Everyone should try going to an OCISLY ceramics events, even if you think you are not artistic! At…read morethe very least, I promise you will meet new friends and enjoy a night contributing to Miami's beautiful art community. Cristina is so patient explaining how pottery works and encourages you to be playful with what you create. Adam is also very helpful offering any advice, together they make a great team. The attention to detail does not go unnoticed, and they make everyone feel welcomed (this is very important because I understand it can be scary/intimidating to try new things! they put any fears to ease) Luckily I had the opportunity to glaze a few of my pieces, which is worth the money! I was so pleasantly surprised how quickly my pottery was fired, considering how long the process can take from start to finish. I have been to multiple OCISLY events, but one of my favorite memories was crafting matching swan coffee mugs with my partner. It was so fun to do side-by-side while surrounded by creative energy and good vibes. We cherish these mugs and pull them out often smiling at the subtle unique imperfections that make each one beautiful. Thank you to OCISLY for an amazing memory that will last for years & years. We look forward to many more clay dates!

I come here often for concerts and it's such a vibe! If you like indie, hippy, house, or afrobeats,…read moreyou'll love this spot. They also do events here sometimes so be mindful it's mostly outside with no breeze so wear sunblock/hats if it's a daytime event! Also love that they have a parking lot at the end of the street or plenty of street parking too. They have different food trucks here and so far every has been great! I love showcasing the best of Miami so find me on IG @ chloexmorgann

I came to Zey Zey to a free concert with a friend. We came to see Electric Kif, followed by The…read moreHeadhunters. The genre was fusion jazz, it fit the airy ambience perfectly. The open space is really nice, seeing the bands play in a type of oasis. There are some covered areas but not enough in case of rain. The uncovered areas include the stage. They have a decent selection of drinks, and some events and vendors inside a building. There is ample parking across the street.

If you are coming to Miami, and your calendar is manageable, make your visit land on Second…read moreSaturday. If you make it on Second Saturday, well, all galleries are open late, and many galleries offer free drinks. Many galleries also have cash bars, if you really want to hang. If you like walking around, this could be a problem. The streets are packed with art lovers. If you like to sit down, this could also be a problem. It's overcrowded, and finding a seat may be a hard commodity to find, but don't lose hope. If you come to Second Saturday, you'll have fun.

How could I have not reviewed this before?…read more I was one of the brave souls exploring Wynwood back at the beginning in '02 / '03 when Second Saturdays had a more underground feel to it and was just three or four gallery spaces. (I remember this area when I went to high school nearby and it was just the hood, but I'll leave it at that...don't want any more gray hairs to pop up!) Anyways, Wynwood / Design District has grown up and diversified now and known by the mainstream. Nowadays you're likely to see a DJ performance in front of a local (non green mermaid) coffee shop with live breakdancing, live street painting, performance art such as planking in one of the public spaces, and bands in the other . You're also likely to run into a bunch of majorly cool people around the different galleries too. Don't forget the bunch of new restaurants, plus the food trucks either! Sure, parking can be an adventure and / or overpriced ($10 for an unimproved lot where my "Eleanor" gets dirty?? ) But what would a hot night in the city be without a little adventure!

I like the Villain Theater. It's very friendly and you can tell it is very open to the community…read more We went to one of their improv shows for date night and it was very fun. I didn't get to try the food since we came from dinner. But they offer a selection of drinks. The show did run a little bit longer than expected. What's cool is that there are opportunities for you to take improv classes and also take your company here for team building.

Had such a fun time at this venue, went to see a drag show and it didn't disappoint. They had…read moreplenty of drink options, too. Everyone that worked there was great, my only complaint is the parking situation, be prepared to circle a lot or uber!

It's open again! When they were rebuilding, I thought I might not like the patio, but, wow, it…read moreworks! Good news, they expanded the bar so you can drink from both sides; there is also an autonomous bar in the patio area. The kitchen has improved 2000% and the croquetas are really good by any standard. When they opened, they had some silly tables and had removed a pool table. Thankfully they came to their senses and added a second table, so now the waits are OK. The staff is super friendly, with Flako, Claude, and the bar staff all being friendly and nice. Great place to go late to have a beer. And, yes, fly in the ointment... the beer selection is nowhere what it was before, which is normal, I suppose.

This is churchill's pub ffs, not wynwood, not Brickell. Then on top of it 18% gratuity is already added for dealing with a wave of asshole bartenders. Srsly, wtf is with all the attitude? Hate it here. OH AND THE PARKING! Used to be more plentiful with that little empty lot across the street which is now fenced in and used for nothing, now you have to pay random homeless dudes and say a prayer if you're lucky enough to even find a spot.

Such a great experience here. The manager was very nice, super welcoming and made us feel…read morecomfortable right away. We didn't originally want to sit at the bar, but we ended up doing it and it actually turned out great. The place is cozy and beautiful, and the live music was such a nice touch. It really added to the whole experience. The food was excellent everything we had was on point. The only thing I'd suggest is offering small sides of tzatziki or hummus with dishes. That would make it even better. Overall, amazing hospitality and a spot I'd definitely come back to.

The ambiance is great, very nicely decorated with a nostalgic touch and darkish colors…read more I went there with two friends for dinner, and we liked it a lot. The service was on point, and the servers were friendly and very attentive. We ordered three cold appetizers (hummus, artichoke hearts, and watermelon salad), one warm appetizer (baked feta cheese), a lamb main dish to share, and a bottle of wine. The portions were good, and the food was tasty. Everything was fresh and well combined. TIP: They have free parking spots across the street; check with the staff.

Their record selection span genres and decades. And the people that work here are the real deal! We attended for an event on Josephine Baker's impact on Miami. And I ended up speaking with the owner about the pre-Run The Jewels career of EL-P and Killer Mike! It's the kind of music appreciation conversation that I hear from professionals in niche media, but never find in real life. Support this place any way you can! Some local businesses are labors of love. It's increasingly becoming a rare thing in South Florida. Sweat Records is a jewel & deserves the praise!!!!
