Third Place by Half Full Brewery

I’m not big on leaving reviews but I had to for third place. I came in on Friday to try the cereal milk latte. The barista said he was out of milk but offered me and my friend a different drink to try, peppermint mocha and pistachio mocha. Probably one of the best mocha drinks I’ve had (and I’m a very big coffee drinker). He also recommended we get cold foam with the drinks and he did not disappoint. We came back again on Saturday, which was when he said the cereal milk would be ready. So freaking good. Besides the coffee, the atmosphere of third place is like non other. A lot of natural light and an abundance of space. Music choice was also great. The couches in the front are to die for, almost fell asleep on them. I also did see some biscoff lying around the counter. Really hoping this is a new drink they’re bringing out because I LOVE biscoff. Definitely will be coming back on Tuesday to work from home. 11/10 coffee and 11/10 service. Shoutout Tseten

This place RULES! The decor and vibe are on point - straight up modern chic done just right. Think urban brick, wood, industrial metal chic. Nicolette is very friendly and a great conversationalist who loves talking about the beers and is very knowledgeable. The beers are absolutely stellar. We did two IPA flights and they all had their own unique deliciosity. The bar stools are actually comfy (rare for me cuz I have a bony bottom). They also have live music, are family friendly, and have clean chic bathrooms!

I would 10/10 recommend booking Third Place for any events!! We had our wedding here last Saturday and it was a perfect experience. Leading up to the event, Sennett was instrumental in helping us plan out the day we wanted. As the events manager she helped us figure out the layout of the space, where to have our ceremony, our options for the bar, etc. Everything was super easy, clear, and flexible. We visited throughout the year to go over details and also just hangout because the atmosphere and drinks are great! It was also extremely affordable for a large event which made having a wedding with our giant families and group of friends possible. The day of the wedding all of the staff was INCREDIBLE! The vibes were high and they seemed genuinely happy to help us (shout out Grady for holding my purse behind the bar while I got married). Again, Sennet was iconic, helping us with little things as they arose. I wish I had written down everyone's names to thank them individually because they truly were all amazing and I appreciate how they made our day/night as great as it was! All in all, everything went exactly as we wanted and we had the absolute best time!! TL:DR - Book your wedding here OR just go hang out

I would 100% percent recommend using third place for any kind of event. Our company had a large work event (100-150 people), I reached out on Monday and the event was fully booked, menu completed, layout confirmed by Thursday. Sennett Cooke, their Event Coordinator, was AMAZING. She was a joy to work with, was so accommodating to all of our needs, very communicative, and was able to secure a custom menu for our Oktoberfest themed event within 3 days. We went through their caterer for the event, Bell Hill Dining, and they did such an amazing job. They went above an beyond to be onsite for the event and cook many of menu items fresh, then and their. We used their "Barrel Room", and had such great service. The bar tenders assisting during the event, Sam, Grady, Nicole, and Alfred were so nice and great to work with. Unbelievably great staff overall to work with. All of the bar tenders were so knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. As the point person at my company who coordinated the event, I can confidently say we will be using Third Place again in the future. I have never written a google review before, but they were so great that I felt the need to do it for the first time 🙂

This bar is one of the best run in Stamford. I have been a musician performing here, run trivia and a patron and it's good from all angles. Never had a problem with the staff. The layout is open and looks great. My only word of caution is that the parking around it can be tricky but that's not the bar's fault. The parking lot behind it fills up fast and it's easy to miss the entrance. After 5 o'clock the sign shop down the road usually has empty parking.

Oh, I WISH I was a local!!! We came on a week day for a flight and a bite. Sandwiches were EXCELLENT and made to order. Beer flight was exceptional. Highly recommend the Coffee Blonde and their Holiday seasonals. Also a must, the Veterans Day IPA where the dollare of every pint is donated to Soldiers Angels. Cute cocktail/mocktail menu available. Jealous of the "work from home" crowd that have taken advantage of the chill vibes of this accommodating venue. This is the place!

really liked the atmosphere of the place — it was cozy, cute, and had a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the experience was brought down by the service. The bartender was noticeably rude, which made things uncomfortable. We were also told we couldn’t eat our takeout inside, which was inconvenient, especially since the food options they offered were pretty disappointing. Overall, the setting was great, but the service and food situation need major improvement. Definitely would not say this a restaurant.
