Contact

The Rover is a timeless neighbourhood staple in the belly of Surry Hills. On approach from the street, the promise of great conversation and affable hospitality lures you inside to be greeted like an old friend.

The cosily-lit ambience invites you to lean in close around a table, or pull up a stool at the copper-topped bar, for freshly shucked Sydney Rock oysters accompanied by a crisp martini or a selection of quaffable, punchy wines from near and afar.

Whether you’re dropping in at the bar before a nearby dinner reservation or settling into a night with us, The Rover is the quintessential neighbourhood spot, both comfortingly familiar and a little new every time.
