Fremont Theater - San Luis Obispo, California

Lovely little venue. Seems like it's an old movie theater, but equipped with great sound. No bad seats at all. No seat is a bad seat! Great concert lineups regularly, a hidden gem! We attend regularly, small issue with parking (on street surrounding neighborhood) so plan accordingly, but otherwise a great little community.

An old movie theater that now hosts concerts. Depending on the act, there may be standing room only in the front or they may have assigned seating.

Many great acts have come through, George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic, Patti Smith, Steve Earle, Charles Wesley Godwin and X to name drop a few shows I've seen here.

They sell local beer and wine for most events and there's some liquor as well.

Really good sound system and acoustics.

First time to this theater (I am from the East Coast). When we purchased Father John Misty tickets, we were concerned about the GA admission. I have a bad knee and required seating so I contacted the theater and asked about seating for handicapped. The person who answered the phone gave me the impression that there were some seats available but it was 'first come first serve' basis. This made us worried I might be forced to stand the entire concert.

That call alone might have made me give this theater a bad review. But the staff that worked the FJM concert show were absolutely fabulous! They found a seat for me to use while waiting in line to enter the show. And they also explained there were 100s of seats inside so there wouldn't be any issue with seating. We loved the venue and the sound quality was excellent. The refreshment stand also had reasonable prices. Overall our experience at the Freemont was perfect!

I attended the Brat night at the Fremont yesterday. I was appalled at the treatment me and my friend received from the security guard with the undercut and black hair. I was having extreme anxiety and went to the bathroom with my friend to figure out a plan to leave and to go pee. We were in the stall for probably 1-2 minutes. The second I leave the stall the security guard is in my face accusing my friend and I of hooking up or doing drugs she was so aggressive and said she would say it louder to humiliate us if we don’t leave immediately. She was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional. I have never left a bad review in my life that goes to show how shocked I was at the treatment I received. I myself am a trained security guard. The entire point of being a security guard is to PREVENT incidents from occurring. Why didn’t she tell us not to go in together? Why wasn’t there a sign saying 1 person per bathroom? Women use the restroom together all the time, to stick together in a crowded concert venue. It seems like she’s on a power trip. I’ve never had a bad experience at the Fremont but now I never want to go back. I guarantee you there was no one patrolling the men’s restroom. This happened to 4 other groups of girls that I know of. Plus another girl already left a review complaining about the same thing. It’s disgusting to treat people that way, there was no reason to get in my face and ambush me the second we left the stall.

Great beautiful theater. Comfy seat and spacious inside. Love that there are so mamy shows and events there! We went to a comedy show and had great time!

Incredible venue. Great for live shows. Only downfall was we paid for great seats up front. They converted the theater to have removable seats up front so pretty much folding chairs. Sound, lighting and ambiance is spot on! Concessions were not bad pricing either.

It's a great place to see a concert. I saw Leo Kottke there, and he sounded good with the house sound system.

Just drove buy and this building really caught my eye wish I would have been able to get a glimpse of the inside with such a cool exterior. Maybe next time! I'll definitely have to be back soon. If anyone knows what kind of showings they have here I'd love to hear about it, or any historical stories on it.
