Nestled betwixt Downtown (proper), the Arts District and, ahem, Skid Row, to form a misfit tetrad of walkable neighborhoods, Little Tokyo is home to your next favorite restaurant coffee shop bar spot. Est. 1886 (i.e. in LA terms, pre-historic), it’s one of few remaining US Japantowns, and the well-documented taciturn cultural pride has protected its authenticity, skewing it less tourist-trap and more Taste of Tokyo.
With an extensive lineup of Japanese Whiskey, as well as a concisely curated list of craft beers and other select cocktails, Wolf & Crane is the perfect spot to meet a friend before dinner in Little Tokyo. Its modern wood interior and low-key lighting create an intimate atmosphere. Bartenders here are always friendly and knowledgable, and the clientele is mostly Little Tokyo and Arts District locals. On weekends, there's a DJ who sets the mood with old school hip hop.
