Cabana Pool Bar Toronto: Polson Pier Day Club, 2026 Lineup & Review

Q: Where is Cabana Pool Bar located?

Cabana Pool Bar is at 11 Polson Street, Toronto, ON M5A 1A4, on Polson Pier in the Port Lands. It shares an address with sister venue Rebel — Cabana is the outdoor day-club portion of the Polson Pier complex. It's not on a subway line; most guests rideshare or drive. Cabana also runs the same free shuttle to Union Station as Rebel, from 4pm onwards on event days.

Q: When is Cabana Pool Bar open?

Cabana Pool Bar is seasonal — open roughly late May through early September each year, primarily Saturdays and Sundays from around 1pm. Friday and special ticketed events run throughout the summer. The 2026 season opens Sunday, May 31, 2026. Closed October through May.

Q: What is the 2026 Cabana lineup?

Cabana's 2026 confirmed lineup includes Timmy Trumpet on May 31 (opening day), Major Lazer on June 7, Kyle Cooke on June 13, Twinsick on June 14, Audien on June 21, Sundia (presented by We Party) on June 26, and Meduza on June 28 — with more dates added through the summer. Buy via Ticketmaster, Ticketweb, or check cabanapoolbar.com for the current schedule.

Q: How much is cover at Cabana?

Standard Saturday and Sunday cover is approximately $20 for general entrance. Important: some events charge a separate fee for pool access on top of the entrance fee — read your ticket carefully. Ladies typically get free entry before 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays via guestlist. Big-name DJ events run on per-event ticket pricing and can scale significantly above the standard cover.

Q: How much is bottle service at Cabana?

Cabana bottle service ranges from roughly $500–$1,000 minimums for standard chaise / daybed setups, $1,500–$2,500 for premium cabanas with pool-side views, and $3,000+ for the elevated VIP cabanas or sold-out ticketed-event setups. Mid-range bottles run $400–$500. A cabana booking includes entrance for your group and skips the line.

Q: What is the dress code at Cabana?

Cabana enforces a sophisticated casual chic beach attire dress code. Swimwear is welcomed and expected. Not permitted: baggy clothing, jeans, basketball shorts. Personal towels are not allowed — rentals or purchases are available on site. The vibe is Miami pool party rather than strict club code.

Q: Can I arrive at Cabana by boat?

Yes. Cabana has a docking area for boats and yachts of all sizes — docking is free and first come, first served. Guests arriving by boat still need to present valid event tickets or pay the regular venue entry rate once they step off. It's one of Cabana's most distinctive features.

Q: What music does Cabana play?

Cabana programs international house, EDM and electronic music as the core sound, with hip-hop crossover on themed weekends. The 2026 lineup leans heavily EDM and house — Major Lazer, Audien, Meduza, Timmy Trumpet — with separate Caribana, Latin and special-event programming throughout summer.

Q: What is the age limit at Cabana?

Cabana Pool Bar is 19+ — Ontario's legal drinking age — and government-issued photo ID is required at the door. The day-club setting means the venue ID-checks consistently even in daylight.

Q: How do you get to Cabana?

Cabana is on Polson Pier — not on a subway line. Most guests rideshare or drive (parking lot across the street; $20 on weekends). Boats can dock at no charge. The free Rebel/Cabana shuttle runs to and from Union Station from 4pm onwards on event days. For Caribana weekend and other peak events, expect 40–50 minute traffic delays getting in and out.

Cabana is the closest Toronto gets to a Las Vegas pool club, and it knows it. A 2,500-cap outdoor club on Polson Pier with twelve cabanas, an octagonal pool, and a 2026 booking budget that brings Major Lazer, Audien and Meduza to the stage. It's May through September only, which is exactly long enough — nothing about this room would survive a Toronto October.

What you're paying for is the pool, the production, and the fact that nothing else like this exists in the city. House and EDM dominate the music, Latin gets a Saturday rotation, and the bottle service tier scales like a destination club. Cabanas with pool sightlines start in the thousands; standing tickets are workable for a casual crowd that just wants to be there.

Honest read: weather-dependent in a way no indoor club is, the door gets strict for marquee events, and the line on a Major Lazer Saturday is real. It's also genuinely the only Toronto venue selling this specific experience — rooftop tiers like Lavelle aren't the same thing — which is why people put up with the rest of it.

Bottom line: book the cabana for a birthday or a milestone Saturday between June and August. Major Lazer in 2026, Audien in 2026, Meduza in 2026 — if any of those names mean anything to you, the venue's already on your list.

Getting there — and the shuttle home

Cabana is at 11 Polson Street, Polson Pier — same address as Rebel.
Not on a subway line. Most guests rideshare or drive.
Driving: Gardiner E to Jarvis, Lake Shore E, right on Cherry, right on Polson, continue to the pier.
Parking lot across the street; weekdays free before 4pm, $10 after 4pm, $20 on weekends.
Free Rebel/Cabana shuttle to and from Union Station, from 4pm onwards on event days — runs every 20 minutes till late.
Caribana weekend: heavy construction traffic in/out. Drop off at Keating Channel Pub & Grill and walk 10-15 minutes for the fastest entry.

Arriving by boat — the yacht dock

Cabana has its own dock for boats and yachts of all sizes.
Docking is free and first come, first served.
Guests arriving by boat still need to present valid event tickets or pay the regular venue entry rate once they step off.
One of the few venues in Toronto where you can genuinely arrive by water.

Dress code

Sophisticated casual chic beach attire. Swimwear welcomed and expected.
Not permitted: baggy clothing, jeans, basketball shorts.
Personal towels not allowed — rentals and purchases are available on site.
The vibe is Miami pool party rather than strict nightclub code, but the venue does turn guests away for ill-fitting attire.

Insider tips

Arrive before 2:30pm to skip the door line and the heat — lines build fast for big events.
Ladies-on-guestlist before 3pm is the cleanest free entry path on Sat/Sun.
Pre-book a cabana if your group is 6+ — the walk-in chaise/daybed setups go quickly on event days.
The complimentary hair & makeup for ladies on Sat/Sun is real — ask staff when you arrive.
If you want a quieter day — pick a weekday with a confirmed event but no major headliner.
Sister venue Rebel is the indoor night-club at the same address — some weekends Cabana wraps and Rebel picks up the same crowd later.

About Cabana Pool Bar

Toronto's outdoor day-club on Polson Pier — INK Entertainment + Oliver & Bonacini.

Cabana Pool Bar is a 50,000 square foot, 2,500-capacity outdoor day-club at 11 Polson Street, on Polson Pier in Toronto's Port Lands. It opened in 2014 as a Miami-style summer pool party added to the same complex that hosts Rebel next door. The venue's from Charles Khabouth and INK Entertainment — same group behind Rebel, DPRTMNT, and historically the Guvernment — with food and events run by Oliver & Bonacini, whose chef Jamie Meireles leads the kitchen.

The space is built around an octagonal saltwater pool, surrounded by 12 elevated private cabanas, 42 deluxe chaise lounges, a 100-foot poolside bar, a 12x21 outdoor LED screen, a raised 133-foot VIP mezzanine overlooking the pool and Toronto skyline, and a yacht dock for guests arriving by water. It runs seasonally — late May through early September, primarily Saturdays and Sundays from 1pm, with ticketed Friday and special events through summer. The 2026 season opens Sunday May 31 with Timmy Trumpet, followed by Major Lazer (June 7), Audien (June 21), Meduza (June 28), and additional headliners through summer. International house, EDM and electronic music carry the core sound, with hip-hop crossover for Caribana and themed events.

The free Rebel/Cabana shuttle to Union Station runs from 4pm onwards on event days — the same operational benefit Rebel offers at night. Public reviews are split: production, view, lineup and the pool itself draw consistent praise; service consistency, tiered pricing (entrance vs entrance+pool), and the bottle-service-driven dynamic draw recurring criticism. The model favours guests who pre-book a cabana with a group on a confirmed-headliner day. For other outdoor and big-room options, the best clubs in Toronto guide sorts by area, music and vibe.

A dedicated server for the day
Bottle pricing for ticketed headliner events may scale up significantly

How this compares

Cabana's $500 entry is at the lower end of Toronto bottle-service pricing — comparable to sister venue Rebel next door and meaningfully less than King West rooms. For sold-out headliner events (Major Lazer, Meduza), expect minimums to scale up significantly.

For a group of 8–10 guests, a standard $500 chaise/daybed setup works out to roughly $50–$65 per person for a reserved spot in the sun and 1–2 bottles split across the group.

Cabana pricing varies by event, headliner and day of week. Submit a request with your date and group size and we'll confirm current options.
