Frequently Asked Questions

  • Please reach out to The Backstory Above for more detailed information on membership options and pricing.

  • Whether you're a day pass holder or a monthly member, you can access most amenities. Meeting rooms do require prior scheduling, and private offices are reserved for those with subscriptions. However, the lounge, kitchen, and breakout spaces are open to all. Complimentary services are also available regardless of membership tier, while ancillary services can be purchased separately or negotiated with The Backstory Above.

  • The Backstory Above - 1231 9th Avenue operates during regular business hours, which are listed above. For any requests or requirements outside of these hours, please contact the coworking operator directly. 

  • Flexibility is the cornerstone of coworking, so you always have the option to adjust your workspace to match your current needs. With month-to-month memberships, you can effortlessly upgrade, downgrade, or even switch between different coworking plans.

    While the standard practice is to change memberships only once the current one ends, The Backstory Above may be able to offer additional options, so it’s best to reach out to their staff directly.

  • Open desks may be the ideal choice if you thrive in a collaborative environment and value the opportunity to connect with fellow coworkers. Dedicated desks, on the other hand, provide a designated space with shared community amenities, catering to those who seek a balance between privacy and interaction.

    For ultimate focus and private interactions, private offices are best for solo individuals and teams that seek uninterrupted productivity.

    Selecting the most suitable workspace for you typically hinges on your work style and preferences, but it can also be determined by the type of work that you do, its duration, and whether you work alone or in a team.
