I came to Alloy 26 to co-work with my colleagues for a few days. I'm sure the experience as a…read moreregular member versus being a drop-in visitor is different, but overall, I thought this co-working space was just okay and if I have a choice I won't go back. It's advertised on their website that they have "fresh coffee, snacks, and drinks". This was not my experience. The only snacks I saw were a few bags of pretzels. There were two coffee options - one automated machine and a drip coffee in the lobby. The automated machine coffee was stale and flavorless. The drip coffee was fresh and tasted good overall but only accesible for a few hours of the day. I went to the lobby to get coffee around 1-2 PM and it had already been put away for the day. There were no other drinks to my knowledge. The convenience store, Eco Bistro, which is right next door and has soft drinks, snacks and drip coffee, closes at 1 or 2 o'clock every day. There are other coffee shops nearby but I wasn't comfortable walking around on my own in this area of town. Plan accordingly if you want snacks or use the vending machines in the coworking space. The private phone booths were comfortable and sound proof but so hot. There was zero air flow in these booths and I personally couldn't be in one for longer than 5-10 minutes at a time without having to open and close the door to let some air in. The open desk areas were nice and spacious and the chairs were super comfortable. I particularly liked the open booth seating. The temperature throughout the rest of the space was comfortable. There was also at least one walking desk which was really cool to use! Pro space: if you're just dropping in, ask the front desk for a key. Just keep in mind you'll have to return the key before 5 pm when they leave work. The coworking space stays open past 5 but you won't have your key. I think Alloy 26 is a nice enough space but really has some kinks to work out. There's very little natural light throughout the space and the desks that are near the windows (which have an amazing view of PNC Park) are sparse or non-existent. I would suggest adding more proper desk spaces by the windows for people to work. I also wasn't sure of the cleanliness of the space. There were few (if any) disinfectant wipes around to clean surfaces after someone had previously used them that same day. I do know they clean and disinfect at night and the space overall is clean and doesn't have any visible issues. Finally, I recommend taking advantage of the multiple security guards working in the building if you're concerned about panhandlers and harassment. The woman running the front desk told me that security is happy to escort you to your car or to different nearby areas on premise. This area of town has some growing pains and it's best to know that security is widely available should you need it.

I personally never placed myself with my team inside the four walls of this place. My executive…read moreassistant asked of me to step up and make the awkward experience known from way back sometime ago. First and foremost we don't have any affiliation with the Alloy 26 whatsoever. Our team now is housed in Shadyside area's corporate owned offices. Apparently as I were told by several that a chief of some sort runs around the facility like on a mission. Then outside guests take over the place with total disregard for those who pay monthly for the space. Even the break area is taken over by non renters. The place is like a community center run like a public library. I urge those to think twice before considering this place. I have extended my up most apologies to all those that had to experience this awful time and place. I now consider this matter closed and move on.

That is the case with this space right here. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you enter the doors you are amazed by everything. For my review I can only attest to the downstairs portion of this place as that was where the event was held. The upstairs, from what I can tell from pictures from their website, looks cozy and welcoming. The downstairs is a big space that you can hold quite the event in it. It may not look big from the outside, but once you are inside you can tell that there is more than enough space for any even to be had. On other thing about the downstairs portion is that you have a small deck area to hang out on near the entrance which adds to the size of this place. Lighting can be controlled so if you want to have an intimate area all you need to do is dim the lights. Ample space for a DJ to set up, buffet table and dance floor, and still have room for many tables for your guests. The only thing that might need some work here is the people that work the front door. They weren't so welcoming and it felt like there was some judging going on when this was your first visit to the establishment. Some of the guests that attended the party I was at felt as if they weren't welcome as well when being told that this is a "social club" instead of asking if they knew where there were to be going. Some simple signage might help in the future as to what party is being held where.
