Hello! We’re a crew of friends combining our passions and professions within a shared workspace in North Center, Chicago.

Whether commiserating across industries or sharing a drink, we’re here to do the work and have some fun, side by side. Plus it’s nice to be out of the damn house.

Give us a knock. We have snacks.

The Space

Our space is ~1k sq ft, with 6 large desks, 2 semi-enclosed phone booths, a kitchenette, and a lounge area. Created to be an easygoing place to work and hang out, the space supports a variety of member hobbies (photo equipment, work bench), club-house essentials (pool table, Nintendo Switch), and workday basics (coffee maker, refrigerator, etc).

Membership Tiers

We currently offer two tiers of access to Side By Side.

Dedicated Desk, $300/month Best for individuals looking to use the space on a more full-time basis. Members are welcome to bring in any equipment and accessories to outfit their desk setup. A dedicated desk can be shared (e.g. a couple is welcome to swap days).

Shared Desk, $150/month Best for individuals looking to drop by the space 2-3 times per week. A desk with one external monitor is provided (not shown in photos) and filing cabinets/shelves are available for storage of belongings. These desks are shared among members and may necessitate scheduling.

Have questions? Want to check it out? Reach out to Melanie and Eric at [email protected].

Note: Desk availability fluctuates and we cannot guarantee a spot to all inquiries. Due to the tight knit nature of the space, we schedule meetings with interested individuals before locking in new members.
