The Penny

Situated in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo, The Penny is a unique event venue featuring an open floor plan with an industrial indoor space + outside courtyard.

Constructed in the 1930’s to house a blacksmith shop, the building’s historic aesthetic showcases original architecture, exposed brick, and industrial finishes with modern fixtures and decor. It’s name, The Penny, is a nod to the craftsmanship that has taken place within these walls for close to a century.
