What People Are Saying About Abbey Brewing Co
Featured Review
Contributor
Contributor
In Short – It's not your typical SoBe bar: No velvet ropes keep you away from the door. No muscle-bound bouncers sneer. No club kids clamoring to get to the front of the line. Just locals grooving to a Grateful Dead soundtrack in the cigar smoke, quaffing hard-to-find Belgian Trappis ales and the Abbey's home-brewed pale ale and oatmeal stout. However, there's still some signature South Beach-ness about the place: It's most crowded during the wee morning hours.
Editor's Tips
- What to Drink:
- The signature brews, all on draft, are Immaculate IPA, Father Theodore's Stout, Brother Dan's Double, and Brother Aaron's Quadruple. Nearly a dozen guest beers are also available on tap.
- The Extras:
- You won't find complete meals at the brewery, though appetizers like empanada pastries and oven-baked Bratwurst will help fill you up between swigs.
- When to Go:
- It's a small place, so arrive early unless you don't mind rubbing elbows. Then again, what's wrong with rubbing elbows after a few beers?

Best Beer in Miami

This small and unpretentious Sobe gem (soon to undergo an incredible expansion that will offer a full bar with micro distillery spirits) is all about magic. As soon as you enter you realize that you might be into something good. Approach the bar with confidence and any of the bartenders on shift will explain with detail the immense array of special and rare brews from around the world including Brewmaster/Owner Raymond Ragazio's impeccably balanced Immaculate IPA and the bold & creamy Father Theodor Imperial Stout.
My recommendation is to go with the house selection. The Abbey features happy hour from 3 till 7 on home brews and ciders, but trust me, if you enjoy a well made IPA you can drink this golden nectar all day long... with a break or two of Framboise Lambic , hard to find options of Brooklyn Brewery Concoction, Blast and Main Engine, or a Delirium Tremens on tap.
Needless to say the music is always on tune with what you are drinking... Allman Brothers, Jimmy Hendrix, Talking Head, and Rolling Stones are some of the sweet sounds you will hear while you enjoy the mystical and refreshing beer selection.
Taking into account that the bar doesn't offer any food (except popcorn and white castle burgers) you might want to have any of your favorite local food delivered. This is a plus since once you are inside you might never want to leave.
If you're a serious beer drinker, this is the place to be.

This is by far the best place in town to get some real beer. Even though it doesn't look like much from the outside it is whats inside that matters. That includes Dave!
So if you go their remember to say hello to Dave.
- Pros: Best beer in town
- Cons: surrounding nieghborhood
