Floating Tennis Court on The Yarra at LE CLUB LACOSTE for AO
Lacoste, the iconic French brand and pioneer of fashion-sport with a rich tennis heritage, is bringing its celebrated LE CLUB LACOSTE experience to Australia for the very first time. We are excited to attend the launch of this exciting and historical experience! (Check out our social media later in the week).
LE CLUB LACOSTE MELBOURNE will transform the iconic AFLOAT restaurant and bar into a floating tennis club right in the heart of the city. From 16 January to 1 February 2026, the on-water venue will become the ultimate spot for dining during the Australian Summer of tennis.
Featuring a floating 20+ metre-long Lacoste Court extension and a pop-up store selling Melbourne-exclusive Lacoste apparel, tennis fans can enjoy a bespoke French-inspired Lacoste food & drinks menu while enjoying the venue's uninterrupted views of the Yarra River and the city's eclectic skyline. From Monday 1 December 2025, guests can book a slot to rally in true Lacostestyle or simply lounge, dine, and catch live tennis on the dedicated screens at the venue.
On Friday, 16 January 2026, Lacoste will debut the LE CLUB LACOSTE MELBOURNE concept with a launch party that enlists some of the city’s favourite party DJs including Edd Fisher (Waxo Paradiso) and JNETT to set the mood while guests attempt to ‘ace’ each other on the court as summer days transition into summer nights. Lacoste ambassadors in-town will enjoy the event alongside key media and tastemakers to create a memorable Melbourne evening. We can't wait!
