fantastic LGBT bar that embraces the power of rock and roll and a love for guitars. With a fun atmosphere, cold beers, and a welcoming spirit, it's a great place to make new friends and enjoy a night out. Join the community at Akbar and experience a vibrant and inclusive spot to hang out and have a good time."
