He tried the Shady Jackson, Lake State Lager, Summer Spin and Chris and the Giant Peach. He enjoyed them all and liked the crispness of the peach and mango in the Summer Spin. They also distill liquor, so I enjoyed a vodka lemonade. Their vodka was smooth . They offer food and you order at the food counter. Per the recommendation of the chef we tried the taco pizza. It was excellent. He explained they make their own salsa, season the meat and dough. The pizza was topped with crushed tortilla chips. The blend of flavors and fresh salsa was very good. There are plenty of seating options and the atmosphere is welcoming.

They host open mic nights (usually free), comedians, and niche musical artists. I believe the venue only sits around 100 people, but the intimate space makes for fun shows where artists can interact with the audience. There is a full service bar in the back and they serve a few snacky-type foods (popcorn, pretzels). Ticket prices range, and I think it's based on who they book. So just be in tune to their website for info. If you park in the "STUDIO PARK(ING)" ramp, they will validate the parking ticket. My experience seeing shows here has always been positive. Midtown is also a part of the Listening Lawn performances in the summer! Overall a 5/5 rating.

I've been to the Listening Room a few times now, most recently for a stand up show. Seats were…read morefirst come, first served, so we got there early and grabbed a seat near the front. One of the nice things about this venue is that there's not really a bad seat there, due to the small size of the room. It's pretty cozy, but I like the more intimate setup for shows. I will say that we could hear the concert happening outside on the lawn throughout the set, which was a bit distracting at times but not too bad. A server will take your order right from your seat - they have a small drink menu and a couple snack options. They only had one mocktail option available - a lemonade drink which was really sweet but tasty. I wish they had the other non-alcoholic drinks that One Twenty Three offers downstairs. Drinks are pretty pricey, and I'd skip the snacks and just head to One Twenty Three for dinner before or after the show. They close out your tab automatically at the end of the night and add a 20% gratuity. You can still ask to see your bill if you want to check the total, etc. I think this is useful so you don't have to flag down your server to close out your tab if it's busy. I still really like this venue, and will continue to seek out shows here.

The staff may seem rough on the outer edges, but they are all actually teddy bears once you get to know them. Usually shows are standing room only, which is a drag if you are old like me and opt not to wear orthotics. Luckily, the 9 pm encore show was seated. My old bones appreciated this. Now look below as I'm fangirling in the attached photos! I absolutely adore Alok and their courage to humorously challenge the gender binary and systematically poke holes in the patriarchal system that comprises The USA.

The lineups are often pretty diverse, now offering more local music and the addition of more free events to bring together the community. They've added vintage nights, trivia, and free pinball days which I think is a very important and necessary community good. The venue has a front half with a bar, pinball cabinets, and even some outdoor seating. The back hosts the concert venue with interior bar, seating, and elevated stage. I'm allergic to alcohol so I can't speak to the drinks nor the prices but they have free water jugs readily available which is a lifesaver during shows and is just such a small, nice feature to have access to. I definitely would recommend coming here for a concert, finding some new local music, or establishing a new hang out for your friends.

There is a large bar and they have an extensive list of rotating taps of house-brewed microbrews. My husband had the Livery Lite, reasonably priced at $5. I had the house made seltzer with blueberry lemonade flavor. They are known for their pizzas, so we each ordered a slice. My husband had an Italian Sausage and I have Goat Cheese with Herbs. The slices were large, but the pizza was disappointing. It was a thin, crispy crust with seasoning. Since the pizza was already made and being warmed in a warmer the flavors were not as robust and the cheese was not melted or gooey. If the pizza was fresh from the oven I am sure it would have been better. There is a large indoor space and outdoor beer garden. There is a stage for live events.

They also had Two Hearted and all the macros your heart could desire. I was interested in the ice cold Jägermeister machine behind the bar, but as this trip's DD, I have no opinions on that for you this time. Best of all, the lady's room wasn't disgusting at all!!!

My family has had the kids burger (small, slider size) but REALLY GOOD, tons of cheddar cheese melting off it, pizza which was great, bacon-wrapped hot dog, great, and we all love the waffle fries and the seasoning on them. I haven't had a bad beer yet, but I recommend the Mortarhead IPA is it's one of the best IPAs I've had in a while! Haven't tried dessert there yet, but it's likely in my future. They have seating to accommodate small or large groups (we were 6 yesterday and had plenty of room in a both). Lots of TVs, which isn't always my favorite, but I appreciate that Bob Ross was on one of them, lol! Overall, this place is great, and we intend to keep going back here!
