"Suppose you’d like your friends to acknowledge your birth by way of hollowed-out disco balls filled with pink margaritas, vegan chicken tenders with ranch, and a fountain in the shape of a lion’s head billowing with fog, Dreamland should be your place. While it sounds like a bit much, it still feels effortlessly casual here, and it’s easy to make a reservation online for a bunch of folks. All that’s left to do is enjoy the feel-good playlists, replica jungle cats, boozy slushies, and steamburgers while toasting to your fleeting youth." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"The folks ladling a seemingly endless flow of strawberry-watermelon margaritas from a hollowed-out disco ball aren't the only ones who get to have fun at Dreamland. The same margarita is available sans booze, plus loads of other options, like spirit-free copycats of sbagliatos or piña coladas, glasses of sparkling wine, and two different varieties of Athletic Brewing beer. And with a space featuring neon lighting and a giant lion fountain that actually roars, this place proves that you don't need to do shots to have a thrilling Friday night." - aimee rizzo
"For a serotonin rush, have dinner on Dreamland’s balcony patio, a.k.a. Carnelian Bay. The whimsical space-galaxy-jungle-grotto surroundings make this diner feel like a hazy movie mashup of Jurassic Park, Alien, and Xanadu in the best way possible. There are $99 large-batch margaritas served in disco balls alongside salty pucker powder-rimmed glasses, Jell-O shots that taste like homemade jam straight from the jar, and some above-average bar snacks—like vegetarian chicken strip baskets, pimento cheese slathered on fried saltines, and a gooey burger that can do no wrong in our eyes. Very much like the title track of Xanadu." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
"The Deal: $2 Off Draft Beer, Glasses Of Wine, House Cocktails, And Non-Alcoholic Cocktails; Discounted Snacks The thought of this psychedelic diner's $5 french fries with tangy homemade ranch is enough to blast us through the door for Happy Hour, followed by one of the best burgers in town for $9. Discounted strawberry-watermelon margaritas rimmed in sour candy powder sweeten the deal, literally." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

The whimsical space-galaxy-jungle-grotto surroundings make this diner feel like a hazy movie mashup of Jurassic Park, Alien, and Xanadu in the best way possible. There are $99 large-batch margaritas served in disco balls alongside salty pucker powder-rimmed glasses, frozen grasshopper slushies, Jell-O shots that taste like homemade jam straight from the jar, and some of the best bar snacks in the city—like vegetarian chicken strip baskets, pimento cheese slathered on fried saltines, and a gooey burger that can do no wrong in our eyes. Very much like the title track of Xanadu." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
