Silky O'Sullivan's, Memphis

Located in the heart of Memphis nightlife, at the corner of Beale Street and B.B. King Blvd, Silky O'Sullivan's is a large place extending for three buildings. The caveat to this is that the second and third building appear to have caved in and been removed "except" for their front facades which are supported with steel to prevent them from falling.

Nothing really quite compares with what awaits visitors at Silky O'Sullivan's. Inside, there are two rooms, one of which is a dueling piano bar. Behind the frontages is a large "outdoor" patio with lime music. An interesting addition is the "goat" park at the West side of the patio. Visitors habitually buy beer for the goats out on the patio, who have developed quite a taste for it and will suck the whole thing down. The beer-loving goats entertain the crowd when they climb the tower.

Apart from the relaxing live blues or the dueling piano show, this Irish pub serves up Southern grub with ice-cold beer and a good choice of cocktails from their comprehensive wet bar in a raucous college atmosphere, which is an ideal combination for a pleasant evening.
