If you work remotely, you can start to feel cooped up at home. Trust us, we get it. We highly recommend getting some fresh air + sunlight, especially when there’s nice weather.
To get you out of the home office, here are some spots around Indy where you can work outside — Wi-Fi connection included.
Parlor Public House , 600 E. Ohio St.
This has become a popular spot to work from, especially with its private booths inside to take Zoom calls. It also has a small outdoor seating area, but fair warning — tables are limited.
Pro tip: This spot also has a strict “no laptops after 7 p.m.” rule when it transforms into a cocktail lounge. But we’d hope you’ve signed off by then anyways.

Provider , 1101 E. 16th St.
This patio space is plentiful with tables and chairs. If it’s a hot day, there’s also an awning that creates some shade to make it more comfortable.
Central Library , 40 E. St. Clair St.
The East Garden is a little hidden gem on the grounds of the library with tables + benches to work from.
Pro tip: The Wi-Fi might not be at its strongest so if you have meetings or calls, it might be best to go inside.
Bovaconti has a good amount of shade, which is a must on these hot summer days.

Bovaconti , 1042 Virginia Ave.
If you’ve driven through Fountain Square, you can’t miss this outdoor patio space by the blue mural. It’s decently sized + gets a good amount of shade tucked in the corner with the awning.
Amelia’s , 1637 Nowland Ave.
This bakery shop’s Windsor Park location has a nice little patio to work from while you munch on a pastry + sip some coffee.
Pro tip: There’s a small meeting room if you venture upstairs and the back has a cozy sitting area if you can snag it.
Sunny day? Don’t worry, there’s umbrellas to provide some shade on Foundry’s patio.

Foundry Provisions , 236 E. 16th St.
This near north side cafe offers coffee, sandwiches, ice cream, outdoor seating, and Wi-Fi. What more could you need? It’s also open until 5 p.m. — when the work day ends.
The Garage at Bottleworks , 906 Carrollton Ave.
There’s plenty of seating along the side of the building, plus even more outdoor patio space on the north side. When you need a snack break, you’re steps away from plenty of options + if you need a caffeine boost, Blue Collar Coffee is within reach.
Blue Mind added a few tables and chairs outside, but keep in mind there’s no shade on the sidewalk.

Blue Mind Coffee , 646 E. 38th St.
This coffee shop at the historic Rose Building recently added a few tables and chairs outside the shop — just in time for nice weather. There’s also a new bike rack if you arrive on two wheels. Keep in mind there’s only a few tables and no shade.
draft creative space , 1525 Prospect St.
This new coworking space not only has an aesthetic atmosphere inside with it’s main room + peaceful sunroom — it also has a large garden patio space. Don’t have a membership? Don’t worry. It offers day passes for $25.
