Kick off your evening at Sullivan’s with a craft cocktail, whether you prefer our “Knockout” orange-pineapple martini, a “Smoldering” smoking mezcal mule, or an elevated pomegranate cosmopolitan. From there, dive into our mouthwatering bar bites (like our signature sliders or blue cheese chips), or settle in for more formal, equally delicious steakhouse fare. There’s a cut for everyone, whether you’re partial to the “cowboy cut” bone-in ribeye or a classic filet mignon. Pair your steak with crab-stuffed shrimp or a broiled lobster tail for the ultimate surf-and-turf duo. There’s something in the air that makes Sullivan’s unique: an ambience at the intersection of luxury and cozy familiarity. Enjoy the swingin’ energy of our bar-centric atmosphere, soundtracked by the stylings of local musicians.

    The four of us were there to celebrate our anniversaries. Bruce, our waiter, was very personable and made the evening a delight. We started the meal with the Caesar Salad, which was very tasty. We moved on to the filet mignon, which was cooked perfectly. One member of our group had the chicken, which also was an excellent choice. We finished off the meal by sharing the bread pudding and the cheesecake. The cheesecake for us was the clear winner. It was a wonderful evening and we look forward to our next visit.

    We had a lovely time. There were six of us and the food was great and the service was excellent. There was a mistake made for one of our guests, but they could not have been more accommodating and agreeable in fixing it. We all make mistakes, the test is how we deal with fixing them. It is our third time being there and highly recommend this restaurant.

    A fantastic restaurant. We ordered a pepperoni and mozzarella pizza, and it was high-end delicious. We drank Zero Proof fresh-squeezed pink lemonade and blackberry Rickey’s—refreshing on a supremely hot Tucson day. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made excellent suggestions. The restaurant was quiet, had excellent music that wasn’t too loud, and had a diverse crowd. Will come back the next time we are in Tucson.
