Wolf & Crane Bar

The 5 stars for food represents the whiskey I had. I actually have no idea if they serve food. Not knowing Japanese whiskey well, I was hoping the bartender would have the knowledge, and boy oh boy was he awesome. After telling Francis my likes and dislikes with whiskey, he suggested two that were both awesome! Not to mention his music choice for that night (deep cuts alternative 80s 90s). Worth a stop for a beverage, regardless of your whiskey love, but especially if you do.

We came on a Thursday for Happy Hour. It’s a really cool bar, especially their happy hour prices. They have good bartenders and plenty of seating. I really enjoyed their Wolf and Crane special and whiskey sour. One of the few spots where they actually use an egg white. That sold it for me! We didn’t try any of their food, only drinks. Would come back and recommend checking out if in the Little Tokyo area.

Wolf & Crane in Little Tokyo is a cool spot, but parking can be a bit of a hunt. When I dropped by, they were hosting a private event, so the cocktail menu was limited, but I made do. I ordered the Berried Treasure—a solid drink, though it didn’t quite blow me away. The vibe was laid-back with great energy, and the staff were friendly despite the limited menu. While my drink was fine, I’d love to return when the full menu’s available. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area, just be prepared for parking roulette!

Came here for an after dinner drink. A friend recommended if you want a variety of whiskeys. All sort of concoctions or straight shot of whiskeys. Order at the bar. Very quaint place. Indoor, patio and outdoor seating available pending on your mood. The mural of the wolf and crane is quite interesting. Pricing is not over height for a whiskey bar.

Best bar in little Tokyo. Cocktails are fantastic and well balanced. Bartender is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.

Cute cocktail bar! Highly recommend for visitors. Not a huge amount of seating on a Friday night so come early or with a small group who doesn’t mind standing. Great vibe and decor. Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. We loved it while we were here but because it was very crowded, we were in and out quickly.

I love the atmosphere here, but the Latino bartender had an attitude issue. I waited about 10 minutes just to get his attention, and when I finally got to talk to this person, he acted as if he didn’t understand my English. I don’t know how hard it is for a bartender to understand something as simple as "any type of whiskey" or "Hennessy," yet he seemed perfectly friendly with other pretty girls. After waiting another 20 minutes, he completely ignored my order. Thanks for wasting 30 minutes of my life.
