Welcome to New Richmond’s Living Room
A deep-focus workspace by day. A social NA lounge and acoustic venue by night.

Step out of the current
We all feel the current. The rush of endless Zoom calls, the kitchen table fatigue, and the lack of a 'Third Place' that isn't a noisy bar or a silent library.
In a fast-moving river, an eddy is the calm spot behind a rock where the water slows down and swirls back upstream. It is a place to rest in the middle of the rush.
The Eddy is that sanctuary for New Richmond. A flexible private club designed to break the routine. No staff hovering over you. No distractions. Just a curated space where you can do your best work, or simply do nothing at all.
A Dynamic Space

Common Questions
Note: this FAQ is based on preliminary planning and specifics will likely be adjusted.
-
The $99 (or $990 if annual) deposit is your vote of confidence in The Eddy. By backing us now, you help us prove the concept and fund the buildout. In exchange, you lock in the $99/mo rate for life and secure your spot on the Founders Wall. The $99 is credited directly to your first month of membership when we open.
-
While the annual membership provides the most value, the monthly membership is the most flexible and can be canceled with a 30-day notice so we can manage capacity. Note: The "Founding Member" rate is only valid for continuous memberships. If you cancel and rejoin later, you will return at the current market rate.
-
We are planning to open on the main street in downtown New Richmond (Knowles Ave). We are currently finalizing the paperwork on a historic storefront that fits our vibe perfectly. We will drop the exact address to our Founding Members first.
-
While we’re still working through specifics, there will be music and there will be games. Become a member to get the most say in what’s included!
Music: There will always be music to fit the mood, whether it be a live acoustic musician, vinyl album listening, or ambient sounds to promote flow state.
Games: Think board games, video games, darts, etc.
-
Our main level—which includes the Lounge, Coffee Bar, Restrooms, and primary Workspaces—is fully accessible from the street. However, The Eddy is located in a historic building without an elevator, so the lower level ("The Den") is accessible via stairs only. All amenities (power, wifi, refreshments) are available on the main floor.
-
Day Mode (Workspace): 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
Night Mode (Social): 5:00 PM – Late. Members have access 24/7. If you do your best work at 2 AM, the space is yours.
-
Yes. Members are allowed to bring guests for meetings or coffee for up to 2 hours free of charge. If your guest needs to work for the full day, they will need to purchase a Day Pass ($20) at the bar.
-
We operate on the "Coffee Shop Rule." Short, semi-quiet calls are fine in the Upstairs Lounge. For loud, confidential, or long meetings, please step into one of our phone booths or book the meeting room. The Downstairs Den is a silent zone.
-
To ensure a clean environment for everyone (and manage allergies), The Eddy is a pet-free facility. Kids: During workday hours (8am–5pm), we are an 18+ workspace to ensure focus. During evening social hours and weekend events, supervised children are welcome to join the community.
