I love exploring coworking spaces in other cities. That's the glory of Deskpass. Managed to find a…read morefree residential parking spot for the day (woohoo!) and walked a few blocks to DeskLabs. So cool that they have the entire building, including the rooftop. Bridget greeted me at the front desk and showed me around. Fantastic customer service. Each floor had a different vibe. Because I had to take a few meetings, I hung out on a pretty empty floor with a desk all to myself. WiFi was strong and there was hardworking staff cleaning around me the entire time. 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. Overall solid work spot to check out if you're local or visiting Chicago. Spacious and perfect for all types of people and industries. Would love to be around the regulars next time!

I have been here since around August 2020 in the height of Coronavirus, so it's been a little quieter around here. But the energy is still high and perfect for working, studying or even relaxing back with a beverage from the coffee bar. Location is ideal as it's close to EVERYTHING from great restaurants to the lake. The lake is a quick 10-minute walk for an escape to meditate or maybe even a picnic lunch. In the last 6 months, I have seen a lot of change here at DeskLabs for the better. The owner has deliberately built a highly capable and customer oriented team lead by a new community manager, Kiely Cross. She is aces! Kiely and her team are dedicated to created a dynamic and inviting environment for their community. I am looking forward to getting back to normal and watching Desklabs become more social and energetic! Keep up the Fire, Team #Desklabs!

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.

Joining totally got me out of a work funk, I'm more productive when I come here, and now I actually appreciate it when I do work from home! If you're looking not just for a workspace, but for someplace you can meet people and make connections, this is the spot.

When I first entered Platform, I greeted the person at the front desk and let her know it was my…read morefirst time in the space. 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've been working from this office space for over a year with a dedicated resident desk. I chose…read morePlatform because of the location and the fair prices, and there are many convenient amenities nearby. The office has a great friendly vibe, largely because of the people who use the space, and they've done a nice job of supporting networking social hours. I recommend it - especially for someone who is looking to create a sense of community while working remotely.

Love this space…read more This building is filled with smart, motivated creatives both in the 2112 space and also the connected Fort Knox Studios. On any given day, there may be a TV show being filmed in the hangar, a popular musician recording in the studios or a thought-leader giving a presentation on the 2112 stage. The team managing the space is friendly, eager to be helpful and readily available to support you. 2112's network of professionals is incomparable and there are world-class mentors who donate their time to members. It's so nice to have an instant introduction to any kind of subject matter network. I imagine this is how it feels to be an alumni of an ivy league business school, where you can just ask for a personal introduction to a industry authority. The space is clean and they have great amenities such as a coffee shop with Dark Matter Coffee, multiple meeting spaces, podcast booth and coworking areas with couches and comfortable chairs. Can you tell I love this place?

Unprofessional Treatment During Admission Process I had an…read moreunfortunate experience with the founder of Draymond Washington during an admission call. The interaction was extremely unprofessional and left me feeling disrespected. Instead of receiving a warm, welcoming, and informative conversation about the club, I was met with rude behavior and dismissiveness. I understand that running a social club can be stressful, but it's important to treat potential members with kindness and respect. This call was a stark contrast to the positive image I had of the club before. I hope the leadership takes this feedback seriously and works on improving how they communicate with prospective members. For now, I can't recommend this club based on my experience, as the treatment I received does not align with the values I would expect from any organization. I will also write a public review about this. I have also blocked the founder and your company from social media as the experience was so bad I would never want to be related to it. Thanks, RD Chemist

A great co-working space in Evanston…read more coLab was probably the best co-working space in Evanston for the price. The price was great especially for the private office. The WiFi was fast. The space was well lit. The toilet was clean. One feedback is the noise isolation between private offices, but that's the problem with other co-working spaces in the area too. In short, I'd recommend coLab Evanston.

There were couches to lounge around on, a full dining room table, and plenty of standing room around the kitchen area! Having a kitchen space allowed the hosts to serve warm, mulled wine, ice cold sangria, and straight-out-of-the-oven appetizers! They also have an employee on site at all times to deal with any problems, which is a nice perk to ensure a flawless party. I'm not sure about pricing, but I would definitely inquire for my next large party!

The space is simply stunning, with lots of windows letting in plenty of natural light, beautiful high ceilings and freshly painted white walls. It was easy to transform it from a workspace into an elegant and serene venue by adding high boys, linens, flower arrangements, balloons, and a few other personal touches. We were able to fit approximately 70 guests very comfortably, and the acoustics were great for our DJ and live band. The owner, Liane, was very accommodating. She reserved our preferred date for us, she maintained communication with our event planner, and she allowed us access to the venue the evening before the event to setup, which was extremely helpful. We were very grateful that we were able to reserve the space for a Sunday afternoon, when street parking would be free. Our guests had no difficulty finding the location or parking, and many commented on how beautiful the venue was. Oh, and there are several bathrooms-- all of them clean and well equipped for your guests (when I was looking at other venues, I noticed that is not always the case, but it's so important-- so I wanted to be sure to mention it here). If you're looking for a space to host your next event, be sure to check this one out. You won't be disappointed :)
