"We’re not saying that you should move to Historic Filipinotown just so you can call Crawfords your neighborhood bar, but we’re also… not not saying that? This low-key drinking spot is exactly the kind of place that you wish was in a walking radius from you - part dive bar, part excellent fried chicken joint, and entirely easy and fun, they’re the perfect place to grab a booth with some friends, order a few rounds, and talk about leaving the Westside." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, kat hong, brett keating
"Cheap beer and fried chicken already sound like a winning combination, but when the bar comes from none other than Dustin Lancaster, you know it will be even more special. The result is Crawford’s, a Westlake drinking hole that puts out some surprisingly awesome fried chicken from the tiny kitchen in the back." - Rebecca Roland
"It might not even be fair to include Crawfords on this list, because no one is there for the drinks. Rather, it’s the fantastic hot chicken. And the pool. And Big Buck Hunter. This is a bar that wouldn’t feel out of place somewhere in the southern half of the Appalachian Trail, with plenty of halogenic beer signs, red leather booths, and wood beams on the ceiling. Basically, what we’re saying is that sober or not, no matter how much time you spend at Crawfords, you should probably be spending even more." - brett keating
"As the sign in front of this Westlake bar advertises, this is the place for fried chicken and an ice cold beer. But what’s unsaid is that this bar by Dustin Lancaster (Bar Covell) is one of the best fried chicken spots in town. And the beer selection ranges from Bud on tap to world-class craft beer, such as Bell’s Two Hearted IPA." - Eater Staff, Rebecca Roland
"Historic Filipinotown’s excellent dive bar Crawfords is back, with a new outdoor area in addition to their bar seating. They’re only using disposable utensils and containers, and are operating at 40% capacity. More info on their Instagram." - brett keating
