Drink
Aperol Spritz is one of the official partners of the Australian Open and if you are on location at the tennis they are hosting an Aperol pop up called “Terrazza Aperol” for you enjoy a cocktail while you watch the tennis. If you are off location during the Aus Open, Melbourne is packed with exceptional cafes and rooftop bars to enjoy a drink post match. Some of our favourites are Rooftop Bar, Siglo and Naked for Satan.
