Horrible experience. I was there for an event and an individual wearing jeans, black shirt, dodgers hat who displayed signs of controlling the egress and digress of cars told me i had to leave since the parking was for the "bar only". I attempted to park my car in the last space on the aisle were the bars entrance was located when the dodger hat individual said " you have to move this is private parking for the bar only" i tried to find a placard that said bar only as i parked in the last spot in that aisle" i told him there's no sign that says its bar parking only ... he replied "there's a tow truck placard right there which i replied im going to the event thrown by the store in the same plaza he continued to say i had to move my car. the sign he mentioned looked like a tow away signs if you are not going to be going into one of the business's . when i complied and tried moving my car he stood behind it ... i told you "move out of the way so i can get my car out" he stayed behind my car for about 30 sec as i kept asking him to get out of the way. So in essence he told me to move my car and the proceeded to NOT let me move my car ... strange individual. Later that day during the event i spoke to one of the other business owners, and i asked "is that bar parking only? the spots in the aisle by the bar?" the business owner said "no those parking spots are for everyone going into any store in this plaza" who knows what the guys issue is
Update after response The individual specifically stated "this is private parking for the BAR ONLY" reffering to the aisle directly within the Kelly's tavern...

People that come here aren't looking for trouble. The staff is always friendly and there is very rarely a long wait to be served. Many thanks to the staff here for their dedication and love for the way Downey used to be, quiet and...
Read moreSmall little joint. The atmosphere was pretty chill. I went during a Dodger game night so it was packed with Dodger fans. They had a DJ playing some tunes, people were either dancing, talking, laughing, or playing pool. Yes, there is a pool table, but I didn't really get a good view of that part of the bar. I just noticed there were people playing as well. There aren't too many seats available fyi, oh and also, the parking is located in the back of the bar because it sits right on...
