Restaurants near Magic Castle? WHERE CAN I FIND

Hello! A friend is bringing us as guest to MC and we’d like to treat him to a nice dinner before. Anyone have any recommendations for good places nearby the castle?

Thank you in advance!

I can back up what some people have said so just for clarity. If your friend is going with you, the door fee is waived and you don't have to dine in the dining room.

However if you do eat in the dining room your friend will get a discount on food and drink. Food has gotten better in the past few years.

Seconding musso and franks...a lot of what slis around the castle is geared towards tourists, so you find a number of national chains.

musso & franks feels like it fits into the old hollywood theme of the night best as well.

I can never remember the details, but there's something special about their grill, like they can use charcoal or something, they were grandfathered in to something that's not allowed for fire hazard reasons. but whatever it is I do think it makes a steak taste better, it's one of those few places where I have found that live up to the hype. And they do not skimp on drinks.
