Coolest jukebox-- this place manages to be friendly and down to earth-- yet still very L.A. Miixture of white and other race young adults, mixture of straight, bi whatever. Most nights are like this-- always fun. Check listings or call because sometimes there are nights oriented to a specialty-crowd-- like other clubs. -  Mike

Akbar is the best. I don't want to over-analyze it... but it's such a magical place that damn near everytime I take someone there for the first time, they hear some eclectic favorite song of theirs that they thought they'd never hear in public. I think that's cool. - Daniel

Saturday nights are the best nights to squeeze into Akbar for a drink and a four hour dance session. Great DJs, un-surly bartenders. - Sherrie , posted 06/14/05 |

Akbar is a great neighborhood bar but now on thursday nights in the back room Dirty Dirty House Club has brought their vibe to the dancefloor with LA icon Dj Tony Powell. - mondo breaths , posted 03/12/05 |

Great Jukebox, hip silverlake crowd, girls welcomed. Most of the staff has a bit of an attitude problem and the drinks aren't cheap (not expensive either) but the best combination of cute boys and good music. - Horace , posted 09/07/04 |

Akbar manages to be a step above many other bars simply on the basis of its convenience, affordability and casual atmosphere. Parking always seems to be available along Sunset Boulevard; drinks rarely cost more than $5; and the doorman rarely asks for anything more than ID. Service is provided by a staff that is far more Colt than Ford model, but cute and helpful all the same. As a weekend hotspot Akbar exudes a welcoming vibe, which is reflected in its varied following. Midweek, the bar offers periodic specials on well drinks including seriously delectable cosmos and margaritas to a more local gay following. Perhaps the coolest bar out of the Los Angeles loop, Akbar makes Silverlake and Echo Park seem sexy. The other problem with this place has been the new addition to the bar, a dance floor, but it is on the other side so you can not hear the music... - Unsubscribed , posted 09/02/04 |

Akbar is a very welcoming, homey neighborhood queer bar. The jukebox has good music, the folks are friendly and unpretentious, mostly locals from Silverlake/Los Feliz/Hollywood, people of all genders. There are cozy couches and a relaxing yet fun atmosphere. There's a dance floor in the back room which is open on weekends. - Max , posted 08/31/04 |
