Ball and Chain has a history as rich and vibrant as the Calle Ocho neighborhood. It is an ideal place to enjoy live music and entertainment with friends in the heart of Miami. 

Alex Del Bosque is the restaurant's general manager and has been in charge of this great position for 4 years now, starting as a general assistant and working his way up. Originally from Mexico, he has been in this great city for more than 20 years. It is a place where you can listen to quality music and enjoy the best drinks in the area. 

Music has always been the soul of this great place, in the 30s/40s it was consolidated as a place for African-American culture. The figures that can be seen on its walls are the musicians who prevailed at that time and who came to the place to play live.
