I was a member for a year. I ended my membership after much contemplation. I originally joined because I was told it was a great opportunity to network and offered workspace. Being new to Atlanta this was appealing to me. However, after a year, I had made NO connections. People seem to stick to who they know. The workspaces are awesome. But, some of the staff always seemed to look at me like I didn't belong. It got uncomfortable going in. Also, the drinks and food are way overpriced. I brought it up to two of the advisors there and they never responded. As a member, there are no real benefits. You literally just have access. It's like bragging rights. You get to walk in at any time and flaunt your membership, but nothing real comes out of it. I run a non profit organization. I was told before joining that I would get great pricing on event space. When I inquired, the price was highly inflated. Literally the same, if not higher, than other and bigger venues in and around Atlanta. I also brought up the concerns when I opted to cancel. The young lady never addressed the prices or the member benefits but did offer to connect me to some people. I agreed to try. However, after telling her the type of connections I'd like to make (she asked) I didn't hear from her for 2 weeks. Then a few days before my automatic draft, I reached out to her to see if we could move forward with the connections and she responded that my membership had been cancelled as originally requested. She didn't even try. I felt extremely disrespected on multiple occasions at this club. To no fault of the owner. I personally met him once (although I see him often roaming around the club) on his birthday. Very friendly and seemed to be genuinely interested in if we were having a good time. I hated to leave but I've been a member of clubs before and this one really missed the mark with me. I guess I'm spoiled. But it could use some improvements in the membership department. I tried giving suggestions but they fell on deaf ears. Being a concierge and service expert the experience was mildly disappointing. Still an awesome spot. Membership just isn't worth it to me. I gave them thousands of dollars over the year with nothing in return. I am proud of it's growth, though. I hope TGS keeps growing and maybe if they get it right,...
Read moreI recently had the pleasure of visiting The Gathering Spot in Atlanta, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! I'm now a member! This unique and vibrant establishment truly lives up to its reputation as a premier social hub in the city.
From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting ambiance. The interior design is a perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy comfort, creating a delightful space to unwind and connect with others.
The staff at The Gathering Spot are truly outstanding. A special shout out to both Brittney and Janay! As a first time guest I had some issues with my corporate account card, and paying for my meals, as well as some challenges with reservations and they were so very helpful! They were not only friendly and attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the best ways for me to navigate the space. Their genuine passion for hospitality truly shines through and made my visit all the more enjoyable.
Speaking of the menu, the culinary offerings are nothing short of extraordinary! Whether you're a foodie looking for exquisite flavors or someone seeking comfort in familiar classics,
The facilities are top-notch as well. Ample seating, cozy nooks, and state-of-the-art technology make it an ideal spot for both work and play. I particularly enjoyed the high-speed Wi-Fi and the convenient charging stations, which allowed me to stay connected while I caught up on some work in between socializing.

Read moreI've been a member of TGS for roughly a year. I'm a technology professional and after having worked remotely for nearly 10 years, I was in search of a professional environment to break up the monotony of my home office. TGS is the perfect place. The staff is very customer centric in focus, the owners are very unassuming and always willing to help, the environment is an amazing mix of professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives and depending on what events are being hosted, you may experience ball room sophistication, corporate business acumen, or a more laid back casual vibe. The restaurant is great for meetings, the bar is great for a not so crowded happy hour and the co-working space is dynamic with large meeting rooms, smaller meeting rooms and an open floor for people that don't need to be completely isolated while working. There are too many perks to name but all in all, great idea, better execution and you won't be disappointed if you're able to gain access to this exclusive/referral only...
