    This is a VERY COOL venue! I have been to concerts,…read moresymphonies and small venue presentations all over the USA, but I have never been a venue like this. The Listening Room is truly for LISTENING. For a small donation of $20 you are allowed to listen to artists perform in a intimate venue. Prior to the concert, the owner Jim Pennington, informs you of the rules. To paraphrase Jim, "If you want to talk, drink and be rude, go down the street to a bar." I ADORE this concept of "no talking" while someone is performing. How often have you been to a venue where you couldn't hear the performer due to all the background noise? NOT happening here! Jim is the consummate host, selling assorted beverages and CD's of the performer with proceeds going to the artist. I highly recommend this venue to anyone in the Mobile or surrounding area. I do not live locally, only visiting once a year, but TLR has become a "must do" for our trips to Alabama.

    What an awesome experience!!! I was invited to join some people for a show at the listening room…read morewhile I was driving through Mobile in June. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the feeling of the listening room was so unique and intimate- I loved it! The artist was a local star, but I knew nothing about him. Every song he played was so personal and wonderful. The crowd was respectful and everyone had their phones away during there concert. I was told that the Listening Room is special in this way, because people go there to listen- not to talk or stare at their phones. The set was almost 2 hours, but it felt much shorter due to the small and intimate space the music was being played in. I seriously loved going to a show at the Listening Room and I'd love to go back if I'm ever in Mobile!

    The Listening Room - It's a small but they have good entertainment. A selection of beer is available, but it's mostly for "listening". Sit back and enjoy!

    This place quickly became one of our favorite stops during our vacation! We first visited on…read moreSaturday morning for breakfast and were excited to catch the Pirates and Princess Show. The all-you-can-eat family-style breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of delicious food for everyone. What really made the experience special was how interactive the performers were. Before the show, they walked around the restaurant chatting with guests and engaging with the kids. Our 10-year-old had an absolute blast and was entertained from start to finish. Our server, Alina, was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and always making sure we had everything we needed. We enjoyed our first visit so much that we returned the next day for lunch. TJ was our server and provided equally outstanding service. My husband ordered the po'boy, I had the fried shrimp basket, and our son chose the grilled shrimp. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. I also tried the Shark Attack drink, which was not only delicious but came with a fun presentation that added to the experience. The combination of great food, excellent service, and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere kept drawing us back. Whether you're visiting with kids or just looking for a unique dining experience, this place is definitely worth a visit. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in town!

    We had a great experience at The Hangout! We had zero wait when we arrived (a little after 4pm)…read more Our server was quick to grab drinks, which were great. The vibes of this restaurant are great. Very lively and upbeat. It was Easter Sunday, so the kids received treat bags with Easter eggs filled with candy. That was so nice. I had the smothered snapper. It was phenomenal! It was flavorful, light, and flaky. My husband had the ultimate boil with snow crab. He enjoyed it and the trough of garlic butter for dipping. The kids also enjoyed their food. Now to the shenanigans...so much fun! The kids loved dancing on the tables. All of the staff were so fun and friendly! Loved the music and the DJ. The kids loved playing outside, the foam party, and we all loved the live music. This is the ultimate spring break stop. We didn't try the gelato, but maybe next time.

    I love Top of the Bay! Seriously, who IS this horse-faced Avery chick? Girl must be the Yelp…read moreequivalent of a professional hater--she drops a 1-star review faster than a drunk uncle drops his beer at a wedding. Probably mad because the barstools don't come with a personal therapist to listen to her complaints. Meanwhile, the rest of us are living our best lives: the atmosphere is straight-up electric (in a good way, not like that one time the jukebox shorted out), the booze flows like it's happy hour in heaven--wine? Nah, we're talking bottomless vibes and top-shelf pours that make you forget what day it is. The staff? Absolute legends. They remember your drink before you remember your own name, and they do it with smiles bigger than the Mobile Bay itself. And the events? Non-stop party central: * Wednesdays: Line dancing so fun you'll forget you have two left feet (spoiler: everyone does after shot #3). * Fridays: Live bands that slap harder than your ex's bad decisions. * Saturdays & Sundays: Karaoke where your off-key rendition of "Sweet Caroline" somehow becomes the highlight of the night--bonus points if you dedicate it to Avery for the motivation. Plus, outdoor music perfect for pretending you're in a music video while actually just spilling your drink on your shoes. It's the ultimate spot to grab a cold one, mingle like you're auditioning for a rom-com, and meet new people who are actually fun (unlike certain reviewers). The regulars? Pure gold. They'll hook you up with every hidden gem, event, and questionable life choice happening in Baldwin County faster than you can say "another round." Bottom line: If you're looking for a good time in Daphne, Top of the Bay is where it's at. Avery can stay home reviewing her own fridge if she wants--more barstools for the rest of us party animals!

    Listen. This is probably the best hometown bar I have ever been to…read more I am a 42 year old WOMAN who enjoys coming to this bar. I come with my husband, so I haven't ever had the experiences as OTHER women (please see the lot lizard that left the one star review on 3/13) of being put in my place and told no when attempting to seduce a SIGNIFICANTLY older man (ohmygod its like I was there...) I also don't tend to laugh like a loud congested hyena, so maybe that doesn't hinder my view on the joint. The bartenders Morgan, Christina, John and Emma are all amazing. They all pay attention to you, regardless of whats between your legs. Please give this bar a chance. Just dont sit where we sit, or play shitty music please. Thank you!
