About The Duke of Enmore

The Duke of Enmore is Sydney’s loud, unpretentious haven for free live heavy music, wood-fired pizza, and cold beers. Steps from the Enmore Theatre, this rock-friendly haunt packs in local gigs, pool tables, and an easygoing crowd. Regulars pair schooners with the bar’s signature picklebacks before ordering a hot, blistered pie straight from the oven. Dogs are welcome inside and out, while winter brings folks together around the fireplace with chips and house gravy.

  • Free live rock & heavy gigs: Original bands, metal sets, and live-band karaoke run with high energy and no cover charge.
  • Pickleback tradition: A house signature: whiskey shots chased with tangy pickle brine alongside fresh craft beers on tap.
  • Dog-friendly inside and out: Four-legged companions are welcome both inside by the bar and across the outdoor spaces.
