BLACKBIRD ORDINARY....

Do you know what I like to do when I am extremely frustrated and feel like nothing is going right. I love to dance!!!!

What a relief, something about dancing for me, is so freeing, especially when the DJ is playing good music. Or better yet, GREAT music.

The one place that I can’t get sick of going to is this tiny little hole in the wall bar/club that is in Brickell. It is called BALCKBIRD ORDINARY. I was a bit late in discovering this place. I’ve heard about it a lot, it is where a different crowd goes. You have a mixture of everyone there; I have met so many kinds of people from different places all around the world.

Now I have never been the type to go bar to bar, or club hopping. I am a creature of habit and when I like something I stick with it until I’m so sick of it.

There is something about the atmosphere the vibe that you get; kind of like people don’t care so much, I like that! There is no dress code; all you have to do is wear clothes. It is very different from south beach. Which, I never really was a fan of south beach. As a kid yes (kid I mean at 16 years old when you were never ID as a girl) I would go to south beach a lot.

Something about Blackbird, walking into the dark room, where the first thing you see is the bar, and to your right of the entrance is some tables, where people can sit and socialize with their friends, or play a board game and drink the night away. To your left of the entrance the first thing you see is the DJ booth and you see a cluster of blackbirds on the wall. If you walk past the bar and head like you are going outside, (to me I like to call it the back yard). There is a pool table to your left. Now once you head outside you are greeted by another bar, and picnic style tables, and a wall of herbs. There is a stage all the way to the back of the backyard.

That is where I have seen so far two bands perform, exceptional performers I might add.

That’s what I like about this bar, they have had many performers, and they support the local bands and talent from Miami and other places.

I have seen the likes of Ketchy Shuby my favorite Miami band, and then as well I have seen "THE" Lee Fields, who both are so amazingly talented and great performers.

This place is something where I can let go, and forget all the stresses of life that go on.

I especially enjoy going on a Saturday night, because usually you will find one of the DJ’s that I like a lot playing there.

 DJ Sharpsound is bad ass!!!

The music that he fuses together is crazy, you would never think of mixing the songs together.  One second he can be playing Guns and Roses welcome to the jungle, then he mixes in come on Eileen by the Dexys Midnight Runners, he is that good.

 I've been to bars or clubs where I hated being there because the music just sucked ass. 

When I go to BLACKBIRD I have to mentally prepare myself that I will be coming out of there drenched of sweat, and know that the next day I will be sore and in a lot of pain on parts of my body that I never thought I could be sore. That is only due to the fact that once I start dancing I don’t stop.

I recommend anyone that likes different styles of music to dance to, to go there, the drinks are really good and i think affordable then most places. 

 Go by just to check it out, they always have something going on. They play movies on certain nights, games, all different sorts of activities that really you can’t get bored being there. You don’t have to pay to get in. What else can you ask for, check out their website and see what kind of activities or performers will be there. I promise you won’t regret it.

I will leave the link and address below so you can check out their website.

Thanks for reading,
