About Sunset Drive-In - San Luis Obispo

Welcome to Sunset Drive-In in San Luis Obispo, a classic single-screen theater where movies light up the night for cars in rows. With a capacity of approximately 500 cars, this nostalgic venue offers a simple, straightforward way to enjoy films under the stars. Double features are common on most nights, and Sunday swap meets bring additional weekend activity to the grounds. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit basics, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan your visit.

Address: 255 Elks Lane, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. While there isn’t a traditional public seating chart, your seating is determined by your car’s position in the rows in front of the screen. Parking is in the lot in front of the screen, with rows designated for vehicles. Most guests arrive by car, and the venue is best enjoyed with a full carload of friends or family.

For travelers staying near the Madonna Inn area or near Hotel Buena Vista SLO, Sunset Drive-In is a convenient local attraction to pair with a night out. When you’re ready to secure your tickets, we’ll handle the details and help you lock in a great view for the show. If you’re planning a weekend visit, consider nearby dining options and comfortable lodging to make your trip easy and enjoyable.

Pro tips: arrive early for preferred parking, check for any Sunday swap meets on the grounds, and bring along a portable radio or use your car’s audio system to enjoy the film with ease. We’re here to help you secure your seats and enjoy a smooth drive-in experience in San Luis Obispo.
