Your bike. Your workshop. Your way.
Expert or novice, everyone should have a place to work & create on their own terms, in their own time… only we don’t. The city got bigger, space got smaller & we didn’t inherit backyard workshops like the ones our fathers retreated to when we were young. Rising Sun Workshop is a reaction to this loss.
The cafe & workshop are two components of one machine. We share this building because our goals are common - to feed & nourish our guest’s hunger. Every coffee drunk, cookie dunked & noodle slurped, helps towards keeping the workshop activity high & rates to members low.
We are a social enterprise that wouldn’t exist if not for resources pooled & donated by the very community that demands it - our members and guests. We thank you.
THE WORKSHOP
Rising Sun Workshop is Sydney’s first communal workspace for motorcycle enthusiasts. It’s here to provide members with all the space, tools & knowledge they need to build their dream and truly take ownership of their passion.
Whether it’s a quick oil change or going full restore on a rusty barn find, Rising Sun Workshop is your home away from home. There’s even space to store those long-term projects.
To find more information on memberships, upcoming workshops or events, ask one of the crew to organise a chat with our workshop manager.
THE CAFÉ
Like the workshop, Rising Sun’s cafe is a community driven hub for locals & visitors alike. Yes our cafe & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share - that if we can make it ourselves, we will. That traditions guide but do not rule.
Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies - our mates.
We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.
You are an honored guest, welcome to our home.
