There’s also a sister cafe upstairs that serves housemade Greek food. Playing host to live music, book club gatherings, and Magic Mondays (where, every so often, the PNW’s finest magicians get together to perform in the spirit of the London theater cabarets), the Pub at Third Place serves up choice dishes including mezze plates, eggplant sandwiches with grilled halloumi, and kopanisti dips made from roasted red peppers and feta.
