10 Best Breweries in Richmond Heights

"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"

"For craft beer nerds, J. 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."

"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."

"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."

"Located north of Downtown Miami, Veza Sur Brewing Co. stays true to its Latin-American roots, right in the creative Wynwood neighborhood. Veza Sur doesn’t disappoint with creativity either. Recently, they dropped a coffee porter slushy with Twix bars on top."

"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"

"Located in Fort Lauderdale, 30 miles north of Miami, a trip to Riverside Market is worth every second spent in I-95 traffic. What awaits is a selection of over 650 craft beer bottles carefully displayed in self-serve coolers around the shop and 20 drafts in constant rotation. It’s a thrilling game of hops-and-seek here—you never know what owner Julian Siegel has stocked on any given day."

"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."

"Caribbean , Cuban ,  Bar"

"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."

"A handy pit stop before or after visiting the Everglades National Park, the Gator Grill is a white shack with picnic tables, where you can munch on all manner of alligator dishes. There are gator tacos, gator... American in Big Cypress & Ochopee"

"When it’s raining or cold at the heart of the Everglades, adventurers head over to the Gator Grill, an interesting all-American restaurant in downtown Homestead, right outside of the Everglades."

"Vegan and plant-based diets have slowly been gaining popularity around the country, and Miami is no different. While some older establishments in the scene have come and gone, we're happy that Planta (a fully plant-based restaurant on South Beach) is still making a splash since its opening. The original Planta opened in Toronto several years back, and when hospitality-and-entertainment mogul David Grutman happened upon the vegan Canadian favorite, he decided to bring it back to the 305."

"Across the causeway, Dave Grutman’s first foray into vegan dining stands in stark contrast to the vibe at his other property, legendary Miami Beach nightclub LIV. But no matter, the 100 percent plant-based menu at Planta delivers. Pizzas, burgers and dumplings get the vegan treatment along with a full sushi bar rolling up maki and nigiri stuffed with watermelon, mushrooms and carrots to mirror the taste and texture of fish."

"From a mouth-watering Planta burger ($19.95) to steamed dumplings ($11.75), the South Beach vegan hot spot is satisfying those quarantine cravings. Open for delivery or pickup from Tuesday through Saturday from 3 to 9 p.m. and available on Postmates, Uber Eats and Door Dash."

"Enjoy everything from a vegan acai to start your day to a delectable bowl of vegan mac and cheese to end your evening at Love Life Cafe. They also have dairy free cheesecake, vegan apple cobbler, and vegan ice cream to satisfy your sweet tooth. Visit them in Wynwood or at the Time Out Market in Miami Beach."

"Vegetarian , Vegan"

"Jamaican sun soup, kelp noodle pasta al pesto and superfood arepas are just some of the hearty plant-based dishes waiting for you at health food haven Manna. The clean, minimalist space is a plant-based staple for downtown Miami’s 9-5 crowd. Grab a table amidst the office suits and peruse the list of veggie-packed bowls, noritos (burritos wrapped in nori) and arepas that pair perfectly with a slice of strawberry tiramisu and one of Manna’s creamy nut mylks."

"Their life bowls, baked treats, hot soups, nori wraps, and nut mylks are insane. Aside from a few dishes containing raw honey, the entire menu is vegan and gluten-free. Every item is extremely colorful and aesthetically pleasing, so it's not just a great spot to expand your vegan food knowledge, but also a great place for fancy Instagram posts."

"This airy, stylish eatery has wowed diners with its plant-based menu loaded with superfoods. Filling 'life bowls,' arepas (corn cakes) and noritos (like a burrito but wrapped with seaweed rather than a tortilla)... Thai in Little Havana"

"A post shared by Casa Tua Cucina (@casatuacucina) on Oct 11, 2018 at 6:08am PDT. Tucked away inside a gorgeous boutique hotel in Miami Beach, this upscale Italian favorite is perfect for romantic evenings and special occasion dinners. Savor creamy, refreshing burrata with organic tomatoes and fresh basil to start, then dig into the famous ricotta cavatelli pasta, flavorful beef tenderloin with seared foie gras and toasted hazelnuts, or succulent Taylor Bay scallops with Ligurian olive oil."

"To slip away from the throngs of Lincoln Road for a more intimate, upscale experience, reserve a table at Italian favorite Casa Tua; it’s located nearby on a quiet side street. #GoNative tip:A gratuity is automatically added to most bills in popular Miami Beach restaurants."

"The gist: Giorgio Rapicivoli gets into his Italian roots, opening up shop along Coral Gables’ sunny Giralda Plaza.The food: We knew it was only a matter of time until Chopped champ and local restaurant impresario Giorgio Rapicivoli delved into the world of Italian cuisine. As expected, he’s put some genius twists on the standards, like wagyu beef carpaccio with crispy sunchokes and little gem lettuce with cacio y pepe dressing. The pastas are all worth a try, though the short rib Bolognese will have you rethinking every meat sauce you’ve ever had."

"Luca is Giorgio Rapicavoli’s delicious salute to his home country, serving up modern interpretations of Italian classics. Why we love it: We know this is a restaurant list, but we’re going to lead with cocktails. Luca’s impressive list of Italian standards and reinvented classics deserves serious praise."

"I woke up at 6:43am the morning after having dinner at Luca Osteria, an Italian restaurant in Coral Gables, and panicked. I realized I forgot the leftovers in the car. So I got up and retrieved the last bits of perfectly al dente cacio pepe, and citrusy bucatini alle vongole with tender manila clams."

"A new dining experience at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach will transport guests to Northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region without ever leaving Miami Beach. Osteria Morini, from the group behind Michelin-starred Marea and Ai Fiori in New York City, features authentic, soulful pasta dishes, high-quality grilled meats and seafood and decadent Italian desserts such as tiramisu and gelato. Savor a delicious meal at the restaurant’s 1,000-square-foot sun-soaked patio or the warm dining room adorned with pistachio-colored velvet banquettes and floating Italian Murano glass-domed lights."

"From the team behind Michelin-stared Marea and Ai Fiori comes Miami Beach’s latest Italian destination, Osteria Morini. Perched on the Collins Canal inside the Kimpton Palomar South Beach, it boasts cuisine from Northern Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region like seafood salad, prosciutto and mortadella meatballs, ricotta gnocchi in a black kale pesto, squid ink pasta, pistachio-crusted duck breast, and more."

"Fifth location of upscale, New York-based Italian eatery by the Altamarea Group. Located inside the Kimpton Hotel Palomar with dining for 100, waterfront patio dining for 45, and 15 bar seats. Where: 1750 Alton Road, South Beach"
