For many, January is a time to put everything else on pause to avidly embrace the tennis — that's watching, talking about and obsessing over the Australian Open. If you can't be right in the thick of it in Melbourne, the next best thing to do is to round up the crew to watch it on a big screen outdoors, while cracking open a few cold ones. Throw in a couple of pre- and post-game swims and you've got yourself a quintessential Aussie summer.
Making all of this possible is Coogee Bay Hotel, as the beachside pub is bringing the Australian Open to Sydney shores. From Monday, January 20 till Sunday, February 2, the garden and sports bars will be screening the tennis live and loud so you don't miss a minute.
As you watch, you can sip an Aperol spritz or enjoy a pint of Stella Artois from one of the pop-ups in the garden or inside bars. And should you get hungry, you can nab a burger and schooey special for $25. Between sets, challenge your mates to a spot of ping pong and enter one of the giveaways, with hats, fans and sunnies all up for grabs.
