4++ Cocktail bar that has been in this space for quite some time now (as of 3/2026). I still remember coming here 15 years ago. And over time, this place has always had a fun vibe and reasonably priced drinks. The folks here seem to always be friendly as well. Even after all these years, this place could still get pretty crowded (the space isn't huge so that helps). They also have the Dodgers games on when available so that's great if you want to grab a drink in the area and don't want to miss the game. On my most recent trip, I came here after having dinner with a couple of friends in the area for a after dinner drink/ night cap. Ordered the martini and it was good! Just a great place in the area to meet up with friends to grab a cocktail if you wanna low-key place that has reasonable prices for good cocktails. read more

After work, we were pretty stressed and just wanted to grab a drink. The front door host, Nate, was incredibly nice and honestly made our day. He was friendly, welcoming, and gave us a great first impression. However, our experience afterward was disappointing. We waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated and another 20-30 minutes before anyone took our order. I understand that restaurants get busy, and we were trying to be patient because we could see the staff was overwhelmed. When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate. read more

Need to host a private event? Call The Thirsty Crow!!! I recently threw a surprise birthday party there for my girlfriend and it was an absolute blast! Taylor, the bar manager, was so helpful setting up a space and time for the party and very communicative throughout the whole process. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive as well. This spot is a gem and I highly recommend visiting or to throw a party there! read more

This was our first stop of the night, right on the south end of Silver Lake. Our game plan was simple: start here, then walk north and pop into anywhere that looked fun along the way. Thirsty Crow was the perfect place to kick things off. They've got different daily specials (see photo) and all-day happy hour on Wednesdays and Sundays (until 9 p.m. the rest of the week), which is basically unheard of in LA. $9-$10 well crafted cocktails that actually taste good? Hard to beat. They don't serve food, but they encourage you to bring your own or order delivery, which I love. It keeps the vibe casual and neighborhood-y, no frills, just solid drinks and a good atmosphere. Overall, a great starting point for a Silver Lake night out....easygoing, well-priced, and just the right kind of buzz to get the evening rolling. read more

Best dive bar in town, me and a couple friends stopped in on a Wednesday for karaoke, Noah made us some amazing drinks and I think his name was Ken the door guy was very polite and helpful. This is where you wanna be if you like Dive bars. read more

Gorgeous lounge with strong character that felt like a romanticized version of shrek's shack. I mean that as the most sincere compliment. This glorified swamp bar is still vibrant in warm dim lighting, whimsical wooden features, unique seating space and great drinks! I had never been to such a cocktail lounge and I was definitely there for it. It was easy to unwind and catch up with friends about the day and so on. As we gabbed, we had delicious cocktails, bummed a few cigs seated outside, and got some bread from a local baker with a setup outside their bar. My Carajillo was made beautifully. It had a creamy top and boozy espresso fill. Their mezcal marg is also tasty. Its smoky and savory dressed finish with the tajin had been done well and was a favorite of mine from the happy hour selection. The vibes were authentically charming, and designed for what felt like a great escape from the city yet somehow still in the mix of Silver Lake, make it make sense. Their happy hour prices were great and would consider this spot in the future for sure. We all enjoyed the bar, service and Middle Earth aesthetic, our visit was great! read more

Thirsty Crow - Carajillo Horchata - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As an LA native, this is my favorite bar in the entire city! It's rare to find a place that still has a dive bar feel and such a strong sense of community. All of the bar tenders are super friendly and easy to talk to and get to know! Wednesday nights are my favorite since there's karaoke, and bartenders Kalani and Noah navigate the chaos so effortlessly. Kalani makes a kick ass whiskey sour, and for all my sober friends, the best prickly pear mocktail you've ever had! I've met many of my now very close friends at Thirsty Crow, and every time I enter the thresholds of this fine establishment, it's always a grand time. I, like many others, have found love at the Thirsty Crow. read more

Great bar in Silver Lake. Went late on a Thursday night and it was lively. The music was great and the drinks were even better! Street parking was tough, but found a spot further up the street. Definitely recommend the Winter Margarita. read more

Thirsty Crow - Winter Margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yo its me the one at the bar who drew that lit photo of a dog on Thursday night drawing class. Yeah just letting you guys know not only is this bar pretty cool but that dog needs to be adopted. Its a little busy this spot I will say. Parking can be uh strategic to put it one way. But I wouldn't protest coming back. Some guy sells food in a van out front on the weekends so they got that going for them. And a TV projector type thing. Basically its a bar. And the actual bar is in a semi hemisphere shape which is statistically the friendliest way to set up a bar. So automatically the person next to you seems very interesting because youre slightly leaning in to listen to them and vice versa. But point being. Please adopt that dog guys. read more

Thirsty Crow - $10 happy hour. Beer and shot. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came to this hip ass bar in Silver Lake for the good happy hour. If you like dark bars with charm, this is one. Thirsty Crow is known for the great drinks and specials. Hand crafted cocktails. You can get top notch stuff at cheap prices. A cool place with an old look to it. It's kind of like throwback hipster if you want to call it that. The place only has drinks, with a crap ton of whiskeys. Go at happy hour. These are seriously incredible specials. It's $8 for bourbon, including good ones. There's plenty of classic cocktails they can make as well. It's $10 for an Old Fashioned. That's pretty good for around here to be honest. For sure it's a place to save money on great cocktails. It's got an old but hip feel to it. This gets crowds for the happy hour specials. read more

Drinks & service are ok. I'm giving a 2 star because I was forced to tip 20% off six drinks in a span of two & a half hours, which is ridiculous. It was just my husband & I in our own world. No one attending to us. We ended up paying nearly $20 in tip. I think it's a bit excessive. read more

This gem was PACKED on a Friday night! The vibe is also really really cool. The cocktails are well-crafted and all very unique; we enjoyed the horchata carajillo (YUM), Campari punch, margarita, and midnight vesper (not for the faint of heart). Will absolutely be back. read more

Great atmosphere and vibe. It was a little hole in the wall while we waited for the sushi restaurant nearby. Service was a bit slower because they had 1 bartender and a rush that came but nothing too bad. The happy hour menu had a small selection of manhattan, old fashioneds, margaritas, beer. read more

I first came to Thirsty Crow last August for my birthday and I've been coming back ever since. Most if not all celebrations have taken place here. It's a really social spot--easy to strike up conversations, whether you go alone or with friends. You won't find better bartenders, DJs or managers ANYWHERE, sorry not sorry. I usually go on Wednesdays for karaoke, which is always a good time, and there's a chicken nugget stand called Nugtown right outside that night that's honestly amazing. They also have other events throughout the week like game nights on Mondays and Sip & Sketch on Thursdays. The drinks are solid, the vibe's always good, and it's just one of those places that keeps you coming back. A time will always be had when it comes to the crow ! read more

Was there this week and it took like 20 minutes to get a drink because of trivia. bartender was by themselves for a bit which isn't typical. I still like the vibes. Mostly writing because my window got smashed out from my car parked at a meter outside soooo be careful. ‍ read more

Small little dive bar. It was cute but probably wouldn't go back on a weekend because there was not a lot of seating but also not a lot of standing room. Drinks were fairly cheap read more

This place has a great happy hour and till 9 PM which is unheard of. You can get an old fashioned, espresso martini, manhattan, margarita, etc. for only $10! To be fair the drink portions for happy hour are smaller than their regular drink sizes but I didn't mind. I wish they had food though, even fries or wings would have been nice. read more

I've been coming to Thirsty Crow for years. The drinks are amazing and it's near so many restaurant and nightlife hotspots. The bartenders are always pleasant. I recently stopped by for a quick drink, tried the nuggets from Mike outside (so amazing!) and inquired about a large party reservation at the bar. I was introduced to the manager who coordinated everything for me for a birthday. We had 15-25 people in the back room and tables, getting drinks easily from the bar. I was able to decorate the space a little earlier and bring a cake, and order chicken nuggets and cauliflower ahead of time to be served to my group at the perfect time. I was able to bring out the cake at midnight for the birthday countdown. Everyone had such a great time! Drink I recommend: horchata carajillo on their cocktail menu! And I love that they serve grapefruit Radlers read more

What a bar! We went on a Saturday around 11PM. This was my first time here. I really enjoyed this spot. The lighting was fabulous. Very dim lighting almost surprisingly dark when you first walk in but as your eyes adjust, it is a really good vibe (especially for the time of night). I enjoyed the low lighting behind the bar and the huge amount of space throughout. It is actually bigger than you think. There was a DJ playing amazing mixes which was unexpected. Inexpensive drinks and a delightful atmosphere, we stayed for a few hours. Bartenders were very kind and aware of everyone around - they came up to me right when I went to order something which was refreshing for a bar in Silverlake. We enjoyed the select craft beers and admired how truly large this bar is. It had a laid back element to it while also being a "poppin" spot for a Saturday night. This was the perfect vibe. We will be back to visit the thirsty crow!!! read more

Great vibes and service. Drink is pretty good and sometimes on the sweet side but the bartender is really nice to ask for some changes. Old fashioned is v good. Quietly tucked away before Silverlake gets crazy, a nice diversion. read more

Great happy hour. 5-8 Mon-Fri, 2-8 Sat & Sun. Highlights are the $8 cocktails. Came in after work. Chill crowd. I like the old school saloon vibe interior. Plenty of seating inside. There's also a few tables set up out front. Cocktails were good. Got the Sansa Stark and the Old Fashioned. Definitely add Thirsty Crow to your happy hour list. Service was good. Shout out to the chill bartender Cameron. Parking can be tough. There's street meters but they fill up fast so you might have to walk a block or two. read more

Really great local spot. Super small environment, but the intimacy adds to the community feeling you get when you sit down and hang for a while. It seemed like the spot where people come to hang out casually and not the kind of place where people get super fucked up and party. Which is really nice if you want a chill evening with a nice cocktail. I tried the Luna Lovegood house cocktail, which was strange and refreshing with mulled cucumber and I think gin? Personally, I prefer salty over sweet so I ordered just a regular dirty martini afterward. Both drinks were good. Definitely will be trying to make this place my chill regular spot. But beware, if you don't live around here then parking will be rough. It was a 10 minute walk from my work so I had no problem with that, but the first time I tried going I ended up just going home because I could not find a spot. Regardless of parking though, this is an awesome bar, has gothy / steam punk energy to it, but is really chill and has a lot of unique menu items. read more

Thirsty Crow - lady took a picture of me & another bar goer, the both of us were drawing, i guess that was interesting to the person who took the pic - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

food and drinks are good enough, but staff/bartenders tends to be neglectful/gotta wait to be served when you stand at the bar [even when it's fairly empty]. Seems like they want to cater to only a certain crowd. The interior is very interesting. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Such a fun, non-pretentious local bar! Came here for a friends' birthday. The margarita was straight up lit. Taylor at the bar was amazing! Would come here again.

I have no idea why I have never been here before! We stopped here after going to get some pricey cocktails across the street. They have happy hour Mon-Fri, from 5pm-8pm, which I love! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we chose to sit at the bar. I love the names of their drinks, they are creative and tasty. If you are in the area, you should definitely stop by! read more

Cute little spot, I like the deal they have when you get to order a shot with a hard seltzer. I discovered the best hard seltzer I've ever had here (Stiegel Radler Grapefruit) as well. I came here on a Thursday and it wasn't a "weekend type of busy" which was super nice. Great ambience and sit down atmosphere. read more

The food is good. They got the shaking box fried rice. All the banchans to make your belly happy. Service- I feel the servers here are not happy to be here. I'm not sure if it's the working conditions or they just hire ppl who thinks they could be doing something better. But either or, you may get lucky and have a server who will be prompt and smiles. Or you might get, like me, a waiter who refuse eye contact so as not to serve you. From my experience, the skinny male waiters are the latter. But girl servers are prompt and service oriented. I had a server: asian, darker skinned, who kinda looks like a Temu version of the main actor from Crazy Rich Asians. The service I got from him was horrid af. I mean, he did not come at all. That night, I tipped in cash the older hispanic guy who was clearing the dishes because he refilled my soda, and got another server to help me. I left 0 tip on my card because I didn't want a single cent to go to that CRA guy. Dessert is fun. Melona, or ice cream. Do I love this place? Yes. Yes, I'd come back. Despite some cocky waiters. Like if you think you can do better in life, do it. But you're a server, serve please. read more

Went here last night as an impulse decision to check out a new spot with an old friend. What a freakin' come up this was - I loved this place. I got 2 drinks (a pickle back shot and an old fashioned) and managed a really enjoyable convo with some of the bar staff and particularly the nicest bartender I've ever met - I think his name was Taylor or honestly I don't remember, but he was nice enough to make me feel welcomed. Please don't sleep on this place. It was definitely getting more fun as the night went, but turns out I'm older than I think and needed to go back home. All in all, it's a great bar with a great staff and drinks, in a great location. read more

Dope little spot! Came in to pre-game before a concert and their happy hour is super good. Service was quick and bartender was friendly. Looks like if I stayed longer they would've had live music, I kind of missed out. Unfortunately when I went to the bathroom they threw away my half-full drink lmao but the bartender made it right and poured me another one. Also no food here! So don't come hungry.. read more
