Is the CC Racquet Club the best thing about the Australian Open?

Well, obviously the tennis is pretty important, but the real action is at AO Hilltop (Birrarung Marr) where Canadian Club’s Racquet Club has returned for their eighth year. Kicking off over the weekend and running for the entirety of the tournament, CCRC invites attendees to enjoy tunes pumped out by resident DJ Gaz, while sipping on the new CC Soda & Lime (just 31 cals for you weight-watchers) or CC & Dry fresh from the tap. From the Racquet Club, you can watch the tennis on the big screen and chow down on Dingo Ate My Taco and The Real OG burgers, which we can confirm are out of control.

Oh, and did we mention the CCRC is non-ticketed? All you have to do is rock up and enjoy the good vibes, courtesy of the Canadian Club crew? What more could you ask for? Maybe Ash Barty’s first AO trophy… we’ll see how that goes… Check out the gallery above from the sunny launch of this year’s CCRC and try not to feel a little thirsty:
