10 Best Breweries in Plaza on Brickell

"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."

"If you couldn’t guess it, Wynwood Brewing Co. settles in the heart of the Wynwood Arts District. Wynwood Brewing Company was the first craft brewery in the area, founded by Luis Brigoni and his father, who transferred their Puerto-Rican pride into beer. They have award-winning beers Pop’s Porter and La Rubia (blonde ale)."

"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."

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 Tank Brewing Co. is one of the newer breweries in Miami, and it’s pretty impressive, too. Home to a 4,000 square-foot tap room that can host up to 600 people, go here for 16 different Miami-inspired brews on tap, like La Finca Miami, Freedom Tower, La Playita, Byronic Brown, Rye-Lingual, El Farito and more. When you need some food to soak up the alcohol, fill up on chicken chicharrones, wings, tostonnes, tempura cauliflower, ham croqueta preparada, guava manchego burger, bacon burger or the “Angry Vegetarian” and bone marrow fried chips from Twisted Fork Kitchen, which sits in-house at The Tank Brewing Co. 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166."

"At The Tank, cigars and beer don’t make for such strange bedfellows. Clocking in at 25,000-square-feet, there’s plenty of room for brewing, drinking and then lighting up a stogie at the adjacent cigar lounge. From an English-style brown ale to a tropical pale ale, the brewery’s three-barrel system allows them to crank out a new beer every week."

"Where to find it: 5100 NW 72nd Avenue, Bay A1, Miami, FL 33166. Review: Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, ambient, delicious burgers. This is one of our absolute favorite Miami bars."

"Head west and you’ll be rewarded with the self-proclaimed “weirdest brewery” in the city. The staff here might have an irreverent sense of humor, but the beer they produce is serious business. American IPAs, imperial stouts and barrel-aged browns are served up in an eclectic warehouse space, complete with cushy couches, barrel tables and a bar top featuring thousands of pennies—a shout-out to the brewery’s namesake—that have been painstakingly glued on by hand."

"Lincoln’s Beard Brewing Co. has an absolute ball putting on events like you could never predict. Before stopping by Lincoln’s Beard Brewing, check their site for any themed events going on. They did an emo-themed karaoke night recently."

"Bars Breweries Industrial Area (Tropical Park). Happy hour: Yes, Mon–Fri 4–6pm; Tue 4–11pm"

"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."

"Unseen Creatures Brewinghas the motto: “Push limits all while focusing on balance and drinkability”. These farmhouse-inspired wild ales found their place right in the heart of the Bird Road Art District in Miami. The name “Unseen Creatures” is inspired by the yeast and bacteria in beer."

"Open every day from 1pm-5am since 1995, Abbey Brewing Co. is Miami Beach’s oldest and only brew pub. At this dive bar, sip one of BrewMaster Raymond Rigazio’s Abbey house beers—which are brewed at the Indian River Brewing Company, in Melbourne, FL—or choose one of ten special Belgian or American microbrews on tap, or hard-to-find Trappist Ales, British Barley wines, port wines and a wide assortment of micro-distilled fine spirits. No matter what you order, be sure break for a cigar and a dart game."

"No Miami beer list is complete without paying its due respects to the Abbey. During South Beach’s models and bottles heyday, The Abbey was brewing delicious hand-crafted beer from its perch off of Lincoln Road. Today, the space has expanded and evolved since its opening in 1995, and features four house taps (including the Immaculate IPA and Brother Aaron’s Quadruple), 10 guest lines, and a solid bar menu."

"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."

"The Miami Selfie Museum, located in Wynwood has many colorful art installations for a variety of fun backdrops. It’s a super Instagrammable museum and one of the fun places to take pictures in Miami. From interactive rooms, donut walls, a bathtub with plastic bubbles, and much more it will make your Instagram feed super unique."

"A former Drug Enforcement Agency warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection located in Wynwood proves to be anything but conventional. Spanning 40,000-square-feet, the museum tailors the whole first floor as the “New Shamans” exhibit, which features the work of artists who hail from South America. While the downstairs transports you into an enriching world that addresses environmental, social and political concerns, the museum’s “High Anxiety: New Acquisitions” is more therapeutic: the exhibit uses art to channel and understand everyday nerves and stresses."

"It was the talk of the town during Art Basel 2020, and not without reason. The Rubells' new museum in Allapattah is by far the best permanent collection of art in South Florida, showcasing the family's vast collection of contemporary art from the '60s onward. You'll find work by Jeff Koons, Sterling Ruby, and Kehinde Wiley and a shrine-like gallery for Keith Haring."

"This massive brick edifice, a copy of the original blown up by the Germans in WWII, began life as a wooden stronghold of the dukes of Mazovia in the 14th century. Its heyday came in the mid-17th century, when it became one of Europe’s most splendid royal residences. It then served the Russian tsars and, in 1918, after Poland regained independence, became the residence of the president. Today it is filled with period furniture and works of art."

"The restaurant started as a South Florida burger chain in the ’50s, grew to 150 locations, and then nearly went out of business, leaving just one left in the Miami neighborhood of Gladeview. The world’s last Royal Castle is now run by the grandson of the first black employee to work at the company. And while that is, in fact, a great story, it wouldn’t be on this list if you couldn’t also get great food there too."

"1501 Jefferson Street The facility has four lighted tennis courts, paddleball courts, two basketball courts, 2 bocce courts, restrooms, playground equipment and a baseball/softball field."

"Take I-95 south and grab the Rickenbacker Causeway until you hit Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. This beautiful state park is right at the end of Key Biscayne and gives you uninterrupted views of the ocean—a perfect sunset watching spot. The state park has a lighthouse, where guests can climb to the top and look out into the ocean and the beach below. Next to it is a cement lookout spot that serves as a bench to watch the sunset and enjoy your Zak the Baker treats (if you didn't eat them already on the car ride down)."

"The mecca of dog parks, you can bring your pooch here to play in the fenced in green spaces where dogs can get some exercise with other canines. There’s even an outdoor space with fitness equipment, a walking path and a deck to stroll along and enjoy the Miami sights. Located in Coconut Grove just at the water’s edge, it offers a peaceful view of the open bay for a relaxing afternoon."

"Kennedy Park is located in Coconut Grove, right on the water with a view of the open bay, an outdoor gym including a green ladder you can climb up and down, a running path on an outdoor track, and a children’s play area."
