"Cully Central is a sports bar in theory, but in practice, it’s a family-friendly neighborhood spot serving great Lao food, with a mighty selection of microwbrews on tap—and Beer Lao in bottles, naturally. Inside, you’ll see large screens broadcasting games, but the place to park your crew is out front on the extensive covered patio, complete with lights, hanging plants, and misters for hot days. It turns out that funky papaya salad, sticky rice, and fiery noodles are just as delicious when eaten outdoors in the Pacific NW as in SE Asia." - Krista Garcia
