    This revamped gem is a great place to taste some wine, eat some charcuterie, and chat with good people. I'm hoping it's around for a long time. It's a perfect little place for date night. Josi was also fantastic to chat with. Thanks for the great service!

    I have been here twice in the last few weeks. Everything is amazing, from Josie the server, Chef Bradley, drinks and the food! Such a cute spot. If you haven't been here, you are definitely missing out!

    Food was delicious! Quality ingredients, great wine, and amazing staff. Thank you Chef Bradley for a wonderful evening!

    What a lovely dining experience! We stopped by SLO for lunch to break up our drive, had no plan for where we were going to eat but had some ideas. Happened to walk by Park 1039 so we looked at the menu and everything caught my. Continued to walk around but was drawn back by how nice their Parklet looked and the unique menu. The food was wonderful. We had the winter squash soup, which was deconstructed and poured in front of you. It included dried blueberries, herb oil, and a Pepita cream in the bowl with a soup made of 3 different kinds of squash. I ordered the farm salad which had a very unique blend of veggies and burrata. A combination of items I would never think to include in a salad, but of so delicious and delightful! The basque cheesecake was also delicious. They only make one a day so be sure you order it before it runs out. Service was a 10/10 both of our servers were absolutely delightful! They were kind, knowledgeable of the menu, and when one didn't know the answer to a question she told us she didn't know and went to ask instead of making something up. The owner was also very friendly and involved. He came by to open our umbrella to help trap in the heat - it was a very cold day, and checked in with other guests to ensure everyone was okay. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice local menu in the SLO area. The menu isn't large, but what they do have is well throughout and quite flavorful.

    Kind of reminds me of Park Avenue since I grew up in NYC & miss the old days of Old World goodies there.

    "I march on a stomach 70% full of gourmet eats." to paraphase Napoleon & respect Confucius. In these times of trouble, what better thing to do than to partake of historically epicurean eats, and enjoy nature? Park 1039 blends both classic European traditions with our novel California traditions, as we all seek solace from a chaos that reminds one of past historic times of turmoil. Napoleon not only helped bring us canned/preserved food, an early submarine, but also a rather unique saber rattling way to open Champagne...which is on display at the "Park". Serendipity favors the bold, the hungry, the thirsty, the wise, and those that go to The "Park", or hike in Parks. The bold are open to novel gastronomic delights like acorn fortified Iberico Jamon from Spain. The hungry pair Jamon with fine locally made French Style Whole Grain Bread, maybe slathered with some aromatic truffle butter, along with a fine Manchego Cheese. The hungry then top off the meal with some housemade Basque style Cheesecake, fortified with rich Crème fraiche. The thirsty slowly imbibe some fine local Kumquat Apple Cider, lovingly fermented by "Two Broads Cider", as one savors the bouquet of aromas, in a fine tulip shaped chilled glass. The pour is done a few inches above the glass to release the bouquet. The wise respects "Chīfàn qī fēn bo, sān fēn jī", moderation, & picnics. For some odd reason, after a gourmet European/California style light meal of delights, it provides great fuel for a long march, or in my case a modest hike up a local Morro or steep hill, that happened to fall on a "Worm Super Moon" Friday. As far as the "Park" is concerned, various gourmands, as well as, the self-proclaimed "Prince of SLO-dippo" [AKA me], can find friendly sanctuary in this quaint Oasis of taste. Everyone that I meet here was conversant in "Epicurean Speak" and mutual appreciation and respect for the finer things in life was amply evident. The knowledge of the finer things was beyond superficial and was a joy to share. Jenna, the wine director & manager, was an absolute delight to trade gourmet tales with, as were the others here. Thanks in part to our troubles, the city of SLO-dippo allowed "Park" to build a classy street Parklet, filled with tasteful & functional décor, Olive Trees & heaters. Between, stellar service, food, & friendliness, one could wax nostalgic for analogous outdoor cafés in far away towns, like I had in Slovakia, Spain, or even Indonesia. As we enjoyed the Park outside of the Park, it was all so easy to forget that one was not only in SLO-dippo, but in the prosaic world of worry. We also had the pleasure of meeting another epicurean couple & talked "shop". This streamlined shop is full of high grade goodies. Some of course on the pricier end, but most on par with the SLO-dippo area. They beat Whole Paycheck Market's service by light years. Beyond the Caviar, the Champagne, and the Champagne Saber, there were relatively affordable options for an impromptu picnic. A brief tour of the offerings of the store revealed an enthusiastic embrace & respect for the finer things in life, both local & foreign. It ranged from house-made Pickled Buddha's Hand citrus from Amber of L&C Smith Farms, to rare items [e.g. Iberico Jamon]. I was especially delighted to see that they had a wonderful curated assortment of locally crafted ciders. They ranged from a saccharine "Ice Wine" like beverage to drier versions masterfully fermented with various apples plus fruits & spices. Diehard Oenophiles will also be pleased. While I barely touched upon the plethora here, it seemed that each bottle elicited a cogent discourse on not only the taste, but background knowledge on the local makers of ambrosia. As of now, Jenna & Park are both gradually ramping up services. While I am unlikely to Sabrage ("saber") a bottle of Champagne while riding on a horse, it is certain that I will find the slightest reason to stop in here to partake. In these troubling unsure times of near chaos, this rational, very civilized almost Renaissance-like Oasis of fine taste, is a siren call for gastronomes who long for solace & succor. Needless to say, this bon vivant, hearty recommends this "Oasis", & you needn't waste time finding it via Serendipity. ~~~~ Notes: Basque Cheesecake : ..."deeply caramelized cousin of American cheesecake, inspired by the famous "tarta de queso" in Spain" Iberico Jamon "...Acorn-fed jamon Iberico is intensely sweet. It's floral, earthy, and nutty like good Parmesan, with fat so soft it melts right in your mouth" Sabrage: : ..." The technique became popular in France when the army of Napoleon visited many of the aristocratic domains...Napoleon, who was known to have said, "Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat one needs it".

    Cheese board
    Phia S.

    I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Park 1039 on a sunny afternoon. We spent the day hiking and wanted some small bites with a glass of wine before dinner. We never expected Park 1039 to be such a treat! We decided to sit outside on the patio because of the nice weather. Their designer did a spectacular job of making the seating comfortable and creating a cozy atmosphere despite being on busy street in downtown. The ambiance of the patio was phenomenal. We were hosted by Megan. She was a real gem! She has vast wine knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions. She is training to be a winemaker herself, so she knows what she is talking about. Her hospitality skills really enhanced the experience. The wine by the bottle list is longer than any list I have seen in downtown SLO. They really have everything. My friend was practically giddy with the numerous wine options from different countries. They have the traditional wines, the peculiar wines, and everything in between. We landed a French white that was perfect with the weather! We also ordered the cheeseboard as a little snack. The cheese was excellent! They only used sheep or goat milk cheese which is always appreciated. It was a really good pairing with the wine! The only comment I will say, is that it is not a lot of cheese or bites for being $25. Between the two of us, it was barely enough. With that pricing, we thought the cheese board would be a little more stacked. We also ordered the olives and they did not disappoint! Unlike the cheese board, they gave us more than enough olives! Overall, I really enjoyed the experience! The service was wonderful, the wine list was impressive, and the the ambiance was great. I will be coming back!

    How do I even begin. Park 1039 is truly a treat here in SLO. Take a break from your usual SLO haunts and come here to be wowed. We will be coming back often to try their rotating locally sourced menu!! The wine offerings? Off the charts. We arrived for a late dinner and were seated promptly. The tables are close enough to hear your neighbor, but we made a couple friends! We ordered bread for the table, home marinated olives (my absolute favorite) the hamachi and the pork tenderloin. Each were a delight. Seriously, RUN here. Our server Olivia made our experience engaging and wonderful. She was so knowledgeable. You can tell she takes pride in the magic happening at Park. That's something special! I will say the only downside was that the hamachi was served in a bowl which made it a tad difficult to see the full beauty at night and take well balanced bites with the crema + microgreens. See you many many more times Park 1039. We're so happy you're here

    Caviar Fries
    Kiana N.

    Park 1039 is a great addition to downtown SLO! I'd stopped by several times to check out their merchandise selection of wines, cheeses, etc. but finally got to dine in with them this past weekend. My boyfriend and I stopped by around 6:00 pm to grab a glass of wine before meeting others for dinner somewhere else. They had a great selection of wines by the glass and our server let us try a few before deciding what we wanted. We weren't planning on getting food but were intrigued by their menu. Our sever let us know that all ingredients are sourced from the SLO Farmers Market every Thursday and as such, the menu changes weekly. I love the idea of a "farmers market" to table menu. We tried the caviar fries which were essentially 3 fried potato sticks and a runny egg, topped with caviar. It was a delicious snack and only $12!! Their outdoor seating area is one of the best in downtown SLO. They created a great ambiance with comfortable seating, olive trees, and when we went there was even live music. As it's located on a side street, it's also not as busy as Marsh/Higuera so it was a little quieter. I will definitely come back next time I'm in town to try more of their wines and menu items.

    It looked busy when we came here Saturday around 6pm to buy cheeses. A lot of people dining indoor and outdoor. There were a lot of unique cheeses to choose from inside the wine bar. The cheese lady helped us choose some cheeses to try. I also got a garlic black pepper salami and spiced Italian olives. The olives were very salty. Definitely not a cheap place to buy but nice to try once in a while. Cheeses we loved were the midnight moon, Alp Blossom, and Moliterno al tartufo. We were given a nice tote bag too. Parking is garage or street parking

    I bought a new beautiful classy wine decanter while I was there the other day:)
    Kat V.

    This is by far one of the most unique wine bars in San Luis Obispo County. It has such a European energy. They have cheeses from all over the world. Their wine selection is worldwide. The staff are welcoming, so knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. Jenna the waitress there is such a sweetheart!! The entire staff is wonderful. They have very interesting unique merchandise inside their store as well. Everything from wine decanter's, vintage cork opener's, cheese boards, and fancy cheese knives. The Decour is beautiful. You really feel transported into Europe. And let's not forget the menu. They always have daily specials that change frequently. I can't say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and go today. It will be your new favorite spot

    Cheese plate, grilled cheese with mustard (will now add a spicy mustard to every grilled cheese I make henceforth). SO good.
    Sara E.

    What a fantastic addition to downtown SLO!! Friendly, warm service made us feel at home immediately. Amazing outdoor seating nooks with umbrellas for customized shade felt great! (They also had a limited indoor seating arrangement) Couple that with the awesome drinks and food selection will keep this in the rotation each time we visit SLO! Two of us shared a grilled cheese (so good) and a charcuterie board. Plus sipping vermouth and an alcohol-free rosé which was AMAZING!! We bought a bottle of the rosé to take home and already can't wait to visit again.

    Spanish white anchovies, chorizo, manchego and all the fixin's

    But do they love dogs as much as we do....can we bring our little furry friend.... Maybe a patio?

    Yes of course! Our patio is very dog friendly and we always have doggy bowls with water available to both guest dogs as well as passers by. See you soon!

    Do you take reservations for a party of 2?

    We do for special occasions and holidays, like Graduation, Father's Day, and more.

This explained why the bar stools were all taken. These stools are for the aspiring DJ's to sit in line waiting for their turn. The sound system in here was all built by Jeff and all of the music played sounded incredible. I really appreciated all the different tunes being spun and each DJ had their own unique style so you never knew what music genre would be played next. The vibe here is so laid back and intimate. Small bites are served as well as beer and wine. We stayed for a while, enjoyed a glass of wine and played a great game of Cribbage. I really enjoyed meeting Jeff and cannot wait to return to this one of kind vinyl bar.

The tip o' Argentina was solid with the garlic aioli and the chimmichurri perfectly complimenting the steak and the lettuce and tomato adding a little bit of freshness. The buns they use for all of their sliders are soft, slightly sweet, and don't fall apart while you're eating. The Bahn Mi was even better. I love pork but was a little skeptical about pulled pork on a slider riffing on the flavors of a bahn mi.

I got a Gouda Burger, the summer crunch salad, and garlic fries. My wife and kid also had a slider but did Italian Sprouts, mac and cheese with bacon, and sweet potato fries. The slider was good- tasty but a little messy to eat. Both servings of fries were really generous. The salad was a good mix of ingredients. However the mac and brussels sprouts were a bit disappointing. For some there is no such thing as too much bacon but for us both of these dishes definitely had too much bacon- so much that we left a lot of the bacon! And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my bacon.
