This was an expat favorite during it’s time. They closed at their main location in early 2024 and we await to see if they reopen anywhere else. So, the below information is out of date and we’ll update if they reopen. Leaving this here for posperity!
LOKAL was founded by a former digital nomad, and so they have an excellent understanding of the needs of remote workers. Located just outside of Vake, their location offers a pleasant ambience away from the busy main streets of Tbilisi. Their workspaces are multiple smaller rooms, as well as covered and garden outdoor spaces, rather than the large open plan spaces you find in many coworking spaces.
What makes LOKAL stand out from other coworking spaces available in Tbilisi is that they offer coliving options as well, so you can quickly integrate with the community by living on site with other digital nomads.
LOKAL offers several daily coworking options, as well as membership opportunities. Note: LOKAL lists their prices in USD, which at the time of writing is approximately 3.1 GEL to 1 USD.
