Ask HN: Coworking Spaces in SF?

Looking for a place to work on my own projects in the evenings and weekends. I know WeWork exists, but I was wondering if anyone has other recommendations?

Library is quieter and better in terms of electric plugs and internet connection. Only downside is that it's closes pretty early. Only few days a week you can work till 7pm or 8pm. So it's perfect for a weekend. Main SF Library on Larkin is pretty good, has lots of light and open space. It has a restroom too. If you willing to tolerate commuting there, honestly outside looks sketch and always have something going on in there.

Coffee shops are better for a weekday. There might be troubles with wifi reliability or power outlets(there might not be), noise levels, people walking all the time. I found out that I prefer to go to cafe Reveille. It's nice and clean and they have pretty decent wifi, though they don't have any electric outlets. Another option is a Starbucks on Fillmore street. Main benefit being that it works until 9pm almost every day, and you can crank up few solid hours there after work

I second this, the SF Public Libraries are a great place to work. I used to work out of the Potrero Hill branch a lot.

The main library (the one by the Civic Center) closes way later than the rest. Good spot if you're working alone.

5th floor of SF public library ftw. Pretty chill up here :)
