    Trivia Night
    LaToya L.

    I went to the Merry Widow on Trivia night. It was my first time there and I had a great time. The bartenders were nice and the Cabernet was really good. The bar has nice open space and great sitting areas. I can't wait to go back for another Trivia night

    Their bottles of alcohol are filled with half water half alcohol. It's Mardi Gras so I understand, but I ordered a DOUBLE Tito's soda and cranberry watched the bartender pour the drink at least half way full of "vodka." When I tried the drink I thought it hadn't been mixed enough that's why I couldn't taste the alcohol. But I mixed the drink and squeezed my lime and there was NO taste of alcohol not even a hint. Had my multiple people try it to make sure I wasn't crazy and it tasted like watered down cranberry juice. Wouldn't be surprised to find out if they were mixing their bottles of vodka with water.

    The Merry Widow has friendly staff and a Fun laidback vibe. The Blueberry Collins with vodka was tasty and reasonably priced.

    Favorite downtown venue, bringing in some of the best burlesque from NOLA & great bands. Creative drink menu. Good staff.

    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!
