  Pros: Good beer selection; 25 cents buys you two games of pinball on the old school machines, the atmosphere is laid back (almost to the point of falling over), and they have a nice fireplace like box outside and really what goes better with beer than fire?

  Cons: Bathrooms are quite a scene and there’s no room for any sort of a kitchen, though I’ve seen people with baskets of peanuts to munch on.

  Oh, and I’m pretty sure you can order a Mac n’ Jacks without getting scowled at like they do across the street.

  classic, where else (besides Blue Moon or similar, way far away) can you sleep on the bar? Sully’s rocks!

  Testosterone city. The service was friendly though.

  Tremendous. About as old-school as Seattle is capable of these days. Servers are sometimes taciturn, but always attentive. Pinball is great. There’s a guy there from Boston seemingly every night, and he’s a loud, drunken tool. Also, once The Bubble Man came in and blew bubbles in people’s faces and I thought I might have to abandon my vow to Be the Change I Wish to See in the World and kick his purple-clad ass, but, happily, he soon vacated the premises. Sully’s is wonderful and cozy and we are lucky to have it and you should go there.

  Contrary to Mike’s post above, there is a kitchen. The fare is limited, but usually pretty tasty. The nachos are the thing to get here.

  But the food isn’t why we go to Sully’s. We go because it just has a great atmosphere to hang out, talk, and enjoy some free time.

  Didn’t Sully (the building owner) steal this bar from those who actually built it and made it what it is?

  That alone makes me hesitant to go there

  As I heard it, years and years ago, the previous owner refused to release the original name of the bar (which isn’t coming to me) and now owns Reading Gaol. time to let go and give Sully’s a chance. The building alone makes it a Phinney landmark.

  Was it called The Bohemian once upon a time?

  It was “La Boheme” and a pool table was jammed in half the space, if you can imagine (it’s small). Too bad it couldn’t keep the name. Wonder if there’s any more to tale of the name change per Aaron’s post?
