Peanut butter brilliance
Ophelia M.

Third Space Brewing occasionally hosts 'pints with a purpose' evenings where you can go, enjoy a pint, and know a portion of the proceeds is helping out a local nonprofit. We attended such an evening where the proceeds from our pints were supporting Islands of Brilliance, a local nonprofit offering creative programs for autistic and other neurodivergent students. Third Space was featuring their peanut butter brilliance, which is an American style porter, for the evening. My beer buddy and I both ordered their peanut butter brilliance and enjoyed it in their tap room/brewery. There's plenty of seating so even on a bustling Friday evening we were able to get our beers right away and find a spot to enjoy them. Love this spot and while it's a little more magical in the summer months when you can enjoy the outdoors, it's a great oasis in the colder months as well. Get to it!

Event space

This is not a bad space for beer fans I'm sure, but I was here for a private party in their back room area and cannot review the bar. While the space opens up wide, it is not air conditioned and at the height of summer it is hotter than Hades inside. They have fans, but they just push the hot air around. While I was there they had a seafood food truck parked outside, but it was hard to imagine a worse choice for a day where raw seafood would sizzle as soon as it left the window. I can't comment on service, since I didn't interact with any staff. I'm sure in more temperate weather this is a fun hangout, but man - not in summer.

Hanging in the tap room

Came here after a Marquette victory! Great location, good variety of beers on tap. Need more comfortable stools if you want people to hang out longer....

Lavender lemonade ale of sorts

This was my first time making it out to Third Spacing Brewing. First thing to know is parking is extremely limited and you'll probably find yourself parking on the street. I wish they had a bigger lot because this place is pretty large if you are sitting outside. I came on a Thursday night at 5 and they had a live band at 7. I got a lavender lemonade ale but I couldn't taste the lavender at all. To me it was just okay as beer goes. They had board games you could play with friends. They didn't really have food but they had a vendor that had a tent outside selling hamburgers and things. Overall it's got a really good patio and I would probably come again on a sunny day and so I can try a different beer.

Oktoberfest & citrus ipa

Good service and the atmosphere is laid back. If you don't know what to get the bartenders will let you try a few samples. They want you to have what you like. They have a lot to choose from. The outdoor area is great when the weather permits. Nice spot down on St. Paul in Milwaukee

On a recent brewery crawl in Milwaukee, we stopped into Third Space to have a beer and play a game! A private lot outside makes parking pretty easy! The space itself has plenty of seating for various size groups! We grabbed a table near the loading dock, which was away from the louder noises happening around the brewery! Service was excellent! We wanted to play Yahtzee, and there were no score sheets left so the bartender went out of his way to print us out new ones. Top notch! The beer was lovely! Lots to choose from but I particularly liked the Smoked Lager! The rest of the group enjoyed their IPAs, as well! Some snacks (pretzels, popcorn) are available for purchase but no food on the premises.

Tl dr: amazing beer, amazing space and kid and dog friendly! What's a set of parents to do when they have twin soon to be toddlers that (in the most loving way) keep them captive at home by 7ish when they go to bed???? Get your butts as a family to an amazing brewery of course. Enter Third Space - open during the afternoon with great beer, a wide open outdoor space for bags or other fun activities and a relaxed atmosphere. People seem to love to bring their dogs and children, so there's always activity and fun people/pup watching. My husband's favorite is Unite the Clans and I've always loved their Java Blanca but it's only available certain times of year. So, I'll normally get something random that sounds good to me, and it will be!!!! Staff is friendly and kind and the place is always kept clean and accessible. Lots of amazing ramps to keep things accessible for all folks. Will always make Third Space a part of our family's fun beer get-out-of-the-house-for-a-bit rotation. PS years ago I rented the space for my husband's 30th birthday. It was fantastic, the staff was wonderful to work with and it definitely helped with the space as it was a HUGE group of folks.

Great outdoor space to enjoy good drinks. I am not big on beer, but being in Milwaukee I obviously had to stop at a brewery. Third space is the first place my friend recommended and today was the perfect day to have a drink outside. The space gives industrial vibes being close to the railway and the bartenders were knowledgeable. Outside is dog friendly and that's always fun. Also there was a cool food truck parked outside! Having a taco truck on Cinco de Mayo was definitely the move. Overall 4/5 stars and I'd return again.

Bluegrass music
Amber L.

Third Space is an awesome brewery, I personally enjoy their selections and the space is unique. They've expanded their outdoor seating area. It's a family and kid friendly place. They have live music so check their website for shows! I do wish they had some food options BUT they are okay with you having food delivered and have food trucks during the summer! Plenty of parking in the lot or on the street if needed. You can also buy their beer cans to go or at many local stores.

Ice Bear fest
Samantha K.

Probably our favorite taproom in the city! We love Third Space beers, always a bunch of options on tap. Their Ice Bear Fest in January is one of the best Winter events in Milwaukee! So fun!

Third Space feeling good!
Chadrick J.

What a difference a couple years makes. Not only has Third Space upped the game but they set the bar at an entirely new level. I'm so glad I didn't "give up" on this place. Hoppy Place has been and will always be one of my favorites go to beers and Third Space keeps rolling out the hits with a solid assortment of stouts and IPAs. Then icing on the cake is the revamped outdoor space of the brewery and the amazing IPA Fest they put on with more Wisconsin breweries than you could shake a stick at. We came in VIP style and I'm sure glad we did since we got to go around and sample a good portion of the goods and sit in our own dedicated area that included 5 beers not on tap for anyone else. Third Space is beer heaven. Keep up the good work and keep making the digs as comfortable and chill as they come!

"You have your home, you have your work, but everyone needs a third space". This is the motto of my favorite Milwaukee based brewery! Located in the Menomonee River Valley, they have a revamped, expanded beer garden. That space includes an outdoor bar, lots of seating, a stage and space for yard games, seating and fire pits. During summer they have live music on Thursdays and the Triciclo Peruvian food truck on site (bonus: they do allow carry in food)! But the real show stopper here are the beers. They have a great selection that is sure to please everyone! If you are indecisive like me than go for the Happy Place (flagship brew), a really smooth, balanced hoppy pale ale. Another great option is Unite the Clans: A Scottish ale with slightly roasty and malty flavors. All the IPA's are wonderful, and they also have some fun, interesting seasonal brews. Another cool thing about this place: Every Friday @ 5:45 they do what is called The Brewmaster's Toast: He toasts the crowd, taps the keg and every beer from that keg is $1 until the keg blows. They also do Yoga classes and other events throughout the year. This is a solid spot to hang out year-round, but if its summer in Milwaukee you'd be hard-pressed to find a better spot to grab a beer (or 2), take in the rays and listen to some tunes than at this killer brewery.

Outdoor space, brews, and food!

After receiving a recommendation from our favorite Chicago brewery, we stopped by Third Space Brewery the last two times we've been in Milwaukee. We were not only pleased, but we were blown away! My spouse loves IPAs and he was thrilled at the hop-forward nature of many of the beers. His favorite of the IPA option was the Heavenly Haze. He loved how it was hop forward, while also being juicy and flavorful. He looks forward to continuing to try more varieties in future visits. I've tried a variety of different beers during our visits, but some of my favorites include the Ice Bear (Baltic porter) and Thaison (Thai spice saison). Both are creative and rich in flavors. But my favorite was the Frog Weiss, the raspberry fruited sour. The flavor was bright, crisp, and distinct without being overly sweet. I also look forward to trying many more in the future. The staff are great, health and safety rules are followed enabling employees and customers to both be safe, and space is wide open for spreading out, both inside and outside. Chic, new, and ever expanding, it is a great place to come with a group or for some one-on-one time! There is a food truck on site, but you can also bring food from outside. Win-win! We highly recommend Third Space and we look forward to many more visits in the future. It is definitely the best new brewery in the Milwaukee scene!

Ask the Community - Third Space Brewing

Is there parking nearby?

They have their own private lot with plenty of parking available every time I've been in :)

Are dogs allowed inside!?

Apparently if your dog can sit on your lap the dog is allowed, but they will kick out any big dogs that come inside. (What happen to us, they let another woman stay with her smaller dog).

Do they have a gluten free optoon?

We do not brew our own gluten-free beers but we always have a gluten free option from another local brewery on hand at our tap room.

Despite walking by this spot numerous…read moretimes on ways to Bucks games during winter, I didnt understand or appreciate its true potential until the playoffs started. The beer garden, located off 3rd street next to the loaded slate, features picnic tables in front of a huge 26 foot screen. a plexiglas roof up above let's you see the sky but keeps out the elements (I watched one of the first round games during a downpour and was just fine). You dont have to buy - so it's free but if you buy a drink at the actual "beer garden" stand, theres free popcorn with your purchase. Theres also various drink and food stands .. auntie Annie's has a pretzel truck and lots of people were bringing pizza from Brick 3 on 3rd st. Security (you'll see them in bright yellow vests) has done a good job letting everyone have a good time but taking care of problems (dont be8 standing on the picnic tables please.) I've only watched away games here but walking through the area to go into the forum for game 1 of the semi finals I could tell the energy would be crazy there even for home games. it's a great option if you dont have a ticket. It does truly feel like "Milwaukees living room" The tables are communal - you'll definitely make some new friends, and the energy is just off the charts. I love how all eyes are on the tv and everyone will start chanting "MVP" or "DE-FENCE" like were actually at the game. Bango, the dancers, the drum line and other members of the bucks crew usually make an appearance on a final side note....Over 15 years ago I lamented the tearing down of the old Park East freeway and my easy freeway access....it took over 15 years, but the promise and potential of this part of the city and downtown is finally starting to be fulfilled with the Deer District.

Everything on this platter was spot on, especially the giant pretzel! The hofbrau is a 9-inch chicken bratwurst with bacon schmear, sweet relish, and diced red onions. It's your standard German fare and worth a try.

I was completely sold when I found out they had a vegan version of the fish fry. It worked perfectly for our Thursday to Saturday trip to MKE. I reserved a table for 6pm. We were seated at a high top with a little "reserved" card so we felt important. Our server was so nice and friendly. She came over before we were even ready to order. It didn't take long for us to figure it out because there were a few obvious choices: CHEESE CURDS and what we came for, the fucking fish fry. I ordered the plant based one, GF the walleye. I was going to get one of their beers but the root beer old fashioned caught my attention immediately. Old fashioneds are typically too adult-tasting for me but I thought I might be able to handle it. It was. DELICIOUS. What a great twist on an old fashioned. There must have been a hole in the bottom of my glass because that shit was gone before I knew it. The cheese curds were, hands down, the best cheese curds I have ever had in my life and possibly one of the best things I have ever consumed period. Holy shit. Would it be inappropriate to have 2 orders? The plant based fish fry was also impressive considering that it wasn't fish. I loved it and I loved being able to participate in something like that. GF's fish fry was "really good". There was also a polka band which was fucking adorable. Supposedly they have done it every Friday for 25 years and that is just too precious. It seems like a must do while in Milwaukee.
