The Fremont Theater is iconic in San Luis Obispo and a treasured piece of history. Back when they discontinued showing movies here, a big debate ensued and the deciding vote was to keep it part of SLO's rich culture and local entertainment. Since its inception, it was a valued piece of art onto itself. The acoustics are surprisingly really good, even better than many large theaters with name acts in Los Angeles County. Super excited to see Demetri Martin, such a prized comedian! He tends to tour much larger venues, so he and his team must also be privy to this community's charmed theater. Drinks, alcoholic and sodas and popcorn for sale to bring into the theater; no outside food allowed, of course. Come, relax, and enjoy this relic while you watch your favorite entertainers!

Saw YYSE last night. I like how even though it was sold out, it wasn't packed tight. It did get VERY HOT before the show even started. They don't check on bathrooms, was out of soap and toilet paper. Staff is nice so that's a plus. No seats in front of the stage but they had plenty of chairs in the middle and back. My wife and I sat in the back and could still see well :)

We came for a concert and had issues with our tickets. Ellie at the box office went above and beyond to make it right. Very sweet and professional service. A very enjoyable experience.

Excellent venue for films, concerts, and special events. I was there for the SLO Film Fest & was impressed by the beautiful blue & pink glowing deco exterior & ceiling. Props to them for not converting the original historic 1941 theatre into a multiplex. The Fremont is conveniently located downtown, plenty of free street parking. I'm guessing there are 800 seats, as there's no info on their website.

Fun, vintage, smallish theater across the street from San Luis Obispo City Hall, in the downtown area. It has an art deco style. Looks like much of the original charm from when built. A staffer guessed it was built in the 40s, when I asked. Great smaller theater. We went to see a Bee Gees cover band on a Sunday night. Lights and sound were good. They sold drinks, including beer & wine, and popcorn in the lobby. The show was only about half full as far as the audience. We had a blast and went to the back of the theater to dance- out of respect for the others near us who sat for most of the show. Venue security seemed very cool and let people dance in front of the stage and side aisles. It was a bunch of middle to older aged folks, such as myself, but we still had a blast! Best part is it was within walking distance from the hotel we stayed at, Hotel Cerro, and also near lots of restaurants and bars. I e-mailed the Fremont box office on a Friday and the staff, named Dolly, replied that same day. Shout out to Dolly!Fine venue for a small to medium sized show experience. Would definitely return.

The Fremont really ads character to downtown SLO. I love the bright colorful neon lights at night.My friends and I attended a concert here and had the best time. The venue is much larger that I thought it'd be. Movie theatre seating and a pretty big stage.The security working that night were super cool and chill. Enforced the rules without killing the vibe. Much appreciated.Concessions was alright, and they had a small bar. BATHROOM HACK for women since our bathrooms always have a line - next to the men's restroom there's a slightly hidden all gender bathroom. That one stayed empty after the concert.. probably because it's hidden!Why not 5 stars? Feels pretty old and dusty inside. A new paint job and carpets would go a long way.

Great time at the Fremont Theatre last night. We saw Keb Mo, Blues & they were fabulous. Terrific music - took me back home. Beautiful lighting. Bravo. Super acoustics. And we danced! Yay! Packed house, no proof of vaccination required. Clean theatre, restrooms too. Attendants in aisles with flashlights for secure walkways to & from seats. Looked like tasty refreshments (we didn't partake) & I love that you can take your drink into the theatre. Fun night! So good to attend a music event again.

The best venue to house bands here in the five plus cities, honestly!!The sound was good--drinks were pricey and had loads of filler sweet juice and not enough booze to balance out cocktail. Employees were super nice and helpful. Will return.
