3 Best Nightlife in Miami and Miami Beach, Florida

Decked out in Star Wars–theme murals, J. Wakefield was one of the first breweries to kick off Miami's booming beer scene. The taproom boasts 15 rotating taps of beer with the most popular being Miami Madness (a Florida Weisse) and El Jefe (a coconut-infused Hefeweizen). Food trucks and local pop-ups are often found outside, giving imbibers something to munch on as they sip their way through the long list of beers.

This family-owned craft brewery is hidden among Wynwood's towering walls of graffiti arts. Communal tables and ever-changing pop-up galleries by neighborhood artists make the taproom cozy; however, a peek through the window behind the bar reveals there is much more to the establishment: 15 pristine silver vats are constantly brewing variations of blond ale, IPA, barrel-aged strong ales, seasonal offerings, and national Gold Medalist the robust Pop's Porter. All staff members are designated “Beer Servers” under the Cicerone Certification Program, ensuring knowledgeable descriptions and recommendations to your liking.
