Third Place by Half Full Brewery

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!

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.

Been going here for a few years now. Don’t have any complaints. Employees always nice, beer is good and the atmosphere is one of the best for the breweries around

I'm an out of towner that was in the area for business and was looking for a good breakfast spot by the Amtrak station that still did coffee and breakfast at noon. I entered the business at 12:22pm and was almost immediately met with a line of around 3-4 people ahead of me. After waiting for 5 minutes, I think the line only moved up one person. I didn't get to place my order until 12:34pm. Upon watching the staff, I realized it's because the individual working the register was also the same person making everyone's drink orders as they ordered them. So if someone ordered 2-3 drinks, then the next person in line had to wait for them to finish making them before their order can be taken. There was another individual working the beer counter, and I wonder if they could have been asked to make some of the drinks to hurry the line forward. Regardless, I had ordered an espresso drink and a breakfast sandwich. Coffee was delicious, sandwich was provided at 12:41. So it took 19 minutes from the minute I walked in from the moment I had everything I ordered. I had to take my order to go because the added wait time to even place my order left me with no time to sit and enjoy my food without risk of missing my train (train station is a 10 minute walk and at this point my train was scheduled to depart in 20 minutes). While I love the ambience and get that this is definitely one of those local spots where everyone knows your name, I think waiting 20 minutes to get a coffee and sandwich is not ok, and that there should be a better service method than having the same person who runs the register to also make all the drinks.

I tried the beer flight! they have a good collection of beers ❤️

Great beer, mediocre food (everything spicy by default), understaffed service. Do not bring kids here.

They need help

Great place to spend an evening with friends or family. Quite a few beers on tap. Parking is an issue though.
There is indoor and outdoor seating as well.

I love the vibe here. They get live bands, and karaoke. Outside they have games during the nice weathers. It's fun here.

Bingo has been fun!

I stopped by Third Place by Half Full Brewery at 575 Pacific St in Stamford and it’s easily my new favorite hangout… coffee shop by day, vibrant taproom by night. Grabbed a drip and worked in one of their cozy pods mid‑morning, then returned for a flight of their award-winning drafts and a snack from the food truck out back. The space feels modern but warm, with exposed brick, high ceilings, and plenty of good vibes. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, guiding me through the beer selection and even chatting about upcoming live‑music evenings. The transition from coworking to brewery felt seamless and I stayed for hours. A true “third place” and an absolute must-visit in Stamford.
