Updated: Aug 8, 2023

Looking for things to do on the weekends here on the Central Coast? Buckle up and get ready for the ultimate weekend inspiration! Here are three ideas to make sure your weekends are rockin’.


Family-Friendly Day


Hit a home run with your family with this weekend activity! Check out the San Luis Obispo Blues Baseball games. (View the full baseball lineup, click here.) They have baseball games going on throughout the summer! These games are perfect for families and are kid-friendly. Some of their games start around 1 PM, so you and your family don’t have to worry about being out too late. It’s a great way to get your family away from the computer and television and outside.

After the game, (or before) swing by Woodstock’s Pizza in downtown San Luis Obispo! Pizza’s a hit with kids and adults. Customize your pizza to ensure it’s just how your family likes it, and dig in! Maybe grab a cold beer or two for the adults. Cheers to a yummy and fun weekend!

A SLO Weekend

Get ready to explore downtown San Luis Obispo! Choose from or mix and match any of these four stops listed below for a tasty and fun day (or night) with your friends out on the town. All of the options below not only have mouth-watering dishes, but they’re also serving up some great craft cocktails, beer, and wine.


Swing by the Old San Luis BBQ window to pick up some BBQ! Don’t go into your SLO downtown adventure hangry. They’re grilling up high-quality cuts of meat, like certified Angus beef over oak, and then seasoning it to perfection! They specialize in authentic Santa Maria-style cuisine. This is paired with locally farmed, organic vegetables, ensuring fresh and high-quality meals!

Fun fact: many family recipes they use here date back nearly a century. Enjoy a seat outside and soak up the central coast rays as you dig into your meal.

Looking for some T&T (Taquila and tacos)? The Mark Bar & Grill has your back! With a full bar and a wide selection of tapas and tacos, they’re a great stop if you’re in downtown. Grab one of their craft cocktails, like a Kombucha Mule, and jam out to some live music on the patio on Saturday evenings (check out their music schedule). This bar is a local favorite for a good reason!

Or, dig into your own Ribey Steak and eggs dish, one out of the many options for individual dishes. Bon appétit!
