About the Space

Beautiful, productive, and flexible drop-in workspace. By day, WorkBistro is a bright, airy, and focused workspace that you can use by the hour, by the day, or as often as you need. We have comfortable and functional workstations that are big enough to set yourself up for success, and private spaces so you can tackle your entire day. With our modular layout, incredible natural light, exposed brick, plant life, and protection from street volume, we are the ideal place for your next shoot! Great for an office-environment shoot, commercial production, or whatever project you're working on, WorkBistro can be your videography oasis. Our beautiful, large oak wood tables can roll into whatever configuration is needed. We have lounge furniture for breakout conversations and phone booths for private ones. This space can truly transform into whatever you need it to be!

My kid’s bar mitzvah party was supposed to be in a park but the weather had other plans. We booked sway at the last minute and am so glad we did. Not only were we warm and dry but also the space was perfect. We dressed it up with all kinds of balloons and sparkly things and it was magical. The kids had a great time sitting on the stage singing into the mic and we were able to make multiple spaces for eating, dancing, chatting, and playing games. Adam and Robby were so patient and helpful with all our many questions and requests for how to arrange the space. A great experience all around.

It was a pleasure coordinating with Adam. He was super responsive and accommodating! Everyone who attended my event complicated the space. It was the perfect spot for a baby shower with about 50 people in attendance. I loved that natural light that was beaming in, it made the perfect lighting for photos. Highly recommend!

Adam worked with us every step of the way, walking us through our options for the space (we added mics and speakers for our host and played the guest of honor’s playlist- yay!) and supporting us with our unique needs. We had a beautiful baby shower there- the space was roomy, clean and had lots of natural light.

Great space to host any event. Very accommodating and very easy to work with. It is one of my top venues I suggest to my clients as an event planner.

We hosted a Family Holiday party. The space was fantastic. There was plenty of room to seat 50 people for dinner plus room for dancing and a Mariachi Band. We were able to use the stage for small presentations and fun. Adam was very responsive and helpful in making sure the space was setup for our event.
