The Malin
National coworking brand The Malin entered the Austin market this fall with the launch of a new location on the east side, its first in Texas. The hospitality-driven workspace has room for 24 desks, 12 phone booths, 10 private offices, four meeting rooms and a pair of libraries across 12,000 square feet. Members can also access executive assistant and concierge services ranging from support for meeting preparation to dining reservations.
The new multi-story eatery and bar concept from Eldridge Hospitality is inspired by classic Midwestern diner and pub culture. It features a dining area, multiple bar spaces and a private second floor area, and a rooftop patio overlooking downtown. Signature dishes and classic bar fare is offered alongside house cocktails, local beer and natural wine.
A new office, event and coworking facility is now open. The 33,000-square-foot workspace features almost 130 private offices, private suites and meeting rooms, and is staffed full-time. Amenities include onsite parking and bike lockers, a gym, multiple patios, fiber internet service, and drink and snack offerings. It’s Fuse's fifth coworking space in Texas.

Closings
Revival Coffee
The pink-colored coffee shop closed its doors on the East side late October. Local business owner Gabriela Alma Bucio was unable to secure a long-term lease for the future. The shop served traditional coffee drinks as well as specialty drinks and pastries inside the business’ famous pink interior. Bucio is hoping to relocate Revival Coffee in the future. Bucio also owns other businesses through Gabriela’s Group, such as restaurant Taquero Mucho and night club Mala Vida.
Outer Heaven Disco Club will close in March due to the landlord not renewing the club’s lease, according to a social media post from the business. Outer Heaven is a nightclub owned by Sean Daigle that offers karaoke Monday through Thursday and dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.
