This bar is one of my favorites! Nothing compares to their signature cocktail The Thirsty Crow! Plus they play great music! Also a pretty bomb sazerac if your into that kind of thing...  mixology

From the outside you can't really say how cool is this place, so you just have to get in and try one of their cocktails. The happy hour won't disappoint you either.

Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. If you happen to be an East Coaster in L. A., you will find no better bar to drink yourself sane. Order a Pappy Van Winkle's, neat. Read more

AW: Good bourbon bar. have a mint julep, served in that cute little silver cup with one of the roughly one billion bourbons. move on to an Old Fashioned

Saturday night was LOUD. Good time, good drinks, good music (lots of old school hip hop), but having an actual conversation was a herculean task.

Try the Thirsty Crow (cocktail) for the newbies. Then move on to a professional drink like an Old Fashion. Oh, and relax, it's the Thirsty Crow.

Handsome and friendly bartenders, stiff pours, a good soundtrack - I had a great time on a Friday night at this bar.

Extremely friendly and fun place with some great craft beers and some truly delicious cocktails.

Named one of the nation's best bars, it boasts a lengthy cocktail list plus a list of over 40 small-batch bourbons. The interior is designed to look very old with dark wood paneling. Read more

The happy hour prices are awesome here. $5. Head next door to Local, get some local organic food am they'll drop it off for you at the Crow.

Keep it classy at this grandfatherly-feeling, bourbon-centric bar's that stocks its shelves with 40+ small-batch distills and pours cocktails like the marmalade Manhattan (w/ Makers Mark). Read more

One of the best places for Happy Hour in LA! Not complaining about the $5 Whiskey!
GuapologaDecember 13, 2013
The place has amaZing wiskhey cocktails 😁! But tonight it just stinks. Literally. The smell is horrible. Hope they take care of the situation at the door and inside the place.

Dedicated cocktail-ing in L.A. Lively, dark and comfortable. Primo whiskey roster. Gregarious bartenders. Try signature "Thirsty Crow" cocktail, or one of the-best Old Fashioneds anywhere. Read more

Bourbon princess approved! Check out the specialty drinks menu. The Mint Julep was pure frosty cold whisky perfection! And the champagne or wine spritzers!
Stephanie AriasDecember 11, 2016
Old fashions! Good. Atmosphere, good. DJ awesome.

Great spot for a few friends. Thirsty cow house drink is a good start.
Kid MedusaDecember 20, 2010
Great looking bar and cool atmosphere are the hallmarks of this east-side hipster holdout, but the drinks themselves could be better

Regular Manhattan. Perfection. For beer drinkers they have Allagash on tap. It is a win/win for all.

Silverlake's local mini Edison...Try "The Thirsty Crow," "The New Yorker," a whiskey on the rocks and finish off with some PBR.
