Sully’s Irish Pub

This place is like an episode of Bar Rescue…
The owner appears to be an obnoxious loud drunk. He’s totally shnokered and playing darts. Screaming his own drink orders across the whole non-​airconditioned place. (When someone asked if there was AC for this 80 degree night, the staff and regulars warn «don’t poke the bear»…wtf does that mean???).
His shouted drink «orders» interrupt his pretty and attentive staff who are paying attention to HIS customers in spite of his lecherous and demeaning commentary… childish shit like deliberatley blocking servers’ paths so they have to rub past him. GROSS. ScUMmY. YUCK. He publically berated two of the experienced staff and was hitting on the very young new trainee… I wanted to shake him/​punch him/​throw up all at the same time.
The servers pour a good drink. Too bad the owner makes you feel like a drunken bar fight will break out any second!!! Nothing like having to watch your back from the proprietor! The staff just smirks embarassedly and shrugs… i guess they need the job, because i sure would have quit.

If your looking for a cozy corner pub w/​amazing craft beer, incredible food and great staff this is the place! The building is super old and has lots of history that you take the time to learn about! Really neat place, will be back for sure!

Love the shrimp and half and half soup. Cold beer and friendly staff make this a great stop on middletown.

Stopped in here a few months back with friends. Was immediately turned off by the rude bartenders!

Ducked in during the Thanksgiving holiday break as I was staying close-​by at family’s and I needed to get away from all of the estrogen from my many lovable but moody female cousins for a beer and this place was in walking distance. SCORE!
Basically an Irish dive bar located right square in the center of quaint and tiny Middletown, Delaware.
So I slammed a couple of inexpensive coldies and kept an eye on tings for a wee visit. I didn’t try the food.
Good stuff.
Cabeza, Slainte!

We had a few friends talk about how awesome Sully’s is, so the husband and I decided to check it out for the first time today. Food was amazing! The service cannot be beat, they really make you feel like family. The prices are amazing for the food that you get. I definitely recommend it. I will be back soon.

The guy with the black hair and goatee is a dick. The décor kinda sucks and it’s not hospitable

Me and my girlfriend went there to have lunch about a month ago and I didn’t expect the food to be great to be honest… It looks like any regular Irish pub with greasy pub food, but we were hungry so we gave it a try and I am glad we did! We ordered a Ruben sandwich and a ½ pound of giant shrimp. Both were fantastic! The meat on the Ruben was so fresh and moist with a great flavor and the bread wasn’t at all greasy, I might even say that it was the best Ruben I ever ate (and we order Rubens quite frequently lol). Now the shrimp I expected to be in a thick breading, deep fried; but no, they were delicious! A very thin coating of breading with seasoning and man were they huge! Definitely worth the money and I would recommend this place to anyone that is in the area.
They also have an outside eating area which is awesome and the waitresses were very nice and professional.

This place is bad… Small, run down, bar stool’s are wobbly and getting ready to fall apart. Service is slow, half the time they forget to put your order in, and rarely bring you silverware. Food is ok but will say crab cakes and hamburgers are quite good! Ordered a side dish of Veggies because not doing the carbs thing and she told me what they were. After waiting for food, she brings me fries and told me since there is only one cook today there is no substitutions, This was not a substitution but a side order I was paying for. Nope, none of those either. What the heck? I would have ordered something different, like a salad. Last time she forgot my meal, took over an hour to get ½ lb of shrimp then another 15 minutes to get the butter. I am so over the place. If you want a good meal there has to be a better place to go.

Really liked the atmosphere, the place was packed inside & out. As it happened, we were there for the running of the Kentucky Derby, and who isn’t a horse racing fan 3 days a year? I had the fish & chips, wife had the crab cake sandwich, and son had the Irish nachos. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was quite good (the owner stopped by our table several times).

I enjoy this place during off hours. I’m not sure I’d like it so much when it’s crowded. The food is good and reasonably priced. I wasn’t a fan of the ahi tuna, but burgers and fish & chips are highly recommended. I cannot say enough about the fries. They are great! No ketchup required! The staff is pleasant enough and have always offered samples of anything on tap. Looking forward to working my way through all the menu options.

So Unilocal notified me that they removed my second review. Lol. Here’s my first amendment right to tell you the in my opinion I would never eat at this restaurant. The owner was rude and so was the waitstaff. Three months ago a review was posted by «Scott M.» Stating, «The owner is a douche bag…» I find it interesting that this review does not violate Unilocal’s content guidelines while my honest review is informative, not personal, and does. Interesting.
So, here’s my review. To get into this restaurant you first need to find parking. It’s not easy. It is also not a family restaurant. You frequently will find very intoxicated people who are very loud and sometimes very rude between the inside which is one huge bar and a few tables and the outside which, if you love cigarette smoke you’ll love the outside. Even other restaurants in Delaware and the surrounding states don’t permit smoking within the perimeter of the outside dining area. It’s very uncomfortable. I was at the restaurant one night and the Guinness tasted old and was way too cold. I would love it to find one Irish restaurant that can actually pour an authentic pint of Guinness. The night I was in the restaurant I saw what could only be described as a person whom I was later informed was the owner of the restaurant yelling at a patron. I was told this frequently happens by the people sitting next to me and that they would not be back either.
The bathrooms are dirty. I can’t tell you about how clean the kitchen is because I have never seen it. Until recently the only food you could get at this place was a bag of potato chips after like 8 or 9 pm. I think I heard they are serving food now.
Additionally, the night I was at the restaurant they were trying to charge us for drinks that we did not order. They tried to pull a fast one on us, and I find that to be a terrible business practice.
Now, this is my review of this restaurant based on my experience. When I consult this app, it is to determine whether or not I want to roll the dice or be as certain as possible when I put my money into eating anywhere other than my own kitchen. If you start asking for only positive reviews, or you tell someone they are negative, then what’s the point? When I review a restaurant that I feel is good, I will rate it as such. I eat out no less than 4 times a week and I can honestly say that I have eaten at some of the finest restaurants on the east coast from Boston to Miami. I’ve dined in Michelin rated restaurants and I’ve dined at five star restaurants. I have also eaten at «dives»: some were good… some I wouldn’t go back to.
The bottom line is if you are in the hospitality business you are in the public eye. If you don’t like the review, maybe you need to change the way you treat your customers or at least what you let them see while they are in your establishment. But that’s just MY opinion.

Great service and great location. It’s a pub and a good one. Best fish and chips I have had on this side of the Atlantic.

I found this place randomly on Unilocal on my way to Middletown from Newark. I am so glad I came across it. It was absolutely great one. The servers are always friendly and quick.

Sully’s is your local Irish pub/​dive bar. Food is from Middletown Seafood and pretty good. Wings are good. Cold craft beer is good. Very casual atmosphere and live music now and then. Staff is pretty nice — we prefer it on a less busy day or evening.
Outside seating is available but it doubles as the smoking area.

Sitting here right now with my boyfriend and we haven’t even gotten our check yet, but I feel so strongly against this place I have to write a review. The food was gross, so bland and overpriced. My chicken sandwich which was supposed to be on a kaiser roll was served on a glorified hot dog bun smothered in what was supposed to be ranch sauce. And my double vodka and soda cost $ 8 but was so watered down that I couldn’t even finish it. Save your time and money and go anywhere else but here.

Crappy service, dirty bathrooms, no food to offer, except bags of chips. Some live entertainment and that sucked too… Poor beer selection

Congratulations!
Of all the restaurants I have ever dined in, this has to be the worst. I came in one Sunday afternoon with a couple of golf buddies for a couple of beers and a sandwich. BIG MISTAKE. The overpowering smell of mold should have been enough of a clue to dissuade us from continuing, but we were in a hurry and hungry. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it had to be at least a week old. I picked around the really gross parts, and fortunately did not get sick. The really amazing thing was the beer sucked, too. Obviously the beer lines had not been cleaned in months. Flat, warm, off flavors abounded. How do you screw up beer? They do! just terrible.

Stopped in because of a recomendation from a local person. The place is nice, not fancy, full of the history of the locals and the area. The food was very good. I had the crab cake sandwich. It was fresh and very tasty, not a huge proportion but enough. My husband had the Buffalo Chicken sandwich. He said it was very good as well. Would go back again, and recommend it to anyone looking for casual dining.

No frills no thrills type bar.
Old, young and pretty damn spacious (the bar you pervs).
Lots and lots of friendly staff, mixed in with a very very interesting crowd. I won’t elaborate as I like to make people use their imagination.
I don’t know if it was me but that night I was there, it seemed I was dead set on drinking everything in the bar. Whiskey. Vodka. Fireball shots… everything. What was even more impressive was every time I went back to the bar to buy a round, my drinks kept getting cheaper and cheaper.
They had a live acoustic set which was getting in the way of my alcohol consumption but once they finished, I was no longer at time out. Full steam ahead.
But I did manage to pick up some key notes: whoever you order a shot from will pour you a different measurement. The one male bartender/​server only served shots in the mini plastic shot glasses. We’re not in 6^th grade buddy. This other female bartender would serve shots in the regular shot glasses, concave shaped. Ok. The best female bartender (didn’t get name or pics — I can’t creep in a different state — I’m from NYC ya’ll) would pour all our shots into a rocks glass, ¼ the way. It tasted more like 2 shots. Yes, I measured. I thought her first pour was a fluke accident so I proceeded to experiment. Ordered a round from male tender 1, no. Ordered a round from female tender 2. eh. Ordered a round through my home girl tender 3, score.
The outdoor seating is also nice but we left that area for the folk looking for some serious conversation. Mr. Rogers much?
