Olivine has transformed Pentridge into a stunning cocktail bar. The design of the space is impressive, and it’s not the only thing that's exquisite here - the food and cocktails are delicate and bursting with flavour, while the staff is consistently attentive. This is definitely a place worth becoming a regular customer.
