The Australian Open is back, and while the world’s best tennis players battle it out on court, Melbourne’s most iconic venues are serving up their own winning experiences.
Across January, three Melbourne venues are delivering immersive Australian Open takeovers, each offering a distinctly different way to soak up the atmosphere – no AO ticket required.
Duke of Wellington x Jacob’s Creek: until 1 February 2026
146 Flinders Street, Melbourne
The Duke of Wellington rooftop has been transformed into a Jacob’s Creek Le Petit oasis for the Australian Open, combining the excitement of tennis season with refined summer style. Guests can sip from the AO’s official wine while soaking in lush florals, luxe Jacob’s Creek details, and photo-ready moments spanning the rooftop bar and ground floor.
Designed for long lunches, post-match catch-ups and relaxed wine-led afternoons, the reimagined oasis offers a polished escape from the crowds while still feeling firmly part of the AO buzz. It’s a go-to for those who like their tennis paired with good conversation and even better wine.
Hickens Hotel x Canadian Club: until 1 February 2026
127 Russell Street, Melbourne
For a more energetic take on AO season, Hickens Hotel delivers a full Canadian Club takeover across its rooftop and sports bar. Built for match-day excitement, the venue comes alive with live screenings, CC beer towers, a Canadian Club specialty menu and tennis-themed photo moments. A highlight for fans is $10 Canadian Club schooners, available exclusively through The Pass.
Whether it’s an after-work drink, a group catch-up or settling in for a big match, Hickens offers a lively, social setting where the tennis stays on all day, and the atmosphere carries well into the night.
Morris House x Grey Goose Tennis Club: until 1 February 2026
120 Exhibition Street, Melbourne
Where tennis meets glamour, Morris House transforms into the Grey Goose Tennis Club, an elevated Australian Open experience designed around style, celebration and indulgence.
Guests can sip from a curated Grey Goose martini menu, including cocktails inspired by the AO’s official Courtside Bar, enjoy luxe caviar pairings, and immerse themselves in chic tennis-themed photo ops throughout the venue.
The highlight cocktail of the month is the Grey Goose Lemon Ace, combining the timeless flavour of Grey Goose Vodka, French Sparkling lemonade, passionfruit syrup, and mint. Available for $17 this January exclusively with The Pass.
Interactive moments and exclusive prizes add a playful edge, while custom Grey Goose Tennis Club uniforms complete the polished, Riviera-inspired feel. As the final set plays out, Morris House becomes the place where AO afternoons seamlessly roll into unforgettable summer nights.
