The Thirsty Crow

"The Thirsty Crow is everything a neighborhood bar should be. The low-key Silver Lake space hasn’t changed much since it opened in 2010, serving strong, well-made drinks from experienced bartenders. The signature drinks like a blood orange Negroni are always fun, but this bar really shines with the classics. Martinis are available as wet or dry as the heart desires, and requesting extra olives is fair game. Try the Midnight Vesper with yuzu lavender liqueur for a twist on the classic. Head over during happy hour for $12 martinis and other discounted drinks. The Thirsty Crow doesn’t serve food, but outside food is welcome, and sometimes there are pop-ups and trucks right outside." - Rebecca Roland

"Silver Lake standby the Thirsty Crow offers happy hour until 9 p.m. every day and all day on Wednesday and Sunday. Margaritas, Old Fashioned, and Manhattans cost $10, while well drinks are only $9. The Thirsty Crow doesn’t serve food, but guests are able to bring in their own bites, or there’s often a food truck or pop-up just outside. Keep an eye on the calendar for other events like vinyl nights, sip and sketch, and board games." - Rebecca Roland

"Silver Lake spot with a happy hour and a vinyl DJ." - Rebecca Roland
