Miami, FL

Miami is a beautiful beach city with fun vibes and some great breweries, bars, and restaurants!

Miami Tips: 

  • Miami is more than just a party beach, make sure you explore all the city has to offer!

  • I would recommend staying on the city side, it is way cheaper, and it is just a quick ride to the beach.

  • A lot of businesses add in an 18% tip automatically, so just be sure to double check your bill so you know which spots are including it and which are not.

  • If you’re also visiting Fort Lauderdale, or flying in/out of there, there is a train that runs between the two cities. Fort Lauderdale recommendations below!

Adventures & Ales Top Miami Recommendations: 

  • Explore the Wynwood Neighborhood!

    • J. Wakefield Brewing: Taproom closed. While they are looking for a new space snag their beer on tap around town.

    • Wynwood Walls: It's hard to miss the amazing artwork that lines the walls of this neighborhood! Wander the streets and check out all of the amazing pieces. There is also a specific area that you can pay to enter and explore, but from my perspective there is plenty of gorgeous free art throughout the area.

    • Traveling with a group? AvantStay has some amazing larger homes for rent! Use my link here to save $250 off your stay!

    • Coyo Taco: A popular taco spot with delicious food!

    • No. 3 Social: A fun rooftop bar and lounge. The views are average, but it is still a nice spot to hang out. They also do a happy hour with great deals!

    • Oasis: A shipping container-style outdoor food hall. It is super cute and a great spot to hang out.

    • The Bagel Club: A great bagel shop with delicious sandwiches and a cute back patio. You can also preorder online.

    • Kush: A restaurant and beer bar with a solid tap list and full food menu.

    • Wynwood Brewing: A fun spot with board games, flights, and an outdoor patio

  • Tripping Animals Brewing Co.: A great brewery in Doral with a wide variety of beers. They also have a killer food menu—the mushroom sandwich was phenomenal.

Oasis Wynwood

Miami Tourist Spots Actually Worth Visiting:

  • Miami Beach: While in Miami you’ve got to hit the beach! The sand is white and soft and the water stays pretty warm year round.

  • Bike along A1A Beachfront Avenue: It's the perfect way to explore all of the coastline.

  • Stroll along Ocean Drive in Miami Beach to check out the art deco buildings!

  • Other Miami Beach Ideas:

    • Naked Taco: A boujee taco spot on the main strip of Miami Beach

    • Juice and Java: A health-focused cafe with a very large menu of salads, smoothies and more

    • Cortadito: A coffee shop in the heart of Miami Beach with delicious drinks and fun vibes

    • Joe & The Juice: Absolutely would not recommend. Overpriced, mediocre juices and smoothies with no air conditioning.

  • Versailles Cuban Restaurant: Touristy but delicious Cuban food.

Orchestrated Minds Brewing

Head to Fort Lauderdale for some more brewery hopping:

  • Orchestrated Minds Brewing: A tiny little spot making delicious beers—especially their Stouts and Barleywines! Their team is also incredibly nice and it is a fun spot to hang out.

    • Vegan Junkie is a delicious vegan junk food truck around the corner!

  • Invasive Species Brewing: Another great brewery in Fort Lauderdale with fantastic beers, especially the Sours! They have a nice back patio space and frequent food trucks.

  • 3 Sons Brewing: A restaurant-style brewery specializing in Pizzas and Lagers. They are just 6 minutes from the Fort Lauderdale airport, so if you are flying in/out it is a great stop on the way.

  • Funky Buddha Brewing: Technically just north of Fort Lauderdale, but one of the largest and oldest breweries in South Florida so it is worth a stop. They have restaurant vibes and a full food menu.

  • While you’re in the area check out Hollywood Beach—it is another fantastic beach with beautiful soft, white sand

Bagel Club

Other Miami Ideas:

  • Unseen Creatures Brewing & Blending: Another brewery option with a dark taproom, IPA-heavy tap list, and frequent food pop-ups.

  • Beat Culture Brewing & Kitchen: An interesting brewery with a bar food menu and dive bar vibes. They are 6 minutes from the Miami airport so it’s an easy stop on your way in/out of town.

  • Toasted Baglery and Deli: A small bagel shop nestled on your way to the beach in Miami City with delicious sandwiches and coffees.

  • Ittle Italy: Delicious vegan pizza delivery option!

  • Panther Coffee: They’ve got several locations throughout Miami and Miami Beach with breakfast sandwiches, pastries and coffees.

  • Spanglish: A cocktail bar and kitchen with club-ish vibes. Definitely not what was expected.

  • Zak The Baker: A popular bakery in the Wynwood neighborhood. Check your order before walking away because mine was completely inaccurate, but the bagel itself was tasty.
