Our Story
The Third Wheel wasn't conceived in a boardroom. It was born from a simple observation: the best moments in DeKalb happen between schedules — between the morning rush and the evening unwind, between the first sip and the last laugh.
We built a space where that in-between becomes the main event. Expertly pulled espresso shots sit alongside hand-stirred old fashioneds on the same marble bar. The same attention to detail goes into a cortado as it does into a negroni — because craft is craft, regardless of the hour.
Whether you're grabbing a quick pour-over before class, settling in for a working lunch, or raising a glass with friends after dark — you'll find your people here. That's the third wheel philosophy: nobody rides alone.
