Dove & Olive - Surry Hills

What a cute little pub in Surry Hills within walking distance of Central Station. Came here for a 30th for dinner and drinks and got the closed balcony area. The food was excellent pub grub and inexpensive. Huge beer list on tap, unique cocktails and all the other usual drinks as well. Service is polite and sufficient as they accommodated most of our requests (eg., putting the cake in the freezer). Easy to spend a few hours here. On the night we were there, it was packed with people catching the rugby matches so it does get rowdy and crowded on the main floor. The upper floor is mainly for dining patrons.

Standard pub food. Their menus change with season and market. I've had their panfried salmon which at that time came with risotto and fish and chips. Salmon was good and the fish and chips was ok. This place has many seating and it's not too crowded during lunch hour

I ordered a steak at regular price and I think they gave me the leftover from express lunch which was on special before - the chips were hot, salad was fresh but the steak was only slightly warm and that's very strange - other than pre cooked steak I can't think of anything else. I told the staff, she offered me that they ll heat it up - I told her my steak was already medium well done if they heat it up wouldn't it become overcooked? And she told me "No" and I really wonder how a steak put back on to heat up would not get overcooked....no surprise it came out rough like wood so sent back to kitchen again and they redo it, yet still came out as well done so I just had some couldn't be bothered to send back for the 2nd time. Very disappointing good quality and service. Won't come again.

Great food especially the jalapeno burger and awesome trivia night on Tuesday! Also visited Sunday about a month ago and the roast was delicious and the craft beers were great! Did the whole night with a couple of beers and a roast for under $35!

A cool pub, large size with an upstairs area as well. They've got great pub food options and usually pretty tasty. I got a schnitzel with mushroom sauce, a side of fries and salad. Unfortunately maybe because the place was busy, it was a bit cold. We also got a side of sweet potato fries and hickory smoked mac and cheese balls. These were good. Footy is on tv and a good crowd. A great range of beers on tap. aroundtheclockfoodie.com
