Silky Sullivan's Restaurant & 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 "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.
