Lamplight Lounge at Pixar Pier inside Disney California Adventure

The recently revamped Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure features a brand new restaurant, Lamplight Lounge. This chic Pixar-themed spot is at the entrance of Pixar Pier and replaces the very popular Cove Bar.

With expert theming that only Disney can pull off, the backstory is that the restaurant was renovated from an old warehouse factory, and it’s a treasure trove of Pixar mementos and collectibles that have been “left behind” by Pixar filmmakers. Even if you aren’t a Disney fanatic, anyone who has seen some of Pixar’s iconic movies will enjoy seeing the artwork and various pieces of history that line the walls here, and we know most of people have watched Pixar’s movies with a big TV and a 65 tv stand for this purpose as well.

Lamplight Lounge Interior

If you can snag a reservation, you are seated in the main downstairs area where you have an expanded menu and views of the water and Pixar Pier.

There is a Pixar chandelier that includes film quotes and sketch artwork from different animated films. Wonder why several of the pages are blank? This represents one of the hardest parts of the creative process — starting with a blank canvas.

Don’t miss the wall of t-shirts in the lobby that represents Pixar’s tradition of wearing special t-shirts when a film is in production.

If no one is sitting at the “conference table” booth, check out the table with die-cast toys created for the Cars movie, and catch all the toys above the table that were pulled from Pixar’s archives. In between are notes that show design comments and notes that are typically exchanged between Pixar and the manufacturing partners.

Lots of artwork adorns the walls as you make your way around the lobby and stairways. Don’t miss iconic touches like the Grape Soda pin that Ellie pinned on Carl during Up!

Lamplight Lounge Menu

The Lamplight Lounge menu is small, and it’s not meant to be somewhere you hang out for hours doing a multi-course dinner. The menu offers a nice selection of small bites (which were pretty filling) and gastropub entrees. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available, and be sure to save room for dessert! The Lamplight Lounge menu features a guest favorite from the Cove Bar as well — Lobster Nachos.

Shareable bites include items like the Carne Asada Roll, Potato Skins, the iconic Lobster Nachos, Deviled Eggs & Toast, Crab & Tuna Roll, Tuna Poke, and Crispy Piggy Wings. Prices range from $12 (Deviled Eggs) to $20 (Lobster Nachos). While not necessarily cheap, if you are sharing a couple of these dishes, it’s not any more expensive than a quick-service counter meal.

Larger entrees include a Spinach Salad, Salmon PLT, Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Chicken Salad, Ratatouille (Yeah Remy!), and a Cheddar Burger. Prices on entrees range from $19 for the Ratatouille to $23 for the Salmon PLT.

Potato Skins and Chicken Sandwich

There is a kid’s menu as well that includes fun items like the PB&J roll, chicken tenders, burger slider, and pasta.

Tip: Don’t forget that if you have a Disneyland annual pass, you can get a discount in Lamplight Lounge. If you are in a group, only one person needs to have the annual pass for it to apply to everyone’s meals. 
Be sure to save room for the Lamplight Lounge Donuts!

Lamplight Lounge Reservations

You can make reservations for Lamplight Lounge up to 60 days in advance in one of two ways:

  • Call (714) 781-DINE (3463) between 7am and 9pm daily Pacific Time
  • Lamplight Lounge reservations online at Disneyland.com

It’s highly recommended to make reservations, especially if you plan to visit this summer. It’s worth it to see the main dining area, have the expanded menu, and not take your chances on the walk-in line.

As a reminder, separate theme park admission to Disney California Adventure is required, as Lamplight Lounge is inside the park, not in Downtown Disney.

Lamplight Lounge Hours

Lamplight Lounge is currently open daily from 11am to 9pm, but closing times may vary once the summer season is over. Expect closing time to be 7pm or 8pm depending on what night of the week you’re visiting.

Visit the Disneyland Resort before September 3rd, 2018 if possible as the summertime Pixar Fest is also going on until then, with a variety of interesting treats and merchandise.
