West Hollywood, CA 90069

More Info
On the next hot summer night, when you're feeling a bit pretty and witty and...gay, head over to The Abbey. The complex of four buildings (bar/restaurant serving American fare (excellent burgers), bakery (their red velvet cupcakes are worth the calories), and two additional bars), is built around a large, dare we say it - colorful - patio. Come for the beefcake, stay for the food and beverages. Or vice-versa.

Serving good ol' American fare, delicious cocktails and a stand-out all-day breakfast, you'll enjoy the food, but will love the patio. Outdoor diners sit in the fenced-in space, surrounded by a sea of tables, next to a softly gurgling fountain, beneath a canopy of trees.

Sofi Restaurant
8030 W 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90048
(323) 651-0346
More Info
Considered one of LA's best kept secrets, the patio at this sophisticated Greek eatery is expansive and quiet and utterly removed from the hustle and bustle of crazy LA. It's off of 3rd Street, but a million miles away from the scene. Perfect for an office lunch or a romantic dinner (but be advised: beer and wine and bubbles only), Sofi's quiet patio feels like that special childhood hideaway no one knew about but you.
