Artistic Vibes

This place is a gem in the Falls area. It’s a little hidden, located in a nondescript warehouse along a long row of building you may not notice, but go inside and it transforms. It’s black walls filled with amazing drawings, graffiti, and art in general.
I usually go Thursday nights. It’s open mic! It’s BYOB (although there’s a bar in the back)! It’s supporting local music and performers! It’s so so much fun! A couple of tips: bring cash because this place is cash only, come early because the good seats get taken fast, if you bring your own wine, bring cups (i’ve even brought a mini cooler), be prepared to laugh!
I really enjoy coming here and seeing what the local Miami preforming scene is all about.

Great place to have a great time and great laughs… Staff was amazing and my group of friends and I had an amazing time. It was my first time and I was worried at first, but as soon as the show started, WHOA… Amazing… Def going back

Wait, you’re telling me that there’s a place in Miami where I can go to a comedy show, or open mic and laugh for hours, support the local arts, and have a fun night out with friends for a couple of bucks?! YES!
I found out about Artistic Vibes through a friend, and we both decided to spend our Friday night there since they had a Broadway themed Comedy Show. We didn’t know what to expect and had very low expectations because, at the end of the day, tickets were only $ 10. We got to Artistic Vibes and the place looked completely sketchy, like a warehouse! At that point, we were questioning our decision to spend our night there.
As soon as we walked in, our jaws dropped. Definitely don’t judge a book by its cover. As we walked into Artistic Vibes, we saw that it was a beautiful place. The place is beautifully decorated, and I felt like I was in a small studio in Chicago, NY, or San Francisco. There are chairs, couches, and everything in between so you can sit wherever you want.
My favorite thing about Artistic Vibes is that it felt like home. Quill, one of the hosts, made us feel like we were at home. The place is just so chill and laid back in so many levels. For example, it’s BYOB, and you can even bring your food inside, too. They do sell food outside, though, and inside you can buy popcorn ($ 2), beer ($ 4), and even wine!
The show itself was just hilarious. I cried from laughter and by the end of the show my mouth was hurting from laughing so hard. These comedians are ruthless and had no boundaries! They were so inappropriate, but that was my favorite thing. You get real comedy, from real people. You feel the love these people put in their show.
I definitely loved Artistic Vibes, and it’s another hidden gem in Miami. I am glad places like these exist so upcoming artists can get the chance to be onstage while entertaining a public that’s hungry for humor and art. I shall be back.

Great place to come and check out the local art scene.
Nestled in a long row of buildings you might not see it at first glance.
Once inside it’s all black and grungy. Art along the walls, and beer in the back. Just the way it should be. Some tables, couches and chairs are placed throughout the space for seating.
Went there for a comedy show to be followed by an Open Mic night. The show was lots of funny local comics given 8 minutes to make us laugh. Some did that more than others. But all got at least a few chuckles.
Afterwards there was an open mic. Some came up and did poetry and others sang and played guitars. Everyone was respectful and enjoyed themselves.
They do all kinds of events and they are definitely worth checking out.

Let’s say you’re a local artist (comedian, musician, poet, actor — whatever your medium) and you want to share your artistry. Where do you go?
Artistic Vibes.
Let’s say you don’t want to stay home and watch Netflix or go to the movies — you want to experience live entertainment, but you don’t want to spend a lot of money. Where do you go?
Artistic Vibes.
Let’s say you rent warehouse space and make it a destination for artists from all over — to the point your open mic is given the title of the BEST open mic by the readers of Miami New TImes. What would you call that?
Artistic Vibes.
This inviting artistic space is a gem that is valued by those that know.
If you appreciate the arts, you should get familiar with AV.
EDIT: BTW, they also have classes and activities for all ages. It’s not just show space, AV cultivates artistic endeavors and Miami’s artistic future.

Went last night for Thursday open mic. It was a lot of fun. Where else can you get great entertainment for only $ 5?! I was impressed with the talent of everyone who performed.
It was hard to find in the warehouses behind the Outback, but I just looked for all the cars coming in.
They have beer and wine and some other snacks. I was crazy hungry and the pizza place close by delivered the best pizza ever.
Cozy couches and some chairs with small tables made the place super chill and great for friends to hangout or date night.
I hate clubs and driving far, so this is perfect for me.
I had tons of fun and hope to be back with more friends.

This venue has shows and productions that range from children to adults. I love the fact that they give people of all ages an outlet for creativity. I went to one of their monthly themed comedy shows and was blown away. They also have afterschool programs for kids, and even open mic nights for children to let our future stars shine. Simply awesome.

This is a wonderful venue for local artists and anyone that enjoys live entertainment & the best part is that it’s really affordable. It’s such a welcoming, encouraging & supportive environment. I love Artistic Vibes they make you feel like family. I have grown so much as a performer because of having a place near my house that I could go on a regular bases to practice my craft & the comfy sofas make you feel right at home. I love Artistic Vibes it’s my home away from home. lol

If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget, have always wanted to do stand up, play an instrument and need an audience… this is your place to go.
Conceived as a way to grow local artists and talent, AV now claims some of the best stand up comedians, incredible local bands, and South Florida’s budding young artists.
With a few couches, chairs, and a lot of heart this little enclave in the Falls Arts District will leave you with the biggest sense of community.
Every week these talented troupe offers various venues for the local arts scene. Thursdays is usually open mike night for new and continuing acts, they hold several workshops to encourage local artists, and watch out for Laugh Attack, their monthly variety show with incredible comics taking the stage.

I almost didn’t want to write this updated review because I do enjoy the fact that this place is still, pretty much, undiscovered by many. After all, I am a man in his 40s that in the 1980s and 1990s, the real venues were held in warehouses. Hence, why I love coming here so much. It brings back memories of a young man long gone. Don’t worry, I’m not the oldest person that comes here.
Long story short, last night they had their Halloween-​themed Event. I wanted to go last year but, I couldn’t convince myself to go. Why? Because in reality, away from a decent internet connection, I am really a very timid individual. This was my first time EVER going to any Halloween-​themed Event. The comedians were fabulous. They even had Jesus up there last night and some man in a wheelchair telling jokes. I’m still not sure if the wheelchair was part of his costume or if he is indeed Cripple. Since «Jesus» didn’t perform a miracle on stage and made him do back flips, I’m guessing it was not part of a costume. But, I digress.
Again, I am going to hate myself in the future for writing this review. It’s not just comedy, they also have workshops with children. That being, the main reason I like them. Go on their web-​site where you will be able to see what they are all about. Thursdays, is open-​mic for those that want to give it a try in front of a not so large honest audience. This already is getting crowded so call in advance to save your spot.

If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget, have always wanted to do stand up, play an instrument and need an audience… this is your place to go. Conceived as a way to grow local artists and talent, AV now claims some of the best stand up comedians, incredible local bands, and South Florida’s budding young artists. With a few couches, chairs, and a lot of heart this little enclave in the Falls Arts District will leave you with the biggest sense of community. Thursdays is open mike and all are welcome. I rarely give reviews like this, but Quills (the resident poet and latina loudmouth) and her partner Vanessa (the most talented and amazing actress) have really made this a place where you’ll end up feeling like family.

Coming from someone who never appreciated the arts to its fullest potential, A/​V doesn’t only broaden your horizons to new forms of art but brings a new appreciation to the arts in Miami. You don’t need to spend 100’s on plays where you have to wear fancy clothes to attend a fancy smancy theater and pretend to be someone you aren’t. This place isn’t stuffy one bit. And the best part about it is you are learning about different «Art» cultures and not even realizing it. CHECK IT OUT its worth every penny and then some.
