Sully's Snowgoose Saloon (Seattle, Washington U.S.A.)


Sully's Snowgoose Saloon  Located at the corner on Phinney Avenue North and North 62nd Avenue Seattle, Washington U.S.A.  My niece Shannon, her guy Chuck and his sister Carolyn  happened to be in Seattle on vacation when they passed by this place on the bus and thought I would be interested in trying it out.  So one day Carolyn, myself and my far better half tried it out.  The building was built quite a while ago, but the saloon has been here for 40 years. They have a couple of stuffed snow geese mounted.  There s a high peaked ceiling, and it is not a very big place. It has a bit of an Irish theme to it.  There is a 10 person sit up bar.  They have 2- 4 person booths, 2 pub high tables seating 2 to 4, there are a couple of other tables and a table for 5 in front of the fire place. Very much a local neighbourhood saloon (tavern). A lot of the people who came in on the late Friday afternoon we were there all knew each other.  Apparently dogs are allowed in too as there were two, one in the booth behind us on a leash and the other that every one seemed to know wandered around freely visiting with every one and belonged to one of he patrons.  There is a sidewalk patio out front. On tap they have 27 different types of beer and one cider.  They serve food but We didn't eat here as there was only the bartender working and she had to do the cooking too, she said it could take a while.  They offer burgers, pizza, hot-dogs, a few sandwiches and nachos.  The men's washroom.....not the nicest I have been in.  the girls didn't venture in to the women's restroom.  One event of note is the "Sullys April fools World Championship Pie Joust".  We spoke to one of the regulars who explained it to us.  He said it is held every April fools, and contestants ride bicycles and have a pie in hand and joust trying to hit the other rider n the face with a cream pie as they ride past. He said to get there early as it is extremely popular.  I would love to see this, participate, not likely!!  I can't make it this year but in the future who knows.  If you are looking or fancy and refined this isn't the place for you. An eclectic place for sure, but we enjoyed ourselves and the bartender was great.  As we were leaving a second employee arrived to help out.
