Had the worst coworking day of my life last Wednesday - avoid this place
I booked a day pass at a new coworking spot near downtown Austin called The Hive Hub, and it was a total disaster from start to finish. The wifi went down at 9:30am right when I had a client call, and they didn't get it fixed until 2pm. Then the fire alarm went off twice (someone burnt popcorn in the shared kitchen) and we all had to stand outside for 20 minutes each time. Has anyone else had a coworking space where the infrastructure just completely crumbles on a random weekday?

Actually it's a common misconception that coworking spaces run their own wifi entirely - a lot of them lease from a business internet provider and the provider's router just died. That still doesn't explain the five hour outage, they should have had a backup hotspot ready to loan out. The fire alarm thing is just bad luck with whoever keeps bringing popcorn.

Seems like everything is just held together with tape and good intentions these days.
