Tonight was my fifth visit to Sully's and as usual, after walking through the door my nose was assaulted with the disgusting stench of dirty bar. I bartended 6 years at a college bar, I know not every bar will be pristine and smell like roses, but this bar smells like garbage that has been allowed to sit, rot, and grow more garbage friends. Thankfully I grew nose blind quickly. And then was reminded why Sully's feels like "The Hawk" of Kansas City.
My boyfriend and I proceeded to stand at the bar and wait for a drink without acknowledgement for a solid 15 minutes. At a busy bar this would be understandable if not acceptable. At a bar with 20 patrons, this is inexcusable. The female bartender was working her ass off but the male bartender was far more interested in socializing with regulars, and his behavior is a theme at every single one of our visits. It generally seems to take 4-5 people waiting for drinks before he decides to finally get off his ass and actually make a drink. He finally noticed us and made our drinks, but did not offer fruit with our mixed drinks. Awesome. Sully's also got rid of the dart boards up front (the only reason we came here) so we went to the game room in the back to play darts. Every single table within eye sight was covered in dirty glassware and empty plastic cups until 4 dart games in, I got annoyed and cleared them myself. There were also pieces of a broken beer bottle on the floor (just pieces, indicating it was partially cleaned up, but half assed). This place is more poorly managed than the college bars in Lawrence I've seen managed by 22 year olds. I love the young vibe and affordable pricing but dear lord please get your shit together or we will have to give up on this place.
