By far the best sandwiches and the nicest people in town. I am sorry to see this authentic establishment go. Good luck on your next adventure.
She was trying to get in to hang Mike Pence or Nancy Pelosi or both. The insurrectionists were lucky there were no machine guns (or at least snipers) on the roof of our capitol.
It was electrical in the wall where walk in frig was. It did NOT burn down
So sad. All the best. But where will I get my gyro?
Stearns Wharf Bait & Tackle
Sorry to see you go but know that you made this town a better place. Not only good food, but also a great little market. Plus, very nice service from a considerate staff of people. An increasing rarity that Ive observed during my 70 years in Santa Barbara. You leave a hole not only in this town but in our hearts. Happy Trails, I think its probably good timing as the Funk Zone is loosing its charms along with its funk. Im sure that whatever you do next, you will continue to make life delicious.
Will miss them. They helped us get through covid: every Friday we would pick up gyros and go sit in the car and have lunch overlooking the ocean from the wharf. All the best in your next phase.
Was that a rebuttal? You are saying its good a unarmed white woman died being shot in the face? She wasn’t throwing a maltov cocktail at a police station during a BLM march- wrong protest
Wow bummer! Always went in for the turkey and Swiss when I was in the area. Best sandwich ever and awesome stuff for sale. I may go in and see what's left. In a sea of jersey Mike's and subway, you were far above the pack. Good luck in your future endeavors or better yet open a sandwich place in carpinteria. We REALLY need one. Paaleeese!!
In Montecito's master plan, sidewalks are prohibited. It matters not what Santa Barbara does. We are not in the city. The Bucket Brigade is sensitively installing "paths". They are decomposed granite, and are very safe. So children can safely walk to school. Al the parents, and the head of School have supported this effort! . Happy New Year everyone!
No it isn't sad that the only person who died was unarmed. She attacked the capitol, and broke through a window. And she wasn't the only person who died. Her act was disgusting and unlawful and depraved. The Capitol police were overwhelmed and in danger protecting our elected Senators and Representatives. there is no justification for her actions... she suffered the consequences of an unlawful act. The Capitol police were defending our Capitol police died also.
Not sure who said what, but the City of Santa Barbara very much creates walking paths all over the city. If someone said something frmo the City, which I cannot tell, who said what, they probably meant they don't want this type of walking path. It only takes two additional minutes of reading to understand these DG paths get washed away every winter and require money and upkeep every few months.
Are we really going to let that level of pontification slide without a little bit of signature Erik Torkells snark?
Don’t hold your breath
Addition to my goodbye: my brother from Ventura on his SB visits always looked forward to a tasty roast beef sandwich on his way back home.
life will not be the same without the best gyro sandwich and the thin sliced bresla. Goodbye Metropolis I will miss another Santa Barbara business which made it a pleasure to live here!
Maybe Karen Jones will be the first to use the "but I led a rousing Pledge of Allegiance before committing the crime" defense.
Thank you Metropulos, for your lovely, quirky, welcoming selection of everything all these years (and the sandwiches) You will be very missed!
Selfishly very sad about Metropulos but thrilled for the owners to enjoy retirement . I know what we’re having for lunch tomorrow!
it's been for sale for sometime Sam
Are they interested in selling the business? What is rent / month?
You failed to mention the one act Karen Jones has been written about most- she led a rousing PLEDGE OF ALLIEGIENCE on the front steps - such a horrific act....so sad that the only person who died that day was shot by an officer in the face and was unarmed!
They had the best sandwiches in town!! My husband and I are heartbroken at this news. I only hope something at least half as good takes it’s place but impossible to replace.
They will be missed. When they opened, the “funk zone” was barely there. One of the first businesses to persevere and THRIVE! Hard working people-happy retirement????????????????
Did you know today is the last day for Metropolis deli in the funk zone ????
