Steakhouse 55 at Disneyland Hotel to Become Lounge Area
If you’ve been following along with MickeyBlog you may have seen the news we shared back in 2021 that an iconic Disneyland eatery WOULD NOT be reopening. Steakhouse 55 had long been a favorite with adults visitors and was known for its delectable brunch offerings, wine list, and delicious steaks.
Disneyland diners were hopeful that the eatery would be back in some form after a bit of re-imagining but it looks like it’s gone for good and the space will be repurposed as a lounge area!?
NEW: The former Steakhouse 55 at Disneyland Hotel is being converted into a flexible lounge space, which will sometimes operate as an extension of a seasonal bar. There are no plans to bring back Steakhouse 55. Work is set to begin today – including removal of the marquee. pic.twitter.com/KiXd2BeSUH

Scott Gustin, a reliable source for all things Disney took to Twitter (X) earlier today to share the news that Steakhouse 55 is being turned into a “flexible lounge space” that will offer additional seating for the bar area during busier times of year!. Construction is currently underway to repurpose the space.
Though it’s surprising that the Disneyland Hotel will be sacraficing it’s Signature Dining Restaurant right before the large DVC Tower is slated to open, perhaps there will be additional dining options introduced at some point down the road. At the moment, the Disneyland Hotel is home to the following dining options:
- Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar and Grill
- Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Room
- Goofy’s Kitchen
- The Coffee House
- Room Service
It should be noted that DIsneyland Hotel is just steps away from Downtown Disney with its range of Table Service and Quick Service Dining. That being said, we’re sad to see Steakhouse 55, one of our favorite places to go for Disneyland Brunch (who remembers the Eggs Benedict!) fall by the wayside.
As of going to print, we have not seen an official statement from Disney regarding the repurposing of Steakhouse 55. However, we will be watching this story closely and promise to keep you posted of any additional updates.
