Some Of Montreal's Most Beautiful Bars & Terrasses Are Turning Into Part-Time Workspaces

Complete with unlimited coffee and Wi-Fi.
Reporter

Some of the city's most beautiful bars and terrasses could become your next office thanks to a new app. It allows you to reserve spots at public spaces for coworking in Montreal — complete with unlimited Wi-Fi and coffee.    

Workden, a collective of local spaces where professionals can work, meet and collaborate, currently has four unique spaces available where you can work remotely in Montreal, with more to come.

Right now, you could book a work desk at Burgundy Lion in Little Burgundy, 212 Montreal in Old Montreal, Knox Taverne in Pointe-Saint-Charles, and Riverside, which is in Saint-Henri, along the canal.

You can even bring your dog to work with you at Riverside and 212.

It costs $9.99 to reserve a Workden space for eight hours, which includes a work desk, unlimited gourmet coffee, tea, and water, professional-grade Wi-Fi and access to community events — as well as a Community Manager who will greet you at the door when you arrive for your session.

Five-day passes, monthly passes and group passes are also available.

More Workden locations are expected soon in the Plateau Mont-Royal, the West Island, Brossard, the Mile End and downtown. The collective is also accepting suggestions for workspace locations via email.

You can book a Workden desk online.
