Manning Bar Concerts 2025

Went and saw Cog Play over the weekend, was a great show. The venue itself isn't bad. Three levels and different set ups depending on the show happening. Was $10.50 for a beer but what can you do in Sydney but still ridiculous. Seemed clean and well maintained however.

I visited the place as I was attending a rock concert, i didn't have the chance to try the food. The bar was always crowded, but the staff was doing their best to clear customers as fast as possible. I feel the downside of this place is the sound, I don't mean loudness, but clarity of the sound. Other than that, it is pretty easy to access and leave. It is conveniently located in between Newtown and Broadway, which gives you transport options.

Went to a show here recently and was heavily pregnant. The show was a standing event only but due to my circumstances they accommodated and had a seat organised for me when I got there. The staff were all great to deal with and it was a smooth process. It meant I was able to see one of my favourite bands I’ve waited years to see. Made my year. I can’t thank the manning bar enough!

I’ve always loved coming to see bands at Thr Manning bar. Such a great venue to see live music! Staff were great and courteous. Had I known they had done food I would have ordered something to eat there too! Hope to see more gigs there in the future.

Nye was great, staff and security did a great job. On-site "food truck" was nice but the bathroom facilities did not handle the amount of people well at all.
