Chef and restaurateur Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak at the Americana is a stylish newcomer to Brand Boulevard. Opened last March, the restaurant is a high-end steakhouse that brings Las Vegas-style service, well-crafted whiskey cocktails and a lively lounge to the busy thoroughfare. At 182-seats, it’s Vegas-sized too but the eatery is divided into several comfortable spaces: a private dining room (booking fast for holiday parties), a white tablecloth dining room lined with comfy booths and both an indoor and outdoor lounge.
While the lobster pot pie might be something to dream about, more reasonably priced dishes can be found on the Monday through Friday (4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) happy hour menu where specialty craft cocktails are only $7.
237 S. Brand Blvd., Glendale, (818) 839-4130.
