Lamplight Lounge Menu & Prices 2026: Disney California Adventure

Lamplight Lounge is a Pixar-themed gastropub located at Pixar Pier inside Disney California Adventure, Anaheim, CA. It opened in June 2018, replacing the former Cove Bar. The restaurant has two areas: a main dining room (downstairs) that serves brunch on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, plus lunch and dinner daily; and Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk Dining (upstairs), a walk-up lounge with a shorter shareables menu and panoramic views of Paradise Bay. The entire space is decorated with original Pixar artwork from films including Toy Story, The Incredibles, Up, Finding Nemo, Coco, and Monsters, Inc.

Lamplight Lounge is priced in the $$$ range for a theme park restaurant. Appetizers (called "Bites") run $15 to $22. Entrees ("Bigger Bites") range from $25 to $40, with most lunch and dinner plates between $26 and $35. The signature Prime Rib is the most expensive entree at $40. Cocktails run $17.50 to $21.50; craft beers are $14.25 to $17.25. Brunch entrees range from $19 to $32. Kids' meals are a flat $12 (or $10 for the brunch omelet). Desserts are $11. Theme park admission to Disney California Adventure is required separately.

Reservations are strongly recommended for the Lamplight Lounge dining room. Disney allows reservations up to 60 days in advance through the Disneyland app or website (dining.disneyland.disney.go.com). Walk-in seating is available but limited, especially during peak seasons and weekends. The upstairs Boardwalk Dining area is walk-up only with no reservations -- guests queue for outdoor lounge seating with a shorter menu of shareable bites, cocktails, and beer. Book early during summer, spring break, and holiday periods.

The Lobster Nachos are widely cited as Lamplight Lounge's signature dish and the most photographed item on the menu. The Boardwalk Dining version is priced at $27 and features warm lobster with black beans, lobster cheese sauce, shredded cheese blend, and pico de gallo over house-made chips. The Thai Seafood Pasta ($35) is another standout -- a Thai curry cioppino with coconut-steamed clams, mussels, shrimp, pan-seared fish, and spaghetti. Both consistently appear in fan reviews and Disney food blog recommendations as must-order items.

Yes -- Lamplight Lounge serves brunch on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the main dining room. The brunch menu includes the Lamplight Chilaquiles ($24), Lamplight French Toast ($26), Brunch Burger ($26), Steak and Eggs ($32), and Smoked Salmon Egg White Omelet ($28). A Mimosa Flight ($29) and Beer Mimosa ($17) round out the drinks. Plant-based guests can order the Potato Flautas ($19). Kids' brunch options include an omelet ($10), French toast ($11), and mini brunch burger ($12). The brunch menu is typically served from park opening through mid-afternoon -- confirm hours with Disney dining when booking.

Lamplight Lounge is known for its creative Pixar-inspired cocktail menu. Current signature cocktails include the Scream Canister ($19, Bacardi 8 Anos rum, cream of coconut, pineapple and orange juice with Angostura bitters mist -- a nod to Monsters, Inc.), the Cobra Hiss ($19.75, mezcal, Cointreau, cucumber syrup, lemon, and agave), and Final with a Fix ($18, Greenbar IXA Reposado tequila, St. George raspberry liqueur, Cointreau, and a mezcal spritz). Non-alcoholic specialty mocktails include Goofball Island ($9), 2319 ($9, inspired by Monsters, Inc.), Infinity Fizz ($9, Toy Story), Falling with Style ($9), and Mint to Be ($8.50). The cocktail lineup rotates periodically with new Pixar film releases and seasonal updates.

Yes -- Lamplight Lounge has multiple vegetarian and vegan options. Vegan items include the Brussels Caesar ($15), Cauliflower Wings ($22 at Boardwalk Dining), and the Potato Flautas ($19, brunch only). Vegetarian options include the Beer-battered Onion Blossom ($18), Roasted Squash Panzanella Salad ($15), Impossible Burger ($25), Lamplight French Toast ($26), Lamplight Chilaquiles ($24), and the kids' Pasta ($12). The menu is labeled -- look for plant-based callouts. If you have specific dietary needs or allergens, inform your server and check with Disney dining for current ingredient information, as menus rotate.

Lamplight Lounge Boardwalk Dining is the upstairs walk-up lounge on the Pixar Pier boardwalk. It has a separate, shorter menu focused on shareables: Spotlight Nachos ($25), Korean-style Chicken Wings ($24), Beef Sliders ($25), Beer-battered Fish Tacos ($22), Lobster Nachos ($27), and the plant-based Cauliflower Wings ($22). No reservations are taken for Boardwalk Dining -- it is first-come, first-served outdoor seating. It is a good option for guests who cannot get a reservation for the main dining room and want the Lamplight Lounge experience with cocktails and a view. The downstairs main dining room has the full brunch, lunch, and dinner menu and requires an advance Disney dining reservation.
