    This is the Chicken Noodle Soup NO NOODLES . they sould call it carrot and celery soup.
    Cliff J.

    Just want to mention the lobby bar and restaurant called 1601. The food is typical hotel food nothing special. I ordered as my 1st thing Chicken Noodle Soup. The soup contained a lot of carrots and celery and 6 very small pieces of chicken smaller than a thumb nail and NO NOODLES.

    Old fashion for the win. Nice pour for $20

    Mid day but the drinks were well prepared and the staff was friendly. Prices we a bit high but at a hotel bar not too steep. Nice upscale feel

    Love the vibe here! $5 Happy Hour Drinks between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm DJ spinning the vinyls Great energy! Mario was our waiter and he was cool, calm, collected and met our every need. Sign said no playing cards while in restaurant/bar area but people were allowed to sit for hours with their computer. Not sure why you can't have a cocktail and play cards. They add a 20% tip to the bill which is ok but it's not typical. We had a great time!

    Food was mediocre, very slow service, and overpriced for quality and service. They add the tip automatically and as a server I don't think our server earned a $26 tip

    You're better off grabbing a coffee and food at Subway in the ground level. Better priced and way better service.

    The first drink is the Mindful Mule.

    I don't have any complaints of the bar, I came mid day between breakfast and lunch and had great service from the bar. All of my drinks were good, the beef empanadas had a lot of meat but not much else in them. I'm a bit of a foodie so I wanted more flavor than beef. They were still decent though.

    Still decent. Avoid Philly cheesesteak though as it's just covered in slices of American cheese!

    We were staying in the Hilton Miami Downtown pre-cruise and almost didn't go to the 1601 lounge due to poor reviews. However, after a long day of travel I'm glad I didn't have the energy to go anywhere else! 1601 was fantastic! We went with zero expectations and we're pleasantly surprised. Our waiter Alex was on point and attentive! We had the beef empanadas, Miami churrasco, and the fudge brownie for dessert the food was so delicious! My chocolate martini with dessert was icing on the cake.

    We stopped here on Thirsty Thursday and had a great time. We enjoyed the Bimini Sampler which was a delicious way to try a bunch of apps. We also enjoyed the Caribbean Mango Chutney Shrimp. The shrimp had a grea combination of spice and a little bit of sweetness. The Pizza Bianca Four Cheese was also tasty As for drinks the Bahama Mama and Bimini Bliss Cocktail were both excellent.

We made a reservation prior to coming because in order to make it inside you need to book a reservation. The establishment is small which is why you have to reserve. We came at around 10:45 and our reservation was for 11:00. They sat us down right away. The vibes are chill and cool, there's a dj playing music. It was like house, tech vibes. The music was great and people were enjoying their time. We had 1 cocktail each and went on our way because we just came to check out the spot honestly. I had the fabulous martini which has a purple hue to it, it was very refreshing. I love that they garnish it with a lavender. The espresso martini was made with Don Julio Reposado, and had real fresh espresso as per the menu. It was good but a bit strong too! We had asked for an extra shot of espresso on the side just as a pick me up. But our server told us that it comes cold, which is odd because the menu literally says freshly brewed espresso in the cocktail description. It was fine though, we still enjoyed the drinks. Overall, our experience was nice! If you are ever in the Hialeah area, you should totally check this spot out. They also have bites you can order but we were full from dinner and didn't get a chance to try anything. Definitely have to come back to try some more cocktails and grab some bites!

The ambiance is pretty standard sports bar vibes -- nothing particularly memorable or unique, but comfortable enough for game days and casual hangouts. Food-wise, it felt average for a sports bar. Nothing stood out as especially delicious or something you would come back for on its own. It's more of a place to enjoy drinks, watch sports, and spend time with friends rather than a destination for food.

    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!
