A new $8 million food hall with a rooftop cocktail lounge overlooking Downtown Disney is the latest entry in a seemingly never-ending parade of new restaurants and bars opening at the outdoor shopping mall next door to Disneyland.
The Parkside Market held a grand opening celebration on Wednesday, Jan. 22 in Downtown Disney after several weeks of soft opening operations.
The two-story food hall on the west end of Downtown Disney features GG’s Chicken Shop (fried chicken sandwiches), Seoul Sister (Korean rice bowls) and Sip & Sonder (Caribbean-inspired coffee) on the first floor with the Vista Lounge cocktail bar on the second floor.
The Parkside Market hosted the media on Wednesday and served tasting-sized versions of menu items during the press preview.
