Damon's Steakhouse

Since 1937, this classic tiki-themed steakhouse has served thick-cut steaks and tropical-inspired drinks along Brand Boulevard. The thatched roof and Hawaiian murals lend an overall easygoing, casual vibe to this Glendale institution, which churns out killer mai tais and vodka- or rum-spiked swirls of Dole whip, the beloved frozen pineapple dessert. Stop by early on weekends for the prime rib specials—it often sells out early—but you can dine on coconut shrimp and other delicious fried appetizers any day of the week. While we’d recommend sitting down for a full meal here to get the full tiki steakhouse experience, you can also head to the back bar if you’re just looking for a drink before Damon’s closes at a relatively sleepy 10pm.
