This is a review based on a St. Patrick's Day weekend experience, so take it for what it's worth. The place was obviously packed considering the holiday. Took 2 hours to get a table but the waiting around was a lot of fun. Everyone was standing, waiting for a table and drinking. People were so incredibly friendly. The Irish band was great, the food and drink (primarily Guinness and Conway's Irish Ale for me) were good. The best part again was the fun loving crowd! For a tiny place in the heart of downtown Medina, I don't think you will find a much better place close by.
Review Source:First off, why would Yelp say that Sully's is closed today? On St. Patricks Day? Come on. So, I've been to Sully's at least ten times but never written a review, I don't believe (it's been a while). On this occasion I didn't have any food, I was here to pick up my Irish dancing daughter who was arriving via party bus (is it bad that I made her drive me home because she has her temp license and I had too much to drink?). Any ways, the times I have had food here, the quality has always been good. Great sandwiches, Reuben's, appetizers, etc. Â Also, the ambiance is always fun and the people nice. Â Lastly - and I kid you not - Jack Black is one of the bartenders!
Review Source:Stopped in during the Ice Fest. They were very busy.
The food wasn't really anything to write home about and the service was very sub par. Our server lacked personality and seemed like he really didn't want to be there.
Appetizer of mozzarella sticks came out after our entrees of 2 wraps, grilled salmon and a kids hot dog. The kids hot dog came about 5 minutes after the rest. Don't most kids meals come out first with the appetizer?
Wouldn't suggest it to anyone. I understand there may have been more traffic than normal but nothing made me feel like I wanted to return to eat.
I can see the reasons for the poor service complaints. Â I sat at the bar and we were the only ones there. Â Although it wasn't that bad, everyone seemed to congregate at the other end of the bar and my service wasn't real good due to this. Â The food was very good, and the prices were reasonable. Â I will be back. Â I don't know if the people in charge read these reviews or not, but they should. Â HINT!! Â Get a REAL open sign. Â I walked up to the door and almost left because I thought you were closed. Â I watched a party of 6 and 4 walk almost to the door then turn around and leave. Â Clearly they thought you were closed too. Â Plus put a complete correct list of the hours of operation on your door.
Review Source:We ordered fried pickles, the potato leek soup and corned beef and cabbage. Â The soup was good (it tasted a lot like clam chowder). Â Everything was salty. Â The cabbage seems like it is fried with onions and it is great. Â I would pass on the fried pickles next time.
The bathrooms were not great but okay. Â One of the staff yelled "Dammit" REALLY loud while we were there and we were all wondering if someone lost a finger in the kitchen or something (we were peeking in the window to the kitchen to see if something was wrong, but we didn't see anything).
Nobody refilled my iced tea, which was a disappointment and there are only two high chairs (not enough)!
When the place  first opened it was very good.  The food was fresh and very tasty.  Every since those first visits the food and service has been on a downward slide.  My last visit featured a broken toothpick in my corned beef sandwich.  They didn't even comp the meal, they acted like it was my fault.  The owner walks around like he just swallowed a turd.  Avoid this place!
Review Source:An Irish Pub in Medina, Ohio. Amazing! Very good food and service, music during the week and it seems like it has been there for years, and yet it is fairly recent.
Burgers are good. Mussels and clams are delish! I also love their crabcakes, which do tend to vary in amount of crab, but are most always good!!
Service is excellent and they serve hard cider! Not many places that do and they have a great selection.
I am new to the Medina area although from the Cleveland area. Â I asked a few friends for some suggestions on what local places to hit up and Sully's came up on more than one occasion. Â So when my husband and I wanted to go out one night to celebrate we decided to give it a try. Â To be honest I'm usually wary of Irish pubs since they don't always have the best food in my experience, but my sources said the food was good!
Upon entering the place it was unusually bright for a pub. Â I prefer the darkly lit, cozy feel rather than the bright lights but I was absolutely willing to overlook that. Â All of the booths were taken and it was seat yourself so we hopped up to the only remaining pub table. Â It was quite wobbly but we found a piece of cardboard on the floor that someone had shoved under the leg so we shoved it back in to avoid the annoyance. Â My friend told me their Reuben Egg Rolls appetizer was great and the waitress further convinced us so we decided to give it a try. Â Until we found out they were out? Â A minor setback but we were dissapointed. Â We ordered a couple beers and a different appetizer (Guinness Cheese Dip) which was good.
After waiting for about an hour and a half we were brought our dinner. Â Him, the Guinness Beer Battered Haddock and me, my old stand-by the Turkey Reuben. Â The haddock was well received though it was accompanied by a different "vegetable of the day" than communicated by the waitress. Â Not a huge deal but he did specifically ask before ordering so he would know what to expect.
My Turkey Reuben was aweful. Â It consisted of all dark meat turkey with barely a sprinkling of coleslaw. Â I often order the Turkey Reuben. Â It's a sandwhich I generally know I'll like and be satisified with. Â This is the first time ever that this sandwich was brought out with entirely dark turkey meat. Â I was not a fan.
In the mean time, my husband was desperately trying to get beer number two and had to track down a different waitress than our own to get one. Â He was extra thirsty since the water he had asked for with his beer never came.
Perhaps we had some bad luck this night because it seemed like everything that could go wrong did. Â We tried to just laugh it off but the waitress did notice. Â She comped our bill $10 which in all honesty didn't feel like enough. Â We went out for a nice night and had a lot of poor service. Â Any one of the incidents taken by themselves probably wouldn't have been a big deal but combine them all and you feel like you may as well have stayed home and made your own dinner.
Not a place high on my list to revisit or recommend.
Sully's is a great little Irish pub in Medina. My fiance and I dined here on a Saturday afternoon in June after an event we had attended in Medina, but before we had another event to attend that evening. I don't know if there is parking lot at Sully's or how crowded it is, for we walked there that day (not a good choice, as it ended up pouring later! Oh well). We were on about a 2 hour time limit, and that was no problem at Sully's. The service was great and very fast! There was even a huge group of 10 or so at the table next to us but our service was still very good. All of the waitresses, not just our waitress, kept checking on us and making sure everything was great. My fiance had a couple of beers and I had one of the mixed drinks on special, it was very good but I forget what it was called. My fiance got the Guiness BBQ Chicken Sandwich, which he said was good, and I got the Chicken Wrap. It was delicious! I couldn't even eat all of it because it was so big, so I took half of it home. We had a good experience at Sully's and I would definitely go back. Prices are reasonable, too.
Review Source:An in-the-know co-worker brought me here for lunch, and I must say I was pleased. Â Open, bright space with ample booth and table seating. Â Friendly, knowledgeable waitresses. Â Signage showed some good beer specials and regular live music.
I tried the fish sandwich, which was beer battered haddock. Â The fillet was large, thick, white and flaky. Â Batter was well seasoned and crispy. Â I would recommend this (and get it again myself).
My partner went with the Reuben, which looked lean and delicious. Â He devoured it, so it must have also been good.
The menu looked great, and I wouldn't mind stopping back after work to have a beer and one of their tasty looking apps - Reuben egg rolls, mussels, fried pickles, Guiness cheese dip, etc, etc!
I was in Medina last weekend for my best friend's wedding. Â The night before, a bunch of us went to Sully's and it really captures the essence of the Akron area. Â When we were walking in, there was a biker festival across the street and a bunch of gruff looking guys in a band singing the national anthem. Â Classic! Â
Once I walked in, I found more bikers and a sweet irish live band. Â A decent sized bar with awesome Great Lakes Brew Co craft beers on tap, Sully's offers a comfortable spot with a VERY diverse group. Â We saw everyone from kids in their early 20's to senior citizen couples all boozing it up. Â What else do you expect in Akron?
The best part of the night was getting my tab. Â I bought a round for the group earlier in the night. Â For 14 drinks my tab was something like $55. Â If I ever (and I don't expect to) return to Medina, I'll be spending another Friday night with friends at Sully's. Â Awesome spot.
For an Irish pub, this place has some great food offerings such as steamed mussels and some wonderful wings. I was surprised by the level of quality put into these culinary creations. They have a large selection of brews on tap that are often rotated with seasonal offerings. Many of NE Ohio's better Irish themed bands have played here at one time or another which makes this a fun place to be on any given weekend.
Review Source:Always heard nice things of Sully's, never been. Â Wife and I had a free afternoon without the kids so we went to check it out for ourselves. Â Sure am glad we did. Â
Ordered the Sully fries with kraut and cheese on them. Â They come with a mayo horshradish sauce that you use as a dip. Â Trust me,you'll want 2.. Â Amazing.
I ordered the fish sandwich, comes on a keiser roll, tomato onion, lettuce and tarter sauce. Â I don't know if our was the beer batter or the tarter that made this sandwich but the combo of them both made it a great choice! Â Highly recommended.
My wife ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. Â A good sandwich but could have used a bit more of their home made bbq to sauce it up a bit.
Home made chips for or side were tasty and a good option since we already stuffed ourselves on the fries. Â
Wait staff were friendly and attentive. Â Going to go back for some live music some Friday evening soon. Â Should be fun.
Having grown up in Medina my whole life I am glad there is finally a place I can spend time at that isn't a dive bar.  The people seem to always  be having fun when they are at Sully's.  They have a great selection of beers especially all of my favorite Irish beers like Guinness, Harp and others.  I enjoy the live music but the volume of the music can get kind of loud.  My favorite Irish band ever played there during the summer of 2009 and it was amazing!  My friend Kieron from County Kildare, Ireland came to visit Medina that same summer of 2009.  He used to own a pub in Naas in County Kildare.  He loved Sully's.  It is his favorite Irish pub in the United States.
Review Source:Okay, I have very mixed feelings about Sully's. Â I always seem to have a good time when I go there, but is it because of the pub or because of the company (also, I'm usually not paying). Â
Drinks are pretty expensive. Â A $6 beer is pretty steep. Â It is definitely one of the more expensive bars that I have visited.
The food is decent. Â It's nothing spectacular, but it does the job. Â Again, probably more expensive than it needs to be. Â
The building itself is extremely nice. Â It used to be an old machine shop. Â They did a great job renovating. Â However, every time i have been in there it is deafeningly loud. Â I have to yell across the table to speak to anyone. Â There was a live band one night, and if there is one thing that I don't need, it is ear-splitting, mediocre folk music.
Sully's is a nice place to go, but is it really worth it? Â I don't know...
Full disclosure: Â We just happened to show up at Sully's on the very night of Sully's 60th birthday. Â They were decorating the tables, balloons hung from the tin ceiling, the place was packed, we waited about a half hour for a table. Â We may have been the only people there who didn't personally know Sully. Â (Nor did anyone introduce us, which most certainly would have happened in Ireland. Â Or Italy, or any other European country. Â Or most U.S. cities. Â Or perhaps we stink. Â Who knows?)
Drinks were on the expensive side, service was disjointed while still friendly, volume was on the bleeding-ear scale and food was cafeteria quality. Â Fun bunch of drunks, though! Â We waited nearly as long after dinner, just for the waitress to take our money. Â Fun bunch of drunks, though, including the staff!
I'll go back for a re-review on a night that isn't quite so epic.
I love a good Irish pub, and was sorely disappointed by Sully's. First of all, $6 for a pint of Harp's? In Medina? That's more than I pay for comparable beer in LA or NY. I also found the fish and chips -- classic pub food -- to be weak. The fish was merely okay -- breaded, not battered -- and the fries weren't fresh. Worst of all was the side vegetable: over-steamed, limp, watery brocolli with a fake cheese sauce on top. My husband didn't fare much better with the "sheperd's pie", which turned out to be stew with a scoop of mashed potatoes on top. No! Sheperd's pie is supposed to have a layer of mashed potatoes on top, and the whole thing should be baked so that the potatoes are browned on top.
Review Source:Well I went here again, just today actually and still a fan! I started off the night with a special Irish Red brewed just for Sully's and fried boxty taters and their Guinness cheese dip. Â The beer was $4.75 for a pint and the appetizer like 6 bucks. Good food and value, I then ordered the shepherd's pie. HUGE, I could only take away half of the meal and I am no light eater. Â It isn't overly complicated or complex food but that is Irish cuisine. If you see some crazy looking Irish dish, it probably isn't a genuine Irish meal. They have a great line up of live bands too, check them out!
