Steins Beer Garden in Mountain View is set to close at the end of March after nearly 12 years of operation, significantly affected by the pandemic's economic impact. Managing Partner Ted Kim cited a decline in customer traffic, rising wages, and escalating costs as reasons for the decision. The establishment has been a staple for local Oktoberfest celebrations since 2013, and Kim hopes the tradition will continue despite the closure. The announcement has elicited heartfelt responses from the local community, acknowledging the venue's role in their social lives and memories.
This decision comes with profound sadness and a deep sense of gratitude for all the cherished memories we've had over the years.
I've declared this 'my spot' for such a long time. Thanks for everything - what a gift it has been to be able to go to Steins.
