rhubarb studios

Not your normal co-​working space.
I was visiting LA for two months and needed a place to rest my laptop and hopefully meet a few interesting people. I’d heard you have to be in Santa Monica to be a part of the LA tech «scene». First I tried Coloft in Santa Monica for a day. It was fine, but a very long commute for me and didn’t meet my threshold for value per hour commute. So I looked downtown and stumbled into Rhubarb Studios.
Its a unique concept set in an appealing building: part incubator, part technical bootcamp, part co-​working space. The studio occupies an entire floor in the US Bank Building (the tallest building West of the Mississippi). Half the space is completely unstructured: movable tables, white-​boardable walls, and unobstructed 180 degree view of downtown LA.
All this would be pretty cool in itself, but this unique combination of ingredients makes the space unlike any other for coworking. The bootcamp brings a sizable and fluid group of eager, smart and interesting people who want to work on projects. The incubator brings driven entrepreneurs who want a team to help them bring their idea to fruition. The studio takes great care to not only foster these businesses in a technical and traditional sense, but also a cultural sense. There’s a real sense of community and helping each «team» out. This willingness to help spills over to the «coworkers», which is part of what makes this such a great place to work. It was like I had an instant, built-​in community behind me to help when I needed it.
Ultimately the combination of smart people working on interesting problems and a culture of collaboration make this an amazing place for a freelancer or small team looking for a place to work. I’m sad to leave the community at Rhubarb and will be actively looking for a similar concept back in NYC.

I’ve been curious about collaborative work spaces for a few years now. This space is so much more. rhubarb studios is not your average working space; combining the access to resources and support like venture studios or incubators with creative business working spaces. This place is great for so many reasons:
1. This space inspires work. The natural light with skyscraper views, color scheme, and hard working folks co working all around you makes you want to work smarter.
2. The rhubarb studios staff want you to succeed. Ryan is extremely helpful and I was blown away with how thoughtful, friendly and open everyone was. People listen and take the time for you here.
3. Co-​working is a real. I was able to witness people exchanging ideas in meaningful and more importantly actionable ways.
They truly practice what they preach, and ‘get shit done.’

Absolutely amazing venue to work with for events. Aside from the stunning setting and views, the space was completely flexible and adjustable to suit our events needs, we had hands on support throughout the weekend event from Audrey and Rebecca who were both amazing and easy to work with. 10s across the board.

There are spaces that are nicely designed and then there are spaces that are not only creative but foster collaboration due to its design. The main studio space is dynamic and writeable all over (wield that marker and write on walls or tables). Situated on 14^th floor with a 180 degree view of downtown LA, this place gets great ideas flowing and amazing stuff building.

Such a fun place to hang out and work in! Lots of fun events, tons of knowledge shared amongst members and non-​members and WHAT A VIEW!

From the first day I walked in for Bootcamp it was nothing short of awesome.
Other coworking spaces were sorta cool but Rhubarb takes your breath away.
The prices were so reasonable that I signed on for privite office space.
Great people, fun environment that you can be Ultra productive/​creative in.
If you don’t hurry they will be full!
