15 of the Best Restaurants in the Fort Lauderdale Area
"This family-owned hangout is Miami’s first craft beer brewery. Wynwood Brewing Company has its own 15-barrel brew house and tap room, and was launched with the goal of introducing Miami beer drinkers to local South Florida beers. On the menu, find six of its own: La Rubia Blonde Ale, Wynwood IPA India Pale Ale, the medal-winning Pop’s Porter Robust Porter, Lock On Dry-Hopped Lager, Father Francisco Belgian-Style Golden Ale and other seasonal brews."
"The craft beer scene is here in South Florida with the opening of the Miami Brewing Company—the region’s first craft brewery—at Schnebly Redland’s Winery in Homestead. The family-owned operation uses the tropical fruits and flavors..."
"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–7pm. Standout beer: La Rubia"
"Wakefield consistently serves up some of the best craft brews in the area, direct from its Star Wars-themed brewery and tap room in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. El Jefe, a German Hefeweizen brewed with coconut flakes, is a long-time favorite here, but the special releases are gems to keep an eye out for."
"If you’ve ever heard of “that Star Wars bar in Miami,” J. Wakefield Brewing is the place. Named for its owner, this Wynwood haunt was started by self-made brewmaster, John Wakefield, and debuted in 2015. Since then, it has become one of Miami’s most popular breweries, both for its beer and décor."
"Bars Breweries Wynwood. Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 5–7pm. Standout beer: El Jefe"
"A newer addition to Wynwood’s brewery scene, Veza Sur is the fusion of two very successful breweries, Bogota Beer Company and 10 Barrel Brewing Company. Both a neighborhood hangout and trendy bar, Veza Sur welcomes guests to come and stay for a while with its communal seating, “casa”-like atmosphere, open spaces and even a garden. As for the drinks, visitors can expect house-made craft beers with Latin and American roots, popular micheladas, beer cocktails, and the famous ice-cold Brazilian Chopp lager."
"If you are looking for a trendy Wynwood brewery, then check out Veza Sur. The large black wall branding the brewery is extremely hard to miss. 10 Barrel Brewing Company and Colombia’s Bogata Beer Company joined together to provide an interesting and cozy location that has a feel reminiscent of a home library or den. On the menu, you will find choices that include:"
"With about a dozen specialty beers on tap (plus seasonal selections) and another half-dozen or so microbrews in bottle, Titanic may not have the biggest selection, but there's no arguing that this brewery and restaurant has the most flavorful, carefully crafted beer in town. 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."
"In 1982 two Florida International University students in their early twenties, Patrick Gleber and Kevin Rusk, helped transform Miami's oldest bar, Tobacco Road, from a decrepit, crime-ridden dive into one of the most popular food and music venues in the county. Then came Fishbone Grille, continuing a tradition of excellent food at a moderate price. So in 1997, when Rusk announced he was going to start a brew pub in Coral Gables, it seemed a recipe for success."
"Focal Brewing Co.is a locally owned brewery right in the heart of Little River. Stop in for the daily happy hour (starts at 5 pm) with fantastic music. It’s great for pop, rock, and jazz listeners!"
"Bars Breweries Little River. Happy hour: Yes, Fri 4–7:30pm. Standout beer: Honey Blonde"
"Review: Guava Wheat beer is phenomenal, unique industrial area surroundings. A large, beautiful brewery located in Hialeah. Unbranded Brewing Co. is a fascinating space with overhanging plants, outdoor seating, and lovely outdoor murals."
"EST.33 Thai Craft Brewery & Kitchen is set to opened early this year inside Brickell City Centre. The restaurant features Asian flavors that meet the distinctive techniques of American barbecue complemented by Thai craft brews. When we tried the creative eatery we were blown away by the flavors and service, all set in an open terrace on the fourth floor."
"33 is a Thai brewery and restaurant located in the Brickell City Centre. They serve things like red curry crab croquettes, lemongrass chicken, and pad Thai."
"Imagine rows of chilled beer refrigerators lining the wall, stocked to the brim with colorful cans and bottles of craft beer. What brew to try is a difficult decision. The Riverside Market And Cafe stocks their coolers with a selection of over 550 different craft beers from far and wide."
"Head to Riverside Market with the family to enjoy good food in a casual atmosphere that encourages perfect strangers to get to know each other. The restaurant has toys for the kids to keep them occupied while the food is cooking, and couches and arm chairs to help the adults relax."
"Riverside Market is a sweet spot in Fort Lauderdale with comfy couches to chill and drink a nice cold beer. It's earned the name "Fort Lauderdale's Official Craft Beer Hangout" so let's go hang and drink some craft beer, pls and thx."
"5 out of 5 stars Restaurants Miami. What kid doesn’t love grilled cheese?. The award-winning food truck’s permanent location in the Upper Eastside serves up some of the ooey-est, gooey-est and most creative cheese sandwiches in the city—like the Frito Pie Melt with house-made chili, American cheese and Fritos on sourdough bread."
"The signature teal food truck stamped with a “sexy maven” pin-up character once rolled around Wynwood selling a single American staple: grilled cheese. But Ms. Cheezious—which has earned awards for Best Food Truck and now has two brick and mortar locations in MIMO—is not your average sandwich spot. You won’t find a grilled cheese on the menu that is simply bread and cheese."
"The solo debut by Miami’s own Top Chef winner, Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed is a cozy-yet-hip South of Fifth spot turning out some of the city’s most elevated cuisine. While there is a complete a la carte menu with dishes like ricotta gnudi, warm celery root with crispy mushrooms, and smoked prime rib, the real highlight here is the tasting menu, where guests can try a bevy of classics and seasonal creations, plus get some of its melt-in-your mouth gooey snickerdoodle cookies to take home to remember the meal."
"If you’re looking for a nice dinner spot in South of Fifth - maybe to celebrate a special occasion or just the fact that you made it across the MacArthur in less than five minutes - Stubborn Seed is the best place to go. It’s a small spot that feels like an old-school cocktail lounge that ran into a steel mill, with lots of dark wood and metal pipes lining the leather booths. The reason you come here, though, is for the excellent food, which changes up regularly, but always includes lots of fresh seafood."
