First chance to visit The Tarlton Theatre in Walnut in Green Bay. Great place. Intimate setting..small tables in floor for two..Booths in upper level. Listened to the Green Bay Jazz Orchestra. Blown away. Met new people. Performance was great.This was a free show, but there is a diverse group of performances and pushes for the Tarlton.Looking forward to further exploring this spot including seeing the Sinatra show in June 19th.Another hidden gem in Green Bay in the Broadway District.Drinks can be purchased. Not sure if any food is offered.

Saw a Drag Show and had dinner. Love the old theater atmosphere! The bar and staff were excellent, the show was terrific, and most of the food was pretty good. The Buffalo mac and the truffle fries were great. But the tenderloin sandwich is chopped steak, more like a burger.

Dont judge the book by its cover! Meaning the exterior is need of some updating, and I heard that may be coming, inside its a great venue for enjoying anything on stage. Many booths and tables with some elevation makes for unobstructed viewing. A bar greets you when you walk in. Did you know they serve food there? Yup!

Went here with a friend to take in some music. Pretty nice place inside with booths. Some DJs were there dropping tracks and it was pretty cool. I wish now I had taken pics inside or of the food and drink cuz they have a great menu.But the inside was clean. Workers were pretty laid back. Just a cool place to go check out some good music.

Have only.been once, but it was cool! A lot more different than what I was expecting.They always have cool stuff going on there, but when we finally were able to go to an event there, it was for an art war! Totally awesome and fun. Will be going again.

We perform several magic shows a year at this amazing historic venue. The venue itself is truly stunning and the events they host offer a robust variety of music, classic movies, cartoons, magic shows, burlesque, and so much more.The owners and staff are involved and caring community members who put forth immense effort organizing and hosting so many events that enhance the incredible city we call home.

The Tarlton Theatre is my favorite place in Green Bay! Tarl Knight, the owner, always plans a diverse set of events for the downtown community and, often, hosts many local artists to participate in organized performances. I feel at home in an environment that encourages creativity, especially when the service is consistently prompt and polite. I recommend The Tarlton Theatre experience to every person who I know and who may be in the area.

Attended a magic show last night and we had a great time. The venue is beautiful but there food menu was a little rough.I am a foodie, no doubt about it. When I asked some questions about the menu, nobody knew… and then they guessed. I asked about a burger and the size of the patty, it was good. But it was not a 1/3lb patty like they said. We got a sampler and it was small bowl, said fried mushrooms. Came out with fried pickles, is this a big deal?Nah its not but then when we got out dinners, my wife’s salad had a crawling bug in it, kind of like a caterpillar….I personally don’t think the proper precautions were taken to clean the product.Very cool venue. But it was a little disturbing for us.

Went to see Tribute to the Life & Music of Bob Balsley last night! It was a well put together performance. The theater is very beautiful with friendly staff & great drinks. Didnt eat there but the food looked & smelled delicious! I cant wait to return.

Went for the speed painting event. The food was good, art was interesting. I have a couple of suggestions. It would be nice if you could put the artists on a slowly rotating platform so those with limited mobility can watch all artists without having to leave their seats. Eliminate spray paint and spray adhesive from the theater; the fumes are overpowering to people sensitive to them. The wobbly railing doesnt help with stability. Using the ladies restroom , I found it was being used as a smoking lounge, which was especially worrisome after being given the warning about lacking sprinklers and information about evacuation of the building. Green Bay needs more places like this supporting the arts. The idea is very good; it just needs to be tweaked to be more inclusive. Tarl seems to be the kind person who will make it a success!

Pretty impressive ! Well thought out, well run, kept the audience engaged and the artists were just a joy to watch ! The auction too was well planned and no one got tired of waiting for the next thing up, being it voting, or the auction or the next round. Well attended ! Great staff, Good food and drinks ! Definitely one of the best Art events in this area, and a very beautiful place to have it in. THANK YOU !

I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show here. It was all I hoped. Tickets, prop kits, and food were all easily purchased and reasonably priced. Parking is free. I would love to see more shows at this small venue, I loved everything about it. I’d love to get a booth next time and plan to eat dinner there before or during the show. The employees and participants were so friendly.

Great historic public space! Fell in love with the theatre during an art war competition, which encouraged me to go to all the different events they host. Movies, Green Bay Film Festival, UWGB jazz/orchestra nights, art competitions, diva shows, club/bass nights, and anything you can think of. So cool to see a historic theatre becoming versatile to a wide range of events.. Try the Captain Crunch Chicken Tenders because you wont regret it!

Review №27

Art wars was great, the only thing that would make it better is not allowing people to bring previous art works in to copy off of. The show is timed to see how great the artist is at creating something not copying something. Was wonderful watching creations come to life!

ArtWars at Tarlton Theatre on May 20, 2022 was a very positive experience. I was happy with the overall atmosphere including the music, featuring Cat Plan, and wine selection. I recommend others to check out this venue.

A great venue. My wife and I went here for a movie. The food and service were great. Always something different happening here. From movies to concerts, to karaoke, to Saturday morning cartoons, and the occasional drag show. While this place doesnt have Dolby sound or a giant screen. It is very pleasant and intimate. Seating is in booths and very comfortable. All in all a great place to take in local talent and tasteful movies

Attended Rocky Horror here. Issues with starting the movie (45 minutes late) and when the movie did play, there was an error message on the screen. They did offer refunds if anyone wanted to leave, I think everyone decided to stay. It was a fun time, but it seemed like they were pretty unprepared for the showing, testing your equipment before you have a packed house would be a good idea too.

Review №33

We went for a Halloween viewing of Rocky Horror Picture Show and had a blast. I feel like there are still a few things they need to work out, not that I am one to make suggestions, but the folks running the Tarlton clearly love the space and opportunity to bring some fun to Green Bay. Keep an eye on events!

A unique experience like no other in Northeast Wisconsin. A classic movie theatre that is renovated and offers an eclectic mix of live entertainment on stage along with adult beverages and classic American cuisine. The Tarlton Theatre often hosts events that wouldnt happen like they do here anywhere else in the area.

Its nice to finally see this space being utilized correctly. Tarl has done great work with the community and the Tarlton brings a little taste of culture to the Shipyard District that its been sorely missing.

Tarl is a huge supporter of the LGBTQ-mmunity. Beyond that the Tarlton is a very relaxed art-deco theatre with gracious hosts and delicious food. Come see one of the famous Divalicious on Broadway shows. You wont regret it. Even if you arent in the queer community.
