Do you work remote and need a small private space to hold an in-person meeting? Or maybe you’re looking to host a private event or workshop with just a handful of people.

Intimate gatherings are meant to be meaningful, and you want a space to match that.

We’ve rounded up a list of local businesses that have small private rooms or spaces that could host your gathering or special event. (Reach out to the business to inquire about renting its space.)

    From the editor
    I’ve been inside Blue Mind’s expanded space a couple times now, and I just recently found out about the private meeting room. I’m a big fan of Blue Mind and I love the vibes there, so I think it would be the perfect place to co-work. Would you join me for a co-working day at Blue Mind? Let me know + maybe I’ll plan something.
