Olivine wine bar is nestled inside of the 170-year-old heritage-listed bluestone walls of the former HM Pentridge Prison.
You will meet your host to guide you through this unconventional space, until you find yourself in velvet-clad, faintly lit booths. Hidden away, the only distraction here is our novel-like book of wine, your key to our walk in cellar.
Olivine is a place for all from the most passionate to those just beginning their journey of wine. Our list is written in a way that encourages you to sample different regions, we hope you'll come away with a few new favorites or some wines to add to the bucket list.
Walk-ins are subject to availability. Booth seating cannot be guaranteed but we aim to accommodate guest requests where we can.
Say ciao to summer with Aperol Spritz. Enjoy 2 for 1 Aperol Spritz and feast on a selection of our signature tasty bites. Our sun downer hour is available from 5 pm to 6 pm Tuesday - Wednesday -Thursday

Beautiful venue, food was beautiful.
Unfortunately though the service wasn't good... aside from when we were first seated, we had to flag down staff to order, when one member of the table said they didn't want a drink the server didn't ask the rest of us and sped out. We had to ask for water twice and were still left with 3 glasses for 4 people. The whole vibe was rude, and it just felt like we were an inconvenience. Hoping it was just a bad night, as I've otherwise heard great things

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.

We were late for our booking, but still had over an hour for late afternoon drinks. We were constantly reminded that we had to be finished by 5.45 because there was another booking for this space. We were conscious to finish anyway, we had another event to go to ourselves. the last of our bottle was poured with 20 mins to go, but we then were reminded with the bill, then payment, then reminded again. We created a relaxed ambience for our group of 4, but the wait staff were just too too pushy about the time limit. Yes guys, we knew, and were finished before your deadline, - please just let us relax within your time limit. It took away from the ambience of this beautiful space.
