For craft beer and quirky pub fare, Surry Hills locals drop into Dove & Olive on Devonshire Street. Step through the door and be enveloped in a warm, rustic vibe with hanging leadlight lights, pale wood tables and leather couch seating, opening onto a green courtyard, where guests can perch on a stool, ale in hand and catch up with friends. Plating up Mod Oz fare with a hint of American comfort, choose from starters like spicy buttermilk chicken wings with Tommy Gun sauce and blue cheese dip, before tucking into an award-winning pie such as braised beef and vegetables, with stout gravy, mash and mushy peas. Those who like a hint of heat may be tempted by chicken, shrimp and chorizo jambalaya with roasted capsicum and Cajun spices, not forgetting daily specials and a classic Sunday roast.
