Arbory Afloat - Capri | Yarra River Bar
2 Flinders Walk Melbourne
Melbourne's most loved floating bar and restaurant, Afloat, will re-berth as an Italian beach club inspired by the magical Island of Capri.
Melbourne's favourite floating bar and restaurant, Afloat, is returning for its ninth season on the Yarra River (Birrarung), re-berthing in early September as Afloat Capri - an Italian beach club inspired by one of the most iconic and magical Italian islands.
Expect an extensive cocktail menu that is citrus and aperitif driven, populated with fresh, smashable, and easy drinking Italian cocktails, as well as a food menu that has just as much of an emphasis on crowd-pleasing summer fun.
Afloat Capri will open for walk-ins in early September, with bookings available from 16 September. An exact opening date is yet to be announced but will be revealed in the coming weeks via Afloat's newsletter. Stay up to date and ensure you don't miss out on any of the exciting news, by signing up online.
The forecast is sun-drenched with familia, food and fun.

Capri
Arbory Afloat's ninth iteration is modelled after Capri's brightly coloured beach clubs, and will be Melbourne's unofficial home for sun-soaked spritz sessions.
Worry not if you didn't manage to get a European summer this year, for the Arbory Afloat crew is bringing a slice of it to Melbourne in early September 2024 - this time modelling the floating bar after Italian beach clubs.
This will be Arbory Afloat's ninth iteration, having drawn inspiration from Mexico in 2023, the Balearic Islands in 2022 and Turkey's Turquoise Coast in 2021. As it was with these past versions, the new Afloat Capri will have an entirely new look, food and drink lineup, and music and entertainment program.
We've been told to expect striped umbrellas with valances, plenty of lemon trees, colourful ceramic planters, terracotta tiled roofs and sorbet-hued walls covered in hand-painted illustrations. This will clearly be the number one destination for spritz-sippers in Melbourne this summer.
And that's not only because of its new design and watertop location. The drinks menu is sure to hit all the right spots as well, thanks to HQ Group's Head of Cocktails Tom Younger. He has spent many a month dreaming up the new Italian-inspired beverage menu, pumping it full of citrus- and aperitif-driven drinks that will go down all too easily on a hot Melbourne day.
"Each of the cocktails are designed for all-day drinking with friends and family. This includes a dedicated spritz section (think Aperol, Campari and Limoncello), over 30 different Negronis and a lineup of Pidapipo gelato-based frozen cocktails," shares Younger.
The food menu will also be stacked with crowd-pleasing dishes, from pizza and pasta to seafood platters and antipasti medleys. There's no going wrong with classic Italian seaside bites, especially when the group's Executive Chef James Gibson is running the show.
Arbory Capri will reopen in early September 2024, and can be found at 2 Flinders Walk, Melbourne. For more details and to book seats from Monday, September 16, you can visit the venue's website.
