Disclaimer: My company has our office space at Second Shift…read more That being said, I wanted to give a shout out for what Second Shift is and what sets it apart. It's a fantastic coworking space for those that are looking for a spot to do work that is well appointed, welcoming and community-focused. Their leadership sets them apart and rather than focusing on squeezing dollars from their membership - they want to build a helpful, strong and welcoming community for everyone. We have private desks which at the current rate is a steal for anything in Logan or other neighborhoods, but public space abounds for those not looking for a private space. There are conference rooms, phone booths and common areas that are all able to be reserved by their online system. I've been to a number of coworking spaces that are either incredibly pretentious or try so hard to be cool and edgy that they lose their purpose. People can actually get shit done here and meet others that are entrepreneurs who can benefit their company. We've added 3 contractors to our company roster simply by being here and they have added to the quality of work our company provides. If you're looking for a space to call your own, get work done and hang out in a wonderful community - Second Shift is the place for you.

However, a few things happened in my room that made my one night stay disappointing was: 1. My tv did not work. I tried to play Netflix and it played it for like 5 mins and then my tv went black. It kept doing that. 2. The first time I used the restroom the whole toilet paper holder fell out the wall. And there was no way to put it back without the constant falling. Other than these two things my stay was a great experience'

Aw dang. You never been to the Study? Babies, you gotta get out your house and get your work on…read moredown there. Seriously, if you're in the market for a coworking spot you gotta do yourself a solid and give the Study a slide. This place is the tops. You know how hard we work? Pubert can work. But sometimes working at home can just get us all crazy in the head. That open bottle of wine from last night is calling. The cats are screaming -- it's like, kitty, I just fed you and you still hungry? Babies, we just gotta change out of our softpants, put on some bigboy slacks, and get to work. For those of us that work for ourselves, having a place like the Study all local and stuff makes it so easy to please those clients. Our clients happy, Pubert happy. This dude that run the thing, Andy, the guy is legit. Andy'll take care of you. He keeps the Study real nice. Fast internet, lotsa desks and tables, quiet atmosphere. And listen, babies, this dude made us some pour-over coffee. Yeah, you heard that right. Dude busts out the Chemex and makes us coffee. We had to do a doubletake. We judge a coworking space by how much work we can pound out. And babies, you'll never believe how productively the Rose & Company rocked it while at the Study. Got them proposals out, them numbers crunched, the clients pleasured. With time to spare, we even busted out for a quick slurp over at the Goose Island tap room that is literally on the same block as the Study. Can't beat that, babies. Gimme them hops! Maybe you see us there next time you come in. Pubert all over the country these days, but Chicago is where we hang our hat. And when we home in Chicago and need to crank out some work, the Study is our spot. Convenient and quiet. That's our jam. Now get to work!

Not only does it solve the cabin fever of working from home, but it provides an office setting with like-minded people that are hustling hard to take their company, dream, book or thesis to the next level. Not only are Jeff and Diana incredibly responsive, but they've actually sent business my way (which for a new company is amazing). The benefit of having a permanent address to bring clients to and have checks sent to; the free color printing and 24/7 access have all been an early part of my company's success. I cannot recommend Platform highly enough - not only as a coworking space, but a tool for new business owners. Highly recommend!

You got everything you need right downstairs. Food, drinks, entertainment, shopping. Wrigleyville is all around you. You can check in, drop your bags and really not have to go anywhere else. We had a king room. It was kinda small, but nice. Comfortable, clean and had some good features. You can pay extra for a stadium view, which would be pretty damn cool if you are coming specifically for a Cubs game. Staff was friendly and helpful. I also liked that the place doesn't shut down at 10pm. We got into town late and could still get some food and drinks. If you get into da Go late, you are covered. This is just a really cool way to experience Wrigleyville. Nice hotel, everything you need around you and you damn near sleeping on Wrigley Field. I'd definitely stay here again.

Coming from Denver, I was excited to see a familiar brand name. I booked a DeskPass to visit…read moreVenture X Chicago for a day. Free parking is always music to my ears--there's an underground lot with stairs going to the main atrium that has an elevator up to the coworking space. I can imagine how relieving this would be in the midst of snowstorms. Peggy (community manager) greeted me at the front and gave me a brief tour of the space. Nice kitchen space with a Bevi machine (my favorite) and plenty of coffee. First I picked a small table because I was in a 4-hour training and didn't want to disrupt anyone. No electrical outlet nearby. When I came back from an errand, I sat on the couch (outlet here) where the table was too short to be comfortable for my back. It was random that I stayed in Oak Brook because I was in town for an event 20 minutes east. This neighborhood is full of large corporate buildings which felt like a surburban Downtown area. My hotel was less than 10 minutes from Venture X, so I'm grateful this was even an option to get me out of coworking at the hotel or generic coffeeshop!

I left the Venture X Oakbrook office yesterday after a very frustrating experience…read more I work for a non-profit that provides me a desk pass membership for drop-in visits. I typically work from home, but after trying a couple of other drop in locations I found Venture X Oakbrook to be far and away the best option. I've been using it pretty exclusively whenever I'm in the area, and recommending it to my coworkers. The first time I booked the space was December 2022, when I was given a tour of the space and pointed to a series of about 12 desks in an open area to use. Since then, every time I have come I've checked in, gone to the same desk, and had a solid experience. Yesterday I made the mistake of asking the woman at the front desk a question. She dismissed me, telling me she was in a meeting and returning to her computer screen, and when I said I was just looking for information on how to print, she said if I wasn't a member I couldn't print more than a few pages anyway. It wasn't an urgent project, so I gave up and decided I would print somewhere else later. No big deal. A few minutes later, the meeting presumably having ended, this woman tracked me down and greeted me by saying, "You can't be here. These desks are not for you." Completely caught off guard, I explained that not only had a Venture X employee specifically shown me to this spot and directed me to use these desks, but that I have been doing so for a year and a half without any issue. She demanded to know who, and when I said I didn't remember the name but that I thought it was a blonde woman, she told me that was her manager. She went on to tell me that I was wrong anyway, the desks were reserved for other users, and that even though she remembered my face from previous visits and said she believed me, I was limited to using the couch space out front. I would like to point out that the desk I sat down at had a sign on it saying "Available," and that there were zero other people in that work area. I was bothering no one, and costing Venture X nothing. Even if I was incorrect, and the person who showed me to this space gave me the wrong information, there was no reason to be confrontational about it. It felt like I wasn't good enough to use the space, and was both demeaning and infuriating. I have other options, so I just immediately started packing my things and left. I wasn't going to argue with this woman or work unproductively from a couch, as back issues would make that very uncomfortable at best. I asked her to refund the desk pass to my non-profit, since I didn't really use it, and she said okay, but I have no faith that she will follow through on that (and also no way to check, as I am not the account owner). It is extremely regrettable that what had been up till now an outstanding experience with the workspace ended in this way.

I would recommend to anyone needing space to actually work.

I was expecting a mini tour, things to know about the space, a quick list of rules, etc. Instead, I felt like I was bothering her. She didn't move, she just said, "the kitchen is that way" and pointed to her right. I spent the rest of the day slowly walking into hallways and rooms, wondering if I was intruding on a private workspace or if I was entering a phone room. This place is very, very quiet. Even whispering makes you feel awkward. I was with a co-worker and we were whispering quietly to each other after walking in. I was saying hello, the usual greetings. A woman nearby walked over to tell us that we needed to not talk because she was trying to concentrate. I was so irritated that my coworker and I up and left. We worked the rest of the day at a nearby coffee shop that was warm and friendly. I'm not sure if whispering is banned in the main work area but if so, I didn't see any signs and we weren't given rules. I wasn't sure if I should have defended myself or if I was actually in the wrong. Overall cold and frustrating vibe for me. Will stick to coffee shops in the future.

I walked around the building after I was done with work. Rooftop didn't seem super impressive, but I can imagine dressing it up for special events. Always love when there's an espresso machine in the kitchen, though the music is SUPER loud and the communal tables don't lock. Definitely vintage look with all the old-looking furniture.
