Great spot to "turn up" at if you're not feeling like heading to Old Market. The beer is cheap, the bathrooms are nice (women's at least), and the crowd always ranges from 21-50+ year olds. A great "dive bar" to bring your friends, grab a table, devour some popcorn (before realizing you're far too intoxicated to exchange numbers with the hottie you keep flirting with at the bar and need to head down the street to Night Owl). The Blackstone district is slowly becoming my favorite spot to go to... Great vibe in here. Every time I've been, there's been NO cover! Anyone up for a game of shuffleboard? Loser buys the next round!

While I have many fond memories of it's previous location across the street (now Archetype), the new location is simply way better. Sure, Sulivan's has lost its divey-ness, but swapping it out for a much larger space that is dark and cozy and comfortable was definitely the right move. Head there on Thursdays for some of the best karaoke in town. Head there on a Wednesday afternoon for a couple day drinks and some shuffleboard. Really, head here anytime and have a great time. Sullivan's is the long-time west end anchor of the Blackstone District, and there's good reason way.

Stopped in for a couple last minute drinks this past Friday...Really liked the decor inside, and luckily there weren't that many people there...Bartenders were friendly, and while I didn't enjoy paying what I paid for my drink, that's also because I'm spoiled by the low prices dive bars offer lol and this is most certainly not a dive bar...I'd be glad to come back since I had a pretty good time while I was here...

Having spent some time in the previous Sullivan's over the years I knew the vibe of the bar enough to see the differences in the new location across the street. I was never a regular and usually ended up there with friends that enjoy the bar. It was always a neighborhood bar that was lived in and divey, but the nice kind of divey....maybe it was just old school. Anyway the new place is across the street and the area around it is building up with eateries, brew houses and coffee shops. The new Sullivan's has large windows and window seats for people watching, and open seating that is very conversational and when I was there the perfect level of conversation. They have good craft beers on tap and the loyal staff came along for the move. They brought over some of the memorabilia from the old Sullivan's. The bar is able to keep it's history and vibe while appealing to both regulars and new customers coming in. It's risky to move a bar with that kind of history, even across the street, but it looks to be a positive move for both the bar and the neighborhood.

I had worked so hard. The emotional content was good & i knew it. Humor, pathos, love, anger. It had it all. I just wanted it to be different, unlike anything else. opera, dance, musical theater - they had all been done. I'll never forgive her for what she did. The thought of the Moment when she ruined everything, i worked so hard towards, still haunts me. It was a rehearsed performance and She goes pulls all that work shopped trash out on the opening night. Said she thought it would be funny and i thought i would appreciate the improvisation. A total lack of professionalism on her part. I'm never again working with any of those 2-years of community theater imbeciles. I studied in Kyoto and learned semantics under herman Brownsville, i don't have to put up with this. They have free pizza on gameday (my kind of place;) and an awesome popcorn machine. earning them a 5/5 rating.

Hands down my favorite bar in omaha, the bartenders are intelligent, attentive and very approachable. Its a conversationalist's bar, chances are if you're a long time regular or brand new to Sullivan's the Bartenders do a great job of reaching out and making guests of any kind feel welcome. Great neighborhood & good prices.

Meh. It's pretty nice inside and smells like leather.

For those of you who seek a little weird coupled with cheap drinks and conversations comparing John Oliver and Jon Stewart then look no further than Sullivan's Bar on 40th and Farnam. Cozily straddled by construction and high end housing (currently under construction) Sullivan's offers a rare glimpse into what dive bars should be. Aesthetically, Sullivan's too is remodeling and moving across the street to the vacated "Cheaters" lot but those who remember the pre-moving, I say pre-moving because the bar employees are currently moving bits and pieces of the old bar across the street and into storage, where they plan on basically re-creating the old bar. However, those who remember the "old" bar will recall entering through the alley on a hot sunny day and not being able to see anything because the bar was so dark; Thursday night karaoke; the occasional cross-dresser; the bathroom doors that never fully shut; and people huddled around the Golden Tee video game. Fortunately the weirdo's, including me, who choose to patron the bar are what make it so awesome. Everyone from Medical Students to degenerates, pimps, drug addicts, mechanics, and engineers gather there and share PBR and Fireball shots. Patrick the bar tender notably is the best bartender in the city. Half Punk, Half indie, full on badass Patrick remembers your name and drink and always has something intelligent or funny to say. I imagine once the high-end condos and bistros occupy the intersection, paranoid house moms and stuffy nerds will purposely avoid the new bar on their way to organic food land and white wine-topia. They will stop and point the various bar patrons enjoying a smoke out to their children "that's what happens when you don't stay in school" or some other bullshit. Fact of the matter is people are getting soft with their choice of bars and more people need the type that Sullivan's represents: a small tight knit group of skallywags bonding over cold beverage free of the likes of pop-music and pastel pants.

Since Bones closed, this is my favorite bar in Omaha. It is divey, the bartenders are wonderful, and some nights, the music is awesome. Some nights, the music is terrible, but it is always worth coming out for at least one beer. They offer free popcorn to patrons and sometimes free hot dogs on game days. They have an awesome Pacman table. They used to have urinal cake games in the men's bathrooms that my boyfriend loved playing. And their St. Patrick Days are amazing. I am going to miss all the memories I have at this bar when they move to their new location. =[

Ah, Sully's. Granted you likely won't end up here unless you live in the neighborhood or know someone who does, and the feeling is that's favored. It's a charming step above dive. I used to live right across the street, and still enjoy stopping by when I'm in the area. The previous poster is correct: cheap drinks, fantastic juke box and the occassional live music act. Expect a very eclectic mix of people. When I went on Sunday, there was an impromptu benefit concert going on. I'd be remiss however, if I did not share my favorite part of this bar: the Ms. Pac Man table! It is my favorite, read ONLY place I sit while there, so that I might play and drink all night long. I always have a good time here, and now that Cheaters across the street is closed, we can all feel safer doing so.

I'm surprised I'm the first to review Sullivan's! Located in the heart of midtown Omaha, Sullivan's has been a staple in the neighborhood for years. Nothing fancy, nothing special, but always fun. I live in the neighborhood so I've been visiting for years. They always have a special of some sort. Monday night $1 pints are my favorite nights. They have kareoke some nights and other nights there is live music. The crowd is mixed and fun. Drinks are cheap too. So far it's the best juke box I've seen in town. They don't have any specialty drinks but the "Sully's Shooter" is only $2 and though I can't get the recipe I hear it's "FULL OF BOOZE!"

Had the special meatloaf while seated at the bar. All staff are top notch. Live jazz added to the experience.

Sullivan's prides itself on its independence, with a large craft beer selection, a place where context counts. And in a part of the planet dominated by nationwide chains, this indie stands tall, with plenty of space, it has charm, class, it's motto is "service to the N'th degree" Sullivan's proprietor Dan Houghlihan has been in the industry for over 25 years and knows how to treat his customers. I highly recommend this establishment weather you're in from out of town or if you're a local, either way you're sure to enjoy the many new friends you'll make.
