Sydney’s getting louder, faster… harder to find your people.
This is where it slows down.
Shared tables, ramen, drinks, and a room full of strangers that don’t stay strangers for long.
Pull up, grab a seat.
Book a table or walk in 🍜

Paying someone else a fortune every time your bike needs new rubber? Yeah nah 🛞🔧
The RSW Tyre Machine Masterclass is here, learn to do it yourself, properly, without losing your mind or your knuckles halfway through.
We cover the gear, the balancing, tube fitting and all the workshop tricks worth knowing. Plus there's a beer or wine on arrival because learning on an empty stomach is cooked. 🍺
You'll leave with a Certificate of Competency, full workshop access for future DIY changes starting at just $45 a day.
⭐ 11 June · 6:00PM–9:00PM

Get your hands dirty.

Alright ladies, this one’s yours 🔧💅
Women’s Wrench Nights are all about getting stuck in, learning a few tricks, and having a laugh while you’re at it. No pressure, no judgement, just good people and dirty hands.
Plus there’s a cheeky drink and snacks to keep things ticking along.
May’s already gone (of course it is), and June’s not far behind. 3rd and 17th are your shots 🫶
Bring your mates or roll in solo, either way you’ll leave knowing a bit more and feeling pretty chuffed. Don’t sit on it, book your spot before it’s gone.
