The story
Sullivan's Steakhouse on West Fifth Avenue brings classic American steakhouse dining to Anchorage with a warmth that keeps both first-timers and regulars coming back. The kitchen centers on hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood, backed by craft cocktails and a wine program that earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025 — recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation on the list.
The atmosphere leans into rich traditions: classic interiors and live jazz performances several nights a week set a tone that is convivial without being loud. Local acts like the Eric Redding Duo and the Tom Bargelski Duo play regularly from 6 to 9 pm, giving dinner an easy, unhurried rhythm.
The steakhouse menu extends well beyond the grill. Alongside the prime cuts, the kitchen offers fresh seafood, and the bar program is built around craft cocktails and an extensive whiskey and bourbon selection. For those who take wine seriously, the Wine Locker Membership lets regulars store hand-selected bottles at a discount, with a personalized nameplate and a tasting journal to mark the occasions.
For value-driven evenings, the Chef Selections four-course menu for two at $99 — available Tuesdays and Thursdays — offers a structured way to move through the kitchen's range. The Tomahawk Trio for Two at $199 sits at the other end of the spectrum for a more indulgent occasion. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 3 to 6 pm, with bar bites starting at $10.
General Manager Joshua Orsini and Sales & Events Manager Danielle Lindgren oversee a private dining program with several distinct spaces: the intimate Back Library Room, the Front Library Room with a wall-mounted flat-screen, and the Wine Room, described as the finest space for size and versatility. The main dining room accommodates groups of 70 or more. For events off-site, Sullivan's catering brings the full steakhouse and seafood experience to the venue of your choice.
