"Is it weird taking someone you direct messaged on Instagram to a dive bar? Probably not any weirder than any other bar. But when you simply want to make things more comfortable, go to Crawfords. The tiny dive in Historic Filipino has been around for a few years, and has become one of the most reliable bars in the city. You always know what you’re going to get here - good beer, affordable prices, a few games of Buck Hunter in the corner, and a hot chicken sandwich you’re absolutely finishing in front of your date." - brant cox, brett keating
"Located on a quiet stretch of Historic Filipinotown, Crawford’s is one of those bars you start thinking about two bars before you actually end up there. The space is pretty small, but they make the most of it with a billiards table, a few video games in the corner, and big red booths. It’s beer and wine only, which is good news for you because you downed five vodka sodas at the last bar, and it’s time to take your foot off the gas. If you get there before 11pm, they serve some of our favorite hot chicken in the city." - brant cox
"Crawford’s is the neighborhood bar everyone wishes was in their own neighborhood. Next to a Taco Bell in Historic Filipinotown, this is an unpretentious place to escape your usual people with whiskey and Buck Hunter 2000. The beer and wine options are very cheap, and the fantastic hot chicken means you won’t have to go next door for a Cheesy Gordita Crunch when you get hungry at midnight." - brett keating
"The idea of a dive bar is appealing to you, but you also have zero interest in sticky floors and sweaty couples in the corner sticking their tongues down each other’s throats. Head to Crawfords. This neighborhood dive bar in Historic Filipinotown has only been open for a few years, but feels like a weathered staple. The crowd is a mix of locals who walked there and people from Silver Lake who are sick of Silver Lake. It isn’t a big space, but there are a few booths, a billiards table, and a Cruisin’ USA in the corner. Just don’t leave without getting some hot chicken from the bar - it’s debatably as good as Howlin’ Ray’s." - brant cox
"It’s that point in the week when all human interaction makes you irritable, and the only solution is cold beer and hot chicken. Head to Crawfords. The Historic Filipinotown dive is the kind of place where you can sit at the bar or in a big red booth, stare off into the distance, and not say a single thing to anyone. Their beer list isn’t the biggest in town, but they always have a good selection of local brewers, and the hot chicken they serve at the bar is one of our favorites in LA." - brant cox
