Aperol Tennis Club

Overview

Looking for a spot to catch the Australian Open finals this weekend? Take a wander down to The Boatbuilders Yard. To celebrate Melbourne's tennis fever, the riverfront bar has transformed into a tennis club this January, with the help of Aperol.

You'll be watching all the hits on an outdoor screen, backdropped by the Yarra. Kick back in a deck chair with an Aperol spritz in hand (just $12 a pop) and a bunch of the Boaties' snacks. Among the menu's game-powering delights are haloumi fries with beetroot tahini ($13) and soft shell prawns with chilli jam, lime kewpie and togarashi ($16).

But the Aperol Tennis Club isn't just about watching and feasting. It's also about getting in on the action yourself. When you're ready to dominate with your serve and dazzle with your forehand, jump on the ping pong table and do your worst.

The club will be around until Sunday, January 27. Get there on Saturday, January 26 at 7.30pm for the Women's Singles Final and on Sunday at 7.30pm for the Men's Singles Final.
