Style and Taste

1573 Arena at the Australian Open
In its pure form - the clear liquor is more than 50% Alcoholic.

It is one of the most premium forms of "baijiu," as it is called in China. Some say it has the strong scent of fermented peaches.

Watch the AO's celebration with a Lion Dance Performance.





Where can I try some at the Australian Open?

The public can try a cocktail with the clear baijiu mix in a tasty glass.

Served at "Nobu" and "Rockpool: Bar and Grill".

Also available at a couple of the other fine dining establishments there.


You can even visit the 1573 bar behind Rod Laver Stadium with a special invite.

Aussie Open Ticket Advice

Buy online the day before a match, never at the box office. 

During the 1st week, we recommend ground passes since the stadium seats are all decent.

The middle weekend is when you need to splurge because it gets crowded.
