The servers were very pleasant and did a great job getting our order and keeping our copies filled. The food was delicious. The salmon fillet with the eggs and hashbrowns for breakfast was wonderful. My wife had a "make your own omelette" and she enjoyed it thoroughly. Great place for food and especially for drinks (early for us)

The food was predictable/fine, and it came out really quickly. The bartender was efficient - friendly. She didn't hover, just checked on me from time to time. If you're looking for haute cuisine, you're in the wrong place. But if you like solid food (sports bar stuff), and decent prices, then you'll be pleased.

We stumbled upon Blackbird Ordinary because hubby was looking for a comedy show to check out after…read moredinner. We found the comedy show on EventBrite and ended up here at Blackbird Ordinary. It's located in the heart of Brickell close to Brickell City Centre and next to Talkin' Tacos. I've passed it many times and never been before. Our comedy show was at 9pm so we got there early and you enter a bar area with a small dance floor and DJ booth. The door guy told us to wait next to the doors by DJ booth. They opened the doors a little after 9pm and let us in. There's this whole other room in the back with tons of seating, a stage and bar area. Some of the decor felt a bit outdated, but it was still a cool vibe nonetheless. The space is so big and has so much potential for improvement, We snagged seating in the middle area. There were several cozy couples seating in front of the stage but 2nd row, we didn't want to get picked on the entire night. Lol. The two main hosts of the comedy show looked like they worked at Blackbird Ordinary as they had staff jackets on. They were in our opinion, the FUNNIEST!!! Everyone also got free shots with their tickets. Nice bonus! Lemondrop shots!!! Whew, it's been a hot minute since I did shots. Ha. After they started the show, they introduced several local or out of towner comedians and honestly, it was a good diverse crew of comedians. I wish we got a list of the comedians as I would like to check out their social media pages or follow them. Overall, we had such a good time and laughed so hard our faces hurt. This comedy show was like a hidden gem. Glad we found them and would love to come back and check out other comedians.

I strolled in on a Thursday afternoon and they had a happy hour of buy 1, get 1. It was a chill vibe for a Thursday but I enjoyed it bc I really came just for 1 cocktail. The blackbird drink is always my drink of choice, I love the presentation and how the cocktail stays cold up until you finish it. The service was great, the bartenders were very friendly. This place is usually busier whenever I come on the weekends but it's still a vibe during the week as well. The bartenders stated that during the week, they switch up whether the inside or outside is open. Although, on the weekends but the inside and outside patio are open. When this is going on, there are 2 different genres of music playing. It's funny because when you're inside and then walk outside, it's like you're walking into another dimension because of the change in music. I love it though! If you're in the Brickell area, you've got to check them out!

There are great places you go to for a drink. There are…read moregreat places you go to for food. And then there are places that create such a perfect environment that every night feels memorable. John Martin's Irish Pub is one of those rare places. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the history and authenticity. This is not a place pretending to be an Irish pub. The atmosphere is real, warm, and inviting. The craftsmanship of the bar, the energy of the room, and the welcoming staff create a vibe that is incredibly hard to replicate. The whiskey selection is absolutely phenomenal. If you appreciate Irish whiskey, this place is paradise. Their collection is one of the most impressive in South Florida and the bartenders truly know their craft. The food deserves just as much praise. The shepherd's pie is honestly something to die for. Rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. The fish and chips are fantastic, the classic pub dishes are executed beautifully, and every plate feels authentic. Then there is the live music. The atmosphere during live performances is electric in the best way possible. It is lively, fun, and full of energy while still being a place where you can enjoy conversation and great company. But what truly transforms a great place into a perfect place is leadership. That is where Anna comes in. I first met Anna years ago when she was managing at another venue, and I witnessed firsthand how she handles people and situations. Her professionalism, calm leadership, and ability to create a welcoming environment stood out immediately. When I discovered she had become the General Manager here, I was excited to visit again. The transformation since she took over has been remarkable. The energy of the staff, the attention to detail, and the overall experience reflect the leadership behind the scenes. Anna is the heart of this place. As someone who manages a large company and hundreds of employees, I can say with complete honesty that she is one of the most impressive leaders I have ever seen in action. She leads by example, treats people with respect, and creates an environment where both staff and guests feel valued. There is something almost unbelievable about her positivity. Every time I see her she is smiling, welcoming guests, and making sure everyone is having a great experience. It is contagious. You leave feeling happier than when you arrived. That kind of leadership is rare. John Martin's is already an incredible establishment with amazing food, incredible whiskey, and one of the best atmospheres in Coral Gables. But with someone like Anna leading the team, the place continues to get better and better. Where she goes, I will always follow. Because every time I bring friends, family, or dates here, the night ends up being unforgettable. Miami is full of places to go out. Very few reach this level. John Martin's absolutely does.

I expected a typical Irish Pub but was way off as over the holidays (and perhaps always), this place is all kinds of colorful and fun with holiday lights, loud music and a huge Miami crowd! We were able to get drinks at the bar and find a place to sit for a few (although I don't think the server was happy we sat there and maybe we were not supposed to). Either way, it was a fun place to hang for a drink, people watch and enjoy the Miami scene!

Everyone seemed to be playing. We arrived to late to join. The place was packed yet there were only two servers. Our server was running around like a chicken with her head cut off. However she managed to keep up with out party of 9. There were times we were waiting for assistance however we could see she wasn't just sitting on her ass. We order burgers, flat breads, tenders and steak tacos. Steak tacos were horrible Burgers were delicious Flatbread were good Tenders definitely looked like they were frozen tenders from the grocer. The beverages were nice not too strong but not weak. We were kinda profiled however as a black person you get use to it. My husband and brother stepped out for a smoke break..although everyone else was still seated at the table. We watched security run out after them. We laughed cause they looked stupid. When security ran out there they pretended to be looking at something when they noticed they guys were right outside the door. Irish pub we didn't expect any less. However it was kinds funny how the guy darted out after them then aimlessly looked around after he realized they were smoking a cigarette ‍

I wanted to write this place off as a touristy haunt given its location and its typical South Beach…read moreprices, but we had a really good experience here. I realized that I had not actually been to this location since it was The Playwright (or whatever it was called) 4 or 5 years ago. The updated interior is nice - very "pubby" - and they offer a good variety of seating from bar seats to high-tops to couches. Two things here that were standouts: First, the burger is one of the best burgers I've had on South Beach. So much so that I'm craving it again this morning. They've done a good job with the menu in that it still has all those bar foods that you look for in a place like this, but they've put some thought into elevating a number of items (e.g. the short rib poutine!) Second, the service was great. Our server (sorry, can't remember his name - a nice guy from Kendall) was very friendly and provided excellent service. As many reviews mention, this is definitely a place to watch a game. While we weren't there for this purpose last night, the TV setup is great and I could def see myself camping out there with a few beers on a weekend afternoon. As someone who lives in the neighborhood, I'll be back again for sure.

If you are a fan of the university of Miami and I've never been here then there is a 100% chance that you need to go! Boy if the walls in here could speak, Jimmy Johnson, Howard Schnellenberger, Dennis Erickson, Ed Orgeron, countless number of players over countless decades have all frequent in this spot. You can spend hours or perhaps days looking at the memorabilia on the wall, and the good news is the new owners are really even more friendly to the university. As far as the food and drink goes it is definitely a dive bar. The beer is cold, the drinks are strong, the food is decent. The burger and the wings are the best. Service is good and if you're ever there on a Sunday morning don't forget to say hello to Mark. Tell him Jeremy sent you!!

Katie is also pretty great but she normally works in the outside Patio and since I hate the smell of and I'm also allergic to cigarette smoke, we never get to enjoy the outside patio since smoking is allowed out there. The atmosphere is pretty lively on weekends and later into the evenings during the week and we usually end up bumping into friends and neighbors, so for us it's always good time at Bryson's. Burgers are pretty yummy and I've had several different types of sandwiches which are always good. The seasoned Fries and Bacon Cheddar fries are my favorite. I usually get extra seasoning on the side because I love it on my popcorn! That way I can bring leftover seasoning home to sprinkle it over my popcorn. Don't knock it till you try it! LOL

Make sure to check them out. Drinks are not watered down but always well-balanced and potent. My go-to is their Old Fashioned, of course, but I have a new favorite called Urban Cowboy. It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty. You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back!
