"If you aren't careful, you could mistake the front of the graffiti-covered J. Wakefield Brewing as just another art installation in the many creative Wynwood Walls. However, this is the tap room you are looking for, complete with Star Wars décor."

Here, you’ll find a bevy of hot items (you can smell the crispy-skinned chicken fresh out of the fryer all the way from the dairy aisle) plus a decked-out sub station. Choose from either Publix brand deli meats and cheeses or splurge for Boars’ Head and while the meats might be delicious, the order that reigns supreme will always be the chicken tender sub."

Brewmaster Jamie Ray whips up at least half of the daily draught offerings, including the evocatively named Boiler Room Nut Brown Ale and Triple Screw light ale, and he keeps receiving national awards for them at competitions where the judges, for the record, never spit. Then there are all the beer-related events -- live blues-and-brews, Mug Club specials, name-that-brewski contests, University of Miami sports nights, Brewmaster dinners, free T-shirt happy hours."

So in 1997, when Rusk announced he was going to start a brew pub in Coral Gables, it seemed a recipe for success."

"Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"To try and categorize this Wynwood staple would be a disservice to its offbeat, campy aesthetic. The interior has a divey feel despite its modern, industrial-style bar top and nostalgic arcade wall. Step outside on the patio to sit at psychedelic tables underneath a canopy of trees that are colorfully lit upon sunset."

"From the outside, Gramps is an unassuming bar promising only air conditioning, cold beer, and cocktails. But Gramps delivers much more than it promises. The ever-evolving bar has weekly programming of live concerts, trivia, bingo, and drag shows."

"A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes."

"A Miami institution since 1984, Tropical Chinese has been doling out dim sum since the local food scene was not much more than a croqueta. In true pushcart fashion, diners settle in with a warm cup of tea and watch the pork buns pass by. Can’t-miss bites include dumplings on dumplings, shrimp rolls, and roasted duck."

"A post shared by Tropical Chinese Restaurant (@tropicalchinesemiami) on Jul 21, 2018 at 9:36pm PDT. Another of the critics’ favorites in Miami is Tropical Chinese Restaurant. The main reason for them to like this place is the excellent flavor and selection of dim sum."

"The atmosphere is meant to be trendy and urban, perfect for the younger folks. Their specialty is all-around varieties of dim sum made with flavorful ingredients. They serve their dim sum and other Chinese snacks with colorful and fun plating, perfect for your Instagram feed."

"Served steamed or fried, the simple dim sum menu features generous stacks of rolls, buns, and dumplings for endless helpings combinations. Available for dine-in or takeout. View this post on Instagram"
