Located across the street from TD Garden North Station, this bar is a good stop before and after any event. I will sometimes stop in before Bruins games to "pre-game" and enjoy the company of my fellow fans. Sullivan's is a long narrow bar with numerous TV's and random games to pass the time before events.
The drinks here are fairly cheap and the bartenders are always good-spirited. Be prepared to pay in cash as they do not accept credit/debit cards. Our last stop in we enjoyed our time with a few friends and the bartender took care of us very well. It can get pretty packed here, but it is fairly well put together with the long bar and plenty of spots to squeeze in to get a drink.
We will continue to stop in on occasion before games and always enjoy our time here!
Sullivan's Tap is a microcosm of Boston- sports oriented with reasonably priced drinks. The bartender on my most recent trip was ready to shoot the shit and was not in the least afraid to voice his opinion. In my case, we discussed hats and how fashion has changed. Once my friends received our drinks, we played some arcade games, caused some ruckus, and overall had a fantastic time.
One draw back- cash only. Otherwise, I love Sullivan's Tap!
