Third Place by Half Full

575 Pacific St, Stamford , CT 06902
(203) 580-2030

Signature Beer:  Bright Blonde Ale

Five-second Description: A fantastic recovered space that has been really modernized.  There are large young crowds here and it seems that it is always busy.  The beer is good, but not great in my opinion, but that is because their IPAs are not true New England style.  Plenty of parking and no outdoor space that I could find.  this is an extension of the Half Full brewery and they call it the Third Place since everyone needs a third place to socialize outside of their house and workplace.

Why you should go: To see the private booths designed as work spaces, they also have coffee.
