What is 1573 Australian Open?

Fun, Furbies, and Freebies from Friends of 1573

Enjoy 1573 with some free red sunglasses from my Panda friends


Celebrate with 1573 Liquor:
(Chinese Distillery with its name on the new Arena at the Australian Open)

Why 1573?
It is the year during the Ming Dynasty when they first started making Liquor, one of the oldest in China.

Luzhou Laojiao (official sponsor for 5 years at AO) is the name of the brewery.

Where is it from?
Sichuan, China (a province that is best known for its super spicy cuisine)

Style and Taste
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.


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" plus a couple of the other fine dining establishments there.

If you have a special invite, there is even a 1573 bar located just behind Rod Laver Stadium.

Aussie Open Ticket Advice


Buy Online the day before a match, not at the box office. They will offer digital tickets on Ticketmaster.

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