Melbourne has never done summer quietly, and this Australian Open season, Grey Goose is giving the city its most stylish tennis moment yet.
From riverfront padel courts at Crown to martinis and caviar at Morris House, and poolside match screenings at W Melbourne, the vodka house has created a city-wide tennis club that blends sport, socialising and signature cocktails in true Melbourne fashion.
At the centre of it all is the Grey Goose Lemon Ace — a bright, citrus-driven serve that’s quickly becoming this season’s drink of choice.
Crown Racquet Club: Where Melbourne plays
Running from 12 January to 11 April, the Crown Racquet Club Served by Grey Goose has landed directly on the Yarra River, creating one of the most visually striking pop-ups of the summer.
Two panoramic padel courts sit along the riverwalk, framed by skyline views and a rooftop DJ booth that sets the energy from early morning through to late night. It’s a true “club within a club”: part sport, part social scene, and entirely designed to be watched as much as played.
From midday, the riverside bar comes alive with Grey Goose serves, including the Lemon Ace, Break Point and 40 Love, while Crown’s signature kitchens deliver a menu that feels more Riviera than racquet club. Expect spanner crab rolls and oysters from Bistro Guillaume, bao and skewers from Ging Thai Kitchen, and Mediterranean-leaning plates from Marmont — all designed for grazing between rallies or lingering long after play ends.
Whether you’re booking a court or just settling in for sunset drinks by the water, this is easily one of Melbourne’s most elevated new summer spaces.

Morris House becomes the Grey Goose Tennis Club
Just minutes from Melbourne Park, Morris House has been transformed into the Grey Goose Tennis Club for the Australian Open, creating a polished day-to-night destination for tennis lovers who prefer their matches served with martinis and caviar.
Downstairs, it’s all about refined indulgence: Grey Goose martinis (including a parmesan-washed version), a hero Osetra black caviar box, truffle toasties, arancini, fried chicken and curated cheese and charcuterie boards.
As the evening sets in, DJs, bottle service and mini martini shots take over, turning the venue into one of the Open’s most glamorous after-dark stops.
Up on the rooftop, the Lemon Ace flows under the open sky — making it one of the city’s most coveted places to toast match point.

Poolside tennis at W Melbourne
For those who prefer their tennis with a side of skyline and sun loungers, W Melbourne’s WET® Deck has been reimagined as the Grey Goose Pool Club from 19 January to 1 February.
Giant poolside screens broadcast every match, while curated food and cocktail packages make it easy to settle in for a full day (or night) of play. Whether you’re going for the lighter Opening Set or the indulgent Full Serve, expect elevated share plates, chilled Grey Goose cocktails and a distinctly resort-style atmosphere — right in the heart of the CBD.

This Australian Open season, Grey Goose isn’t just sponsoring tennis — it’s turning Melbourne into a sprawling, stylish tennis club, where cocktails, courts, rooftops and riverside bars all serve up their own version of the perfect match.
And honestly? We wouldn’t want it any other way. ????????
