Paint the town pink: Boston to welcome pop-up Malibu Barbie Café this spring

A life-sized Malibu Barbie Café will be setting up shop in Boston this spring.

Following its success in nine other cities, Bucket Listers will bring the pop-up to 101 S Market St. (at Faneuil Hall Marketplace) on Friday, April 17 for a limited time.

Bucket Listers has already brought the experience to New York, Chicago, Miami, Austin, Houston, San Diego and Las Vegas, as well as the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota and Melbourne, Australia. Now the brand has its sights set on Boston .

"Bucket Listers is honored to continue partnering with Mattel to bring Malibu Barbie Cafe to Boston after sold-out runs across the country," said Bucket Listers President of Experiences Derek Berry. "Barbie has proven to be one of history's ultimate icons and it means so much for us to bring experiences like this to life for our community. We cannot wait for the city to see what we have in store."

In partnership with Mattel, the Barbie-themed restaurant will be reminiscent of Malibu beach in the 1970s, featuring an all-pink interior with several nods to the classic character.

Meanwhile, visitors can feed their inner Barbie fandom by ordering off the fast-casual menu that has been created by "Master Chef" finalist and "Chopped" champion chef Becky Brown. The Malibu Barbie Cafe will also sell exclusive merchandise while hosting several activities.

"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, Mattel. "At Mattel we are always looking for exciting, new ways to bring the Barbie experience to life. From the décor to the menu, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the iconic Barbie style."

Tickets for the restaurant ($25 each and includes food and merch credit) will be available exclusively online at Bucket Listers.

Those looking to paint the town pink with Barbie can join the waitlist and receive first notification of tickets going on sale.
