Just over 15% of Louisvillians work remotely, according to data from the 2020 census — that’s something we know a thing or two about at LOUtoday.

Sometimes, though, you need that water cooler chat + camaraderie that comes in an office setting. We’ve worked out a list of coworking spaces in Louisville:

The Bakery

Located at 901 S. 15th St. in the West End’s California neighborhood, this 6,000-sqft space is part of a mixed-use development that will eventually include a public market + rooftop event venue. Options start at $25 per month.

The Colab

A female-focused work space, The Colab (739 E. Oak St.) offers a supervised child play area that members can use for up to three hours per day.

Prospace

Whether you need a professional address to handle your work-related packages or a private office to call your own, Prospace (710 Barret Ave.) has options, starting at $95 per month. Your co-workers here can’t help falling in love with the space.

The Presley Post

Need a spot to host clients in downtown? This Museum Row location (734 W. Main St., Ste. 106) has six membership options, starting at $75 per month.

Regus

With five locations across Derby City, Regus likely has the kind of space you’re looking for — and if you just need to get out of the house, day rates start at $89.

Story Louisville

Located in the NuLu neighborhood at 828 E. Market St., Story offers co-working spaces and private offices starting at $299 per month. Pro tip: Make use of the sound-proof phone booths, in case you have that meeting scheduled today.

Urban Bird and Company

Perched in the Mellwood Art Center at 1816 Mellwood Ave., No. 117, this dog-friendly space offers 24/7 access + doubles as a gallery — that ought to make your breaks a little more interesting.

31e

Named after Bardstown Road’s US Highway designation, this space is located in the former Edenside Christian Church property at 1415 Bardstown Rd. Talk about work views.
