The city’s craft beer scene has seen an explosion of success and beer styles that can’t be beat. If you’re looking to dive into the scene, Wynwood is actually the perfect place to start. Renown as one of the most vibrant and artistic neighborhoods for its murals and graffiti, hidden behind all the colors is an appealing destination for beer lovers.
Here are some great places grab a cold one in this warm weather and start the week off right in Miami’s Wynwood District. It’s important to note that they’re all within walking distance, making it perfect for bar hopping!
1. Wynwood Brewing Company
If you’re looking for a fun, lively space to hang out and grab some quality suds, head on over to Wynwood Brewing Company. This is actually Miami’s first-ever craft brewery and they continue to be a leader in the industry. Admire the artwork on the walls, settle in at one of their wooden tables and select a drink — or a few — from their great beer selection, like La Rubia ale or Pop’s Porter.

2. Dogfish Head Miami
This is a local outpost of Delaware’s Dogfish Head beers, a favorite among craft beer fans. You’ve probably seen their beers at a grocery store or while dining out at a restaurant. Known for their classics like the 60 and 90 minute IPAs, this is a good open space with a lot of beers on tap and bottles ready to go. The food menu features tapa items like bao bun barbacoa, tacos, cheeseburgers, salads, waffle fries and empanadas. Dogfish Head also has a collaboration with local music shop Sweat Records where they feature vinyls on site that pair perfectly with your favorite brew.

Inspired by Cuba’s oldest brewery (and now Miami’s youngest), this super chill brewing space, taproom and botanical garden has plenty of breezy outdoor seating to enjoy its tropical-inspired pints of cerveza along with scrumptious Caribbean bites like yucca fries, tostones, jamon croquetas, tequeños and more. In Wynwood fashion, there are colorful murals and art made by local artists on the property, as well as a stage for live music.

4. J Wakefield Brewing
Pop in to John Wakefield’s taproom and find a great collection of stouts and a space decked out in Marvel and Star Wars murals (think of it as the Miami Mos Eisley Cantina). They also have a great patio that features more artwork to gaze at. Named after its owner, this one-of-a-kind spot’s signature classics include El Jefe coconut-infused Hefeweizen, Hops 4 Teacher IPA and their renown crafted sours.

5. Veza Sur Brewing Co.
This Miami-born brewery is a favorite, even when it comes to non-beer drinks. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon or night with a group of friends, especially in their breezy courtyard. Veza Sur’s Latin-inspired beers (cervezas, if you will) take inspiration from South Florida’s melting pot of culture. They’re brewed with fresh flavors like mango, strawberries, lulo and guava to really take you to the tropics with just a sip. There are also micheladas and beer cocktails to choose from.
