Laotian food & extensive beer selection in casual sports bar
"This Lao restaurant and beer bar, named for the street on which it sits, is home to a cozy patio, flowers hanging from the ceiling among heaters and string lights. Here, visitors dip spoons into steaming bowls of Lao noodle soups, like khao poon, a Lao curry broth with vermicelli, or khao piak sen, a pristine chicken broth soup with hand-made rice noodles. The patio is dog-friendly, as well, so you can knock back a pilsner while your pup hangs out next to you." - Thom Hilton
"Cully Central is a Lao sports bar that serves spicy soups and stir-fried noodles, all for under $15. This house-turned-bar has plenty of TVs for watching the game, and even a children’s play area for when you’re just drunk enough to show off those building block skills. Order a Beerlao - a popular Lao brand of beer - or choose from one of the many craft beers and CBD-infused sparkling waters available." - krista garcia
"Part beer bar, part Laotian restaurant, Cully Central walks the line between destination and neighborhood stalwart beautifully. Kids dunk egg rolls into soy sauce and gnaw on corn dogs while their parents bite into intricately spiced Lao sausages and banana leaf-steamed chicken. Some visit the restaurant for family celebrations, ordering a pre-set menu covering the table in salads, fried snacks, and other quintessential Laotian dishes. Others just pop by for a beer and an order of fish sauce wings. Either way, it’s a hit." - Eater Staff

"Cully Central is a brightly lit, family-friendly sports bar serving traditional Laotian food alongside Oregon craft beers. Try the savory, deep-fried Lao beef jerky with fish sauce paired with chile-dense papaya salad; or the nam khao, a crispy rice salad paired with long lettuce leaves to make crunchy wraps. The casual atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy a Fort George beer while the kids run around in the restaurant’s designated play area."
