Glow-in-the-Dark Tennis
While the Aus Open is in town, challenge your mates to some neon-fuelled tennis action — complete with cocktails and DJs.
Overview
Grand Slam fever is set to take hold of Melbourne this month when the Australian Open returns for its 2023 edition. But if you'd like to get in on some tennis action yourself, you'll want to bust out the fluoro and hit Ballers Clubhouse.
From Saturday, January 14–Sunday, January 29, the sprawling bar sports venue will be causing a 'racquet' of its own, with the Glow-in-the-Dark Tennis tournament. Here, punters of all skill levels can get their neon kicks battling it out on one of the most unique tennis courts around — one where the balls, racquets and even the outfits will be lighting up the darkened space in a riot of bright colours.
While you play, there'll be DJs on the decks until late, as well as an exclusive glow-in-the-dark Canadian Club cocktail to get you in the mood — and the real AO playing on the projector screens. Plus, there are plenty of prizes up for grabs. And if your own wardrobe is lacking in neon, simply hit the pop-up costume shop for some luminous threads to really make you stand out on court.
More glow-in-the-dark fun comes courtesy of an LED ball pit, while Ballers' usual games offering can also see you challenging your mates to the likes of shuffleboard, flaming ping pong and darts. An all-games pass comes in at $34, including your first cocktail.
Walk-ins are welcome, or you can book a time online.
