Abbey, Brooklyn, New York, American Restaurant Details

Food:

Solid atmosphere. Brooklyn blast on tap. Peewee Herman movie playing in the background (pro or con? You decide). Popcorn, cool crowd. I'd go back.

Food:

From the pool table to Big Buck Hunter to photo booth strips pasted on the walls, I don't know what makes this bar an abbey. There's probably a back-story I'm missing.

But who cares? At the Abbey you'll experience the BEST Irish car bomb pour this side of the Hudson. Thank you bartender Sam[1].

Even if you're not looking for cheap drinks, this dimly-lit setting is perfect for a conversation with a date. Especially if that conversation involves a little French[2]. If you're feeling anti-social, don't worry, there are TV screens to keep you company, and they never judge.

[1] Who also introduced me to Powers whiskey, and probably a spiral into hell.
[2] If you plan on going overboard - and you know when you are - please get a room.

Food:

My favorite night to visit The Abbey. It plays movies and offers free Chinese food up front. Sometimes the popcorn machine's on, although last time I went, it wasn't. And the super-kind bartender knows what he's doin'.

Food:

meh about sums it up. the bar is unremarkable in every aspect, whether it is selection, atmosphere, etc.

Food:

run-of-the-mill bar, some appeal because of the neighborhood and friendly clientele.
