I had been searching for the right venue to host a client appreciation event in the Pittsburgh area for a while that didn't come with a crazy minimum spend, allowed you to set up the space however you wanted, and also looked and felt intimate...Joyful Commons nailed it! I hosted 23 clients and friends for a casual weeknight dinner (my husband catered!), collage activity and a prosecco nightcap...and it was literally perfect. We had plenty of time to setup, got to plug our music into their speaker system, and the gorgeous kitchen gave us plenty of space to prep and serve guests. Bathrooms were huge, and we also had plenty of room for our interactive photo booth. One of my favorite parts of the night was seeing my guests' reactions when they first arrived: They all loved it, and felt instantly comfortable and excited to be there. I truly believe that the space you choose to host gatherings, parties, and events in sets the tone for the mood and energy of the occasion. If you're looking for somewhere that's flexible, welcoming, and doesn't sacrifice vibes, Joyful Commons is it!

We recently hosted a networking event at Joyful Commons and the experience was absolutely perfect. The space is beautiful, historic, and had everything we needed. Jade was incredibly detail-oriented and anticipated our every need. Setup was seamless and stress-free. Our guests loved the atmosphere, and it truly made an impression. Highly recommend Joyful Commons for any meeting, workshop, or event!

Joyful Commons has been such a huge help and amazing find! I was thinking I’d have to quit my full time job until I found Joyful Commons. They provide supervised play for my son while I can get work done. I am able to schedule meetings and calls without having my baby trying to climb on me the whole time. Joyful commons has been a perfect solution when other childcare options weren’t available. I also love that I won’t miss any of his milestones since I am still spending the day with him. All of the employees at Joyful commons are so sweet and have great to work with and I completely trust them. I live about 35 minutes away and the drive is totally worth it to be able to have uninterrupted hours of work. I align my drive time with my son’s naps and it has worked out so well. They also are very conscious of cleanliness. My son is in the stage where everything goes into his mouth. The workers will set aside every single toy that he’s put in his mouth to clean at the end of the day. I appreciate that attention and dedication to making sure all the kids stay healthy!

I've been going to Joyful Commons since they've opened. I can't put into words how big of a relief it is to have finally found something where I can work without distractions and my son can play. As an entrepreneur, I struggled to get anything done throughout the day while caring for my 3 year old son. I would typically wait till my wife returned from work, in the evening, to get started on anything work related. By this time, I was absolutely exhausted and struggled to put 100% focus on my business. I felt like I was starting to go through the motions. Thankfully, I came across Joyful Commons. Joyful Commons has been perfect for myself and my son. I get the opportunity to knock out a bunch of work while my son plays. The staff has been beyond welcoming to us! The best part is my son looks forward to going to Joyful Commons every week.

As a “work-from-home mom” this is a lifesaver. We’ve only been a couple of times so far, but every one of the staff has been incredibly kind and kept my almost 2 year old entertained while I worked. Cannot recommend enough for anyone else trying to balance parenting and working at the same time!

Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership.

Storage in coworking spaces can be limited, with most of it reserved for members with dedicated desks and private offices. However, you can reach out to the coworking operator using the form on the right side of the page to see what options are currently available.
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Joyful Commons, who is more than happy to help out.
Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
