Rock & Brews
The tunes are rockin' from the minute you enter Rock & Brews. Find a seat under the rock music paraphernalia and order one of the dozens of beers they have on tap, best enjoyed as a beer flight. The bar has loads of TVs playing concerts from years past, and you can even catch a live show if you time your visit right. The menu is full of eats with nods to rock legends like Alice Cooper's Poison Burger. Enjoy the California sun in their outdoor area with fire pits and cornhole setups, perfect for your group gathering. There's even a kids' playground to keep the little ones active.

Ghost Town Grill (inside Knott’s Berry Farm)
You just might catch a cowboy showdown when you dine at the Ghost Town Grill at Knott's Berry Farm. Start off with a sarsaparilla float before you dig into the menu of home-style favorites like country-fried steak, old-fashioned beef chili, and boysenberry pie. The walls are covered with vintage advertisements, reward posters, and old maps of California, and the placemats point out everything you can find at Knott's Ghost Town, from the blacksmith shop to the Bird Cage Theatre. Snap a selfie with the saloon girls, or get decked out for your old-timey photo at Knott's Pitchur Gallery—it's the ultimate souvenir!

Portillo’s Hot Dogs
Are you in California or 1960s Chicago? Known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, cheese fries, and homemade chocolate cake, Portillo's has been serving up delicious eats since 1963. Diners love the restaurant's laid-back retro vibes, and the always-on-point Italian beef sandwich, which is best served dipped in gravy with a side of fries.

Medieval Times
Travel back to medieval Spain, where gallant knights rode majestic horses and engaged in epic battles to protect the throne. Enter the castle gates, don your crown, and get ready to cheer for your knight to win jousting and sword-fighting battles where only one comes out victorious. Join in the pre-show knighting ceremony and meet the horses and falcon that are part of the show. Noble guests will feast on a meal that you eat using only your hands at Medieval Times.
