Fabrik launched in 2023 with a clear mission: to end the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation by bringing people back together in real life.
We transform underutilized real estate into thriving social spaces where people and communities can connect, create, belong, and add social wellness into their week.
We're inviting community builders, entrepreneurs, content creators, and collaborators to join us as Founding Members. If you're passionate about creating a new kind of social space centered on real-life connection, help us bring Fabrik Chicago to life.
What Our Members Say
“Fabrik has been such a source of joy and energy - both for my community building efforts and my personal headspace. It’s been incredible to open up new avenues for collaboration with other community builders, and have a dedicated space to gather my own community members.”
Ruthie Berber, Led by Community, Women in Innovation, Old Girls Club
“Without Fabrik I don't know if I'd have a community. I will never forget doing my tour and talking about how I've wanted to host a workshop. Everyone at Fabrik was like... ‘Just do it!’ and in less than 24 hours I'd created my first event"
Brandon Dawkins, Modern Gentleman Project
“I chose Fabrik because I was seeking a third space that wasn’t just coworking but a place I could meet new people AND bring my existing community. I’m so honored and excited be part of the community!”
Jori Bell, Coaching Corner
"Joining Fabrik has been the best decision in 2025 so far. I love the space you created and communities you gather. It is truly a place to belong."
Tijana Buric, Career Alchemist
“Walking into a vibrant space with SO MANY connectors gave me energy and encouragement that I haven’t felt in a very long time. This is a crew that genuinely wants to be there to just connect and support. I love being part of a space where COMMUNITY is literally everything.”

Some are here to find a collaborator, others are reading a book, relaxing, or celebrating a milestone—big or small—with friends or new connections. It’s designed to serve whatever you need that day, always buzzing with energy and possibility.
Here’s what you’ll find in every Fabrik space:
⬩Coffee, tea, and snacks to keep you fueled
⬩High-speed wifi
⬩Community tables and cozy lounge areas
⬩Standing workstations and meeting rooms
⬩Dedicated spaces for group hosting
⬩Fully-equipped kitchen
⬩Printer and projector
This is everything you need to gather, create, and connect—with zero hassle. Membership gives you access to any space in our network, M-F, 9am-9pm.
