Abby's is an upcoming American comedy television series set to premiere during the spring of 2019 on NBC.

Premise

Abby's takes place at "the best bar in San Diego, home to good prices, great company and, of course, Abby. This unlicensed, makeshift bar nestled in her backyard is the opposite of everything annoying about today’s party scene. There are rules at Abby’s: no cell phones (not even to 'look something up'), earning a seat at the bar takes time and losing a challenge means drinking a limey, sugary 'not-beer' drink. As the oddball cast of regulars will tell you, hanging out at Abby's is a coveted honor. But once you're in, you're family."[1]
