Not your ordinary hospitality group.

Hospitality is at the heart of our ethos. It's not just about attentive service – though we pride ourselves on that, too – but about cultivating a sense of home, a place where your desires are anticipated, your quirks celebrated, and your experience meticulously curated. Our venues are strictly pokie-free zones, dedicated to fostering genuine connections rather than transactional interactions. We champion local artists, with live music and performances woven into our fabric, enriching our venues and adding to their unique identities. In preserving the legacy of Sydney’s beloved pubs and nurturing vibrant new spaces, Odd Culture Group honours the past while looking forward, ensuring our venues remain havens for our community, now and for decades to come.
