    Ice cold

    I was in the area heading to the Lakers game yesterday with the lady and we went to trusty old Yelp to find food in the area. When I saw Crawfords described as a dive bar with fried chicken I knew I had to check this spot out. It's definitely a dive but the vibe was chill and I get the feeling that most of the people there were regulars. Now I didn't know that it's not a full bar so they only serve beer and wine. They have Budweiser and some kind of IPA on tap, the rest is an assortment of bottle and can beer. I just had a draft bud even though I haven't drank Budweiser in probably 15 years at least lol. The bartender was very welcoming and had great energy which I appreciate. Now for the chicken. It probably took about 10 mins to come out and it arrived fresh and hot. I was told it came with 2 wings and a thigh but when it arrived it was a breast and a drumstick. I'm not the type to sen stuff back unless it's really bad so I didn't complain. The chicken wasn't dry at all and had good, subtle flavor. For a side they were out of potato salad which everyone raves about so I opted for the Mac and cheese. It wasn't the best but definitely not the worst, what I will say is the portion was generous. I forgot to mention they do have a pool table which is always dope. Overall I thought it was a dope experience and although they don't have a full bar, I would probably double back for the chicken. Last thing I thought was pretty cool is that it's across the street from the OG Tommy's on Rampart which is a significant part of the corrupt LAPD rampart division history.

    Spicy Fried Chicken and Mac n Cheese

    Stopped in to try their fried chicken. Their online ordering wasn't accepting orders, so I went in and ordered at the counter. It's a small bar, about 10 tables or so h some high tops and others are booths and tables. About 10 more seats at the bar. Ordering was quick and easy at the bar, albeit the loud music which required a louder voice. Took our fried chicken to go, one spicy and the other not. I'd give the nod to the spicy chicken. Both were tender inside, crispy skin and just overall some great fried chicken. The spicy wasn't a burn your face off spicy, but it surely has a lot more flavor than the original. The mac n cheese was a green Chile variety and was tasty.. even better was the bacon BBQ beans. Those were awesome. Overall, a good experience and great food!

    It's a little hipster, it's a little divey, it's giving a lot of bunker, it's super friendly, the spicy chicken is some of the best in LA by far. All around good vibes here and friendly service in a sort of Beverly Blvd no man's land. I am a big big fan of Crawford's although much like the 90s vibe it puts out you won't find that name anywhere on the outside of the building in keeping with the IYKYK.

    Good vibes, great chicken! Fried chicken and beer. A small menu but they nailed it. If you can catch them on the right day (Mondays for now) they also do a delicious and huge chicken sandwich. They're prices went up, which is a bummer, so we don't go as frequently now but it's still delicious. You shouldn't eat fried chicken that frequently anyway pretty good classic music too! They have outdoor seating too which is nice when we'd bring the dog. No parking though. Hunt for street parking.

    Came in a few time for some cold beer finally decided to try the chicken and it was some of the best chicken I've had also the Mac and cheese and potato did not disappoint definitely recommend getting food here and definitely coming back!

    The epitome of a really cool neighborhood hangout. We went for the chicken but were graced with a great atmosphere. Some may call it a dive bar, but it's got a better vibe than a dive bar. I'm sticking with neighborhood hangouts. What I love about it most is how unpretentious it is. No LA posing here. Just come on in and be yourself and enjoy! You go up to the bar to order and then they bring your food to your table. Coors on draft for $4, served in a 12 oz beer mug. They had a couple of IPAs on tap for $8 and also had a nice assortment of canned beers. As I said, we went for the chicken. My friend and I each had the "basket of chicken" deal. It's $13 for two pieces of chicken and a choice of one side. You can order your chicken regular or spicy. My friend had the regular chicken with hot sauce on the side. Smart move. I had spicy chicken. Oh my. I really messed up. One bite into it, my eyes started watering, my nose started running, and I was sneezing. Lucas, the super cool bartender warned me how hot it was but I thought I could handle it. I took the skin off. It was good chicken. My bad for thinking I could handle the fire. It was also very greasy compared to my friend's regular chicken. For sides, I had mac 'n cheese, and my friend had potato salad. The mac 'n cheese didn't have a cheesy flavor, it was more like eating plain elbow macaroni. My friend's potato salad was really good, though. You can eat inside or outside. Outside is basically on the sidewalk and really close to the street. It works, though. Get there early if you want a seat. The later it gets, the more crowded it becomes. Oh, there's also a pool table. $2 a game. Not bad. The highlight for me and my friend was Lucas, the bartender. He's awesome. He makes you feel welcome and totally sets the tone for the entire place.

    Great chicken! Juicy, got lots of heat, comes with 3 large pieces, slice of bread and a pickle. You can choose a side. I tried the slaw & the potato salad and both were awesome and complement the chicken well. It's not that spicy but can mess with your stomach if it's sensitive. It's a small place with decent seating. There's a pool table as well.

    Food good, service bad. Bartenders like to add their own tips if you get a drink from the bar. Use cash is possible

There aren't many tables or bar seats. I've heard the line is frequently out the door, and if you want seating it's best to line up before they open. They do not take reservations. We came in on a whim around 9PM on a Friday night. The bar was packed, but thankfully there wasn't a line out the door. After heading in we found a sliver of standing room in a corner to order a couple drinks. After about twenty minutes a couple at the bar left and we were able to snag some chairs. The atmosphere and ambience is decent. There are neat decorations and trinkets everywhere. The music was a playlist of random music which isn't really my thing. There were two bartenders working who were friendly and prompt. The price point is fine around $15 per drink. I was very underwhelmed by their rum and cocktail program, though. I suppose given the history and hype of the bar I was expecting much more. They don't use fresh juices, everything is from bottles and cans (think Tropicana), their garnishes are all the same and taste a little off (maybe they're assembled way ahead of time and taste old?), and their rum selection is alright depending on the cocktail you order, but can also be lackluster, too. Overall, it was cool to finally check out Tiki Ti, but it was a one-and-done for me.
