Cabana Pool Bar was a better experience than I initially anticipated. The party vibe and music is a fun environment, especially if you're with a big group of friends and get a cabana. And the servers and hostess were very cordial and accommodating. However, entry into the venue was bit disorienting and disorderly and "security" was also a bit unnecessarily rude when explaining directions and answering questions. My party and I were visiting toronto and this was our first time at Cabana Pool Bar, so everything was just a bit overwhelming when navigating parking/uber drop off, entry into venue, and inquiring table and bottle service. Security (I think) was doing way too much, maybe in anticipation of an unruly crowd, but we noticed everyone was chill and just trying to keep dry from the pouring rain. We would definitely visit again but try to ignore the attitudes of staff outside the venue. Rideshare is highly recommended but you'll still have to walk down Polson street, especially when leaving the venue. Bottle service is ridiculously expensive, especially if you don't drink alcohol. And if you're there for a performance, try delay going into the venue (if you don't have table/bottle service) because most performances start much later in the day unless otherwise stated, and there's (technically) nowhere to sit for free. Also, once you enter the venue, supposedly you are not allowed re-entry if you leave. Btw- the ladies bathroom is large and kept clean, with several stalls, sinks, and mirrors. There's also lounge seating in the bathroom. Overall, not a bad experience, but its worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

Very expensive prices for alcohol, you cannot bring even towel with you! But the sound was good and smoking was in designated area.

Food was amazing, and came out quickly. It was the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. The tenders came with a great tasting sauce, no complaints on this experience. read more

Cabana is a beautiful lake side venue with a lucrative city skyline view. I've been here a few times, and it's fun. They have lockers - make sure you bring multiple toonies, since they may not have the change to give you. It's not cheap, but it's worth it to experience a pool bar with views in Toronto. Since it's away from the city center, they can go big with sound. Another convenience is that one event got cancelled because of rain, and they moved us to the space above Rebel. I don't know if they do this with all events, but this was convenient. There is some food being served. I haven't tried it, but at least it's there. read more

The place is great, we went twice in one weekend! Parking is expensive at 30$ CAD, (around 25$ USD) with a 2$ additional charge if you use card. Didn't try any of the food but it looked pretty good, the drinks were great. Bartenders are quick to get you situated, we didn't try renting a cabana. Pool on Saturdays is an additional charge of like $20 CAD ($15ish dollars USD) for Men, on top of already having men pay to get in. Ladies sometimes free before 3pm. Check their website for event details. Vibe was fantastic, DJs playing some outstanding house music sets. Security seems a bit over eager to throw people out though. Don't cause trouble and you'll be fine. I didn't have a single issue. No outside towels allowed, and check their website for the dress code. Pool gets gross after a while so go early if you wanna swim lol. read more

Party On Land Or In The Water! This was my first pool party event and I will say I had a great time. (This was a part of the caribana based events) I was on the ground dancing and in the pool dancing. There was a full bar and food for purchase. The drinks were WEAKKKKKK!!! I guess I'm a true New Yorker where I patronize bars, clubs, and restaurants and they make strong drinks. This place literally put and exact amount of a shot of liquor in the drinks whateverrr... The wings were good and so were the fries.... The DJ was great had the people going. I would return if certain events were hosted there I had a great tome read more

It used to be a hit and miss at this place, but the last few times have been nothing but Great! The place is beautiful, very spacious with so many tables on the other side of the pool. Dj and live tunes, great food and exceptional service. The Nachos is always a favourite, the flat Iron steak and Calamari are always my favourites. It might be a bit expensive like some of the reviews here had mentioned, but you're paying for the nicest spot in Toronto, so if you're looking to nickel and dime, then this isn't the place for you. read more

I've been coming here for a few years now and I've always had a good time. This review is for the first time I went in 2022 and it was a different feeling. Very understaffed. Lack of bartenders and slow service at the bar. The line for the bar took 20 minutes, then to be ignored by the bartender when standing at the bar for another 10 minutes. It should not take 30 minutes to order two drinks. The bar is also the only place to get water. Lack of garbages and cleaning crew. There were shattered plastic cups and cans on the ground. I attended an event and I felt like they were way over capacity. So many people, hardly any room to walk. A girl was carrying something sharp and she scraped my arm while walking past me. They are unresponsive on social media and email so if you have questions you're out of luck. read more

My buddy took me for my birthday, and while I can see the potential it has, it wasn't exceptional. Mostly because we went during the first wave of Covid in summer 2020, nothing was locked down yet, some people just starting to wear masks. We sat outside on the patio, and it wasn't very busy. Yet still seemed understaffed / a bit disorganized. Food was decent though. And the view of the city is super nice. Would be cool to go back in peak season. read more

I paid $150 for two tickets for a Caribana DAY PARTY with Kehlani on Aug 2nd. Event said STARTS AT 1PM and by 3:30 PM still no Kehlani. My plan was to head over to the Caribana parade after the party so now I ask a staff whats happening. He tells me "performances are around 6pm, idk why everyone is here so early" .... WTF. The tickets said 1pm. Now I've spent 3 hours waiting for the performer I paid to see DURING THE DAY. I would have gone to the parade first then to Cabana if they had given proper timing information on their tickets/event page. Its not hard to say "Door open at 1pm. Performer at 6pm". Also once your are inside you can't leave and come back so they trapped everyone with false advertising. I left at 5pm because at this point im pissed and Cabana has ruined my entire plan for the day. I spent at least $500 on tickets and drinks just to not see the performer in the end. I feel like they mislead customer to maximize their profits which is shady as hell. I reached out to customer service and was basically told it is my fault for assuming the event started at 1 even though thats what the tickets and event page said. Beyond disappointed with this entire experience. Will never be back at Cabana. read more

I got there before 3pm on a Sat (free for girls before 3pm on Sat) and there were long line ups to get in. The line splits and you wouldn't know which to go (guest list vs ticket vs paying counter) until you're in it. You first show them ID and check in the guestlist and they'll give you a wristband. No water bottles! It was Canada Day weekend so there were red balloons and pretty much all the guests were wearing red and white. Loud mainstream club music was playing. Nice views of the skyline. You'll definitely get to soak the sun. It's hard to find a place to sit as most of Cabana's space is the reserved booths. But there is an indoor area where you can sit and the entrance dock has some white benches too (quieter too). For entertainment, soccer was playing on the big screen, there are a couple of pool tables and foosball. There is a little snack bar and at least 3 full bars. There were some dancing girls on tables and a hot tub on the upper balcony. There are security guards at every corner. I must say, the pool is small and crowded! It is blocked by an entrance gate so you can't get too close to it. Summer party vibes and lots of sun. You'll just most likely be standing. read more

It's been a long summer and we were in the mood for a patio by the water, so Cabana Pool Bar seemed like an obvious choice. It's not super accessible - I wound up parking about 15 minutes away - and we didn't get a table even close to the water, even though we specifically requested a spot by the water in our reservation. But we still had a pretty good time thanks to the easygoing ambiance and stellar service. We started with a Red Fire Dragon Maki roll, which tasted fresh and certainly hit the spot. (The price, however, didn't hit the spot; $22 for a fairly tiny amount of sushi? Not cool, Cabana Pool Bar.) For my main, I went with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich ("Lettuce, Pickles, Mayo, Cheddar"), which comes with a generous helping of fries. I can't say I was especially impressed. The chicken was fairly anemic and didn't contain any crunch, while the various toppings did little to alleviate the mediocrity of the protein. This tasted like something you'd get at a high-school cafeteria (albeit at a much, much higher price point). I might still return just for the beach-like atmosphere, but I do wish they'd put just a little effort into their food. read more

For something in Toronto, it's not bad. It's like a vegas pool bar but less bougie, more expensive (YEAH.. I KNOW RIGHT? I'm surprised too) and more ratchet, if possible. If you enjoy day drinking, this place is for you. If you enjoy long summer days in the sun, this is the spot for you. If you enjoy DJs and EDM, this is DEFINITELY the spot for you. I enjoy all of the above, so yes. I quite enjoyed myself. We bought tix for the event, so that was $20 and we didn't have to pay additional $ for the pool, for some reason. WHICH WAS BAD, BECAUSE I ENDED UP THROWING MY IPHONE INTO THE POOL. UGH. #StillSalty. I'd love to get a booth here, because it's super bougie but still chill at the same time. The chairs are also nice to chill on. They also have tons of shisha here, pool tables and a small dance floor area - seriously, how packed was it when Oliver Heldens came to town?!?! Everything is so pricey here. A drink is $13 lol bye Beautiful view but bad location - you pretty much HAVE to drive here. Rough. I'd love to get a booth here because it's so pretty but I'm sure it's hella $$$ read more

BEST CABANA POOL BAR YET! Amazing views, beautiful people, pool, tons of lounging areas, and very chill house music. //ATMOSPHERE// When I went, it was a beautiful sunny hot day so some people were in the pool, others shuffling and swaying to the chill house music, and people were generally very chill. //THINGS TO DO// Lounging near the pool (you have to have VIP bracelets though) but swimming in the shallow pool is open to all. The day that I went had a Greek theme so there was Grecian costumes, dancers, free corona flash tattoos & flower crowns given out The indoor & outdoor areas were open so you can walk around or lounge around in many places. The were also foozball & pingpong tables outside ! The ladies washroom was clean & brightly lit. Plentiful with mirrors, stalls, sinks/counters, seating areas AND had a makeup/hair stylist there for touch up! //$$// Cover was free if you get in before a certain time depending on the day. Didn't like that the drinks were very expensive & mostly watered down (very typical..). Food their was by Oliver & bonacini so it was pricey but good bar food. There was also a bubble waffle ice cream stand ($10/bubble waffle ice cream) so I thought that was neat they had that! T read more

The food is pathetic and extremely overpriced. We came on a Monday night for Vegandale by master chef Dino Luciano. I'm sorry to say but Dino should be embarrassed to put his name on this food. The fries tasted like they were frozen (not fresh) and the buns seemed like they were bought at a gas station. The presentation was also lacking. This is something you'd expect at an amusement park. Everything came in plastic. Plastic cups for the drinks and plastic plates. Do not come here for the food. The only thing redeemable is the view of the Toronto skyline. read more

Came here for Tuesday Movie night, it was my first time, and really enjoyed the vibe here. Definitely don't come here for the food, as it's mainly reheated stuff and quite expensive. Buts definitely an awesome place if you want to grab drinks to hang with friends. They did a good job with spacing and distancing the tables, and we noticed thorough cleaning. We noticed that people that came after 9pm didn't have paid parking access across from Rebel. So FYI and make reservations !! read more

This spot is a lot of fun! I went for a special event on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time! Drinks (3/5)- Regular drinks, it's what you expect. Very pricey. Music (5/5)- The DJ was great and the dancefloor was full of energy. I'm not sure if it's always this great, I guess it depends who's performing. Vibe (4/5)- The view of the skyline is beautiful! It's a huge place, not worth getting a cabana if it's not near the DJ booth. Also the pool area is crowded and did not look fun. Overall (4/5)- I'd definitely go back to see a good artist or DJ perform. read more

The male at the entrance of the restaurant is extremely rude. It presents more like a bar than a restaurant with a guy who thinks he is a bouncer welcoming guests into the restaurant. We have been there before and enjoyed ourselves but this is not the first time that the staff that appear to be there more as bouncers despite it being a restaurant have been quite rude. The other staff have been great. read more

Firstly, when is their movie night? Monday or Tuesday? My friend looked up and it was Monday; but all my searches showed Tuesday. We ended up going in on a Monday. Let's just say this -the location is unbeatable and the view is spectacular! So a couple of things- First up- if you're going to host a movie night, especially in September- expect it to get cold and get some heaters for your patrons! You're a patio, right by the water - it gets cold and windy. I came prepared with mittens, scarfs and I dressed warm- I was still freezing. Second- the service is much to be desired. My drink toppled over, and my phone, myself and the entire table was drenched. Ice pretty much flew everywhere, and we have to use ALL our napkins, borrow from the next table and cleaned up by ourselves! If they did not see it, it's bad service, if they saw it and showed a blind eye- even worse. Pretty sure they saw the whole mishap; but maybe(?!!) wanted to avoid any confusion about a free drink? It would have gone a LONG way if they had just come over and offered napkins to clean or to clean themselves. It's just a bad customer experience. I was cold to begin with, but standing around with my outfit soaked, and having to clean- I was FROZEN. You're exorbitant, have the decency to treat people right. Had to flag someone to get second round of drinks, more napkins, a response on whether there's coffee (which I never got), and the bill. Avoid. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. We made a reservation for lunch and they didn't let us in because my sister (who is 18) didn't have her ID, which they never told us was required. And apparently she can't enter without a parent, so I can't be her guardian (I'm 30+). They also don't accept IDs from other countries so a foreigner can't visit. What a joke. Also their drinks are made with 1.5oz alcohol which is lower than standard. Skip this place and go to Lavelle. read more

This ultra wanna be high mile end pool bar is just plain ridiculousness! A lot of guidos/guidettes and the Jersey Shore crowd. Except men and ladies think they really have to prove themselves to maintain their level of cool factor. The staff make sure you have a good time if you are VIP status by reserving a cabana/table. We came here for a wedding wknd celebration party, courtesy of family and friends. Rounds of drinks, appetizers, and hookahs in addition to music all afternoon. Honestly, not sure why the need for all the pretentious and snotty vibe when it is nowhere comparable to the luxury pool clubs & resorts of NYC. For starters, they need a real bathroom not a trailer park size bathroom at the back of the club with security or next door concert bldg premise. The space itself is huge except it is completely floored and overcrowded with tables. They need to take cues from real interior designers who actually know how to simplify and make the place really pop. The ultra white clean look might attract its crowd but they need to offer a lot more to keep this pool bar running. On the bright side, the pool bar/club faces the pier so expect to see a lot of rich girls with their daddy's yachts sailing. Overall it was ok but not something to venture again. read more

Cabana is way over priced for the quality your getting. For example, two pieces of sushi is $10 plus tax and tip for simply a bite of rice and salmon. Last time I went I was also refused entry for not having my ID despite the fact I was not ordering any drinks. The website does not say ID is required as children are allowed in. All of my friends had ID and the photo of my ID would not be accepted. It also does not say minors have to accompanied by a guardian anywhere when making a reservation. This alone would not even have been a problem, the biggest problem was how rudely my group was treated at the entrance. Another group had the same issue and the guy at the front was incredibly rude instead of being apologetic and sympathetic. Overall would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Cabana is a unique experience in the city of Toronto. Nothing else is quite like it (Muzik does not compare). Entry fee is $20 then an additional $20 for pool access. The female washrooms have a touch up station (hair and makeup), there is locker and towel rentals and several bars on the premises. The venue itself it's beautiful, the views are gorgeous and there is always a great crowd. Cabana's downside is service is horrendous. Waited 45 minutes for a waitress and another 30 minutes for a sangria pitcher and chicken wrap. The worst part of my most recent visit is when the waitress told us a $5 tip on a $35 bill wasn't enough. She claimed she would have to pay out of pocket unless we gave her more. I am always a generous tipper but when service is below average asking your customers for more money just isn't appropriate. Maybe management should look into more training for their staff. Despite the incident Cabana is the place to be on Sundays and I certainly will be back before the season is over. read more

We were here on a Ditch Friday. It was a burning hot day, just perfect for swimming and tanning. The upside: - Stunning view of the city & chill vibes. - We basically had the pool to ourselves. Most of the people there were not planning on swimming, just drinking in a bikini with full-faced makeup in high heels. - Good music and lots of dancing - Free Beck taxis from and to Union Station (we didn't take this, but it was nice that they had it) The downside: - Early closure (by 9pm) - We were watched by lurkers and several creepy older men who came right in your personal space. - Some of the people there were completely wasted (couldn't even stand up)- why didn't the bartenders cut them off? Gross. - There is this $20 towel rental, where you have to put a deposit to rent a towel. - Mixed service, but staff were generally friendly. Overall, it's a beautiful venue and it was fun. I wouldn't mind revisiting. I'd recommend coming here at least once to see it. read more

Cabana Pool Bar is a great place to swim and splash around during the day. During the evening it turns into a night club and really isn't my style. The day time lounging is fantastic with one exception. The service is atrocious! On my first outing to Cabana I had to wait 4 hours before I got my first order of food. On my second journey to Cabana, it was slightly better but I had to state the name of the lady who told me to let her know when I arrived. If I hadn't stated her name, service would have taken hours like during my first visit to Cabana. After I stated the ladies name I was able to order my first dish immediately. After she left I was unable to order another dish for a couple of hours as I was trying to flag down a waitress. read more

I went on a Saturday at around 430 pm and it wasn't too busy nor too empty (just right). Cover was 20 dollars per person and included entry to the pool as well (bonus for showing up on a Saturday). The crowd and music was very lively. Beautiful scenery especially at sunset (both people and the location). See my posted pictures. The place had pool tables, a ping pong table and lots of seating space. The washrooms were well kept and the girls one apparently even had beds. If you forget your swimwear you can buy it there but the price tag is steep at $60. We had no problem just showing up and getting a booth (without buying a package). I came with about 8 friends and we bought some food and 2 bottles (750ml) which came with 2 chase each. The bill at the end came upto around 550 after taxes and tip. This isn't bad considering it was split 8 ways. Drinks otherwise are $9 which I expected. Cons: Service was ok. The place closes sorta early which is a shame at 9pm. Overall it was a good chill experience and I would go back again with friends. read more

6 of us went to Cabana Pool Bar last night for a number of reasons: lobster night, tequila, the scene, and the scene. We left there surprised. I was expected a sleazy, douchie rundown tourist trap with crappy pub food, warm beer glasses, and watered down drinks. WRONG on all counts. Ownership has obviously reinvested hard money into keeping this enormous place ship shape, clean, and comfortable. Food: with Oliver and Boniccini at the helm of this kitchen the choices were all over various food groups and well presented. We ran the gamut here from: lobster and watermelon salad, truffle mushroom pizza, grilled octopus, lobster, Caesar salad, beef tacos, and beef nachos. All real good. Drink wise: the cocktails we all had were excellent, beer cold and wine on point. Tequila was excellent and the variety on hand was better than most bars or restaurants knowing that tequila is now the most popular Covid period spirit. And the view of downtown from Cabana......... sick. If you haven't been there go. Fun place, and yes........ lots to look at. read more

Great atmosphere and beautiful view of the lake. Only reason I gave it 3 stars is the service is slow, and the security especially at front when I visited over summer was horrible and causing problems. The guard did get fired the same week so I'm sure it's flowing better now. Looking forward to coming again soon. read more

So is it normal to fondle a guy's balls during a pat down? I genuinely want to know. During his pat down, a female security guard cradled my friend's testicles as she patted them at least 6-8 times. Aggressively. He said it almost hurt. She then proceeded to drop one of his $50 earplugs into a boardwalk crack and did not apologize or say/do anything. He had to get it out with a fork. I've emailed Cabana about this. I've also commented on their Instagram about this. Know what they did? Removed my comments instead of replying and offering to look into it. Disgusting, classless establishment. read more

Give the star for pretty waitresses. I've been to cabana several times this summer, Fridays are usually better and Sundays are the worst, water quality is very bad, dead bugs and garbages in the water. Last Sunday my friends and I (we are all girls) were chilling and floating in the pool, a group of guys (white and brown) came and ask if we are Chinese, we said yes and they flipped us into water. Despite of racism, what they did was also dangerous, you don't know us and we might be hurt. Never going back again. read more
