Silver Lake, Los Angeles –
A favorite haunt for local hipsters and Silver Lake denizens, Thirsty Crow is a homey neighborhood bar whose saloon atmosphere and excellent whiskey drinks have made it a destination for bourbon lovers from all over the city.
Just past the velvet curtain and the display of antique whiskey bottles lies a large wooden horseshoe bar, where flannel-clad patrons gather to peruse the vast selection of bourbon, rye, and scotch.
The basic rustic décor of wooden barrels, exposed brick, beamed ceilings, and a collection of dusty glass bottles adds to the vintage atmosphere, while a row of brown leather banquettes and marble café tables offer the best spots for eyeing newcomers or chatting up neighbors to a background of country classics and jazz, or peering through the row of windows into the narrow patio that serves as a smoking room.
Couples and groups tend to retreat through the heavy drapes into the back room, where a leather booth and a wood stove provide a cozier place for getting acquainted.
Thirsty Crow patrons may show up for the extensive selection of whiskey and cocktails, but they no doubt stay for the cool vibe and the outgoing, good-humored crowd that make for a lively night on the town.
There’s an awesome whiskey selection, but if you’re more of a cocktail person, I highly recommend the Thirsty Crow, a tasty mix of Sazerac rye, citrus, bitters, and ginger beer finished with a lemon wedge and a sprig of mint and served in a Mason jar. It’s very refreshing, even if the intense ginger beer stings a bit on the way down.
