Archetypal neighborhood bar with a ton of atmosphere and character, nicknamed 'Sully's'. Locals drop in for a drink, and everyone is very friendly. If the drunk old-timer likes you, he'll buy you a beer and sing old fashioned tunes while others join in. You could go straight from work and feel comfortable or after a soffball game and not feel out of place. Very casual, not at all trendy, and great jukebox. Bonus: Trivia Nights on Wednesdays and Karaoke night on Thursdays.
