The Black & Tan

Most medium sized towns in the US (and, weirdly, Germany) have an Irish pub. I really can't say why that is, but it's always nice to go into a bar and essentially know what's on tap and what the food options are. John Sullivan's is a perfect example. There will be people who feel it's the same as every other Irish pub, some sort of formulaic archetype, but I'm grateful for it. Within this oeuvre John Sullivan's is excellent. This is a perfect place to compose oneself after a contentious visit to the VA, and I think if I lived in or near Augusta I'd be a regular. If you like Irish pubs this is a grand place, and if you don't you should come by anyway and give it a chance.

Terrible service. Staff was rude. Waitress didn't even come back to see if we needed anything else or how the food was. I would give the food four stars but the service was horrible . We even had to wait 20 minutes to get our checks after we asked for them several times. I will go somewhere else where I am treated with respect.
