The Hole In the Wall B.B.Q. brings apple smoked pulled pork barbecue near the square with a limited initial opening from 11-2 p.m. during Sullivan’s Monday, July 4th celebration.

Converting the building on the corner of Monroe and Washington streets has been a four month challenge for Shane Murphy.

“A Hole in the Wall” was just an idea I had to create a cozy place for good pulled barbecue,” Murphy said, noting everything he has learned from 20 years of family restaurant experience in Wisconsin has come together in Sullivan.

Shane’s wife Katrina, a Sullivan native, brought Murphy and his barbecue smoking skills south.

He has divided the former Lucky’s restaurant building to create a cozy Hole in the Wall atmosphere in the pulled BBQ location with seating for about 30 people.

The half-red building with a giant black Hole entrance offers an eclectic style inside. Inspired by family items and Murphy’s music and movie collection, he has assembled a time warp inside.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
