We Go Way Back!

History Gallery.

In 1996 Scott and Peter bought Joley’s II, a gay piano bar. They bought it with a desire to have a cool place to hang out with their friends. 27 years later – with AKBAR now an iconic watering hole of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, and albeit the world – they have sold it to the two people who pulled Akbar out of the pandemic and who have a long history of living and loving on that corner of Sunset and Fountain.
