The bars in Green Bay covered here sit in four places: Broadway and Washington Street downtown, the stadium district around Lambeau Field, the east side, and the neighborhood taverns and bar-and-grills toward the south and north edges of the city. Which one you want depends on the night. On a Packers Sunday the stadium district takes over. On a Friday the bar-and-grills fill their fish fry orders. On a quiet Tuesday, a German alehouse on the south side with a European beer on tap makes more sense.
This is a corner-tavern town. A brandy Old Fashioned is the default cocktail, the Friday fish fry is a bar meal as much as a restaurant one, and closing time has its own name: bar time. Here is where to drink, area by area, with hours, addresses and distances.

Where are the bars in Green Bay?
The bars in Green Bay cluster downtown along Broadway and Washington Street, on Holmgren Way and the streets around Lambeau Field, and in a scatter of neighborhood spots farther out. Downtown is where you can walk between several bars in an evening. The rest of the city is spread out enough that you will want a car, a rideshare or a designated driver.
Measured in a straight line from downtown, the stadium district bars on Holmgren Way sit about 2.2 miles southwest, Taverne in the Sky at Lodge Kohler about 2.7 miles west, and the Lorelei Inn about 1.4 miles south on South Webster Avenue. Farther out, The Village Grille on Hoffman Road is about 3.8 miles south, Anduzzi's Sports Club on Kepler Drive about 4.2 miles southeast, and Chambers Hill on Velp Avenue about 7 miles northwest. Choose the area, then the bar.
Downtown and Broadway bars
Downtown Green Bay is the walkable part of the bar map: taprooms and taverns on Broadway on the west bank of the Fox River, and cocktail bars on Washington Street across the river near the Meyer Theatre. Start on Broadway if you want beer, Washington Street if you want a cocktail before a show.
Titletown Brewing is in Green Bay's former Chicago and Northwestern train depot. According to State Trunk Tour, the depot opened in 1899, carried passengers until 1971 and handled freight until 1994. Titletown added a larger brewery and tap room, Beerworks, in renovated warehouse buildings across the parking lot in 2014, and opened a rooftop bar on top in 2015. Its own site lists the brewery, tap room and Sky Lounge rooftop at the Broadway address, with parking at the rear off Donald Driver Way; check current hours before you go.
South of the depot, Broadway turns more tavern than taproom. The Sardine Can at 128 South Broadway is the check-in point for this year's Halloween bar crawl run by Crawl With US, according to Travel Wisconsin's events listing.
In summer, the reason to be on Broadway midweek is the Farmers Market On Broadway, which runs Wednesday evenings from 3pm to 8pm, May through September, with local craft beer and live music alongside the produce stalls. Its listing puts the market at 163 North Broadway, about half a mile northwest of the downtown center.
Across the river, Washington Street is where you go for a drink before or after a show at the Historic Meyer Theatre, the restored 1930s theater at 117 South Washington Street. Downtown Green Bay's business directory lists The Nines a few doors along at 121 South Washington Street, with local craft beer, muddled Old Fashioneds, martinis and Saturday-morning Bloody Marys during the farmers market season; check before you go.
For something quieter, Republic Chophouse on North Adams Street has a lounge serving signature cocktails and small plates.
A block up the same street there is a pub inside the Hotel Northland, handy if you are staying downtown and do not want to go far. Bands play on both Broadway and Washington Street too, so check the venues for live music in Green Bay before you settle on a bar.
If you are spending the whole evening in downtown Green Bay, park once and walk: the Meyer Theatre on Washington Street and the farmers market block on Broadway are about 0.4 miles apart in a straight line.
Sports bars to watch the Packers away from Lambeau
If you are not inside the stadium, Anduzzi's Sports Club runs three Green Bay-area sports bars, and the east-side location on Kepler Drive keeps you well away from the stadium-district crowds. It is the bar to pick when you want the game on a big screen, a full kitchen and a seat you did not have to queue for.
The other two Anduzzi's sit at 1992 Holmgren Way in the stadium district and at 2555 Lineville Road, the location it calls Howard, according to its website. The east-side bar is about 4.2 miles southeast of downtown, on the opposite side of the city from the Holmgren Way bars by Lambeau Field.
The Anduzzi's listing on Local Eyes carries a steady run of events: game-day parking at the Holmgren Way lot for Packers home games, Halloween parties and bands. Check the events tab on the listing before you go, since the calendar changes week to week.
Where do fans drink on game day?
On game day, the bars on Holmgren Way and the streets around Lambeau Field are where ticket holders and tailgaters drink before and after kickoff. Stadium View describes itself as an enormous Packers sports bar a block from Lambeau Field, with tailgate parties on game days.
On the same road, The Bar on Holmgren Way serves pub food and hosts darts, volleyball and archery tournaments.
District Pour Haus, at 686 Mike McCarthy Way, is a self-pour bar with 48 taps that opened in January 2026, and its owners told WFRV they want it to be a year-round stop in the stadium district, not only a game-day one.
Cowboy Mac's Country Club on Armed Forces Drive adds Tex-Mex, barbecue and a whiskey-heavy bar, and its listing shows live bands on Friday nights this fall.
Plan the food side of game day around the restaurants and bars near Lambeau Field before you commit to a bar, since seats go fast once the tailgate lots fill.
Drinks with a view
For a drink with a view in Green Bay, go up: Taverne in the Sky sits on the fifth floor of Lodge Kohler looking out over Lambeau Field, and Titletown Brewing has a rooftop downtown on Broadway.
Downtown, the rooftop at Titletown Brewing is the open-air alternative. It suits a warm July evening far better than a January one.
Old-school taverns and German beer
For an old-school Green Bay bar, the Lorelei Inn on South Webster Avenue is a family-run German alehouse with European beer on tap and a German-American kitchen.
The Inn's own site says the current owners, Dave Hack, Lynne Stahl and Meagan Colombo, carry on what their parents Leonard and Marilyn Hack started in 1983.
Its site lists the bar open from 4pm Tuesday through Thursday and Saturday and from 11am on Friday, with dinner from 4:30pm to 8pm Tuesday to Saturday and the place closed on Sunday and Monday; check before you go. So the Lorelei is a weeknight and Saturday bar, not a Sunday game-day stop. Come for a quiet pint and a plate of schnitzel, not for the Packers.
The other old-school Wisconsin bar is the one at a supper club, where you order a brandy Old Fashioned, sweet or sour, while you wait for a table. That ritual is the whole point of the Green Bay supper clubs on the Fox River and out on the county roads.
Neighborhood bar and grills with a Friday fish fry
Away from downtown, Green Bay's neighborhood bars are bar-and-grills where the kitchen matters as much as the taps. Two of them cover opposite ends of town: The Village Grille on Hoffman Road to the south and Chambers Hill on Velp Avenue to the north.
The Village Grille, at 801 Hoffman Road, is a bar and grill with pub food, American dishes and breakfast in a big, low-key room. Its site lists hours of 6am to 9pm Monday to Saturday and 6am to 2pm on Sunday, with a Sunday breakfast buffet from 8am to 1pm, and mentions Friday fish fries without giving times; check before you go. At the bar, the site calls out an Old Fashioned muddled fresh.
Its second address, at 1390 Bellevue Street, is an events space open only for private bookings, so do not drive there for dinner.
Chambers Hill, at 12350 Velp Avenue about 7 miles northwest of downtown, is the north-edge equivalent: a bar and grill serving 12-inch pizzas, broasted chicken and a Friday fish fry, with dart boards for an evening that runs longer than dinner. Its listing has no website, so call 920-434-1008 for fish fry times before you go.
If you have not done a Wisconsin Friday fish fry, it is a Friday-night plate of fried fish with coleslaw, rye bread and fries or potato pancakes, eaten at a bar as often as at a restaurant. Arrive early on a Friday in Lent, when fish fry kitchens get busier.
Breweries and self-pour taprooms
For beer brewed in Green Bay, start at Titletown Brewing on Broadway; for range, District Pour Haus near the stadium has 48 self-pour taps.
At District Pour Haus you pour your own: the 48 taps cover beer, sours, wine, ciders, non-alcoholic and gluten-free options and nitro, and the kitchen serves burgers and fish dinners. Self-pour suits a group that cannot agree on a beer.
Taprooms open, move and close often enough that a list goes stale fast, so check a brewery's own site for this week's hours before you build a night around it.
What to know before a night out in Green Bay
Bars in Green Bay close at Wisconsin bar time: 2am on most nights and 2:30am in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday, under state law. Plenty close earlier, so check the hours of the place you are heading to.
Order a brandy Old Fashioned and expect the bartender to ask sweet or sour: sweet is topped with lemon-lime soda, sour with sour mix or grapefruit soda. Plan Friday dinner at a bar-and-grill; the fish fry is on the bar menu here, not just at restaurants.
The bar areas are spread out, from the Lorelei Inn about 1.4 miles south of downtown to Chambers Hill about 7 miles northwest, so book a rideshare or pick a designated driver rather than planning to walk between areas.
On Packers home game days the stadium district is set up for the crowd, with tailgate parties and game-day parking lots. If you just want to watch, a bar across town is the calmer call.
If the night out is part of a longer visit, there are plenty more things to do in Green Bay by day. Pick the area, check the hours, and leave the car at the hotel.
