Barbie can do anything, right?! Of course she can! She can even earn more than a billion dollars at the box office! And now the iconic toy that’s inspired generations has staked her claim in Las Vegas with the opening of Malibu Barbie Café.
“Barbie would love Vegas; it’s one of the most eclectic cities anywhere and Barbie is all about inclusiveness,” said Derek Barry, president of experiences at Bucket Listers, creators of the new café. “Barbie would love what we’ve done here—it’s that beachy, vibey café. … Mattel has been super excited and supportive with this project. AREA15 folks have been very receptive, too. It’s the perfect location. We’re excited.”
This is the ninth iteration of the café, and it’s the biggest and raddest one of them all—a larger roller rink, bigger food and beverage menu and more immersive fun. Start your pink, dreamy, beachy adventure inside the café and order bites like pink pancakes, sandwiches and shareables, as well as sweets like design-your-own sundaes and cupcakes and dessert drinks like ice cream floats served in a pink Barbie car. Wash it all down with one of the specialty cocktails like the Think Pink margarita with JAJA blanco tequila, Cointreau, prickly pear purée, lime juice and coconut cream, or the Malibu Vibes with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Aperol aperitivo, sweet vermouth and rose syrup.
Take the party outdoors to the roller rink where skates and safety gear are provided, and don’t miss checking out the cutesy backdrops perfect for photo ops and the retail store with all the branded Barbie merch you could wish for.
