Funk Zone Studios - Santa Barbara

Simply the best hidden gem in my favorite city, Santa Barbara. Yes, they could use a larger wine selection but overall for a good party its great to come here. Especially with a few friends. great times!

The Funk Zone, often referred to by locals as the 'drunk zone ', is home to exactly one art gallery Silo. Please check it out. The Santa Barbara Art District is located in the few blocks around the Santa Barbara Art Museum at State and Anapamu Streets.

Covid was tough in businesses soo glad this is are looking up. Thst most survived thank you.

The Funk Zone is where I usually go when I visit SB. This little area is very hip and artsy with tons of eateries, shopping but most importantly lots of wineries and breweries. I never had an issue parking and I could spend the entire day here just drowning myself in booze.

It 's been obviously been years and years since I 've been to Santa Barbara because when I was here last, there were only a few restaurants and a couple of hotels on this end of State Street, not enough for the local businesses to team and label themselves The Funk Zone . No complaints here. This super trendy area is reminiscent of LA 's Arts District with beautiful murals, fantastic new restaurants with instagrammable walls and foods and plenty of wine bars to choose from. They even have more hotels and a couple of museums now. And even an art installation right. there on State Street! Some of the best new restaurants in town can even be found here. If you 're mobile, the Funk Zone is very walkable from a lot of points of interest in town like the beach, the wharf, the Public Market and the Presidio. Parking might not be the best, but like I mentioned before, it 's within walking distance of a lot of places you 'd be walking to/from anyway.
