    Hoping they make a comeback like Rocky. I live this place. I an not a usual, not here every…read moreweekend, but legit is my to go place to have a beer with buddies. I preach this place like i was on their payroll haha, but they sell themselves. I have put on so many people to this place. So many options, lots of bottle/cans and a rotating draft menu that carries more than IPAs, nothing wrong with IPAs, i drink them but other types exist. I can always find my funky Sours on tap, and did i mention delicious fresh samiches? Dayum son! Hope nothing but good luck for them, they are a staple in Downey's DNA.

    My best friend of nearly 40yrs and I really enjoy a well made sandwich. In our pursuit of great…read moresandos, we've tried Katz Deli in NYC, Brent's in Northridge and even the sorely missed but never forgotten Miller's East Coast Deli in San Francisco. So when, tasked with finding a suitable place for our quarterly lunch meeting, I entered "Jewish deli" and "Downey" into Yelp, half expecting to find the lackluster lineup of national chains that PURPORT to make good sandwiches- Subway, Joysie Mike's, Jimmy John's and the usual suspects of sandwich sorriness! Imagine then, fellow Yelpers, when Uncle Henry's Deli appeared...as welcome a sight as my gorgeous bikini-clad wifey. Both Mick and I, who first bonded over our shared love of the national pastime, immediately likened Henry's with the MLB legend who shares my birthday- Henry Louis Aaron, aka Hamnerin' Hank and the REAL all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds and his oversized gourd, er, head be damned. In his 22yr career, Aaron belied his average size (5ft 11 tall, 185 lbs) and deployed his missile-fast wrists to smack 755 homers. All while playing in Jim Crow era Atlanta. Uncle Henry's Deli, similarly, defies expectations. Who would think of putting a Jewish-style delicatessen in Downey, famous for birthing the honey-voiced Carpenters and the self-styled "Mexican Beverly Hills?!" Mick ordered a super sized Original, which is turkey, roast beef + ham plus cheddar on white. He went with potato wedges which are sizable. Me? I chose one hot, one cold. A super sized Big B (Pastrami, Bacon + Swiss on toasted sourdough, hold the pickles) and an Egg Salad on enviably well made squaw bread, hold the tomatoes. Pro Tip- From a lifetime of ordering well made sandos in every major city in America, never put tomatoes on a cold sandwich unless you want the notoriously water-dense fruit to dampen your sandwich! The only mild drawback of my food order was the side of potato salad, which in my opinion would benefit from some black pepper and minced celery. The service at Henry's is expedient- You've barely helped yourself to one of their dark wood benches when they've called your order! The restroom was, yes, as cozy as the overall venue...but sufficiently clean + stocked. Watch out, tho- The hot water runs hotter than the devil's temperature! In closing, you can take Uncle Henry's to the bank. Yes, you'll part with upwards of a Jackson, mebbe even two. But you'll enjoy the treat, cuz the caliber of food is very bit as real as the hammer (aka Louisville Slugger) that Hamnering Hank used to bash all of his home runs with.

    Horrible Ambience of Suspicion and Distrust at Aloha Liquor Store on Stewart and Gray and Lakewood…read morein Downey. The guy at the counter has always been personable but today he showed that he's just another liquor store owner who visits his prejudices upon his customers. I escorted my wife in in order to buy lottery tickets for her father. As she did that I went to the water section to perhaps make a selection but I decided against it. As I approached my wife at the counter the young guy purposefully and with intent looked down concentratedly into my white colored shopping bags. It was a focused, view he took, he was obviously trying to see inside the bags to look for merchandise he erroneously and quite foolishly suspected me of stealing. All I had in the bags were a few pieces of Rocky Mountain Chocolate candy and my wife's leftover breakfast from Ruby's Diner in the 2 small bags, as we'd been to the Citadel Outlets; we didn't buy anything else there because she took ill and we had to return early. But back to the store counter, the guy was practicing appearance-based discrimination and he was visually subtly accusing me of shoplifting. He knew it and I knew it. He resented being called out on it so his true persona surfaced. I held up my bags to him stating, "I'm not a shoplifter so don't look into my bags like that, come on." He pretended to not understand me. After I repeated myself, he angrily said, "It's MY STORE, I'll look at whatever I Want to!" I laughed, because he'd just admitted to practicing the prejudice and discrimination I'd just accused him of. He then tried ridiculing me to my wife: "Are YOU with him?" The guy isn't the kind and cool dude he pretends to be. He's just another heavily-accented liquor peddler who doesn't trust anyone and isn't afraid to show it. He thinks he can mistreat, openly discriminate against, and visit his prejudices upon cash paying American and (US veteran) customers. He told me not to come back. I wouldn't come back, trust me. Just look at my other reviews and see how other people like him have treated me and one will see that I do not suffer fools. I'm not going to spend my money at places where I'm assumed to be dishonest. And why would I want to after being accused of shoplifting? Does this guy know what's going on in this country right now? People like him and me are being openly discriminated against, and being victimized by racists and anti-ethnic prejudice...I'm a USC grad, an Army and Navy veteran, and I've worked for the District Attorney's Office...The Aloha liquor store guy thought he was going to treat me like a common store thief and discriminate against me and I wasn't going to say anything.

    Love this place, They have some of the coldest beer around…read more The owner Brian is friendly and very outgoing. I like how he makes a special connection with each guest, shows he really has a good bond with his ppl.
