About this place Cabana Pool Bar

Located on Toronto's vibrant waterfront at Polson Pier, Cabana Pool Bar is a large-scale LGBTQ+ venue designed for all-day entertainment. The venue operates on a day-to-night model, making it an ideal spot whether you're looking to start your weekend early with afternoon drinks or transition into evening festivities. With a capacity of up to 2500 people, this is one of Toronto's more spacious gay venues, offering plenty of room to move around and socialize. The venue features private cabanas and daybeds, giving guests options for both social gathering and relaxation. This setup appeals to visitors seeking a resort-style experience without leaving the city. The waterfront location adds scenic appeal and creates a distinct atmosphere compared to downtown club venues. Toronto's gay bar and club scene offers something for most tastes and energy levels, and this venue represents the larger, capacity-focused end of that spectrum. Whether you're a local or visiting the city, a waterfront setting with dedicated LGBTQ+ programming can be a fun addition to a Pride season visit or weekend night out. It's worth checking their current event calendar and any door policies before heading over, and arriving early during peak times is recommended given the large crowd capacity.

It was a truly wonderful experience. The scenery was breathtaking, and the atmosphere was vibrant. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed themselves. However, it is important to exercise caution and be mindful of your belongings to avoid any potential issues with pickpockets.

Cabana Toolbar nails the trifecta: killer music, breathtaking city views, and an unbeatable vibe. The playlist set the perfect tone—chill yet energizing. As the sun dipped behind the skyline, the view turned magical, making every moment feel cinematic. The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming, ideal for both relaxed hangs and spontaneous dancing. Whether you're there for cocktails or just the ambiance, this spot makes every visit feel special.

I attended a Steve Aoki concert at Cabana in the summer. I never realized that the venue is just the porch for rebel nightclub. I don’t personally like the area as it is in the middle of nowhere. It was also super overcrowded and didn’t have enough sun coverage. Super hot and packed

Vibe is great, went there to see Kehlani perform. Food and drinks are a bit over the top. Most food are $15+. Plenty of parking since it’s $30 cash, $32 card - no ins and outs otherwise you have to pay again to enter and park. Would go there again just for the vibe and great views off the city.

My bestie and I came to Cabana during caribana festival to see Kehlani. ID, security and ticket scan once you arrive. The place is simple enough to navigate with multiple washrooms that are kept clean. There is a couple bars to order drinks, the price is slightly steep ($25 for two drinks) and a snack bar to order food, which is reasonably priced ($25 for nachos, 20 for pizza). The music can be heard all throughout the space, and its vibes on vibes. It can be challenging to find a place to set up, sit and get comfy as guests fill up areas for bottle service. At one point we had found a place to sit however were asked to leave for a group ordering bottle service. Eventually, we secured a day bed located by the pool, which was great for views of the sky and sunset. There are numerous places for photo opportunities with a swing and sign once you come in, pictures by the deck with toronto skyline serving as the background. We thought the space might feel too crowded however it held many people and still felt like we had our own space to move. We did go in the pool, it isn’t deep, I am 5’7” and can stand with the water reaching my chest. There is also ledge around the outside if you do not want to fully step into the depths of the pool. The pool was refreshing on a hot summers day. For the event itself, I was disappointed as kehlani only played 3 songs - tickets were $71 plus tax with service charge. I would return again, as it’s a great way to spend the afternoon in the summer, giving feels of a resort (think all inclusive pool + bar) with immaculate vibes. I would not return again for an event like kehlani. I do believe because it was caribana weekend, it created even better atmosphere as people showed up in their outfits from the parade and were there to celebrate their culture & heritage.
