The immersive Blondie Barbie Bash will fittingly be held in the restaurant's "Pink Room," which will be draped in Barbie-themed decor. A Malibu Barbie inspired playlist and cult-classic rom-coms streaming on the bistro's TVs will help patrons feel like they're dining in the Barbie DreamHouse.

On the menu will be a variety of special pink-hued food and beverage options, including the "Malibu Blondie" bay breeze, the "Ken's Kiss" frose, "Barbie's Berry Bliss Pancakes" and the "Pretty in Pink" funfetti cake.
