I went to W.E. Sullivan’s on their opening night back in December of 2016. Now on this day in March of 2026, almost ten years later, I’m heading for my last lunch and blog from W.E. Sullivan’s on Prospect Road.
They announced last week that they were closing this location on April 18th, but they’re not closing W.E. Sullivan’s, they’re just moving the operation, so that’s good news! They haven’t announced the new location yet, but if it opens while I’m still doing this 365 bar crawl, they may be the only bar that I can go to twice in this year!
For now, let’s go have one last lunch at W.E. Sullivan’s on Prospect Road.

Bar Number 63: W.E. Sullivan’s, Friday, March 13, 2026
Here we are at W.E. Sullivan’s for our last lunch here. This is definitely a bittersweet post!
As I walked in, I saw a couple of familiar faces at the end of the bar…
It’s my friends, Karina and Roy at the bar, great to see both of them!
Then Alicia came over and said hi and it was wonderful to see her as well, we’re off to a fun start in here today!
And I see another familiar face at the front of the bar…
It’s my friend, Tricia, who is our special guest star for today’s Friday luncheon blog.
Tricia is an author who has written three books: "Running Blind in Traffic", "Diary of a Mad White Woman", and "Tails of the Cat and The Bookstore".
She’s going to be appearing at the Brimfield Public Library’s Local Author Fair next Saturday and if you get a chance, you should stop by, see her and the other authors and check out the books they are selling.
Kathleen was the pretty bartender on duty this afternoon and here she is serving me up a bottle of Budweiser with a lovely smile!
There’s the back of the bar and a shot from the other side of the bar.
Here’s the beers on tap in the middle of the bar.
There’s tables and chairs opposite the bar and up here in this front room.
There’s a second bar in this room over here.
Meanwhile, back at the front bar…
Our Friday lunch is served!
Tricia got the Scotch Eggs and I got the Sullivan’s Lobster Roll. Everything looks absolutely delicious.
There’s Tricia digging into her Scotch Eggs.
The Sullivan’s Lobster Roll came with a salad that was very tasty.
The Lobster Roll is served on a toasted brioche bun and filled with creamy lobster filling. It was a rich and delightful sandwich.
Lauren, who owns W.E. Sullivan’s along with her husband, Billy came over and said hi.
She said they have plans to move the bar soon and that they’re excited about the new location which will be announced soon.
I’m looking forward to seeing where they are headed and wish them the best of luck in the transition.
They are open until April 18th, so stop in and have a last drink at this location. Looking forward to having a drink and some fantastic food at the next chapter of W.E. Sullivan’s!
Cheers to W.E. Sullivan’s and good luck wiith the move and transition to the next phase of W.E. Sullivan’s! See you on the other side!
