Hello!
Welcome to the first ever Welland Mayor's Youth Advisory Council blog post! We are very excited to be delivering this new content to the public and we hope you, the viewer, will enjoy it! Today, I am going to be talking about a new spot in Welland that I am very excited about! Opened only two and a half months ago, The Black Sheep Lounge has experienced incredible success and publicity in the Welland community! Locally owned by Lucas Spinosa, The Black Sheep Lounge actually used to be a run-down night club called "Times Square" before it became what it is now. Renovating this building was no small task, but Lucas and a team of workers worked tirelessly all summer to complete the job. And does the building ever look amazing, complete with a new roof, walls, floor, EVERYTHING! Every Thursday and Saturday evening, the Black Sheep can be found bustling with people and music! With a stage, amps and piano, the Black Sheep is completely set to show off some local talent! I usually visit the lounge every Thursday to listen to music, and recently the Black Sheep was showcasing a local named Sarah Boulton. She played some amazing covers but also performed a song she had only written the night before her gig! If you are interested in listening to some of her music (which I highly recommend) you can check her out on Facebook at Sarah Boulton Music! Even if you aren't interested in music, the Black Sheep offers a delicious full menu that is actually affordable. I would personally recommend the grilled cheese and the home-brewed tea, however everything on the menu is absolutely delicious. They even offer a lot of vegan options! The Black Sheep also has free wifi, so it's the perfect place to do homework while you eat some great food and listen to some excellent local talent! The address for the Black Sheep Lounge is 64 Niagara Street, right next to Spinosa's Bakery. I highly recommend this lounge and I really think you should go check it out, especially on Thursday's and Saturday's to help support the music scene in Welland. The thing I really love about the Black Sheep is the feeling you get when you walk in the front door. You can tell that it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to make the lounge into what it is now. There is just a lot of raw passion that went into the making and upkeep of that place, and that is something I can definetely appreciate that! Check out the Black Sheep on Facebook at The Black Sheep Lounge. Well, with that it's about time to end this post!
