Chained Rabbit

You won’t find a sign out front at Chained Rabbit, and that’s exactly the point. This Burbank dive bar doesn’t need to announce itself—word of mouth does the job just fine. Step inside and you’ll find the quintessential neighborhood watering hole: dim lighting, well-worn barstools, a handful of cozy booths, and an atmosphere that practically begs you to stay for “just one more.”

What sets Chained Rabbit apart from your typical dive is the kitchen. The food here punches well above its weight class. The shrimp tostadas are a revelation—crispy, fresh, and absolutely packed with flavor. The fried chicken sandwich holds its own against spots that charge twice as much, and the twice-fried fries deliver that perfect crunch that keeps you reaching for more even when you’ve told yourself you’re done.

Happy hour runs from 4 to 7pm with $6 cocktails, which is exactly the kind of deal that turns a quick post-work drink into an impromptu evening out. The vibe here is decidedly unpretentious—this is a place where regulars know each other’s names and newcomers feel welcome from the moment they walk in.

If you’re looking for a spot in Burbank where you can unwind with a solid drink and surprisingly memorable bar food, Chained Rabbit delivers. Just don’t plan on leaving early—this is the kind of place that has a way of keeping you around.
