The Malibu Barbie Cafe restaurant and roller rink in San Diego is open to all ages, aside from 21+ skate nights on select evenings.

The pop-up restaurant inspired by the “most iconic doll in fashion history” opened July 11 at the Bayside Kitchen and Bar (2137 Pacific Hwy, San Diego, CA 92101), just ahead of Comic-Con.

The fast-casual menu, created by Master Chef finalist and Chopped Champion Chef Becky Brown, features friendly fare (think burgers and fries), delectable desserts (mini cupcakes in a Barbie boat) and signature drinks and cocktails (Jarritos in a pink Barbie corvette, anyone?).

“Inspired by the groovy beachside energy of 1970s Malibu,” the pop-up will also offer fans exclusive Barbie merchandise and photo ops (yes, you can pose inside a life-size Barbie doll box).

Tickets for the restaurant are $25 (children under 2 are free), while a $1 donation is required to access the Barbie x Impala skate rink. All proceeds from the skating rink will be donated to the American Red Cross, to support those affected by the deadly California wildfires.
