If you’ve ever been to a show at the Enmore, you’ve unwittingly become part of Sydney history. Originally opened to the public in 1912, this 1,600-seat Art Deco palace is the longest-running live entertainment venue in the city. Nowadays, it's an enviable venue for touring bands, comedians, and live podcast shows in the funky heart of Newtown. Seriously, for a lot of Aussie acts, booking a gig at the Enmore means you’ve "made it".
Many fond memories have been forged here, from sweaty hardcore mosh pits to rib-tickling Sydney Comedy Festival galas. Not even a neon-lit refurbishment in 2021 (or that time the floor collapsed five minutes into a concert in 2022) could dull the slightly-grimy allure of a show here.
After you catch a show here, spill out onto Enmore Road to refuel at some of the best restaurants in one of Sydney's coolest neighbourhoods, and wash it all down at one of the best bars in Enmore.
How to get to Enmore Theatre
If you're catching the train, the Enmore is about six-minutes' walk from Newtown Station. If arriving by bus, the 355, 423, 426, 428, M30 services all stop out front of the theatre. Driving isn't recommended, as parking options are limited. Find out more about visiting the Enmore, including accessibility, over here.
