What People Are Saying About Ringside at Sullivan's

In Short – Built as part of the upscale Sullivan's Steakhouse in the Galleria area, Ringside was created for those who want to digest their steaks in a comfortable, intimate environment, or for those who like to dress up and be seen in their Saturday-night best. Look for jazz, cigars and spirits galore. Nosh on appetizers while enjoying a premium cigar or a Sullivan's martini.

definately for an older crowd
by demilieu at Citysearch
i've been to the sullivan's ringside bars on westheimer several times over the years. i say 'bars' because there are two of them - a main room, and then another room that has a dance floor and small stage for live music. the main room most nights has a small live act - or at least a piano player. the music in this room is geared towards the 50+ or so crowd - mostly jazz-ish standards. the rear room (which used to be free but now has a $10 cover!) has other acts, including a pretty good house band that does contemporary pop/rock and r&b covers from the 80's and on. generally the staff service is very good with experienced bartenders and hostess people. the crowd tends to be older - 30's and above. dress is business professional, but there's a wide range there. some guys come in in jeans and a polo, but most are in jackets. the women tend to be more dressed-up which makes sense for an evening out in the Galleria. the drinks are a bit pricy - $10 or so without a tip, but high prices do serve to keep a lot of undesirable clientele away and you don't have to worry about a group of drunken louts ruining your evening out. it used to promote itself as a cigar bar but since CoH imposed the no-smoking ban in bars, well...but you can still purchase premium stogies there and go outside if that's your thing. as for the singles scene, it can be somewhat of a meat market on a crowded evening. sometimes the atmosphere can seem a bit pretentious, but the ringside all and all is an interesting alternative to other bar venues around town for those in their 30's or older.
- Pros: good service, live jazz, older cowd
- Cons: pricey, older crowd, semi-pretentious ambiance

Busy Place
by mbeeson at Citysearch
Busy place - and very crowded. The bar was packed took a long time to get a drink. Once we got into the private club area, service was excellent. We ate at the bar, and the food was great! Salads and appetizers. Friendly bartender.
- Pros: good service, good food
- Cons: expensive, crowded

Highly recommended
by mannymanolo at Citysearch
This mos def the place to take your lady, the crowd is always dressed to impress, and the bands are always jamming, I had a bit of a run in with a drunk guy, not acting decent around my lady, a waiter notice and before i would get a in a scuffle security and floor manager escorted him out. The crowd is 30+. So if you are under 30, dress right, cause you will stand out.
- Pros: it will always be a good night
- Cons: none.
