What is a third space?
Your first space is home. Your second is work. A third space is where you gather — somewhere local, welcoming, and free of the pressures of either.
Our Third Space is Veneta’s bookstore and public house: a room for reading, drinks, conversation, and community. Come in, put the phone away for a while, and stay as long as you like.

From the shelves
Our Third Space is a bookstore as much as a public house — a place to browse, borrow a quiet corner, and leave with something worth reading.
Public house
Alongside the shelves, a public house for drinks and conversation — the kind of room where lingering is the point.

A welcome from the room
Our Third Space is tended by Jordan Mackay — a bookstore and public house shaped around the idea of a true third space for Veneta.
Come for the shelves and the bar; stay for an old-fashioned gathering place where you can read, share a drink, play a game, or start a conversation with someone new.
