I've been working here for two years now and love it. Erin is a big reason why, she rocks,…read moreseriously... come work and meet her. In addition to great staff, the place is beautiful. If you're passing through town or just working for a few months in Nola and need a place to work, that has a Nola vibe, this is the best. Very affordable, very safe 7-7, then be careful, but that's Nola unfortunately. Full kitchen, fast internets, phone booths for private calls, I like the bathrooms (hey it's important when you work somewhere 40 hours a week). No complaints. Started as the cheapest level and worked my way up to a small office. Great coworkers, mostly writers, geeks, and a few professional services and non profits, all feel a million miles away from my corporate cube.

The right time of year definitely made a difference! Afterwards the indoor part was amazing. So much space and the vibe is just fun. I didn't get to try any of the food but everything looked great. If you aren't feeling like having a wedding in a typical event venue palace hall indoors only, this is definitely worth a visit for something different and classy.

The food was good as well (I chose the chicken dish) and the service was also very efficient. My only mini complaint is that to get to the venue, you have to walk a bit ... Normally not an issue, but with the majority of us wearing heels or at least wedges, my feet are complaining a bit today. Otherwise, I'd love to get married here myself some day (if I lived in the South!) and I highly recommend it.

From the initial contact until the day of the event, and I thanked Dionca (owner) for allowing us to book, every interaction was professional, courteous, and they went of out their way to ensure we were taken care of coming from out of town. This relieved SO MUCH stress! They were just as passionate about the success of my event as I was! They cared, and that impressed me. They offered every service needed to ensure we were satisfied and didn't want us to have to do anything but enjoy each other. That's excellent service and was definitely noticed and appreciated. The cleanliness was unmatched and the setup was perfect and tailored to our liking. You don't have to look further than The Venue for an event space in New Orleans. If I were to travel to NOLA 100 times this year and needed an event space, I would book The Venue 100 times! Thank you to Dionca and her family for having us and I hope to book again soon!

We went out for an event called "Forestival" at this place over the weekend. It was a fundraiser to…read morehelp finance the location. Product: Available were "food truck" crepes, ice cream and sorbets, as well as drinks and snacks provided by the organizers. One had to purchase tickets to utilize the vendors, but it wasn't a big deal. I had a couple of drinks and some homemade cookies. There were raffle tickets on sale for certain prizes, and some silent auctions as well. A-ok! (3 stars) Service: Although we went later in the afternoon, making it there around 230pm or so, there were nature walks with a botanist and entomologist earlier in the day, according to the program. There was a shuttle available from Tulane at no charge for those parking a ways down the road. There was clay sculpting available for people to play around with. It was a big hit with the kids in attendance. Musical groups played throughout the day, but we had really gone to see the closing show at 3-5pm (I forget the name). They were an 80s-style new wave band in the most traditional sense, except they sang bilingually in French and English. Not my favorite type of music, but they did it well, and I love live music. The crowd really got into it. A poet recited between music sets. (4 stars) Facilities: This venue is a multi-building complex on the edge of the swamp in Lower Coast Algiers, past the English Turn subdivision. I've actually never been this far off the beaten path and still been in Orleans Parish. It's like a whole other world out here. It is very quiet and peaceful. From what I can tell, most of the year this is a retreat for resident artists to ply their trades. The event program states that both Tulane and Xavier New Orleans back the location, and, from the front signage, Tulane manages it. The venue is placed back into the woods opposite the levee out here. One might almost miss it if riding down this way, but there's a gate preventing driving just past it on the road. I'm told that's one of Tulane's primate research centers past that point. Parking is along the "end of the road" here, at least for this event. As noted, signage is quite minimal (pic should be included with this review), but there is a beautiful steel fence sculpted with the place's name as well, though it is a weathered, rust-aged fence, so it doesn't really stand out without close inspection. Down a winding path, there are more torch cut sculptures of the same style as the gate. This path leads to the small collection of buildings used by the artists in residence, but a couple were opened for this event for bathroom and activity access. The buildings were of a purposeful roughshod look, one like an Acadian cottage, and the others more reminiscent of village workshops of the 18th Century. Decor was minimal, mostly of hung art from the crafters here. One building had a minuscule gallery with displays. The main building here was a 2-story with a cathedral ceiling. Downstairs had lots of workspace, and the upstairs where one of the bathrooms was had office space. There was a short nature walk behind the buildings, as well as a pond (which on our visit was covered in duckweed). A small lawn, obviously built for events such as this, was near the walks and pond. This is where a small pavilion was set up for the bands. (4 stars) Overall: I really liked the place. The goal is doubtless one of isolation and peace, and even with the crowd that day, this was quite obvious. For a $5 (optional) entrance fee, I would definitely go back to the Forestival event again. Don't forget to bring a chair or blanket to sit and listen to the bands! (4 stars)

good space. i was…read moreonly here for a day, but it was a nice location if you have a group and need to feel that you've left the city to focus on something (like a retreat!). the space is really comfortable, 2 restrooms on floors. you have access to the use of the kitchen so you can prepare your meals on site - we primarily used the living room seating space and the long dining table. they have projector capability for you. there's a cute outside area, but you know, mosquitoes and bugs are enjoying that too. the only challenge is parking. they encourage you to park along the main road...which there isn't really a place to turnoff. but we managed to tetris in about 6 vehicles, so it's doable. all in all, if you're looking for a local meeting venue and have a little cash that you can put towards it, give this a look!

WAY OVER PRICED! No wonder there are so many empty spaces available! For the price of any of their…read moreavailable units you could get a commercial retail space. Their largest available space is basically a glorified storage space. 1000 sf unit for 1600/mo? Are you nuts?! It's just a box with a large door and power. Ladi-frickin-da! It has no AC (not even a window unit), no sink, not even a crappy private shop bath. For that price you'd think there'd be a flowing champagne fountain or something. This business needs a reality check! If you're marketing to "Artists" you need to get on an Artist's level. Artists are looking for a place to work, not a second mortgage. Good freakin' luck. If you're looking for an artist studio, don't even bother with this place.

SCALE New Orleans is my favorite place to get work done and socialize with great people. Yes! You…read morecan do both! I recently returned to the great city of New Orleans and quickly realized that my very humble abode was not going to be very conducive to getting work done. So the search for a co-working space began. After almost 4 years of working remotely, I wasn't sure I would like returning to an office environment, but SCALE has been great. Perks of working from SCALE: * Members get 24/7 access and it's very secure! * Some of the desks have monitors! No more hunching at your laptop. * Telephone booths and conference rooms when you need a bit more privacy. * Well climatized - perfect for the summer heat or sweater weather. * The space is filled with plants; windows; local art; free espresso and coffee; and just the right amount of white noise. There's even a rooftop terrace just outside the kitchen. * The other members are friendly! They will talk to you if you want and respect you if you have jump on a call or get work done. * They will take deliveries for you. No more worrying about porch pirates. * Lyle, the owner, is often on-site and really cares about us. (awwwww) * There's even a shower! (But if you need a hairdryer, be sure to bring your own). Other things I've noticed - people are very friendly and welcoming. This is a place where you can come as you are. The diversity in the people make SCALE reflect some of their FLOR rug designs - they don't necessarily all coordinate, but somehow it works and looks good (see pic). Your network can really expand here as there are so many people with different work and life backgrounds. I did visit other coworking spaces, but the atmosphere was not as welcoming and felt a bit sterile. Couple that with too much hard concrete surfaces and I knew there would be an issue with noise. Come visit SCALE for a tour & check it out yourself! If you see me, introduce yourself and let me know you read my review! See you soon!

My oh my!!!! Where…read moreshall I begin. This place & Lyle are a godsend. As if being a NEW entrepreneur + FIRST time inventor, wasn't enough. Throw in manufacturing why dontcha? Well ok so there's the quandary... how + where do I make these things? Well here is Lyle + Scale Workspace to render me aid. This place is a hidden gem in "THE NOLA BABY", I mean just think of it... if you can put on your thinking cap, then you can come here, construct a mold & create it. That's how it happened for me. Picture it: -God gave me an idea -Lyle + his team brought it to manifestation. Just that simple. Once you know the direction (to creating a thing), you can head here. Lyle + his team are simply the best, better than all the rest... y'all know the Tina Tuner song, don't try to fool me now. At any rate, taking a tour is ESSENTIAL!!! As it adds sheer excitement to the endless possibilities of the things you can create here. There's an area to co-work and use computers. There's an area to make & receive private phone calls. There's an area to get your eat on, fashioned with all of the niftiest gadgets & appliances. There's a place to shower, should the need arise; say if you ride a bike in or if you even if you need a quick pick me up. There's an area to make, create & bring your vision to life. There's a rooftop area that is quaint & perfect to take a little siesta. There's an area to get your Shutterfly on; taking photos is essential to share any work of art. And the great thing about all these areas and many more, is that they come with MEMBERSHIP. Man oh man, talk about "membership having its privileges..." I love it. Oh and did I tell you have access whenever you want, I mean I don't know if overnight is an option, but if it is, you have the ability to gain access with the touch of your finger. Yep!!! No keys needed... your very own biometrics will give you access to the tools & skills lab you need to create. I've been advised of the parking beneath the bridge or you can park alongside the street and use the parking meters, FYI. I plan to utilize the amenities here to create and create and create some more. BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MORE NEW PRODUCTS FROM ME, YOUR FRIENDLY YELP-ELITE INVENTOR!!!
