Scully’s Pub at 408 State Street in Erie is for sale. I don’t know the asking price - yet. About 1,000 years ago I bartended there while I was going to Gannon. They started a quarter draft night one year and then gave it up for the Summer. The next year I restarted it. Week 1 - 30 people. Week 2 - 60 people and a bouncer was hired. Week 3 - 100 people and an other boouncer and another bartender were hired. Week 4 - every college student in Erie. Fun times.
