About The Gully Public House & Garden

The Gully Public House & Garden is a long-standing pub on North East Road in Tea Tree Gully. It has a heritage front bar, a cocktail bar called Mr Jones, a bistro and a large garden that steps down over several levels. Functions can use a range of spaces. The garden has a lower deck, a middle deck with booths, an upper garden booth and an outside deck, while the patio and bistro balcony suit sit-down groups. Mr Jones has couches by the fireplace, booths and high tables. The lower deck has the most room, holding 120 for a cocktail party or 70 seated. Half of the lower deck takes 40 standing, the outside deck and Mr Jones each suit about 50, and the smaller booths seat 12 to 20. The kitchen offers alternate-drop set menus for 24 or more, at $38 for two courses or $46 for three. Platters of about 30 pieces each include sliders, skewers, pastries, pork belly and sweets. Drinks packages for 50 or more run four or five hours from $55 per person. Hosts can also run a bar tab on consumption or a subsidised tab where guests pay part of each drink. Every area runs on a minimum spend that counts both food and the bar tab, from $1,000 for a garden booth up to $3,000 for the lower deck or Mr Jones. A $500 payment secures the date, and the balance is due 14 business days ahead.
