Located at 110 Grand Avenue in West Des Moines, Sully’s is the oldest Irish bar in the Des Moines metro area and they offer great Happy Hour specials including 2-for-1s on Thursdays.

Please welcome Sully's Irish Pub to the BIKEIOWA Team!

Sully's is under new ownership and they are bicycle-friendly! Located near Walnut Creek Trail, Sands Volleyball, Rasmussen Bike Shop and Valley Junction, there is no reason not to stop by, say hello, and enjoy their 2-for1 beer specials on their cool covered patio!

We wanted to get to know the owners - Bill and Amy by asking them a few questions. We are excited to have them on-board and we hope you are too!

Q: We've been to Sully's hundreds of times in the past. We know you are new owners. What can you tell us about the new owners, and any changes to Sullys and/or reasons to get cyclists to come to Sullys.

We are very excited to partner with the bicycling community and BIKEIOWA. We have many friends that are very involved with biking and we enjoy it as well.

We would like to encourage more bikers to come to Sully’s.

For anyone cycling to Farmers Market on Thursdays, drop by and check out our Thursday special. 2-for-1 domestic draw & bottled beer and wells every Thursday from 3pm to 2am.

Q: Who is behind Sullys?

We are long-time customers of Sully’s and are close friends with many of the regular crowd. We have spent a lot of time in Sully’s throughout the years and enjoy the laid-back, friendly atmosphere.

Bill has many years of experience in the bar industry, working at and managing various bars over the years. Amy is an actuary that works for a local insurance company. Together, we also own a lawn-care and snow removal business, so we like to keep busy.

Other things we enjoy doing are playing cards, volleyball, biking & camping. We are avid Chicago Cubs fans (come to Sully’s for $2 Old Style Tallboys for any Cubs games).

We are also very passionate about traveling and do at least several trips throughout the year.

Q: What is Sullys niche?

Sully’s is the oldest Irish bar in the Des Moines metro area! Sully’s was established in 1977 and has been Des Moines’ premier Irish Pub serving cold beer ever since.

Sully’s is known for the biggest and best St. Patrick’s Day Tent Party and there is no cover charge for our party.

Sully’s is a wonderful place to meet friends any time of the year. It’s known for its friendly regulars and the feel of a cozy neighborhood bar.

Q: When will your Grand opening be? and what kinds of specials/ activities are planned?

Our Grand Opening will be the weekend of May 31st / June 1st. We will have some pretty amazing beer and drink specials going on all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday of that weekend, so come down and help us celebrate with $1.50 domestic draws, $2 domestic bottles, $2 wells and $5 domestic pitchers all weekend!

Q; What else do you want cyclists to know about Sullys?
