The inspired architecture and waterfront location of Poolside Cafe @ Andrew (Boy) Charlton is the Domain’s best kept secret. Located on the fringe of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the cafe has a prime position with the leafy precinct of Mrs Macquarie’s Point on one side and the Woolloomooloo Wharf on the other.

Enjoy the panoramic views over  Sydney Harbour and watch the lapping swimmers from behind the café’s floor to ceiling glass windows or the open-air terrace.  Pool patrons can pop upstairs to grab a bite to eat or you can breeze in from the Domain for all-day breakfast & coffee or enjoy lunch with a glass of wine. 

Poolside Cafe is open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch and is fully licensed (Hours vary during pool off-season) Suspended over the pool, Poolside Cafe @ Andrew (Boy) Charlton is also a striking venue for corporate events, product launches, fashion shows, weddings & private parties. Combine a modern Australian menu with the contemporary architectural edge of the Poolside Café to create a spectacular cocktail event or intimate private dining at one of Sydney’s most stylish harbour side venues.

This unique venue seats up to 50 guests for breakfast, lunch or dinner events and 100 guests for cocktail receptions.   There is ample metered parking nearby on Mrs Macquarie’s Road and car parking stations are located within walking distance at The Domain & St Mary’s Cathedral.
