Blackbird Ordinary

With the addition to their ladies night, Blackbird Ordinary has quickly become one of my favorite places in Miami. Casual ambience, great drinks, friendly bartenders, and Jenga? Blackbird has it all.

The outside patio is beautiful, and occasionally has food vendors on the side. It feels like there's always something going on at Blackbird, so you're pretty much guaranteed a good night any time you decide to visit.

Ladies: Try the Blackbird for free on ladies night. It'll usually cost you $10. I downed five of these things last time I visited! So delicious. I believe it has green tea, vodka and blackberry, served in crushed ice, and topped with blackberries and mint. You don't even realize you're drinking an alcoholic beverage!

Disclaimer!!!!! This rating is only for the happy hour and hidden kitchen.
I frequently go here on weekends for drunken jenga but when i found out about the happy hour and hidden kitchen from 5-10, i decided i needed to try it out. Happy hour consist of half off drinks, which is a common happy hour feature in Miami. The "hidden kitchen" or more like "hidden menu," basically goes a little something like this......you ask a waiter around 5-7 PM if you can order from the hidden kitchen menu, they laugh and think they're funny and tell you they can't because it's hidden. After you get over the agonizingly painfully stupid joke, 10 minutes later you get the menu. There's like 5 items for $5 each. You get excited because there is white truffle Mac and Cheese, when it comes to you, it looks like a sample you get at Costco. Still hungry and sipping on a blackbird drink that has too much rosemary and ice, you decide it is time to go to burger and beer and get some REAL food.

Lesson: In a city full of awesome happy hour food deals, don't waste your time and excitement here.

My boyfriend and I love Blackbird! Mostly we've gone a little later on a Friday night after happy hour. Always great music, they won me over with Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears right before they played Reggae.

We plan on going earlier next time to enjoy all of what Blackbird has to offer
