Wolf & Crane Bar, located in the heart of Los Angeles, stands out as a destination for fans of Japanese whiskey and craft cocktails. This intimate bar, celebrated for its stylish decor, offers an impressive range of cocktails, including the Grey Wolf and Hanzo's Revenge, both showcasing expertly blended flavors. Patrons rave about the high-quality ingredients, with the cocktails often drawing considerable praise for their creativity and taste. The bar’s food menu features delectable options like 10 Piece Gyoza and Chicken Karaage, though some guests focus primarily on the drinks. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, brimming with an eclectic mix of patrons enjoying a vibrant music selection from the DJ. Jacob Barba emphasizes the bar's bustling vibe, especially at night, where the energy heightens amidst the crowd. Many reviewers appreciate the outdoor patio, providing a perfect spot to enjoy a beer while mingling. However, one common piece of advice is to arrive early—especially on weekends—due to the limited seating. Overall, Wolf & Crane Bar is more than just a place to drink; it’s a gathering spot that embraces great flavors, lively energy, and a sense of community. With clean facilities and friendly bartenders, it's a must-visit for cocktail aficionados and casual diners alike.

Japanese Whiskey lovers will have a ball with this place (especially ones with deep pockets who want to try the more gourmet offerings lol). Casual patrons will enjoy the high quality cocktails and stylish Japanese inspired decor. Place gets busy (i.e. cramped) at night, so bartender service can be a madhouse. But the drinks are always excellent and the vibe is always immaculate.

Small but just the right size. Been coming here for over 10 years and it’s still one of my favs There’s an outdoor patio in the front that you can smoke (tobacco) if you want to and still have your beer. It gets crowded but some how it’s always great vibes. Chilliest spot when they just open and super hip at night Beer always crisps and poured right & Cocktails are crafted with care and knowledge. Restroom is super large and accessible.

Didn’t order food there. I like the bar because no reservation is required, people are in and out of the bar. The ambience is lively, bar tender is friendly. Don’t feel pressure that I have to keep ordering the drinks in order to enjoy the live music. DJ plays great music, all genres. It doesn’t matter what age you are, the music is suitable for every generation. Will definitely go there again.

Great atmosphere! A lot of choices to sit and enjoy a drink with friends. There are a bunch of cocktails to choose from with interesting recipes! Clean bathrooms are a plus!

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.

Such a cute gem. I want their logo as a sticker!!! Walked in randomly & ended up staying for a few drinks. An amazing wall of bottles! Next time, I will make this a destination spot.

This place is a vibe the moment you walk in. The music is popping and everyone comes to dance. They have multiple sitting options from patio, high tables, a full bar with a great selection of Japanese whiskey and craft cocktails, mini tables with mini stools, bench sitting around the main dance floor near the DJ booth. DJ Jon Doe was spinning and it’s all groovy nostalgia hits to get everyone jamming, shaking their thang, getting low, and sing/bop to. Hip-hop, underground, r&b, pop, Latin mix, classic hits, and mash ups with edm. All the good stuff even if you wanna get low get low get low... They have a disco ball and spinning laser lights with a club feel, but still feels open enough to move through. As long as you move to the beat you’re all good. The people who come are chill, mixed crowd of mid 20’s-40’s, mingle with cool peeps from different clicks, Asians, Latinos, and everyone else all up in the mix. Trendy hip with a chill dtla vibe. Went on a Saturday night it was was poppin’ at 10pm and pretty much stayed until last call. There was still a bunch of ppl there dancing and living it up.

Really enjoyed the bar and the atmosphere was very chill laid-back unfortunately does get very busy and there will only be two bartenders at once which is fine but there is like a five little minute wait so be patient with the bartenders. I would recommend to give this bar a try. They have a menu of what they make which I would recommend just having their drinks and not asking for anything else because they make really good drinks. Ask for a recommendation they kinda lead you towards the right direction. I was a little confused at first, but there was a guy and he was kind of helped with what I wanted to say the least.
