@ carp local "We don't want or need?" Speak for yourself. You sound like the typical "LA go home" crowd. That BS is played out. Grow up.
Amen!
Typical name calling from someone that just got schooled...
Gentrification? Carp has basic condos selling for $1m. The gentrification already happened and continuing to whine about a beach city in California being gentrified is absurd. God forbid a well established Santa Barbara restaurant and brewery open a second location 15 miles away. Maybe if it was another taco shop or pizza place in Carp you would approve?
I don't agree with any of you!
If my choice is “gentrify” vs vacant rotting building, I’ll choose the former. Personally, I see myself enjoying all 3 burger joints (Dang, Spot, 3rd) just depends on the day/mood
It's a new restaurant coming to carpinteria. It's not launching a rocket. Quit over analyzing and just go out and enjoy your day, or evening and quit worrying about things. If you go there and have a good time and meal, home run. If you have a bad meal and a lousy time, don't go back. But really debating about things you have no control over is time you will never get back. It's just a burger and a beer !
I’m looking forward to the Grand Opening.
It will be worth the trip up from Oxnard. This could be our “go to “ eatery since The Palms went dark.
Third window is funded by the Fess Parker trust fund. 1% For the Planet is a globally recognized certification that donates profits to non-profits fighting predominately climate change. Google it. Next question.

Okay, boomer.
I think they'll be a good addition, either one would be. I hope Third Window can keep up with beer production. While I don't go there as much as I used to when they regularly were out of 2-4 beers, it still seems like they are out of even staple beers on occasion. Best wishes to them.
Totally disagree. Third window has better beer and great burgers. 1% for the planet is a merchandizing gimmick. Quit shilling for Topa.
The “another cookie-cutter gentrified spot that carp doesn’t want or need” title is only applicable to third window occupying the spot? But when Topa wanted it, it was going to be a cool hip 6th (cookie cutter) location. I doubt you would be commenting and liking negative things on instagram and siteline if Topa secured the spot. In reality, most of Topa’s locations inhabit spaces that have all experienced major gentrification changes. Hanging out off the Ave for a beer? Spending the day in the funk zone? The craft beer movement in and of itself is one big gentrification movement that both Topa and Third have found great success with!
Happy there so many other Topa locations where people can support community based model and their 1% pledge. Community over competition, right? Welp, see you in line for a burger! ???????? ???? ♥️
Good lord. The value in this spectacular historic home is the fact that it is nearly intact as the original famous architect first imagined in his office.
This house is for someone that appreciates that era and will very carefully bring it into this century use.
I agree with Hayley 100% we don’t want that or need it in carpinteria. Topa topa would have been a great choice.

Huge bummer. Was supposed to be a topa topa outpost and they were going to bring in their 1% for the planet/community-first model but third window came swooped in at the last hour. Plus developers were super shady about it. Was so looking forward to this community-first concept but now it’s looking like another cookie-cutter gentrified spot that carp doesn’t want or need
So excited. Will bring lots of folks downtown when other downtowns are struggling and closing down
Yummy!! The Smash Burgers at Third Window Brewing are the best!! Also excited Bettina & Corazón Cocina opening in Carpinteria too!!
smells like gentrification
Could not agree more. The HLC is increasingly of the mind that old = historic. My favorite is the median on Upper State that they recently designated a historic resource. It's literally a median with a ground cover and palms. Two plantings. To hear them tell it, it's the Lotusland of medians, a precious treasure that must be protected. It' a median. Yes, it's been there for a long time, but so has the street. I roll my eyes every time I drive past.
Indeed I did. Thanks.
I think you meant Crush Bar at 1129A State St
I agree. The spirit is to keep things looking beautiful but sometimes, when it comes to safety, function has to win.
