This is a cool spot, but it definitely needs to get its shit together. Came here on Wednesday to watch Ghostface perform and for the most part I enjoyed myself until people on the second floor started dropping beer bottles onto the bottom floor. I almost got hit twice. The first time a bottle fell I went over to the DJ to notify him of the incident and that there was broken glass on the floor, he let me know he would have someone clean it up and check upstairs for people acting up. As soon as I returned to my area, another one fell and grazed me. The got the people downstairs extremely pissed off and they started shouting and starting a ruckus so by that time the DJ made an announcement to have security check upstairs for people fucking around and for any bottles on the floor that may possibly slip through the barricade. No one came to clean up the TWO broken bottles and the drunk fucks upstairs kept spilling drinks onto the bottom. Something really needs to be done about this. Definitely ruined my experience.
Only plus side is that the drinks were cheap, however, I think this is why people were getting sloppy. Sigh. Maybe they should get rid of the bottles and just pour the beer into cups? That way they can at least prevent beer bottles from breaking on peoples fucking heads.
there is not much to do in fresno so this place is a good venue for the local music scene. they have a bar with very few options but if your intentions are to get tipsy i guess you don't need to look far. there is more than just music here, there are games upstairs  and lots of sitting room. i did like the fact that you could actually carry a conversation which is rare when the music is pumping. i would go again, if my husband plays a show there.
Review Source:As a performer (DJ) and patron, Fulton 55 is probably the best performance venue outside of the now-defunct Frank's Place. The only reason why I don't give this place a 5-star rating is that, from my experience, there's always some sort of sound issue during performances. Not sure if it's the equipment or just the acoustics of the building, but it's always something that comes up. Outside of that, all positives in my opinion!
Review Source:I'm a bit puzzled that Fresno does not have avid Yelpers. Â I'm so glad I'm moving to Fresno because it's pretty much an undiscovered oasis. Â So I was visiting the area looking for apartments and I.................................
Update:
I started writing this review 2 weeks ago but never finished but since then I've become a regular at the Fulton and I can honestly recommend it to everyone because it's a happening place. Â It's nice to have a venue that has something going on almost every single night i.e comedy, karaoke, and rock bands and even spanish rock shows. Â The Fulton is top notch with it's security, sound and customer service. Â I highly recommend it and if you see me around say hello I'm there like almost every other night.
I'll buy you whatever is on the drink special that night.
Cheers.
This venue has a cool vibe to it. This was my first visit there, even though it's a pretty popular spot. It definitely has it's pros and cons. I'll list a few for you:
Pros: has a loft area for additional standing/viewing areas, has clean and chic bathrooms, bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable, has security posted at the door, great sound tech, overall good vibe.
Cons: inside it is hot. as. hell., not enough seating options/standing area gets things really crowded trying to move to the bar and the bathrooms, viewing ability upstairs is pretty limited, if you order anything other than beer specials or well drinks it's extremely over-priced (p.s. $15 minimum for card/tab purchases), parking is hard to come by - leaving the only choices in the shady (p.c. term) surrounding neighborhoods, lots of mota smoking outside.
Maybe it's just not my scene... Even though it's a nice venue, I didn't feel comfortable at all while there. And unless it's a show I really want to see, I doubt I'll be making a strong effort to return.
Stopped by last night to see the band Diego's Umbrella. $6 cover @door. Music looked pretty cool and I wasn't disappointed. They were a super band with a quick gypsy/electric beat using lots of percussion. They didn't start till 9:45 and I was getting bored waiting by myself. Decided to move to the bar and from then on everything was cherry. I was thoroughly entertained by my bar mates and they accepted me wholeheartedly.
Real nice venue and only the downstairs was being used at the time. Bartenders are real friendly and danced and drank away with us all night. Crowd was 20's-30's and everyone seemed to have a great time.
They had drink specials and even added a dirty umbrella after Kevin suggested it (which I thought was neat). Really enjoyed the crowd so I'll be back many more times. This is the Cellar Door of Fresno w/liquor. Now I don't need to make that drive.
I thoroughly enjoy the Fulton 55. It's a nice change from the Starline or any other mediocre venue. Cover charges are comparable to other venues and there are 2 bars to appease the ever growing amount of alcohol breathing Fresnans. It's awesome that it's located downtown and hopefully will have a good affect on the changes that are trying to take root. Plus, this venue already attracts the ever more popular and established bands (Fierce Creatures, Strange Vine, Let's Go Bowling) that people actually want to see and hear.
Review Source:21+ Music Venue.
On one hand the cover is a little steep (it was $10 last night), but on the other hand its a nice venue to see a band or two or three and chill. So i'm in the middle.
Came to see a show and the place reminded me of a better and bigger Starline. What I thought was cool was that there was a second level balcony to lounge around and there's a medium size area for the crowd to see the act.
Bar wasn't crazy as I saw 2 -3 bartenders and got my drinks in a short amount of time (yay liquor!) and was reminded how pricey it is to get a buzz on in public (yay. liquor....)
Ten bucks got me a rum and coke and a big ol glass of beer and I also saw they have a $15 minimum charge if you use your card.
What I thought was interesting was a window that was embedded in the door of the women's restroom, so now guys can walk by and know what we do in there!!
Like fixing our boobs and---
Parking sucked and took awhile to find a space and it didn't help that the church next door was having service. You've been warned heathens!
I really liked this place as its a great platform to showcase local music and other travel ling acts, but since its a better music venue just be prepared to pay a little more.
