Silky
Sullivan's
Restaurant
and
Irish
Pub
opened
in
September
1984
in
a
building
that
formerly
housed
the
Fountain
Valley
Post
Office.
The
owners—Dan
Madden,
Bill
Madden
and
Rob
Robertson
labored
more
than
a
year
to
remodel
the
building
into
the
popular
Irish
Pub.
With
over
40
years
of
restaurant
experience
they
strived
to
create
a
Restaurant
and
Irish
Pub
with
a
friendly
atmosphere
that
has
become
one
of
Orange
County's
favorites.
Silky
Sullivan's
is
dedicated
to
the
great
thoroughbred,
"Silky
Sullivan"
(1955-1977),
the
greatest
"come-from-behind"
stretch
runner
in
horse
racing
history;
and
to
all
the
competitors
in
sports,
as
in
life;
who
against
heavy
odds,
have
come
from
behind
to
finish
in
the
winner's
circle.
Silky's
is
a
community
oriented
establishment
and
plans
a
variety
of
events
that
involve
the
community
or
some
charitable
organization.
As
well
as
a
gathering
place
for
local
clientele,
Silky's
is
known
for
its
sporting
events,
showing
sports
on
all
16
televisions
all
the
time.
Come
experience
the
magic
of
what
has
been
described
as
the
"Cheers"
of
Orange
County.
