To celebrate PRIDE 2011, The Abbey is throwing down with "Pride Out Loud," a weekend-long lineup of guest DJ's like Michael Paul and Derek Monteiro, starting today at 3pm. pricing, of course, but if you came to West Hollywood to save money, that's kind of on you.Īs for your more, um, specific concerns, we'll put it like this: you don't have to worry about being hit on, not least of all because the gay guys here are most likely younger, hipper, and in way better shape than you or I. First of all, you'd be hard-pressed to find a cooler-looking bar of any kind on the Westside. Once that's out of your system, go grab a drink or two at The Abbey. Then, punch yourself in the face, several times if necessary. First, think about every poor girl you've ever drunkenly hit on in a bar. If you're a straight guy who tells their gay friends that you would totally go to a gay bar except you're worried about being hit on by guys, there's an easy, two step solution.

Where: The Abbey When: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, 3pm-2am If This Is Your First Pride Event: PRIDE Out Loud At The Abbey įirst off, we should note that all official PRIDE events (unless otherwise noted) are taking place in West Hollywood Park, on San Vicente between Santa Monica and Melrose.Ĭlick the map on the left to look at the big picture of the official festival grounds. So here, then, is the first Straight Man's Guide to LA PRIDE, featuring my completely subjective take on the events, bars and restaurants that are worth your time no matter which box you click when filling out your Facebook profile. Patty's, LA PRIDE is a gigantic party open to any and all who want to celebrate equality and/or get drunk in public. In the same way that you don't have to be Mexican on Cinco de Mayo or Irish on St. And as a straight man, I can tell you for certain that whether or not you identify as LGBT, it's going to be worth your time. Well, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is dancing with drag queens again, so you know what that means! No, his wife's not out of town-it means this weekend marks the 2011 edition of LA PRIDE, the West Hollywood-based Gay Pride festival/parade that makes a normal WeHo party look like a Sunday School field trip to the Creation Museum.
