I've seen a few shows most recently Ice Nine Kills. This venue is unbelievable for shows that we…read moremay not get in Green Bay, WI if not for the work they do. The Epic has awesome sound, friendly bartenders and does a great job serving everyone that needs something. I've read other reviews, and I agree security is a little uneven, if you are in the mosh pit, you are taking your own chances, so I don't agree with security having to intervene. But with no place to sit on the main floor for 4+ hour shows, I've seen people get yelled at for leaning against gates and things, pretty unrealistic expectations. Small venue with great views, ideal sound, and unique acts make this a local gem!

I came here for an Atmosphere/Sage Francis show. It was just a short drive from Oshkosh. Tickets…read morewere very reasonable. When we got there parking was super easy and plentiful. The audio sounded really nice and you could tell that it wasn't a very old system. Drinks were very easy to get and pretty reasonable price as well. The bathrooms were clean and I had a really good time so I'll definitely be back in the future hopefully to see some more Rap shows.

The review written by Hunter B., on 11/20/2014, is absolutely false. I have gone to this bar for…read moreabout 10 years and I have visited for pretty much every type of occasion (football games, live music, casual evenings, etc.). Contrary to Hunter's fallacious testimony, I have never witnessed anyone smoke anything in the bathrooms, nor have I seen any "drug-related" or criminal activity inside or outside the establishment. Regardless of the shift being worked, the day of the week, or the event being held, the staff is always kind and welcoming, and the service is always prompt. The owner is personable, easy-going, and charming. The bartenders at this bar are very adept, highly experienced in serving large crowds. Because of this, the customer service remains outstanding during those busy nights with live music. Hunter B.'s accusations about cleanliness are also erronious, as the staff works hard to maintain a safe, clean environment. As I've already stated, Hunter's review is completely fabricated/mistaken; Frets and Friends is a friendly, trustworthy bar, with a wonderful staff. Hunter B.'s nonsensical review is nothing short of slander and it should be removed.

In many ways, this is a really cool place. The decor is nice, it's clean and the help is helpful…read more 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.

New bar in downtown Green Bay. The location is awesome for the Wednesday Night Farmers Market and…read morethey take advantage of it with Happy Hour specials. Which is awesome for customers! Place plays great music and is nice and cool when you need a break from the summer heat. Multiple TV's to watch the game and a circular bar with lots of seats. They also have outdoor seating in the shade (with its own bar) and and extra indoor room that both have enough room for live bands. Honestly kind of the same set up as the previous business at this location, but the new name and (assumed) new management seems to have new energy.

The staff is friendly and helpful and the performance space is large enough national touring acts such as Disciple, Flatfoot 56, and John Reuben. The schedule is not limited to just these genres.

There is no cover charge to get in, but there is an option for patrons to donate to both the "Cup" and the acts that are performing.

All of the larger cities in the state have their top bars and places to grab a cocktail and very quickly this location has placed itself right at the top! For downtown locations in Green Bay, there isn't anywhere that offers or invests more in their live music, happy hour specials, and bartenders service. Never have an empty drink, friendly servers, and clean cut environment! Great place to grab a drink, and stay for a few with friends and family! It's one of those places you will introduce to your friends and you will end up planning into your future trips to Green Bay or your typical Wisconsin weekend cocktail hour!

We knew we didn't want a DJ at our wedding. Every wedding we've been to that had a DJ felt…read moreover-produced. The DJ would emcee the event and dominated the vibe. We didn't want that partly because we had an outdoor wedding in a tent in a beautiful, natural setting, and someone playing pre-recorded hits from the 80s, 90s and later seemed like a mismatch. And also partly because that's just not us. We like the natural, the analog, the softer and more organic feel. So we decided to hunt down some live acoustic options. As soon as we found Acoustic Endorphins, we knew we were all set in the reception music department. From our initial inquiry all the way through to the rainy morning of the event, Ted took great care of us. They worked with us on a specific set list, organizing songs by tempo so that the slower songs were played during the dinner buffet, and more upbeat songs played after dinner when people were more likely to be dancing. And dance they did! They even invited guests to play and sing along with them. Not only did they nail the event, and achieve the ideal vibe we'd hoped for, people came up to us regularly throughout the night to compliment them. On top of that, they are two good-looking dudes who dress to impress and their set-up with the instruments and lights was perfect. And they wore kilts! My background is Irish/German, my wife's is mostly German and Welsh, so the kilts were a hit with everyone. Planning a wedding involves trusting vendors you've never worked with to come through for you, not just to show up at the right time, but to give their all on your big day. And Acoustic Endorphins gave us everything they had, and we really can't thank them enough for that.
