In Short – A Moroccan theme and Renaissance-like nude paintings provide the perfect setting for this very mixed gay and straight libido-laden crowd. The bar is the center of attention in the front--and with just the right mix of luck and timing, the bartenders may spin the drink wheel and offer a few minutes of whatever special it lands on. Cozy couches and tables make for comfortable lounging options in the back. The friendly neighborhood vibe is augmented by a conversation-enhancing jukebox.

NOT TO BE TRUSTED WITH CREDIT CARD!!!!!! DONT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD!!!!!
by tonyt818 at Citysearch
I gave them my credit card and opened up a tab and the bar. At the end my bill was $26. I had the cash so I ended up paying and tipping them in cash. Two days later I see a charge on my credit card for $50 dollars. DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Pros: Price were okay, a little high but ok.
- Cons: DONT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD. THEY DO RANDOM CHARGES ON IT!!!!!!!!

Be careful with your credit card!!

Pay in cash or don't go at all! If you give them your credit card, you may be surprised by the "tip" they seem to give themselves. Not to be trusted.

good place for a drink...
by jesloz11 at Citysearch
Been to Akbar a few times. Great place to relax and unwind. If you are looking for the pretentious weho scene, this is not the place to go. Very low key, lots of locals, and down to earth people. Met my partner at Akbar so I cant complain!!! Only inconvenience is the 20 tab on credit cards. Other than that not a bad place to go to.
- Pros: drinks, location
- Cons: parking, seating
