Afloat Melbourne
Afloat is a seasonal floating restaurant and bar located on the North Bank of the Yarra River (Birrarung) in the heart of Melbourne’s city centre.
An ever-evolving hospitality venture, the venue comes to life annually between September and June. With each season’s reopening, the venue undergoes a complete refit, unveiling a brand new, exotic and summer-loving theme annually.
The 2025-2026 season embraces all the rhythm, flavour and colour of Brazil's marvellous seaside city of Rio de Janeiro, with caipirinhas, salty beach snacks and samba-shaking fun in tow.
