Hacker Lab

I like it so much here I volunteer my time. See me at the front desk and online...I love all the creative projects and people I run into. Best place to see anyone you might know from anywhere.I would have been hanging out here more sooner if I had known from the start about more than just the tech aspects of the space. It is great to experience the hustle and bustle 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

The Hacker Lab is in a great downtown location. It is a warehouse size, multi-roomed building that offers the budding business person a chance to rent an office space of their own. Rooms vary in size for that private office, to meetings or class rooms, to a large, spacious work shop. All in one place, to help the entrepreneur and creative minded alike. Even machinery, hardware and techno equipment are available on the premises and still expanding. The members of the Hacker Lab were very nice in educating us about their facilities during our Elite Yelp event, in which they graciously allowed us to invade and snoop.This facility has so much going for it, that I see it doing well. Membership and rental fees vary, but quite reasonable. And they are accessible 24 hours a day. If anyone is looking for an office space, start their own business, or pursue artistic endeavors, forget about wasting that spare bedroom, attic or garage, this is the place to check out!

"Build. Code. Unite"SITREPThis is the motto of the Hacker Lab in Sacramento. As it were, only a few blocks away from where I live. Their mission is a simple one: they "aim to educate folks and seed start-ups with community driven resources."SETUPIt is a wonderful warehouse style venue space. I have memories of this physical lay-out when it USED to be Sub-Q tattoo parlor. My friend and fellow Yelper Rich K. also used to sub-let a space from Sub-Q for his music business Zoundhaus, for guitar instruction. However, when Sub-Q lost their lease, Rich had to move as well, which was a shame, because this was prime location in Midtown.So of course I was waiting with baited breath to see what would show up here.ENTER HACKER LABSo since I've been back to this "location" as it is now Hacker Lab, it is a treat to see how the set-up had changed since those previous Sub-Q & Zoundhaus days. This past Saturday Night I got to meet the leader of our local Hacker Lab, Eric, and he explained how Hacker Lab was desiged to be a workspace for BOTH students & professionals in this software & hardware space.As far as instruction and business principles, their instruction includes design & business development, educational courses for all ages and also promotes a "Community Mentorship" for those individuals who are running with a great idea for software or hardware or gaming and seeking to develop a startup-plan.THE LOWDOWNHacker Lab is a great place people to come and give their idea the potential to become a business. Networking and Industry Events

Awesome place.. ever time I walk they the door I feel right at home.. also provides the community with great opportunities

This is a great place to get an introduction to a new skill Ie coding, wood working, wielding, seeing, and more. I would not say these are "masters" in their fields but they know enough to get you started.The office space is quiet and good for a change of work at home s energy.Kid Friendly... nope

Hacker Lab is a magical warehouse maker and office work space. The collaboration between owners and Chalk It Up (my favorite local non-profit) is unparalleled; they continue to impress me with their friendly customer service and above-and-beyond generosity toward customers and the community. Two conference rooms are available. It's easy to sign up. Great location at R Street in Midtown. So many amenities! Check their website for more info on what comes with membership.

Had High Hopes for this place. I signed up online and started my month in May. It wasnt as hot then but This is near the end of June and they are "still working with Management on installing AC." In return they offered a free class For your Troubles. Keep in mind this is Sac you know how how it gets. I will try other co working labs. The actual space is great for Making stuff but as far as sitting down and working on a computer eh. Rocklin location is great this is just for the Midtown one.

This is an incredibly cool "tech-hacking, company-building, knowledge sharing space," as they describe it. What does that mean? It's a place where entrepreneurs, mainly of the technical variety, can rent office space and pursue their first million. They boast thirteen private and semi-private offices, open collaborative space, private meeting rooms, and a large conference room. It's actually a huge building. What I like the most is that it's an affordable way to get yourself an office and out of the house while looking professional, even if you may not feel like it. Owner Gina is as cool as they come and always welcome to show you around the "campus." If just the thought of a private office doesn't tickle your fancy, read the following tech porn. Their "Hardware Fabrication Zone" in the back features "over 3,000 sf dedicated space for hardware fabrication and prototyping with equipment such as: drill press, soldering station mill, grinder, band saw, metal bending unit, oxyacetylene welding station, full electronics lab(dc power, signal, multi meter. Oscilloscope, computer), circuit prototyping board, and more! In the coming months our toolbox will grow to include items such as: CNC, lathe, and a 3D printer."Not to shabby for a technical paradise, don't you think?

Build it and they will come..............Where else can anyone and everyone come together to figure out the next great thing or tweek the almost next great thing? Where beverages flow, snacks prevail and the sound of clicking keyboards become ideas in motion.Even if you have no idea how to turn on a computer (not sure how you made it here to Yelp then), it's a place to check out.Only suggestion - let me drop my kids off there for a week long camp...... I promise to bring juice boxes and chips galore!!!

Pricing is affordable compared to other coworking spaces but is still a coworking space price :-) Staff is super helpful, nice, and encouraging, especially the women that does front desk and lead metal working workshops!
