RSW

Your Bike. Your Workshop. Your Way

Home

RIsing Sun Workshop is Sydney's first communal motorcycle workshop space and Cafe, serving Newtown the best coffee from Single Origin Roasters, the sweetest baked goods around made in house, and one of the most delicious Ramen's in Sydney. The workshop is a community funded space that provides the space and tools for members to either do what they know, or learn from other members.

YOUR BIKE. YOUR WORKSHOP. YOUR WAY.

Rising Sun Workshop cafe is a community driven hub for locals & visitors alike. Like in the workshop, if we can make it ourselves, we will.

This guy! Nico was working for us in the kitchen when we first opened Whateley Street, our permanent home. Since then he's opened his own deli @myomeio, got married and is now the father of twins. He still finds time to come in to catch up and work on his BMW R80.

Motorcycle electrical systems can be daunting and trying to figure it out on your own can have you banging your head on the wall. It's lucky @lizasarks has Brad on hand to keep the wall damage to a minimum. 📷 @corboy.photography

After the sun goes down our space transforms from the bright, sunlit space full of the sound of slurping ramen and coffee into a cozy, candle-lit space where you can enjoy a completely different menu of delicious local produce cooked over charcoal including some incredibly fresh seafood.
Afternoon delights start from 4pm, Dinner from 6pm. Wednesday to Saturday Nights. See you there.
P.S. New heaters get installed sometime this week!

One of the tastiest Grenache around town this winter. You know what makes it taste even better? Knowing exactly where it came from! Our wine man Dan visited @bkwines recently and was blown away by this young family producing everything themselves from their own backyard. Bloody Legends.

We've managed to pull together a great team in the workshop over the last year. The workshop is forever growing with new tools, much of them donated by our amazing members and friends and an endless source of knowledge thanks to members new and old who are aways popping in to lend a hand or give some sound advice.
