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 atmosphere alone…read moreis worth the visit--walls covered with local history, signed musician photos, Irish memorabilia, and decades of character that make the place feel authentic rather than manufactured. It has the kind of personality you can't recreate. For food, we ordered the blackened shrimp po'boy and a grilled pimento cheese sandwich with a side of creamed spinach. The shrimp were perfectly seasoned with a flavorful blackened crust, piled generously onto fresh bread, and served with crisp lettuce, tomato, and slaw. The pimento cheese sandwich was rich, buttery, and grilled to perfection, with the creamed spinach being a standout side that was surprisingly addictive. Service was friendly and attentive, and despite the restaurant's popularity, everything arrived promptly. The total for two meals and drinks came to a very reasonable price, especially considering the quality and portion sizes.
