Dining with a Dash of Pixar Magic

Located in Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure Park, Lamplight Lounge celebrates the creativity of Pixar animation over gastropub cuisine, signature cocktails, and panoramic waterfront views. Keep in mind that in-park dining requires a theme park reservation and valid admission for the same park on the same date for each person ages 3 and older. While dining reservations don't guarantee admission, they do ensure you don't miss out on this magical experience. Be sure to check out the dining reservations guide for more details.

Upper Level Excitement: Al Fresco Pixar Vibes

The upper level of Lamplight Lounge is all about soaking up the Pixar vibes al fresco. With covered outdoor seating, it's the perfect spot for sipping drinks, indulging in a limited but delightful bar food menu, and immersing yourself in the playful atmosphere of Pixar Pier.

Lower Level Charm: Waterside Dining:

Head downstairs to discover the lower level, where indoor seating offers a cozy escape. But the real magic happens on the covered patio, extending over the waters of Paradise Bay. Imagine enjoying your meal with a waterfront view – it's pure enchantment!

Whether you're a Pixar enthusiast or just seeking a unique dining experience, Lamplight Lounge is where the magic happens. Join me in exploring this Pixar paradise at Pixar Pier!
