The Sullivan Public House

The Write-Up

The full story

The Sullivan Public House fills the historic Imperial building on East 1st Street in Sanford with hand carved wood, a copper ceiling, and dim, welcoming light. Guests come for what they call the best Guinness pour in all of Sanford, cold pints, and a deep Irish whiskey selection. Order shepherd's pie, fish and chips, scotch eggs, or the meatloaf sandwich on house made soda bread, with potato and garlic soup to start.
