Parking: Free lot behind bar; Limited street parking. West Hollywood Side gay bar debate.

When researching Akbar on yelp, there seemed to be a debate about which bars were better - as if people needed to pick one side for some strange reason. It felt like the 90s again with all the Biggie Smalls vs. Tupac debates. For the record, I never chose sides back then. Arriving at Akbar, I began taking exterior shots for this review.
