Transit Lounge: 2010-9-18

Transit Lounge is both a bar and a restaurant (www.boilerhousemiami.com). Live music and entertainment weekly, including showcases by local and national bands, ROCK BAND, RockStar Karaoke and JAM Sessions. No cover. One stage inside by the bar, one stage outside in the patio (which also has a bar) and a small stage (good for solo acts) inside the restaurant. Sound system. Pool table and board games. Cool graffiti. Artworks on walls are for sale. Street and valet parking. Takes credit cards. Open Monday through Friday, 5:00 pm - 5:00 am and Saturday through Sunday, 8:00 pm - 5:00 am. Ana said, “ . . . fun and spacious with art on the walls . . . great outside area – the location (near Brickell) takes advantage of the beautiful Miami sky line which comes to life . . . confirms why we call Miami the magic city . . . ”
