From Cleaning Pools to Owning a Legend: The Wild Story Behind Kelly’s Korner Tavern
from P-Town Pulse Podcast · host Jordan Harris
We’re hanging out at Placentia’s own Kelly’s Korner Tavern to chat with owner Jim Rafferty about how he went from cleaning pools to running a local legend. Jim gets real about the chaos of buying a bar with zero experience and the literal "growing pains" of turning a former real estate office into a top tier neighborhood spot. We get into how the tavern survived the craziness of the pandemic, their dedication to supporting local high school sports, and the secret behind that scratch kitchen menu that puts typical frozen bar food to shame.Whether it’s a deep dive into the perfect (funny named) chicken sandwich or a look at how new health trends are changing the way we drink beer, this episode is a lighthearted tribute to the community spirit that keeps the taps flowingKelly's Korner Tavern is located at 907 E Yorba Linda Blvd, Placentia, CA 92870.See their menu: https://www.kellys92870.com/#KellysKornerTavern #PlacentiaCA #PTownPulse #OrangeCountyFood #OCBars #SmallBusinessStories #BarOwner #NeighborhoodSpot #PlacentiaCalifornia #OrangeCountyNightlife #SportsBar #ScratchKitchen #BestBurgers #PrimeRibDip #LocalLegend #DiveBarVibes #TavernLife #BarBusiness #RestaurantReality #CommunityStrong #SupportLocal #OCFoodies #PlacentiaDining #HospitalityIndustry #BarHistory #GrownUpBar #HiddenGems #OrangeCountyCA #SocialDrinking #BarVlog #PlacentiaPulse #TavernFood #BurgerLovers #OrangeCountyEvents #CaliforniaBars #SmallBizOwner #LocalHangout #OrangeCountyDining #PlacentiaFood #BarLife #PubCulture #HospitalityLife #CommunityImpact #LocalBusinessOwner #OCRestaurants #BarSpecial #EatLocal #DrinkLocal #PTown #OrangeCounty
