A new pop-up restaurant inspired by one of the world’s most recognizable toys is coming to Boston.
The Malibu Barbie Café — a ticketed dining experience tied to the Barbie brand — is set to open April 17 at 101 S. Market St., near Faneuil Hall. Organizers say the café will be modeled after the beachside look of 1970s Malibu, the era when Malibu Barbie was first introduced.

The project, a collaboration between Bucket Listers and Mattel, has previously run in cities including New York, Miami, Chicago, Austin, and Las Vegas.
“We are delighted to announce the opening of Malibu Barbie Café in Boston, bringing a truly unique experience that celebrates the Barbie brand and all she represents to the city,” said Julie Freeland, vice president of global location-based entertainment at Mattel.
Organizers say guests will be able to order from a fast-casual menu created by Chef Becky Brown, a “MasterChef” finalist and “Chopped” champion. The menu will include all-day fare, desserts, and drinks.



The pop-up will also include merchandise and interactive elements.
Tickets are priced at $25 and include a credit toward food and merchandise. They will be sold exclusively through Bucket Listers, with a waitlist open now for early access.
