Located in the heart of downtown Nashville, The Listening Room Cafe is a one-of-a-kind venue that combines live music with elevated dining in a warm, intimate setting. Housed in the iconic International Harvester building- where Johnny Cash once built his infamous tractor - the space is steeped in Nashville history. Known for showcasing the city’s top singer songwriters, we offer a true Music City experience - perfect for private events, corporate gatherings, and unforgettable celebrations.
The Main Room at The Listening Room delivers Nashville’s best live music and songwriter rounds in an intimate, premium-sound setting. With cutting-edge audio, great food and drinks, and space for 255 seated or 450 standing guests.
Our semi-private Front Bar is a relaxed and intimate area located just off the main room. With warm lighting and full bar service, it comfortably accommodates up to 100 guests for a cocktail-style gathering.
The VIP Balcony offers an elevated view of the main stage and seats up to 45 guests. Featuring comfortable seating and an optional dedicated bar, it provides a more private vantage point while still being part of the full Listening Room experience.
Whether you’re planning a private writer’s round, corporate gathering, or unforgettable celebration, The Listening Room Cafe offers the perfect mix of Nashville charm, top-tier hospitality, and live music magic. With multiple unique spaces, full food and beverage service, and a dedicated events team we’re here to bring your vision to life.
