Why it's worth checking out
MoshPit sits on King Street at Erskineville, near Newtown in Sydney's vibrant inner west. A characterful live-music bar, it's become a genuine fixture of the local scene — combining a great line-up of gigs and events with good drinks and a fun, eclectic atmosphere, the kind of vibrant, in-the-know spot that's a hub for live music in the inner west.
The appeal is that combination of a great live-music and events program, a buzzing atmosphere and a convenient location near Newtown, ideal for catching a gig, a fun night out or settling in for some live entertainment. The focus on live music gives it a real point of difference, and it's clearly become a beloved part of the inner-west music scene.

The live-music and events program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up before you go — particularly for a specific gig or event — though for a drink and a taste of the atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Erskineville.
