So I want to say that I really have mixed feelings about this. The beer and burgers were excellent but the service was soooooo slow. Maybe it's because I went on a Friday night. My bad. But we waited 20-30 minutes to order and another hour for the food to arrive. That's a bit insane. Still I ordered beer to go and pledged I would never again go during a busy time. They can't handle it. Bartenders were great. It's not about the people. It's about serious hiccups in the operations. read more

I'm not a huge beer drinker so can't really comment too much there - I've had a couple in the past and they're ok. There is a winery right next door that shares the beautiful courtyard with Third Window so you have options (not my favorite wine, but it suffices). Food is really good. It's more of a pop-up so the menu will change daily. I've gotten the smash burger before and while delicious, it's very greasy and didn't agree with my stomach. However, the Nashville hot fried chicken pop-up that they had was awesome. Easily one of the best friend chicken sandwiches I've had in town. read more

Third Window Brewing - Friend Chicken Sandwich (mild seasoning) - Breweries Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Great beer mixed in with a great garden like setting. Such a hidden gem. There is also a winery next door which is a great concept for those that are undecided or don't drink beer. Something for everyone. They do offer food from what I could see large portions. read more

Third Window Brewing - Taster flight - Breweries Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

We came on a Tuesday afternoon and ordered a beer flight for $10. We had to order food with our order so we ordered a taco. Seating was spaced out. We enjoyed this place and people were respectful of wearing masks and keeping distance. read more

The avocado jalapeño smash burger was delicious. One of the best burgers I've had. We also ordered fries and their simple salads. The salad was so fresh and tasty. read more

Definitely one of my favorite breweries in SB! They have a large selection of beers on tap, but personally I love their kombucha beer. The vibes are high with the tvs playing sports and the large array of tables around suitable for large parties. You can even bring your furry friends. The smash burgers are fire and the fries are nice and fresh as well! If you go on the weekends be aware it might take a bit to get your food but the wait is well worth it! read more

Where to start with this place. There are few places in this world where your sense of wonderment and adventure is instantly invoked. This place is exactly that and more. Located a few blocks away from State Street, this taproom offers a fine variety of craft beers. With walls finely decorated with local art available for purchase. With board games and free mini pretzels bountiful. This is an amazing locale to visit for a drink... or two...or three. A flight is highly recommended my friends. read more

amazing food from this little fresh brewery. Known for the best Smashburger... and now smoked chicken, and other deliciousness! come on! Thanks Third Window... best part of my day! Sorry we ate too fast to get a photo. Bext time! read more

Servers/ workers are all very nice and accommodating! Food is always amazing no matter what we get. Vibe is always great too. Highly recommend :) read more

Great place to get dinner and beers! Awesome beer garden vibe and the food is really good weather it's smash burgers or a pop-up this place is epic read more

Let's start out my saying that this is my boyfriends new favorite brewery. We visited Third Window Brewing for the first time about three weeks ago and ever since he keeps asking me if we can go back. Of course I say yes because I love it there too. And what's not to love at this fine brewery?! The vibe is chill, the employees are nice, the beer is great and the food smells amazing. Personally I have yet to try the food menu at Third Window however, I have no doubt I will be trying it out soon. The first time we visited third window we each ordered a flight, which I highly recommend. This way we each were able to taste about ten of their brews. Oh and this flight did not disappoint. I enjoyed almost all of the beers I chose but I do have a favorite. The Merci Pierre is so so good! I get at least one every time we go. I also recommend the Six Haze Seven Nights. I'm not usually a hazy girl but this one was too good to ignore! All in all Third Window is a pretty cool place to hang out, grab a bite and a brew. We will definitely be back... probably this weekend. Oh yeah and they make their own bread! read more

First time here and holy cow this spot is fire. Best smash burger Iv had. Super friendly staff. Clean fun environment.

Third Window is a cool spot. They serve delicious beers, have a mellow vibe, and the service is great. We've been here on the weekend a couple times and they serve delicious Smashburgers as well. Prices are reasonable. They are located in "The Mill", which also has a wine spot and restaurant. Great family spot for some beer drinking. Check it out. read more

I love the outdoor space at this brewery. We stop here once in a while just to sit in that great outdoor space and enjoy Santa Barbara sunshine. I have not been the biggest fan of their beer however. I was so happy that we stopped here again this week, they have greatly improved their beer list. They have now added a couple IPAs which are my go to for beer and I really enjoyed them. Third window is connected with a small kitchen area that will serve a limited menu of food. I have been here before when they have had an outstanding soft pretzel but right now they are not making those. I do wish they would bring them back along with this great IPA it is a win-win. But do come by and visit and enjoy the great open air feeling of the area and the great outdoor space to sit. read more

The burger was good, but because it's a brewery we came for the beer. The beer was not great. We had 3 beers and all of them were flat. One of them tasted like the glass was cleaned with a mildewy rag. This place has been on our list of breweries to try, and we were very disappointed. We won't be back. read more

Best craft brewery in Santa Barbara county. The Dark Schwarzbier is exceptional. The Festbier is uniquely delicious. No Bavarian lager compares. read more

Best smash burger ever! Had original/regular one. My boyfriend loved their beer. Easy street parking on holiday weekend. They had shakes there but didn't try due to dairy allergy and their beer was the best. Loved the patio and ambiance there. Lots of space and people. read more

Came here on Saturday a few minutes after opening and already a line of 20 people! That's gotta be a good sign. I ordered a flight and a pour of the pale ale. This was a pleasant surprise as there were many different styles of beer. Reds, blonde, dubbel, tripel, pale, stouts, etc. I enjoyed most of my beer and I will definitely be back. -1 Star for the lack of glassware for sale. I really wanted one :( And also no cheese plate available. read more

Very solid smashed hamburger: perfect minimalist seasoning replaced with fresh quality ingredients. Live music potential is huge but often times is a very family friendly environment not good to openly do blow at while simultaneously bringing a literary level of comedy due to the fact that the majority of the staff seems to be operating on some level of animal tranquilizers at any given time. read more

Great burgers and I love that it is dog friendly. However, when paying over $100 for burgers and beer the tables should be cleaned at all times. read more

Stopped off at Third Window Brewing before we saw a comedy show since we had about an hour to burn. Had the Belgium blonde and a burger Both were very good! Everyone was friendly and outgoing. The food menu wasn't big unless I missed another page. The burger tasted home made just like my dad made them!!!! Unfortunately they sold out of the Pilsner Light. It must be good so I will definitely have to try that next time we are in Santa Barbara. The cool thing about TWB is that there was the Mill right next to it for all you wine drinkers. I definitely recommend TWB for all you beer drinkers! read more

My wife and I enjoy this place a lot. They took our food allergy seriously and the quality of the food is excellent! Highly recommend!!

Excellent assortment of standard and unique/rotating brews. Premium product, relaxed indoor/outdoor environment and ambience, and a truly quality brewery for the discerning (or oblivious) drinker -- You will enjoy yourself. read more

Who doesn't like smash burgers? This place gets it right every single freakin time. I think smash burgers are from Thursday to Sundays which are just to die for. I'm not much of a drinker so I can't comment on that. Fries are also always amazing and you get two sauces of your choice and yes, ketchup counts as an option so choose wisely. It's definitely a laid back brewery vibe when you're there, super cute and relaxing. Service was to the point and easy. read more

What a fantastic spot for craft beers and tasty bites. The layout is so chill and the eclectic SB crowd certainly add to the experience. It's just a bit off the hustle and bustle of State Street but a location not to be missed. The staff was beyond helpful and friendly. Extremely patient in taking the time to be sure the beverage selected was a solid match to consumer preference. The potato gruyere pizza with a hint of rosemary on a sour dough crust from the dood fired oven was a complete hit in every way. If I lived in the area I would love to have that pie on the daily. The place is completely dog friendly and was full of friendly dogs. Not to canine owners ...just because you can does not mean you should. Some four legged friends are best left at home to maintain the peace for those enjoying beers and bites. Okay enough on the canines. I actually love dogs and if you look at the pictures with this review you'll see the friend I made while visiting. This is abdominal the short list for my next stop in SB. Give it a try if your in the area. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I did. Cheers! read more

Walked over to Third Window from our hotel off of State Street to check out what they had to offer. We ordered a flight of beers and all were very tasty but we were really taken with the Sham Wow West Coast Hazy IPA which was perfect for the warm afternoon. Our next round I went with the Oatey McOatface Oatmeal Strout and my wife had the Bohemian Style Pilsner. Again, both really good beers. The brewery shares its courtyard and outdoor seating with a winery and we were able to watch the winery pour grapes into a vat as we drank our beer. The staff was not overly friendly but were able to provide a basic service. Next time we are in Santa Barbara, we will be stopping back into Third Window to have some more good beer. read more

My boyfriend and I had hiked all morning, and what a better way to cool down after than with some beer!? We decided to try this place out and we almost instantly loved it. The atmosphere was very chill, and although we only got drinks the food smelled amazing. The server was super helpful with helping us select our flight. The best part is the place is so affordable! We've been to other breweries and they've been more costly, so this was amazing! We are definitely coming back for their pretzels and smashburgers too! read more

The smash burger was amazing as were the wings. The beer was also very tasty. We even took some to go. My husband and I frequent breweries looking for the perfect combo of great beer and food. Third Window has both! Definitely worth checking out. read more

Excellent beer with really good service. At many craft brew places the food can be subpar but that was definitely not the case at third window. The smash burger I had was quite flavorful and I'm not much of a smash burger person. The open set is shared with multiple businesses which creates a lively and interesting ambiance. read more

This place rocks! Best burger I've had in forever. Plus, the beer is out of this world!!! I had the Imperial IPA Hazy Double and a sample of the Lightning of Dioscorus.... Amazing! All I can say is that if you visit Santa Barbara and you don't come past here... well, you really missed out. Great staff and an ambience so comfortable that you feel like you're in your own living room. read more

The beer selection was underwhelming. We ordered a couple of drinks but the taste was bland. A little disappointing considering we mainly came for the brews. That aside, Service was quick and the vibe was chill. The true star of our visit was the food, specifically the avocado jalapeño smash burger. Delicious! read more

Highly recommend if you're visiting the area like I was recently. Great staff. Friendly locals and comfortable atmosphere. Waygu burger was delicious and their beer the perfect compliment. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in town. Have already told a few coworkers to visit. read more

Their chicken wings are like crack. The smash burgers...amazing. Very cool atmosphere and lots of seating area. Great drink selection- beer, wine, ciders, NA options. 100% recommend!! read more

Nice place with a host of awesome seating options! Whether it be within their large interior, long L-shaped bar, front pergola or huge shared back patio, there are a variety of places to sit and enjoy Santa Barbara's climate with a glass of beer. I commend this place for following Covid protocol and continuing to operate outdoors-only. The adjacent eatery offers a unique variety of food options and the menu rotates often so there is always something new to be found. As other reviewers have noted, parking for The Mill is at a real premium. There are typically a number of street spots on both Haley and Laguna. I've never had an issue. I love the unique variety of beers offered here. Something for all palettes. The Oatey McOatface is a favorite of mine, but I'd recommend trying out one of their flights. There is a complimentary pretzel and mustard station as well, and they pair excellently with the beer. I look forward to coming here again soon. read more

Don't be afraid of the PB and J burger, I always split one with a friend after my first burger and it is magical

Great Ambiance, Service, food. My Wife found this place online was recommended by FESS PARKER WINERY FROM LOS OLIVOS and we give it a 5 START RATING!!! When we travel we like to try different places to eat. This was TOP NOTCH in Santa Barbara, we will be coming back again read more

This place had a lovely chill vibe and a nice selection of ciders. Unfortunately they got my hopes up when the menu had my favorite Mission Trail Cider Co's offerings and it turned out they ran out (Lawyers, Plums, and Money anyone?), but I got to sample all of Apiary Ciderworks on the menu before settling on the mead. Overall a jovial crowd and a fine rotating selection makes for a great Saturday evening barhop stop! read more
