Cool venue, went to The Big Lebowski showing during a snowstorm. If you have never been here before. You can eat during the show! Food was good, staff was friendly. Specials for Caucasians and pigs in a blanket. Hope to see another classic showing soon

Absolutely beautiful theater and is amazing for live events! All the staff were fantastic and the bar has had a good selection of drinks. The theatre was very clean and had plenty of seating. The show we went to for the Green Bay jazz orchestra was fantastic! I will absolutely be going again without a doubt it was a lovely experience!

I am fortunate enough to entertain at the Tarleton Theater. It is really a happening spot, especially for the 18 to 21 crowd. They dance the night away!

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.

Wonderful venue. Great sight lines. Food smelled fantastic. Will try to get there again for another show. The big air vents would have scared me as a kid. Seriously.

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.

In many ways, this is a really cool place. The decor is nice, it's clean and the help is helpful. They show old movies that aren't to be found anywhere else on a big screen. I find the food overpriced and underwhelming, and it takes forever to get. I've waited nearly an hour for an order of cheese curds, and the owner's attitude is so what! There are also stiff service fees for the food. They also have a bit of an attitude towards individual tickets; in fact, there was a space of time where individual tickets weren't even offered. Now they'll sell one but rest assured you'll be sitting with a stranger! I've never experienced this at any other venue. I don't like seeing bands here because it's a small space and the music is really too loud for that size of space. The owner is nice enough but some of the other guests can be a bit snotty; one actually shamed me for being by myself! I used to really like coming here. These days, I'm feeling a bit lukewarm. Meh.

I wish now I had taken pics inside or of the food and drink cuz they have a great menu. I will have to go back now to take in another show so I can add more pics. Over all cool place if u want to take in a show. Workers were all chill and nice. Place was clean.

A new but old venue. The Tarlton Theatre is very cool. I had the opportunity to watch a movie and try some of the foods they offer. They also do many other types of events other than movies. Although theming movie nights is very cool. Menu items matching the movie is a great idea. Like the old days of Saturday morning cartoons? This fall they will again be doing this noon-3pm with their full bar and menu items available. They have dances, music, and more. The Lobster Mac & Cheese is very creamy and delicious. I also tried the Truffle Oil & Parmesan Fries. These were very good. Check out their social media pages for upcoming events to keep up with all the different things they will be doing.

We have gone to The Tarlton twice now. It is a quaint little theatre and we love it! I like the layout and the fact that you may order food. We enjoyed both shows and appreciate that this is an option for us as n Green Bay.

Small theatre with one screen. It's clean and has a full bar. There is booth seating for your viewing/dining pleasure. The movies on Wednesday and Thursday are only $5 and they play old films. I have been there twice and saw the old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the original Wizard of Oz. I ordered the Captain Crunch chicken tenders the first time and they were so good that I ordered them the second time. The drinks and food are reasonably priced. The service was rather slow both times. I haven't been to an event there yet, and will update this review when I do-but I saw they have bands and comedians and musicians and such. I will be back again!

A nice theater built in the Art deco style. A great venue. My wife and I went here for a movie. The food and service were great. You have to try the lobster mac and cheese. Crab cakes with aioli sauce were also worth mentioning. Good beer list, cocktails and ginger beer. Always something different happening here. From movies ($5) to concerts, to karaoke, to Saturday morning cartoons, and the occasional drag show. While this place doesn't 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. While it doesn't come to the level of the Oriental Theater in Milwaukee or the Orpheum in Madison. The food and service and ambiance are solidly 4 and a half star. I rounded up because of the community involvement and vision of the owners. Watching a good movie while sitting in a comfy booth with the option to eat some good eats is the best life can offer.

The last time I was here it was the West Pitcher show. It has gone through many changes since then , not all good, so I am glad to see it returning to the historic theater it once was. I was there for a Yelp event and the owner talked to us about the history, the movie screen is original from 1941, doesn't go up or down and the the Tarlton is the only real cinema left in Green Bay. I love the dinner and a movie concept and the Tarlton does so much more; Saturday cartoons with brunch, drag shows, karaoke, live music, charity events, weddings, and more. For our movie night we had the captain crunch chicken tenders and lobster mac-n-cheese, I am not a fan of captain crunch or chicken tenders so I thought they were just okay but kids would love them. I love Mac-n-cheese and am pretty picky about it, believe it or not this was the best lobster Mac I've ever had, perfect amount of lobster, creamy cheese sauce, so good I would go here just for that! My friend ordered the Caesar salad and they weren't able to make it because they didn't have any lettuce. The reason was because the Farmer's market had been cancelled the day before, I love the fact they source produce from local farmers so that is another plus. I can't wait to go here again and attend some of the different events, the owner is a nice guy and a musician himself, the staff is friendly and efficient and while they make sure you have food and drinks during the movie, they do it in such a way to not disturb your experience. I will definitely go back and recommend taking advantage of this unique gem.

We had a fantastic time at a Thursday night film event here. They have a well balanced menu and a full bar. This theater is revitalized and holds many types of events: live music, stand up comedy, movie nights, Saturday morning cartoons, club nights, and even karaoke. (And many more!) My heart is happy-- it is pure joy witnessing one of our city's fabulous historic venues through the refreshed perspective of Tarl Knight and all others involved. Tarl and his team have shown great commitment to preserving the historical integrity of the building while bringing creative multi faceted use to this great space. Thank you and we will definitely be back!

I had a great time at the Rocky Horror Picture Show last night. The staff was friendly and helpful. They offered great prop kits, food, and drinks for sale at a reasonable price. This show was the most fun for the least expense. Parking was free and easy.
