About Living Room
The Living Room was a beloved listening venue in Brooklyn, originally located in Manhattan's Lower East Side before moving to Williamsburg in 2014. With a capacity of about 180, it offered an intimate setting across a main room featuring roughly 16 tables and a smaller upstairs area known as Googies Lounge. Although the venue closed in December 2015 and has since been slated for redevelopment, its memory lives on in the stories of intimate performances by Norah Jones, CMJ-era showcases, and appearances by singer-songwriters like The Lumineers. This page preserves essential historical details and provides practical context for fans researching the venue, its location, and nearby amenities.
Address: 134 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11249. The living room’s legacy sits in a neighborhood well-served by transit and surrounded by hotels and dining options, making it a reference point for Brooklyn's music scene history.
