The Abbey: When—and if—we face St. Peter at the pearly gates, we hope he takes into account time spent at this church-inspired bar. The Abbey’s stained glass and cathedral touches are subtle and playful, and the friendly bar staff won’t make you feel guilty about ordering another round. Heck, they even offer buybacks. You don’t get that at St. Patrick’s. A sin-gle pool table in the back and Ms. Pac-Man, Big Buck Hunter, Photo Hunt (including—gasp!—the dirty versions), and a CD jukebox offer entertainment to the booths made of facing pews. Events like DJs spinning dance classics (Saturdays—and thou shalt not dance), pool tournaments (Mondays), and movie nights (Sundays) keep the congregation amused. |
