Reviews of Moon Pizza Music and Beer Bar

E.

Great dark space atmosphere, was live jazz on multiple occasions. Really great service from staff who were very busy and put up with stupid requests. It's a little expeny so go during specials like pizza night (which there are a few vegetarian options for) or during events like standup comedy. Thanks again.

F.

BEST pizza in the Capital! Can't go past Wednesday $10 deal - whole family devours one each. And Moon's grunge ambience tops it all off.

D.

This was a surprise. We have chosen a hotdog from the Hobdog event. I have not expected such an interesting place with that flair. I have not expected that quality food at all. The hotdog was really nice. And the selection of drinks available incl non alcoholic ones is really good. Wil lol come back for sure.

S.

The Good: Syd Barrett(Great) , Fire Shield Feta( amazing ) The bad: only 2 servers and the place was full. Covid making things hard but staff did their best. Handpulled beer was not great. The ugly: we got charged extra. So, we had 2 beers, 1 pizza and 1 platter of $25. Charged $90 but was supposes to be $70 approx. I understand they were busy but still it's a big amount. We realized after we came home from dinner and checked our bank account. I hope to get a beer on house next time 😅 #kidding 😉😉 Gave 4 star for great food and smile and took 1 star away for extra $30 charge.

R.

While the food was great and I loved the overall theme and vibe of the place, our server made me pretty uncomfortable and it kind of soured the whole experience if I'm honest. It's such a shame because I would have had a really good time otherwise. I was excited to visit for the first time in many years but unfortunately I don't think I'll be back now.

J.

Phoned up on my landline and asked to be abducted by Aliens. Felt slightly patronised, but was informed of the menu. Tried said menu and was impressed. Not sure about one of the staff wearing short shorts in the depths of winter, but thats something he needs to re ponder with and didn't take away from the fantastic range of creft ber.

S.

I LOVE MOON PIZZA. Best in Welly!! p.s. also yummy beers & groovy jazz

M.

Great food, awesome service and staff. Music is always good live to enjoy food and great beer choices on Tap

J.

Such an amazing evening at the launch of Mo Etc.' Dance track from her debut album Oceanbed. Incredible event, the drinks were good too.

E.

Our fabulous local. Friendly. Varied. Chill. Community minded. Lots of awesome live music.

L.

Live music 🎶 amazing talent! Food delicious. Staff so cool and welcoming

S.

A really fun place to hang out & listen to some live music. With comfy seating, good pizza, craft beers, & a fun neighborhood environment, you could stay here for hours!

I.

Moon has been my favourite Wellington bar for a long time. Great food (fantastic pizzas!), amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. Moon feels like a community spot where everyone is welcome. Oh and always a nice selection of craft beers and lots of great live music!

f.

Awesome chill vibes, regular live music, great pizza and drinks. A definite Wellington classic.

D.

I come into the moon quite often as it's our local. Love the hand pull beer especially on Thursdays when there's a 20 percent discount. Also my favourite wine.. the Mudhouse merlot is available and it's cheap so win win. Staff are friendly and it has a cool vibe about it. Worth visiting especially when there's a band playing!

R.

Great Ambience as well as great Pizza, and to top it all off , they have awesome Pinball machines !! :-) :-) :-)

W.

Awesome place :) good beer and nice looking bar!

S.

Great venue. Good selection of beer and food.

f.

First time here Saturday night for a coupla beers. Great atmosphere/decor (my taste completely) Denim clad Vinyl spinner was on point and cool dressed/chilled table staff, def back for foods and a longer night lag next time. Cheers.

S.

Good pizzas, wide range of craft beers and ciders. Fun decor and regular live music. Was a clarinet and keyboard playing Jazz. Do you like Jazz? All pizzas $10 on Wednesday

D.

They host live gigs here where the up and coming perform. Went to watch the sister Sam (beautiful and talented) and some others do their muso thing here. Casual bar with some really expensive odd tasting craft beer. I was not a fan but others were. They did offer a good bourbon and coke deal though for the limited palate such as mine 🙂

H.

Great live music. Friendly atmosphere.

H.

Located on thr main street running through Newtown in Wellington, it seemed an ok place. Only went in for a drink after dinner, so can't really comment on the food/service etc. The had a range of craft beers and cider on tap. $10 for a cider is not too bad for a Wellington bar. They have regular live music from local performers which is cool. I would go there again.

P.

Rather enjoyable, didn't see much pizza though

D.

Went for Hop Dogs 2021. Excellent food and beer! Really loved the vibe, and plan to go back for some music shows.

T.

My favourite bar, pizza and gigs in Wellington.

c.

Best barperson ever. You know who you are.

R.

Always good to visit. The music is great, the crowd eclectic and the bar staff are friendly and equally as interesting the music and patrons. Wednesday night pizza is a bargain and tasty.

S.

Excellent pizza, bread strips and beer. Love the pub quiz on Mondays, great music and atmosphere. Bonus points for being dog friendly!

C.

Great staff and food, music varies from pandemonium to prodigal

K.

Great place, awesome little local, great food and service, highly recommend checking out if you're in the area!

C.

Pizza is great (fries not so great) and they have a wide variety of craft beer, but the service is soooo slow when it is even a little bit busy. Staff are friendly though.

e.

My wife and I stopped in for a beer one afternoon and stayed for 3. A great little dive bar with an awesome bartender (Thomas). Thomas sat there and conversed with us and provided us with great recommendations for the area and was an absolute delight to have met. Great beer selection!

S.

Wide range of beers and great $10 pizzas on a Wednesday! Loved the pepperoni pizza 🍕

M.

We have been coming here for the past 18 months on Wednesday for the $10.00 pizzas and the free music. What we love about it is firstly the staff there are very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and gets better all the time And the music shows that there are so many talented musicians in NZ. It's the highlight of our week.

H.

Good food, good portions (though more sauce to go with the fries is needed.) Went to see Alien Comedy, was not dissapointed.

M.

Stopped by for a pizza and a couple beers. Pizza was amazing, true European style, don't see many pizzas like that in NZ. Tom the bartender took great care of us with a great selection of fairly priced beers on tap. Will definitely be back

G.

Moon1 bar and pizzeria was a great Friday night spot presenting live entertainment and affordable priced pizza menu we had a blast!!!!

K.

Cool bar with some funky live tunes every now and again. Good selection of beers on tap and delicious pizza

I.

First time here and really enjoyed it. We came I for a quick bite, which turned into pizza, beer, and a game of jenga! There was a really good selection of beers, and the music and atmosphere was good. There was a good selection of pizza too, and liked that they could all be done gluten free. However, I did think that there were limited side options, which seemed odd as there was an option to have a choice of 3 sides for a fixed rate. We enjoyed our pizza, but it did come with extra toppings which we'd asked not to have. There was also no half-and-half option for pizza. Despite this, I would be happy to go there again!

M.

We love the place as the staff are very friendly helpful. The pizzas, salad, chips and ice cream are all so tasty and good value. On Wednesday they have $10.00 pizzas and free music. There are other things going on during the rest of the week. Check it out.

P.

Keep going back for more. Still quite new to me but the hospitality is fantastic and it feels like I've been part of the furniture for ages. Great pizza and the other menu items are also delicious. Real hub of Wellington peeps and culture.

B.

Best bar in Newtown, esp if you want live music. Their pizza is great too 🍕

V.

Nice place and good beer choice. We were there early evening before the band started, and our only complaint is the background music was too loud for conversation. We would have stayed longer... but couldn't hear each other..

M.

On the main road of Newtown, public transport is available to get to and from this place. Chilled atmosphere, Craft beers, DJ night's also. Pizza by the slice is available too.

G.

Awesome staff, food and beers. Kid friendly. Great octopump event!

E.

Good spot to grab a drink and a snack during the evening. One of Newtowns coolest little bars, Moon frequently has live music performances and speciality cocktails. Not to mention a few board games if you ever have a group of you going.

S.

Nice quiet environment during the day day and early evening. Loud bands at night. Great beer range and good food.

P.

Great bar with local music, excellent local beer and pinball. The pizza is nicely priced and tasty but mine had way too much sauce - the toppings slid off and you might need a bib.

R.

This is my favourite hangout spot near to my home in Newtown. Amazing service and greAt drinks. Special mention to Dayne for his amazing service. He made us feel like we are at home. Highly recommend this place.

P.

One of the best bars in Newtown, good beer and friendly staff.

R.

Yummy pizza and attractive bar staff

R.

Went on a Wednesday and the beer/shots/pizza/live music/ambience was all top notch! Go go go! There's always something cool going on here and the beers and wines are nice, varied, and tasty! It's the Newtown hub ;)

P.

Always great beer and pizza

J.

Moon is the spiritual successor to Mighty Mighty and other classic Cuba St bars of old. There are loads of craft beer options on tap; delicious munchies and snacks available from the kitchen; and nice lounge-y seating with a few tables fronting onto the street for smokers and al fresco seating. If you're into pinball, this is the place to be - there's a good number of machines and it's quite the tribute to this mostly forgotten gaming medium. If you live in Newtown this simply has to be your local. There's a cover charge most weekend nights because gigs are also hosted here. Check it out with friends, or make some friends once you get there - it's that kinda place.

L.

Good beer, good price, brilliant entertainment.. Often a door charge a bit later but nothing crazy, recommend not being cheep and supporting the artist, good pub food too but mostly just pizzas if that's your thing.

K.

Nice venue, saw a stellar band (Dillastrate) here. The mix (by Jamie Thomson) was absolutely phenomenal. Didn't have much to eat or drink but there was a great atmosphere.

S.

Amazing place! Really nice food and really good customer service, they serve really good and delicious pizza. and Beer is really awesome.

S.

nice beer and friendly staff

N.

Cool place. Extensive menus

A.

Quirky bar, with a good range of beers on tap. A different range of beers to those in the city, including some kask varieties. Taps rotate often, but there is generally a good stout available, and an interesting range of others. Part of the capital craft beer trail.

H.

Hazy was amazing and so we're the bartenders hot pants.. Never seen a man like that before.. Raaow

c.

Pretty cool bar. Loving 10 dollar wednesday menu ( pizza) amazing live music

J.

Tasty brews on today. A few treats from Italy. Yum

S.

Great ambience, warm & welcoming. (and the woman on the door had a great smile)

K.

I like the 10 bucks pizza deal and the live band on Wednesday. Good pizza & reasonable price, it would be better if they offer more options.

C.

Great open mic/jam sessions every Tuesday. My favorite music venue.

A.

Very good bar. Great music, great sound system, and decent beers in tap. Cool but not pretentious.

C.

Great vibe, great service. Easily my favourite bar in Newtown. Live gigs are a great plus!

T.

Great Pizza, with good beer, but dont go waiting for Take-away... you might be forgotten as the pizza seats cold in the shelf.

S.

Great bear range on tap and in the fridge. Good staff. Havent eaten here yet, but will be back soon to do so.

J.

Fantastic place. Excellent live music, great staff. I had a brilliant night there, thank you.

A.

Good choice of beers and friendly staff. Didn't get to try the pizza but what I saw around looked good. Will come back for pizza.

J.

Need cheaper beer. A happy hour for a couple of hours would be amazing here. Only reason I don't go is cause of prices. Everything else is amazing

P.

Excellent food and atmosphere, always have interesting and new music playing. One downside is it can get a little seedy later at night.

N.

Cute little bar. Good list of craft beers. Definite dive bar feel. Could spend many hours drinking here.

A.

For the amount of pizzas they make, you'd hope their pizzas would be a bit better. But they were fine. A busy little spot and pleasant enough.

M.

Cramped venue with terrible sound and bugger all room to boogie. Oh well. Pizza and Quiz night is fun. Just horrible to be in when packed.

P.

My home away from home. Come along if you like good beer and good people. They even make vegetarian pizza taste amazing!

G.

Amazing selection of tap beers (always new and different), friendly people, funky vibe, out-of-this-world pizzas ❤️

A.

Great music, fine décor and drinks, hot bartender.
