Fulton 55

Fun little venue that brings in bands and singers to entertain our rock and roll hearts. Thank you Fulton 55

Everyone we ran into here was nice from the security, the bartender and the crowd. The sound is amazing. The only things that need work is the lighting crew needs to minimize the use of the red lights on the stage and they could really use more tables & chairs on the first floor since the second floor was closed. We were forced to remain standing until someone left and gave us their seats.

Fulton 55 is a great venue for music events. They occasionally host EDM DJs, and my favorites are when they bring in House Music DJs. The venue is two stories, offering plenty of seating and standing areas, with bars on both floors.One of the events I attended had limited VIP tickets, allowing you to dance and drink on the stage behind and around the DJ. The crowd varies depending on the type of event, but most people have been pretty easy-going.There aren't many venues like this around, so I'd recommend giving it a try if you see an artist you like playing here. Drinks are expensive, but that's to be expected.

Fulton 55 is still a great place to see a show. Drinks were good, happy to see local General Sherman on tap, ticketing was smooth. It's been a few years since we came to an event where they had the second floor open. The first floor isn't that big so they aren't able to put more than 16 or so 4-top tables. Fortunately, people that come here are cool and chill and extra seats are situated. I love coming here for shows.

I went in around 930 pm.. guess there was bands playing and ending at 10pm.. I nearly died when they said I still had to pay a 30.00 cover Charge for 30 min of live music..WTH!!! Ill never go there again.. I mean I ordered 2 drink..15.00 a pop..anyway..last time.. seems they are desperate for cash.. the cover is ridiculous.

Establishment is not acknowledge if the venue is 21 or older. Drove two hours for an event just be turned away. The doorman was actually high on a substance and cannot tell if we were 21 older and had to get some help with the math of determining if we were 21 or older. Venue smelled as well.

So I've been here for a while now and unfortunately a pandemic happened. So I've only been here 3 times in 2 n a half years. Once as static X reunion tour. Full night all good. Now it gets interesting. Was here a few months ago for a local show. The upstairs was shut down and the place was probably to capacity of 25 people at best. Then the other night as Bias was playing with LA band Society 1. All the bands were good. The upstairs was open. For me a first. It was art the booking agent 10 year anniversary. So it's interesting that I constantly hear how great "it used to be". I totally get that the pandemic is still lingering. However one would think after 2 and a half years of purgatory really that everyone would be itching to go out see some live shows. Plus a 10 year annual event should bring in its own group of people. Whelp. Not the case tonight. There is something very wrong here and I can't blame anyone really because I've no facts to back it up. But when there are a handful of bands playing you would think that it would be at the least full. This place was a ghost bar. Each band brought a handful of people. But rather than piggybacking. A term used when one artist uses the audience of another to gain exposure to their music and show. It was very segregated. One band plays. A group of people watched. They leave. A couple of the bands left after and some stayed. Good to see at least that much. However either the days of promotion or advertising and filling a room appears to be over.?. Could it have been the bands? The night was Saturday. So maybe it was promotional issues. If I didn't know one of the bands. I never would have been aware anything was going on there. I did see a post on Facebook. Now maybe I'm just delusional or old school but. I still believe in posters and billboards and Flyers. Something physical to me is more personal than scrolling through the 100,000 posts from every band promoter artist musicians and their friends and my friends and your friends and every friend of theirs. Folks i check FB a few times a day out of boredom but it's rare that I see a bunch of bands I've never heard of and think. Hum I really want to see them. Even though it's easier than ever to find whomever is listed. That's just me. I listen to a ton of music. New and old. Usually streaming. And if Spotify or apple whoever you use shows that an event is coming to town it might peak my interest. But what about locals? Do you support live music? I've been to a lot of venues in town. Rare occasions you might see a good twenty spot for an audience. I've yet to see ANYTHING packed yet, in nearly 3 years. In LA on any given night. You will always find something to do. Or a band or a DJ or a theme Eg "bar sinister". That's once a week at a venue and it's always full. Point is if you are a going out type. When I was in college every night was going out night. That was UCSB Or CUSF. It seems this city shuts down at 10. Or earlier.. what is it? Bad bands? Depression? Financial issues? Is it venue's? A combo. Maybe this is a wrong place for this question but why are all the events in Fresno basically meh to empty? Anyone? If it USED to be so great then why aren't y'all coming back? This place is great. Decent prices cool staff decent lighting. Sound was nice for my taste a bit to low end no mids or high's. But good. The bands all had each other backs but it seemed like no body came to this event that didn't know someone playing. That's sad.

We played here on tour up from LA. What a great venue! Nicest staff ever, well-stocked green room, some of the best sound I've ever had on stage! Can't wait to come back.

Always a good time and a great Venue with a great full service bar both upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs overlooking the the stage with great view.

Made the trek from the Bay Area for the Tony MacAlpine/Vinnie Moore/Soul Sign show a few weeks back. A few things...The sound in this venue stinks. The two openers had a decent mix. The Tony/Vinnie/Soul Sign, the mix was abysmal at best! The vocals were inaudible for most of the set, the guitars were too low and hard to hear throughout, and Tony's keyboards were low, too. Essentially it was a drums/bass mix with little of everything else. Also, the show was billed as Vinnie Moore & Tony MacAlpine as a co-headline with Soul Sign opening. That was totally false. Soul Sign was essentially the backing band for the night, playing some of their own material with Vinnie and Tony joining for a handful of their songs individually. Soul Sign played some more songs as a full band and then they all jammed out a couple of UFO covers. It was essentially a big jam.
