In the Bay Area, I really recommend checking out the Groundfloor coworking spaces if you want a more social coworking space. I totally realize many people just want to put their heads down and crank. GF is not for you then. But I really like being able to banter and hang out in between work stretches.

I tried wework for a month and it was absolutely silent. I asked someone if they'd ever seen someone use the ping pong table and nope. The weirdest thing about the wework was their library of books. It was simply the same 10 books repeated 15 times. Had an odd Truman Show type vibe. I can't believe how unfriendly the whole energy was at wework. And just had this stale corporate-ness to it that was unshakeable. I mean, they had these really cool custom neon signs. But I would have just taken that and invested it into other things.

Wework in NYC, maybe 5-6 years ago was so insanely warm. Everything you are looking for. Then the price crunch happened and things got shaky and then boom. none of that.
