Frequently Asked Questions

  • Let’s put it like this: Y’know how working from home usually sucks? And working from coffee shops can also suck? That’s where coworking comes in! Coworking spaces act like your favorite hangout spot—but for getting work done! They're full of free coffee, strong WiFi, and other awesome people who are doing their thing, too. It’s like working together but on your own projects, with a built-in community ready for those water-cooler chats or collaboration moments! And when you need privacy, you can pop into a phone booth or book a meeting room. It's flexible, fun, and makes work feel a little less like...well, work. And the Rec Room? With all of that in a skylight-filled space in the heart of Montclair, we'll be all you've always wanted and never knew you needed!

  • This October! Jump on our newsletter list to be the first to know the official opening date - and you can win a free day pass, too.

  • All adults are welcome in our space. If you have a need to get out of your house/library/local coffee shop/apartment/dorm for strong WiFi and great vibes, Rec Room is for you.

  • Inside Lackawanna Station, on the corner of Bloomfield Ave and Grove Street. If you’ve been to Montclair Flea, we’re right across the hall!

  • In our lot or directly “across the street” in a second large lot. Don’t be fooled, though - that “across the street lot” has an entrance that leads right into the building, so no need to cross the street to come in.

    Just make sure you download the HONK app and pay for the time you’re there ($1.50/hr) so you don’t get ticketed.

    There’s also metered parking that surrounds Rec Room at $1/hour, but those spots usually have a 2 hour limit. If you’re lucky, you might be able to find free street parking, too!

  • Nope! Our day passes are a flexible and affordable way to drop into our space anytime. No memberships or commitments needed! (Although we hope you love being here as much as we do and decide to take advantage of our many membership packages - something’s bound to fit your needs and budget!)

  • Yes! We offer shared household memberships for an extra $50/month or $550/year.

    Here’s how it works:
    Let’s say you pick the 4 visits/month membership—normally $97/month or $1067/year. If you want to share those 4 visits with someone you live with, the total becomes $147/month or $1617/year. Simple.

    Now, how the visits work depends on the membership:

    • For 4-visits/month: You and your household member share the 4 visits. If one of you comes in, that’s one visit. If you both come in on the same day, that’s two visits. You get to mix and match how you use them.

    • For Unlimited or Dedicated Desk: Only one of you can use the space at a time. If you both want to be there on the same day, the second person just grabs a discounted day pass.

    It’s a great way to work better together (or just get out of each other’s way).

  • Alright, here’s how payments will work pre-opening:

    Monthly Members
    Pay for your first month now to lock in your founding member perks. After that, your membership payments will pause until the 31st day Rec Room is open. That’s when your monthly billing starts up automatically—same payment method, once a month, until you say otherwise.

    Annual Members
    Pay upfront now, and your year kicks off on Day 1 of Rec Room’s official opening. It’ll run through Day 365, with the option to renew (we hope you do!). Plus you’ll get 10% of your plan’s cost back in credits as a bonus—each worth $1 to spend on conference room time. High five!

  • Yes! Every membership comes with built-in discounts, with the biggest savings coming with annual packages. We also have need-based scholarships available for those in marginalized communities, which you can learn more about here.

  • Monday-Friday 8am-6pm (but events can run as late as 9pm) and Saturdays 10-4.

  • Absolutely! We’ll be conducting hard hat tours this summer and would love to show you around. Let us know you’re interested and we’ll reach out with our calendar as soon as it’s ready.

  • Contact us and we’ll get back to you ASAP!
