Proudly awarded the Australian Good Food Guide’s Readers’ Choice Best Pub in Sydney multiple times, we offer a function menu designed to impress. Choose from delicious canapés, all your favourite pub classics, or formal two- and three-course dining. To complement the food, our bar offers one of Surry Hills’ best selections - from classic cocktails and a curated wine list to 26 rotating craft beers on tap. With everything from easy-drinking Australian drops to bold international flavours, there’s something to suit every guest.
Conveniently located just a short walk from Central Station and only one block from the Surry Hills Light Rail stop, The Dove & Olive is one of Sydney’s most accessible inner-city function venues.
