Workshop

Partystar Review

Intriguing remnants of this venue's past as a motorcycle workshop can be seen throughout. It's raw and industrial but versatile enough for you to find a nook to nestle in with your squad. It's a great warehouse vibe.

Second Opinion

Old motorcycle workshop that's been converted to a bar with dance floor. Hip hop-py sound meets grunge for a relaxed venue & crowd.

Readers' Reviews

A converted motorcycle repair shop but don't expect to meet any bikies in Melbourne's best kept rooftop secret. Mechanistic, mettalic hubris meets inspiring cityscape. By day the bar is a relaxed meeting place for coffee and chilled beats, by night live music, the cities best DJs or performance art and visuals may await you. It has a smorgasbord of eclectic music performances and installations. The venue doubles as a gallery and has won awards for its innovative design.

The thing that really sets workshop apart is its staff. Friendly, funny, go the extra mile cats. Take a moment to chat to them and you'll find that your pint is being served to you by an artist a DJ, a writer or a photographer.

Midweek is the best time to catch the real vibe of the place as on weekends it becomes party central with richeous beats controlling the throng of engaged punters.
