Captain Baxter

Captain Baxter is a celebrated rooftop beach bar and restaurant perched atop the historic St Kilda Sea Baths complex on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda, Melbourne, offering panoramic views of St Kilda Beach and Port Phillip Bay. The venue draws inspiration from tropical beach bungalows of the 1920s, featuring a fully retractable roof, outdoor deck with large umbrellas, and comfortable lounge furniture that creates a breezy yet sophisticated coastal ambience. A Pan-Asian inspired menu blends diverse culinary traditions and fresh ingredients, complemented by a cocktail list renowned for the Porn Star Martini, an extensive wine selection, and craft beers including Carlton Draught on tank. Live DJs backed by bongos and saxophones perform regularly, bringing an electric energy to beachside evenings. Open Thursday through Sunday, Captain Baxter has been recognised among the best rooftop bars in the world for its unparalleled combination of views, cuisine, and atmosphere.
