Grand reopening planned for former Cayucos Vets Hall

Cayucos Landing

Closed for repairs in 2016, the grand reopening for the former Cayucos Vets Hall, now named the Cayucus Landing, is set for Aug. 25. The hall is located at the foot of the Cayucos Pier.

San Luis Obispo County led the $11 million dollar restoration effort with support from  the community and local organizations. Improvements include structural upgrades, restored architectural features, improved access to the iconic coastal views and modernized amenities to better serve the community’s needs.

“This hall has been at the heart of Cayucos for decades — a gathering place for veterans, families, and neighbors,” said SLO County Supervisor Bruce Gibson. “Its restoration is not just about preserving a building but about honoring the history and spirit of this amazing community which came together to help make this project happen.”

Before its closure in 2016 because of structural issues, the Cayucos Veterans Memorial Lions Hall was a popular location for weddings and other events. The hall hosted about 50 to 60 major events a year.

The ribbon cutting ceremony and Community Open House will be held on Aug. 25, starting 3:30 p.m.

Have you seen the rate sheet? I don’t see the locals being able to cough up the $10k per 12 hours of use for the full facility.

It won’t host groups like Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, or serve as the Community potluck venue anytime soon at those prices.

It will be filled by rich out of towners for their picturesque weddings and long time locals will be shut out.

They need community based pricing.


BTW .. If anyone has the old spaghetti recipe that was pinned to the wall for decades please publish it. Cinnamon or clove was the secret.


Will Dell be the MC for the grand opening event?


No, they want people to attend.


Did Dell lobby for indoor pickleball?
