I will always love Sully's... There is no better place to grab beers before a Bruins game. The staff is local and that's what makes it great. Where else can you have pizza with the tender? Happy Travels!TimothyOLA Travel & Leisure "Traveling The World, Together"

Out of Guinness the first time I went. Guinness was warm and smelled off the second time. They need a good line cleaning and better cooling Perlick" setup. Draft beer should be cold. Stick to bottles.

Longest bar with the worst service. Don't waste your time going here.The bartender didn't even look at us when we were sitting right next to people he was serving.

Sully's has been our go-to place before games & concerts at the Garden, but our most recent visit was REAL disappointing. Half the vintage Boston Sports Memorabilia has been removed from the walls (down on the Canal St Side anyways) which is half the mystique of the bar. Someone clearly didn't plan the weekend properly because the bar was out of Bud Light and Coors Light, but when I asked the bartender what I could have his response was 'whatever you want my man'....clearly not. It seems like a much younger staff, maybe they're not as experienced yet because while I don't think they meant ill, but they tried to prop the bar door open while guests were inside....it was 30 degrees out and flooded the bar with the smell of cigarettes. Hoping it was just a bad day, and they're able to get back to the same identity that made the place so lovable to those of us who don't want the uber-fancy new-wave club style bars where patrons have to over pay for the flair for a bottle of beer.

Stopped in after a Bruins game for a beer with my brother in law and nephew. I held the door open for them and two strangers so I was the last one in. As I was reaching for my id (I’m 50 with grey hair but I know the drill) the bouncer said “you’re not getting in here tonight, I didn’t like the way you came through the door”. I had one beer at the game in the first period! Told me there were plenty of other bars in the neighborhood. Would’ve loved to have gone anywhere else but my guys were inside so I walked to the other entrance where I was welcomed in. Last time I stop there after a game.

They offer bag storage for those that happen to forget that you can't bring in large bags to a TD place game night. Thank you so much for the excellent service and smooth transaction. $10 a bag and just a few blocks away, saved me a lot of trouble of heading back to my hotel and I enjoyed the rest of my Bruins game tonight. Thanks guys.

Nice bar, reasonable drink prices and a good selection on tap. Really close to TD Garden and just enough off the path that it wasn't packed right before the show we went to

Great place for drinks before a game! The bar is cash only so be prepared. They do have an ATM in the back by the pool table. I went the night of a Bruins game so it was a little packed but the service was quick nonetheless. I recommend. Check it out before a game it's a minute from the Garden!

A dive bar in a hot bed of bars and restaurants, so you know they're doing something right- and that's serve cold beer (cash only) to sports fans. Great hockey crowd before and after games, even if your'e an opposing fan coming to see a game. Go Flyers.

Went to watch a Celtics game. Even though the TV's lost signal right before tipoff the bartender was apologetic and friendly. They have arcade games and a pool table. It is also across from the TD Garden so going to the bar before or after an event is a must. I also believe they can check bags for a small fee for people that bring them to the Garden and didn't realize the Garden has a "no bag" policy.

If I could give 0 I would this was the worst experience i have ever had. I have never been denied entry into a bar. They say they are open until 2am. It was after the Celtics game at 1130 and I was told “we’re not letting anyone else in” by a rude man at the door. There was hardly anyone in there so I believe this is a hate crime. You should really get your act together. DO NOT GO HERE. it’s trash inside anyways and smells like pee so I know I didn’t miss anything.

RIP Sully's you were the greatest sports bar pre and post Celtics games. I'll always miss your cheap drinks, fun physical arcade games and the never forgettable smell of bleach and piss mixed together. I love you Sully's and I'm sad to see what overpriced trendy sports bar will replace you. Long live the longest bar in Boston.

Dive bar by North station. Two entrances, one on each side of the building. Great lively crowd for Bruins games! They don't serve food but they have a decent draft beer selection and a full liquor bar. Decent amount of bar seats and they have some game machines and a pool table as well.

If you're ever in Boston and you end up coming to the Celtics game you got to check out Sullivan's tap it's a local dive that we've been coming to as kids and as adults. A little rowdy crowd if you're not from these parts it's going to feel a little sketchy but it's the best nothing but love here until the bouncer start kicking you out because you drinking past closing time welcome to Boston definitely get a beer here or some shots🍻🍺🍷
