Captain Baxter will be closed from 14th May until early October.

Captain Baxter is getting all dolled up for summer.

We are where we live, on the beach, and we have decided to give ourselves a huge beachside make-over this winter.

In the meantime, we will be taking Christmas Function enquiries [email protected] or check out brother venue Republica, St Kilda Beach downstairs www.republica.net.au for restaurant or function bookings or sister venue Encore St Kilda www.encorestkilda.com.au for larger scale events.

We will be back with a whole new look, after winter. We look forward to seeing you then!
