Steakhouse 55 at the Disneyland Hotel was an old Hollywood-style steakhouse with old-school waiters, dirty martinis, and bone-in ribeyes. The restaurant is permanently closed, and Disney is looking for ways to use the space. (File photo courtesy of Cindy Yamanaka of Orange County Register/SCNG)
Steakhouse 55 permanently closes in 2021 amid phased reopening of Disneyland Resort dining, shops and attractions following a year-long closure of the Anaheim theme park due to COVID-19 . The former Steakhouse 55 restaurant was eventually converted into a flexible lounge space while Walt Disney Imagineering developed a new theme for the location.
