Fabrika Tbilisi: Hostel, Coworking Space & Creative Hotspot

Somehow it’s no wonder that Tbilisi and Georgia end up more and more often on travel wish lists: Things are happening in Tbilisi. While tourists can still somehow come to terms with overcrowded and hyped city destinations like Berlin or Barcelona by going there out of season, the whole thing looks different for the ever-growing number of nomadic freelancers and artists. Berlin and Barcelona have always been prototypes for energetic, international cities where it was possible to live and work spontaneously and at low cost. But just: That was once.

Fabrika Tbilisi: Hostel & Sanctuary for Creatives and Digital Nomads

Welcome to my travel blog

Hey, I’m Tatiana and I’m the blogger behind The Happy Jetlagger. Since 2014, I’ve been sharing my personal travel stories on this blog. I don’t have a big team behind me, so I’m pretty much a one-person show: I’ve researched and tested all recommendations myself.

Coworking spaces are no longer these small-scale organized office communities that you can book into spontaneously – they have now become a real industry in which big players are happy to play. At the appropriate price. It is also not getting any easier for artists to find suitable studio space.

Und irgendwie schlägt sich das, zumindest in Berlin, in der Stimmung der Stadt nieder. Alles ist ein bisschen weniger kreativ, weniger spontan, weniger innovativ geworden. Das kann einem ja als Tourist zunächst egal sein, aber eine kreative, vibrierende Umgebung beeinflusst nunmal die Atmosphäre einer Stadt. Und dieses Spontane, Spannende – ist es nicht das, was uns an solchen Städten interessiert? Das Fabrika Tbilisi ist aber nicht nur Coworking Space, sondern vor allem auch ein ziemlich cooles Hostel! (Es gibt übrigens auch Privatzimmer.)

Fabrika Tbilisi – the urban hotspot of Tbilisi

Fabrika in Tbilisi is such an exciting place. Formerly a large textile factory, here is a kind of cultural center of the city. The centerpiece is the large building on the side of the street: where sewing machines once rattled in Soviet times, hipsters from all over the world now sleep in the Fabrika Hostel. The lobby: an old hall with meter-high mullioned windows, furnished with comfortable sofas and pinball machines.

Fabrika Tbilisi courtyard with cafes and studios

Next door is the adjoining restaurant with good cuisine, you can feel the will to create innovative dishes! So delicious!

However, there are other bars and restaurants on the premises, plus artist studios and a large coworking space. And all kinds of little gimmicks: the most beautiful murals, a converted VW van as a photo booth and an old Lada as a photo spot.
