Hot weather? Check. A hankering for an icy alcoholic beverage? Check. Knowing that tennis is going to be on televisions everywhere? Check again. Welcome to January in Brisbane, where watching folks hit balls around a court comes second only to complaining about the heat. No wonder we're all so thirsty.
And, no wonder that the Treasury Casino has whipped up the perfect pop-up bar for the occasion, aka their Treasury Summer Nights Courtyard Pop-Up. Three things are on the agenda: watching and playing the sport in question (and other games), listening to live music, and enjoying a frosty drink.
It's the kind of summer hangout you wouldn't expect in the heart of the CBD, as well as a great place to knock back a few froses and Cooper's brews on a heap of chill out lounges. Head along on Friday evenings in January from 5pm, with a special Thursday event happening on Australia Day.
