Downey's Bar & Grill

Bar and grill

😐 The drink service was a little slow and we were one of the first people there for Saturday brunch. The food was served in decent time although one person in our party didn't get his food on time. Party of less than 10. Will not be returning. Personal choice, not because the food or drink was bad. People often mention great, good, time, party, Great, staff, atmosphere,

    This is the first time visiting this place. I haven't been here since it was Kelly Ryan's. We had our Holiday party here because of the location which was close to work. The happy hour specials were good, but I was never told what time it ended. Some of my drinks were half priced then without notice I was charged regular price at 5:30. The bartender must have been just learning how to make certain drinks because he wasn't familiar with making a coworker's bloody mary lol. We had appetizers such as nachos, which could have been better. Wasn't enough cheese on it and had dumps of chili dumped on top. The chicken wings, fries, and mozzarella sticks were fine. I hope their other food items taste better.

    Great neighborhood bar and restaurant with a large back room for special events. Food is delicious and large portions. Well stocked bar with a good selection of draft beers. Entertainment is great, especially on Saturdays with live music. No bar can be successful without a great staff and they definitely have that. Bartenders, barbacks, waiters, and of course the chef. They are all great. Pictures attached to this review are from the website. Was going to take my own but the place was full and didn't want to post pictures of people without permission.

    Brian and Downeys were absolutely fantastic! They came to my rescue when I needed to find a place for my baby girl's 1st birthday party at the last minute. Not only that, but they accommodated every single request I had. Thanks to them, the birthday party was truly memorable, and now I can't wait to have my baby shower there as well!

    Really bad atmosphere. Customers are often over served and sleeping on the bar. A regular got a head injury from being over served and was in a coma. A lot of underage drinking. Not an enjoyable place to hang out at.

    Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us. Usually people donate space for us to have things but ! You don't meet the owners not these guys they talked & had fun wit us like we were friends and not Like we were Disabled Veterans it was Great ! Not one question about why my leg had Scars on it from surgeries they didn't even see my legs and I had on Shorts . WOW great people. Oh boy They had a kid there serving by the name Of Conner this young man handled a room wit 30 grumpy, battle tested Marines,Army artillery,and special forces Wit ease 🫡He didn't break a sweat And knew the menu in his head and kept The orders straight 🤷🏾‍♂️could be my RTO Man any day. Thanks 4 the experience
