The Best Coworking Space in Salem, MA? Here’s Why Workbar Stands Out

If you live in Boston and hear “Salem,” you probably picture witches, cobblestones, and maybe a 90-minute parking struggle. But what if we told you Salem is not just for Halloween, history buffs, or North Shore natives? Hot take incoming! Workbar Salem might be the hidden gem in our entire coworking lineup.

Let’s clear up a few common misconceptions.

“Isn’t that, like… way out there?”

This is the myth we’re here to bust. Salem is only 30 minutes from North Station by commuter rail. You could sip a cold brew, knock out an email, and be stepping off the train by the time you finish reading this post. Even better? Trains run frequently during peak hours, and you can use the $11 unlimited day pass to bop around the entire system if you’re feeling extra mobile.

“But what if I’m driving?”

We can’t promise you won’t hit a ‘lil traffic on your way up there (this is still Greater Boston we’re talking about), but we can promise a zero-stress parking situation when you arrive. The MBTA garage in Salem is just $5 a day to park. Five dollars! That’s less than your oat milk latte, people. Plus, there are plenty of open spots, and the walk to Workbar is so short you won't even need to switch out of your driving shoes (but please tell us if you still wear driving shoes, we want to know more).

“There’s a… boat?”

Yes, friend. Hop on that ferry! There’s a seasonal ferry from Boston’s Long Wharf to downtown Salem, and not enough people are talking about it. Think salty breeze, skyline views, and the smug satisfaction of skipping I-93 completely. It’s scenic. It’s efficient. It’s the only commute that doubles as a harbor tour.

“And once I’m there…?”

You’ll find our Workbar Salem location right on Washington Street — close enough to the action, but quiet enough to hear yourself think (and type, and Zoom). It’s a bright, open space with all the Workbar perks you know and love:

  • Quiet and collaborative neighborhoods
  • Phone booths and private rooms
  • Locally roasted coffee at the push of a button
  • Blazing fast Wi-Fi (obvi)
  • Rooftop balcony so you can soak up that Vitamin D while you work

Plus, the local lunch options? Elite.

From tacos at Howling Wolf to baked goods at A&J King, you’ll be scheduling your next coworking day around snack time. And honestly, we support that.

Don't Sleep on Salem!

If you’re working hybrid or remote, expanding your routine beyond the city is a power move. Workbar Salem gives you a change of scenery without sacrificing productivity — and it’s a lot closer (and cooler) than you might think.=

So whether you’re commuting by train, car, or boat like a coastal executive, give Workbar Salem a try. Because the only thing spooky about it… is how underrated it is.
