Cannonball Club is putting coffee, cars and a clubhouse under one roof

The 30,000-square-foot Fishtown project combines a public-facing café with collector-car storage and members-only social spaces.

Cannonball Club is taking shape in Fishtown as a hybrid that is difficult to fit into one familiar category: café, collector-car storage facility, coworking space and private social club.

The project’s public-facing piece is The Feed, a café set among vehicles inside the roughly 30,000-square-foot site. The larger membership offering includes a private bar and lounge, events and workspace, according to the club’s website and local reporting.

Founder Chris Allen has described the goal as creating a more welcoming version of car culture—one built around enthusiasm and community instead of a narrow definition of what belongs.

That concept makes the café the most important entry point for curious neighbors. It lets someone experience the design and the car collection without first treating the space like a traditional showroom or committing to membership.

The club is still rolling out its full operation, so hours, access rules and membership availability should be checked directly before visiting. What is already clear is the pitch: turn a collection that usually stays behind closed doors into part of a broader Fishtown social space.
