Heineken Silver has opened Club Silver, a contemporary open-air lawn bar at the Parnell Lawn Tennis Club in Auckland, running from early December through late January.

The pop-up brings “a modern spin to the country-club aesthetic: long lazy afternoons, striped parasols, polished greens, secret DJ sets, rotating food partners and a calendar of cultural takeovers,” said a release.

Founded in 1872, just eight years after Heineken was first brewed in Amsterdam, the Parnell Lawn Tennis Club is one of the oldest lawn tennis clubs in the world. Club Silver marks the first time in decades the club has opened its courts to the public.

Located between Auckland Domain and the city skyline, Club Silver is designed as a relaxed summer destination for visitors to enjoy outdoor gatherings before heading into the city’s nightlife.

“We wanted to make Club Silver impossible to miss. Every channel works hard to drive discovery, foot traffic,” said DB Breweries Marketing Director Fraser Shrimpton..

“We were really excited to be able to broadcast live DJ moments across Auckland in real time, from roaming digital trucks to high-impact OOH. We turned the energy of the club into a stream of live content that can find people wherever they are.”

Special PR led on creative ideation, brand experience and media relations, while Dentsu Aotearoa orchestrated a nationwide media plan spanning outdoor, digital, Uber, Spotify and socials. Saatchi & Saatchi NZ have worked across the Heineken “Join the Club” brand platform activity.

Club Silver is open every Friday and Saturday from 2-8 pm through January 31. For more info, you can visit clubheineken.co.nz.
