Big news for LA's LGBTQ+ nightlife! Iconic venues @theabbeyweho and @thechapelweho have announced their sale to entrepreneur Tristan Schukraft. 🌈 Details 👇
But don't worry, the party isn't over. The transfer of ownership plans to keep the iconic spirit of these venues alive, with the established management team remaining onboard.
David Cooley, the founder of these legendary venues, opened The Abbey in 1991 as a coffee shop which later blossomed into a top-notch bar, restaurant, and nightclub.
Cooley and Schukraft are both excited for this new phase, promising to continue the venues' rich history and contribution to the LGBTQ+ community while bringing fresh ideas to the table.
