Parking:Free I have attended several events at the Gathering Spot and they have all been nice. Its a place that you can rent out for events and they also have some type of monthly membership where you can utilize the space for internet usage, meetings and other stuff. I attended the event for a Holiday Mixer this go round where they used the entire space for entertainment, food, djs, coat check and they even have outdoor space. Definitely go check them out. read more

Great place for productivity, learning and fun! I've visited the gathering spot a few times now, and have enjoyed each visit. I've attended a concert/party there, a singles talk, and now a stock market class. The atmosphere is modern and inviting. On my most recent visit, I attended what I thought was a stock trading class, which turned out to be an options trading class--and honestly, I was bummed at first, but I enjoyed the session overall and plan on using what I learnt. The staff is friendly, the amenities are solid, and the overall vibe is inspiring. If you're looking for a coworking space that balances professionalism with community, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! Oh and a big thing, there is lots of parking. Such an important not in Atlanta! read more

The Gathering Spot is located in downtown Atlanta at 384 Northyards Blvd NW Atlanta, GA 30313 in Suite 100 Two Tips: Parking is FREE!!! Bring a jacket or a sweater, the AC is on blast and it's kinda cold inside. I attended a Make Your Own History Black History event. The event was great and started on time.

Listen, I can't say enough about my experience at the Gathering Spot. In addition to this being a culture based private co-working club, there are so many benefits that you get with the membership. First of many is the free breakfast! With the price of food, that's worth it on its own. But it doesn't stop there, you also get monthly events and seminars included with your membership that pour into your business knowledge base and creates a network specific space for you to connect with likeminded individuals. I also love that they offer an array of other business services for entrepreneurs, creatives, and executives like meeting room rental, mailboxes, private desk rental, printing, and a restaurant and bar.

I've been to several hosted events at this business club. I LOVE the atmosphere, the interior, and how modern it is.

The Gathering Spot is the perfect event space! I've been to nearly 5 or 6 different events here and they were all complimented well by this establishment. The parking lot is huge, so you won't have an issue finding a spot. The main lobby area is nice with a few areas for seating. More around the corner is a large bar that usually has two or three bartenders. Across from the bar are table tops to stand, converse, drink/eat. The main room is very spacious. I've been in this room where there's been a free for all mingle session with live music and I've been in this room for screenings with hundreds of chairs. This spot works well for either type event. It's cold in here, so keep that in mind if you need to bring a light jacket. read more

I am a member in the NYC sector of TGS. A lot of the members are cliquish, competitive, messy and mean-spirited. Not enough events are happening for the NYC group compared to the other cities. Theres so much to do in nyc, so why doesn't TGS acquire more events? I don't feel I'm getting my moneys worth. The few events I did attend, the members were standoffish and cliquish! i won't be renewing my subscription read more

Membership has its privileges! Since its doors opened in 2016, I have been a repeat visitor of The Gathering Spot (TGS) for community, professional and social events. In 2019, I decided to finally commit and join as a member. I applaud the two young African American male professionals and entrepreneurs for establishing this hot spot for events, experiences and workspace. The vibe varies daily depending on what's happening--celebratory, studious or simply a chill spot. Membership gives you great benefits such as access to cool complimentary or low cost private events (the majority have been free), complimentary breakfast M-F (includes 1 guest) with options for both the meat lover and the vegan, meeting space (complimentary and paid), complimentary event space (inside or garden areas), free membership for married couples, and discounts for local businesses. Watchout for TGS to open its locations in DC and LA soon. TGS is welcoming for ALL-Baby Boomers, Generation X (like myself) and millennials. It's the ideal spot to make network connections. Free parking, tasty food in the restaurant for lunch & dinner, and great bar area plus the bartender Russell is cool. TGS is definitely the new hot spot for "Where ATL gathers" to get business done and to chill and take a break from business. It's dope to be one of the foundation members of TGS! read more

This is about the Gathering Spot's catering which is amazing. An organization that I am apart of has a membership with the Gathering Spot and pre-covid our meeting are held there. They offered Father's day catering which was very affordable and right on time as we were in the height or the pandemic and knew we'd have to celebrate Father's day at home. So there were 3 different packages you could get ranging from $55-$65 and each package fed 4 people. We selected the $65 package and choose the surf and turf which was steak and prawns, lobster mac and cheese, mixed roasted vegetables, the grilled romaine caesar salad, and the assorted dessert wontons. We had 5 adults coming to dinner and my toddler so I called an asked about upgrading our package to include one more person and a grilled chicken breast for my toddler. Someone immediately contacted me back and called me to process additional payment. The pick up was curbside and easy and the portion sizes were huge. Most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS. The steak as juicy and not overly cooked and topped with huge prawns. It came with a pan butter sauce you could drizzle on top. The lobster mac and cheese was decadent and creamy with huge pieces of crab folded in and they gave you a pan of the stuff! We had left overs. The grilled caesar was such a nice touch on the traditional caesar salad. It was a romaine wedge that had been kissed on the grill with delicious caesar dressing. The mixed veggies were well seasoned and kind of spicy. The chicken breast was well seasoned, juicy and flavorful. CONS: The sauces weren't labeled so we accidentally put some of the sauce for the dessert wontons on one of the steaks. The dessert wontons were not very flavorful, dry, and the dough flavor, color, and texture made it appear and taste undercooked. I think the cooking time needed to be increased on these as well as and egg wash added to them and additional filling. We had gotten a cake from another establishment for the fathers in the family so we ate that for dessert instead. We were even contacted by the head of catering afterwards to see how they did and extend us a special treat to use in 2021. All in all it was very delicious, high quality, and affordable. I can't wait to see what other menu offerings they have. read more

Love this place! Great vibe! It's the only Black-owned professional club that I've experienced. I've been to The Vinings Club, The Ashford Club and The Georgian Club previously. They were all fine for that old boys network feel. It's a pleasure to be in a business space that is full of people who look like me. They have a menu with plenty of vegan options for me and my vegan crew It's not at all stuffy and has a modern, urban vibe. Food is delicious and service is excellent. My home away from home. Price is comparable to other professional clubs and co-working spaces. If you're self-employed like me and need the office space or if you want to join and amazing community for business and personal networking, this is a wonderful choice! Congrats TGS on your 5 year anniversary and expansion to DC and LA! This venue is a perfect refuge read more

I went to a party at this venue last weekend with some girlfriends. The crowd was pretty mixed but as usual women far out numbered the men. There was definitely a lot of posturing going on but to each his own. The DJ was good (it was an rnb party). The venue is lovely. Bar service was pretty slow and the drinks werent very good but I had a decent time. Parking was abundant and free. Membership is too pricey for me but not a bad spot to check out. Cheers. read more

Still in the building process but so far everyone I've interacted with has been 5 star. I can't wait to network with like minded individuals once everything is together. Events book up fast, so I recommend logging in the app daily to see what's new. read more

I love this place. Every time I've visited as a guest to meet with a member or attend an event, It's feels like a cool music video. Everyone is well dressed, hip, cool and about their business. I've never seen another place like it. I was a member of the Commerce Club which turned out to be a total disappointment. The foos is good, the space is beautiful and the events for members are fantastic. If this location works for you, I'd highly suggest treating yourself to a membership here. read more

Great food! The best owner!! Had a great time with family in town for lunch 2 days in a row.

Thanks to Natasha A Harrison of CommunityBuild Ventures, I had the opportunity to meet at The Gathering Spot! She included both Nikki Porcher of buyfromablackwoman.org and cofounder of The Gathering Spot, TK Petersen. Everything about the space I witnessed during my visit was sheer excellence. From the greeters at the check in desk to the kindness of the waitstaff - all had great energy. The art, the blues and grey's, the choice in furniture, the workspaces, the podcasting space - BEAUTIFUL! Visiting the space made me really think much more about going ahead and living in Atlanta a few months a year! Good luck on DC! read more

I've heard a lot about The Gathering Spot and think the concept is pretty cool. Came here for a work event and must say that the staff sure knew how to be helpful and made sure that our event was a success. Finding TGS wasn't too difficult. Soon as you turn into the Northyards, drive down the road, go through the gate, turn right and look for building 100. The signage outside the building made it even easier to find. We used their event space which has several screen inside and your able to easily access and setup your presentations if needed and no need to scream during your presentation because they even have a fancy wireless mic. We utilized their restaurants catering serving and the food (bbq sliders, deviled eggs, and fruit tray) was delicious. The staff made sure we had all we needed and even though our event went a little longer than scheduled, they didn't barge in and make a big scene about us needing to leave. Really good experience. read more

This is my new favorite place!!! Found them on Instagram and loved all of the great things they were doing. From the events, talks, community work, to the symphony in the lawn. I mentioned it to a friend and she was able to get us a tour!! John gave us a tour of this beautiful place, and he was great. Very patient and showed us around and told us about the events and surprise guest who happened stop by. You never know who you may see.. I was so inspired and proud at the same time. So happy to see such smart young men doing their thing!!! Can't wait to move back to Atlanta full time bc you are going to see me in EVERY IG shot!!! #FutureMember read more

The Gathering Spot is currently thriving off of Dishonesty. They are overselling themselves as a Black Owned Business, when the majority of their employees are Black and in fact are Miserable. Not to mention, The highest positions in this company are held by Non-Black People. So basically the entry level employees who are Black have Non-Black Superiors. This is a huge contradiction in itself, and it's also a contradiction to the way their social media and marketing displays the company's values. Management cannot or chooses not to connect with the lifestyles of most of their entry level employees. They reiterate that The Gathering Spot is a place for driven, business people to experience solidarity and safety especially amidst the current Black Lives Matter Movement. These values are not encouraged for the employees. Ask all entry level employees, especially in the Food and Beverage Department, if they feel management truly cares about their well being and prosperity and you'll get some interesting answers. In particular, The Owner and Co-Founder Ryan Wilson, has publicly shown support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, but his behavior is just like their opponent, Donald Trump. Ryan Wilson is disrespectful and dismissive to entry level employees, and quite frankly the man has a reputation of Immaturity eerily similar to that of Donald Trump. Most of the actual paying members are successful, upstanding people; however they don't understand the full picture of what exactly they are buying into. There are allegations that working there feels like High School all over again, and that some people seem to want to ruthlessly follow behind the spoiled rich kid, Wilson, just to get ahead in Life. No one deserves to come to a Toxic Work Environment nor do they deserve to feel worse when they leave work and take home the anxiety of possibly losing their job the next day. There is room for improvement, whenever management decides to become open to new ideas and opinions of their employees who work hard to make The Gathering Spot what it is. Entry level Employees, particularly in Food in Beverage, feel severely underpaid but allegedly the company has enough money to pay for most of their Celebrity appearances... Until management makes necessary changes to how staff is being treated, Ryan Wilson will continue to lack the respect of his employees and The Gathering Spot will continue to be a Business of ill repute. read more

Cool spot where you can eat, mingle, and shop in one place. While waiting for my food I did some shopping at the market. They have a pretty good wine selection, and I really racked up on the buy one get the second bottle for a $1! Apparently they keep this section available and just switch out different types of wines. They also have a refrigerated section where you can purchase fresh chicken salad, tuna salad, etc. The employees were very helpful and friendly. The food was pretty good as well. We had the cheese steak and a burger. The prices were reasonable, and I like that you can watch the cook prepare your food. The menu is limited and this is more of a lunch spot or a place where you grab a small bite to eat. There are only fountain drinks available, no alcohol. It appears that they're still building around the market so the building is fairly new. There's great potential, and I'm sure in months to come there will be some other great spots to check out here. read more

I came to the Gathering Spot for an industry event and I'm so glad that I was able to finally get to check it out. I've heard and seen so many wonderful things about this place. I believe the event I attended was in the main space and it was huge. It also had a large bar and across from the bar, it had some tables and chairs where you could sit down comfortably and converse. There was security and staff and the front door answering questions and directing you to the right areas, which is a plus. The restroom had plenty of stalls so you didn't have to wait because women were in and out quickly. Also the restroom was attended to and cleaned/checked periodically. Outside, the parking lot is a nice size and it is well lit so you don't have to worry about it being dark or inadequate parking. The event staff also had hors d'oeuvres, but wasn't able to try any of it but it did look delicious. I must say whomever came out with this idea and made it into a reality, hats off to you. The Gathering Spot is a great event space! read more

...So I am going to address the elephant in the room here and summarize: this social club is all hype, no substance. Great, that it's minority owned, I suppose, but not if it's not that great. And it's not. It's just mediocrity at a price that insinuates otherwise. Supporting the cause is no excuse for settling for less. I'm hoping it will get better over the next few years, simply because I'm rooting for these guys. Honesty, in my opinion is how progress is made, not insincere flattery. There's a lot of opportunities for growth here. I hope it happens. Hmm. I think my disappointment lies in the fact that I'm not really sure what you're paying for here. What are they selling? What is the membership fee for exactly? It's listed as a social club, but I did not get that feeling AT ALL. The events were a yawn, which is why I imagine a lot of members don't go to them. Is it mainly a space to be rented out for events? Is the fee just for co-working? I wanted to like this place, but I was not impressed. Even the decor wasn't anything special, and if Atlanta has one thing figured out, it's interior design, why doesn't this place look better/cooler/more reflective of being an exclusive members only social club? Please go find someone who's doing it well, put your own spin on it, but learn from them. Find people who KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. People who have big dreams are ready to be assistants, not people in charge of making decisions. Essentially, as a member, you pay a fee to then go and pay for more stuff --every event, the restaurant, the bar, things 'for members only' are all additional fees. Members don't get anything special, no special treatment, no special perks, no nothing (even a drink or a celebratory bottle of champagne would be SOMETHING). You're just paying a fairly high membership fee, for, again, I couldn't figure out what. Actually, no, when you join, you do get a box with some stuff in it that is all throw away-- not useful, advertisement type stuff. The box did not seem like it was curated by people who care at all. There was no thought or heart put into it, just trash to add to the environment. As a member, you can bring friends here, and I think the membership rate is better for couples (meh...), but essentially, you bring your guest and then you BOTH can pay more money to the organization for things like dull events and food and drinks at the restaurant. You can pay to rent the event space, as well. I wouldn't. It was pricey in my opinion for what you get, considering the decor and lack of taste/style. There are far too many other cool places that Atlanta has to offer. I'm going to be fair, the food I had here was decent enough, and the staff was nice. To be clear I just mean the food wasn't bad, but there are better bars and restaurants in Atlanta, certainly not worth paying a membership fee for, on top of the cost of whatever you purchase at the bar/restaurant. Again I ask, why is it not more stylish? Trendier? Cooler? Interesting? Appearance should be more important here. This is not an experience. It's a bore. Seriously. People want ambience. Ambience will compliment decent food and that combination is what will make people come. That is what makes it seem more like an exclusive membership worthy experience. This place has no personality. I wasn't sure if I wanted to join, initially, I mean it sounded cool and I wanted to be supportive, and the member who was telling me about it was vague and seemed to not want to say anything unsupportive. I couldn't find any detailed or thorough reviews. The reviews here sound to me like people who felt obligated to say something nice. So as harsh as this review might sound, I'm telling it straight. I wish someone had told me. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I received an invite for an alumni networking event at the Gathering Spot. I'd heard some good things about the venue through various channels and I was excited to see for myself. The venue is located in the GA Tech area, and is owned by a group of young African-American men. In addition to hosting events, the space apparently is used by members as a 24/7 workspace. As mentioned by several people, the parking lot is large. Staff is positioned at the front entry to direct you to the space for your particular event. I thought that the interior was nicely done, and I really appreciated the artwork throughout the space. We were in a section near the bar. This was great because there was a game on in the background. Also, the kitchen was nearby and staff circulated regularly with appetizers including shrimp and grits, grillled chicken/veggies. Upon entry we were given 2 drink tickets for beer or wine. In additon, the full bar was available for purchase. As I circulated around the general area, I sat at the bar, at hightops in the bar area, and on sofas in the area. I did not have an opportunity to get a close look at potential work spaces, so I can't comment on that aspect of the venue. Service from the staff was professional, and the vibe in the room seemed to be positive. I will look forward to another chance to visit. read more

Great meeting venue. I attended a college Alumni event here and this space is awesome for networking meetings. We had an open space for networking and a stage for panelists and seats for the audience which worked well for the event. The event staff were great, professional and dressed in black. The passed hor d'oeuvres were pretty good. We had veggie spring rolls and chicken and waffles among other things. The bar was ok. Parking is plentiful. Overall, I would recommend this location for networking events or small meetings/seminars. read more

So far... I have attended 2 events here. One was a relationship panel event hosted by Dr. Heavenly and the other was a Summer Social hosted by Emerging 100 Atl. This place is HUGE. Apparently, it offers meeting space for entrepreneurs who may not have their own office space. The concept... STELLAR. Parking is plentiful. Location is great near West Midtown, Dome, Varsity... etc. It isn't far from the expressway and it is in a great part of town. The venue has a nice outside patio area as well. I didn't get to tour the entire facility but there is also an upstairs area. I wish I had taken pictures but I was totally wrapped up in the moment. From what I understand, there is a monthly fee or yearly fee to become a member and have access to the premises. However, I think that is still cheaper than renting an actual office space monthly. read more

The Gathering Spot is a great place for a young professional or creative to network and plug in to be productive at any time of the day or night. The main feature that attracted me to TGS when I was still in law school was the 24 hour workspace. Since graduating and expanding my professional needs, I've realized that TGS doesn't offer private offices like comparable co-working spaces. However, it still provides vibes that are unmatched (especially for black professionals). Their menu is just okay (in my humble opinion), but what they lack in variety they make up for in customer service. TGS has great events and is a great place to entertain a client or host a meeting. read more

This place is awesome & Black-Owned! The ambiance is great, the wait staff is great, the prices are mid-high level but it's worth it. On top of that, the parking is free!

A very nice event venue and incubator space for business owners. Plenty of parking as well.

I went to a networking event here last month. This is a great spot for meetings, small conferences and general networking. I liked the stage and meeting area setup. The catered food was pretty average but still sufficient. This is also in an excellent location m; close to downtown Atlanta. My only complaint was a lack of seating and the long wait for the event to commence. However; this could be attributed more to the promoter than the venue. Still; a great spot. read more
