Cauliflower Soup - delish!!!
Valerie S.

My husband and I had lunch here with some friends recently. I tried the cauliflower soup and it was absolutely delicious. The Reubens, which is one of their signature dishes, were really good as well. The service was just okay though. Our friends were almost done eating before our Reubens came out, so that was a little annoying. The bartender/waitress was nice and fairly attentive but probably could have used some help cause there were a good many people there. The history behind the place was pretty neat. We will probably end up back there sometime.

Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure

Who knew there was awesomeness in Middletown, DE? Sully's Irish Pub, Delaware's oldest pub. We got the cheesesteak with mushrooms and it came with beer cheese and steak fries. This Cheesesteak was tasty. The beer cheese was very good. It was thinish so it worked its way through the cheesesteak pretty well. The fried onions and mushrooms added a lot of flavor. The roll is not a traditional cheesesteak roll. We had a major roll blowout. I think the $13.50 ($1.50 for the mushrooms) was a touch High.

This place is fantastic. I love this bar, the service is impeccable and bartenders are the best. Great food 10/10 bar

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!

5 for 5 on visits here at Sullys. Server was MJ this time, she was great!! Attentive, informative, with a great personality. Ahi tuna was awesome and you can't beat the corned beef Reuben. The burgers are always a good choice. Plus....every delicious pint of Guinness has a shamrock design on top of its creamy head...MJ mastered this skill

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 6th 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, 1/4 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?

Sully's was recommended by one of the locals. It's a pub/bar but don't think the food takes a back seat to the drinks. I had the Ruben with fries. It was fabulous, the corned beef was killer and the French fries were the best in Delaware, really better than any beach fries.

A dump where the 20 somethings go for cheap beer. The best thing is the outdoor porch and live music during the summer.

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

The interior was well decorated, with a friendly atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive to our needs. Their menu offers a good selection, with plenty of handheld items and classic Irish entrees. The portions were large and well prepared. Prices were reasonable as compared to other pubs or breweries. Overall, we would return again to sample other items on their menu.

The floor and table were in need of cleaning. We both ordered the shepherds pie which seemed like a good comfort food choice. The food arrived very quickly, but didn't look as expected. It was sort of scooped in a pile on the plate without any shape, and you couldn't see any layers. Looks aren't everything, and people make recipes differently, so we decided to still give it a try. Unfortunately, the taste was not any better. We weren't able to get past a couple bites and asked for the check. They did ask us to choose something else on the menu, but we felt it was too late for that. They offered us a refund which we appreciated. I've heard good things about the bar, and it seems like a popular place, but unfortunately the restaurant side is lacking.
