We enjoyed a couple of ice-cold beers and spent some time chatting with the bartender, who was friendly, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable about the drinks. Her customer service was top-notch and made us feel right at home. It also happened to be karaoke night! Some people absolutely crushed it, while a few others...well, maybe they should stick to their day jobs. All kidding aside, it made for a fun and entertaining evening. We'll definitely be back. If I had one small suggestion for the owner, it would be to add a little more signage out front--maybe a green neon sign to make it stand out as an Irish pub. We actually drove past it a couple of times before realizing it was next to a bakery. Ironically, the bakery--which isn't Irish at all--had the green neon sign that caught our attention! Overall, a fantastic neighborhood spot with cold beer, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to our next visit!

The ambiance is dark and moody -- great for date nights or catching up with friends, though it's not really suited for business occasions or family outings. The space is indoor-outdoor, which is a nice touch, though it can get a little hot on the outdoor side in the summer. Service was prompt -- we were seated quickly without any wait. Drinks were very good -- we both had old fashioneds, and overall they were alcohol-forward but with a lot of good taste and pizzazz behind them. We only had appetizers this visit, but both were excellent. The elote ribs was a standout, and the French fries -- topped with short rib -- were delicious as well. Price was pretty affordable for a steakhouse: about $40 per person just for apps and drinks, though a full meal with food and drinks would likely run closer to $100 per person. Overall, a great spot for a night out with friends or a date, and I'd happily go back to try the full menu. Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 Consistency: N/A

The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things, which is a big reason we've kept coming back. Over time, we've even met some of the owners, and the place has always felt welcoming and well-run, even through ownership changes. That's why this last visit stood out and not in a good way. The bar was packed for the basketball games, and the staff was clearly hustling. Honestly, they could've used more support behind the bar for a crowd like that. Instead, one of the partners seemed to take on the role of... social host. He made sure people knew who he was, but didn't actually step in to help where it mattered. We've seen other partners jump behind the bar or run food when things get busy, so the contrast here was hard to miss. At times, it felt less like leadership and more like a running announcement tour. Meanwhile, the team that was actually working kept pushing through a packed house. The vibe took another hit with the TVs. With so many screens already locked on basketball, it didn't seem like a big ask to change just one on baseball. One of the bartenders even put it on, but a few minutes later, after a guest played into Mr. Big Shot's ego, he went and changed it right back. Just unnecessary, and honestly felt a little performative. We still like this place and really appreciate the staff who show up and do the work. But that interaction definitely left a different impression than what we've come to expect here.

I'm a beer guy so I most def found it funny that beer on Draft or bottle are the same price. That doesn't make sense, but whatever i just go with draft. The place is small and dimmy but does the job. Def bring a +1 to stay entertained. Goodluck chit chatting though, they always have the music on so LOUD. I really don't get the hype nor like places with excessively loud music. It's so loud that even the bartenders can't hear a word your saying. It gets annoying having to repeat yourself and yell back. The pool tables are what really draw me back. I'm always able to catch a game, however some ppl do hog them and/or chit-chat instead of playing. I do like that they have several security guards, that does make me feel safe! Thank you.

The only problem was the entertainment, which was a DJ with a system of loudspeakers and high amps. He had a very long drum rhythm sound without music. I've played the drums and know they are to be support for other instruments and voices, with a rare exception of a drum solo, which should be more than just banging cymbals and pounding drums. This was at least rhythm, but without the benefit of melody. My suggestion is to focus on the great food and service and tell the D.J. that his job is to provide background music, not to try and overwhelm diners with lots of noise.

Kelley's used to be a nice hang out back in the good old days not so far ago until they hired Erika. Now Erika is a very UN-classy gal, the only way to get a drink from this gal is to be a hot guy who she finds attractive or if you can become part of her click then I can guarantee you will get a five star service. I used to be a regular at this bar and on slow days it would take her 1 hour and a half to get me my drink and on busy days up to 2 hours. Now don't get me wrong I tipped her well and I even tried to bring some of my friends over to the bar to have a good time, the last straw was when she ignored me and my buddies for a couple of hours. In the two hours we were there she only served us two drinks with a spoon full of attitude. The owner needs to get off his ass from Rhodes Island and get back to Downey, in the mean while I will be hanging out at my new favorite place in downey: The Downey Brewery (old Nordic fox restaurant), what can I say "they have 40 beers on tap" and no attitude! read more

Love Kelley's, love it's dive bar feel and secluded feel to it. I used to go there more often until I ran into to many troublemakers. They had security at the door but anyone can get in. I stop going often after two close encounters with people fighting. With that there seems to be more people at Brewery than there. I still go sometimes when I want to have a beer an chill alone or go with my friends and have a drink after visiting the Brewery. Drinks are inexpensively priced but have no Draft beer. read more

This place is descent when a particular self-loathing bleached blonde bimbo of a bartender named Erika is not working. Whether it's waiting for her to finish smoking her cigarette, talking to guys she thinks like her, or putting up with her attitude because you asked her to get you a drink, this bartender is doing a disservice to this bar. Dressing slutty is not enough in this case. Hire more than one bartender so we don't have to tolerate such sub par service. read more

Of course, I ended up striking up a conversation with the two gentlemen sitting next to me. Both were cute--one was super handsome --so I enjoyed a little conversation while having my drink before the game. The bartender was a cute young girl who was friendly and attentive.

UNTIL a security dude came out of NO WHERE, 30 mins into the 3pm game and tells me I need to move because i'm in the way. I told him I had been there since 1:30pm and no one told me to move and def didn't tell me about the "bar line" that I was all of the sudden in the way of. The bartender should have told me to move right away if i was in the way, WHEN THERE WAS MORE SEATS AVAILABLE!!! NOT WHEN IT WAS 30 MINS INTO THE GAME AND I HAD NO OTHER PLACE TO MOVE TO! IT WAS PACKED BY THEN! I really didn't appreciate that he was yelling at me, he was rude from the beginning and when i gave him the same energy back, he told me he was going to KICK ME OUT IF I DIDN'T CALM DOWN. He was giving LDE. When i asked for his name and to speak to the manager he walked away. MIND YOU.... after that some guy ended up standing right next to me the REST OF THE GAME. HE WAS IN FRONT OF THE LINE THE WHOLE TIME AND NO ONE SAID A DAMN THING. I have pictures with time stamps of this guy next to me the whole game.
