Co-founders Nick Oakes and Holly Anderson, spent years in the confines of office spaces until the pandemic forced a change. Like many, they transitioned to remote work and initially struggling to adapt. Yet, amidst the chaos, they stumbled upon an unexpected oasis for productivity: their local bar.

At first, it seemed an odd choice, but they found themselves drawn to the vibrant ambiance and the energetic hum of chatter. Surrounded by the clinking of glasses and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, they discovered a newfound focus and creativity that eluded them in the traditional office setting.

Statistics and studies supported their newfound revelation. They read about the positive impact of varied work environments on creativity and productivity. It resonated deeply. They found solace in the Harvard Business Review’s findings, which linked unconventional workspaces to heightened creativity. The Peldon Rose study’s revelation about productivity increasing by 58% in different work settings aligned perfectly with their experience.

Networking, another unexpected perk, became a cornerstone of their bar-and-restaurant workspace. Engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds and industries, they forged connections and exchanged innovative ideas effortlessly.

The flexibility of this unconventional setup, coupled with the conducive environment, drastically improved their work-life balance. A FlexJobs survey reinforced their belief that flexibility contributed to overall satisfaction and well-being.

Nick and Holly’s journey from the confines of a traditional office to the dynamic setting of a local bar and restaurant transformed their approach to work. It wasn’t just a change in scenery; it was a revolution in productivity, creativity, and overall fullfillment.
