Steynberg Gallery

This place in wonderful. Really wonderful. If you are on the north end of town this is the place. Good, no great, coffee. The shop is a wonderful place to meet others and be surrounded by art. The art continues to be changed out every month of so, and the evening events, sometimes art openings, sometimes concerts have always been extremely enjoyable. I love to support this establishment.

Terrible service. Read on...  

Parked outside on a Thursday night. The Open sign was turned on and at least three other signs were on and it looked very inviting.  

So we walked inside. The place had 30 or move people, but when we walked up to the corner we were told they were closed. We must have looked startled since there were a ton of people. We asked, "What about everyone here?"  

"Well, we are only open for their event"  

HUH? Then why is your Open sign turned on? We asked if we should turn the open sign off and were rudely told "No, we are open for them."  

What's the point of being open for a private event, yet still having your open signs up and then when people walk in you are rude to them?

this place used to be THE spot to hang out, but the management and service has decreased immensely. not entirely peter's fault, slo does have ridiculous ordinance laws about music venues.. miss the old ambiance and shows this place used to be full of
