Moonshine Bar

The social centrepiece of the Mile is Moonshine Bar. This is where you can get a drink, get fed, pull up a deck chair or dance the night away.

Moonshine Bar is your ultimate harbourside hangout at Sydney Festival. Get stuck into 12 nights of free live music from some of our city’s favourite acts and DJs – slinging feel-good grooves, full-throttle floor-fillers and everything in between.

Moonshine Bar is a licensed venue – patrons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This venue is on The Thirsty Mile for Sydney Festival 2025.
