This is best PROPER bar in Miami Beach. The Abbey not only offers their own amazing craft brewed beers (an amazing IPA), they have a massive whiskey and liquor selection. The low key all wood interior is cozy and welcoming (for ladies too!) and the rock soundtrack makes for the best vibes. They also have a pool tables, darts and a digital jukebox.

Great spot for a cold beer or craft cocktail. We enjoyed chatting with the friendly bartender and the comprehensive list of whiskeys and bourbons. The house smoked old fashioned was delicious!

Their IPA and Quad is amazing. Friendly staff. Cool cozy spot to stop by and taste some great beers or grab a drink. Play some pool or darts while you there

The Abbey is truly Miami's most legendary bar. This place never disappoints and is never dull. Brought friends here from out of town and The Abbey made them feel like home. Best beers, best liquor selection and best spot on South Beach. We tried the beers that are made by The Abbey's owner Ray and loved everyone. The staff was nice enough to make sure we tried everything. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Beer and food was awesome. Large drink selection. All of the house beers we tried were great! It was a short walk from the beach, less than a mile. There was free hot dogs and potato chips when we went. The hot dogs were cooked in the house stout, which was awesome. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, we were very impressed. Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, good food and good beer. Would recommend and would return again.

Seeet little brewery bar, dark tavern atmosphere with pool table and darts. Nice ppl too!

A must do if you like good beer!!! Its a great place, beer was excellent. Recommend the flight of their in house draft beers, a brilliant way to try them all! Staff were attentive and very friendly. As for food we were recommended a very tasty takeaway from next door, which we were allowed to eat in the pub! All in all one of the best places I've visited while here in Miami!

The Abbey is the spot to be at!!! It’s definitely such a vibeee. Pool table they got ittt, darts… they got it!!!! Cool jams do choose from, they got it!!! Most importantly they got the best draft beers and drinks! Especially if you got Olivia and Lian bartending!!! Every drink made by both were so delicious and definitely made me buy another one!!!

Love going to Abbey. It’s become my local pub. I feel safe and welcome and especially love when Olivia, Zena and Lani are working. The staff is friendly and attentive, they create a community vibe where I feel safe and can have fun.

For the pub loving Brit abroad this is all you could want for in an American bar. Perfect atmosphere and great beers, the porter is classy. Keep it up.

It was expensive but the bartender went out of his way to be very helpful and chatty with us as we are tourists. It was great to hear more about the history of the place and recent events. We visited back in April after the floods. It was very dark inside but we enjoyed outside seating.

This is a beer drinker's paradise. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and the beer selection is incredible with interesting and rare beers. It has a great, easygoing feel and is a favorite for all of my friends who live on South Beach.

Great hole in the wall pit stop. Excellent bartenders and a good ice cold craft beer selection.

My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and this was our favorite place in Miami Beach, hands down. We live in Fort Collins, CO, so we're a little particular about our beer. Abbey Brewing Company blew us out of the water. The beer and vibes were phenomenal, but the bartender Gerson (aka 'G') was what made this place truly special. He was extremely kind and conversational, and several hours passed by until we even thought about leaving. We will recommend this place to anyone who is in the Miami area. Thank you, G!

In visiting for vacation from out of state and holy buckets, great beer. Their barrel aged Dubbel is crazy good. 2nd drink was an apricot lager. 3rd will be back to barrel aged stuff. Bartender is super chill & cool and knows his stuff. You don't have to know someone to hang out here, will be back. Absolutely recommend.

I've been coming here for quite some years now, I can't believe I haven't written a review till now. After having beers at many of the local breweries that have popped up in Miami over the last decade, none have reached the level of craftmanship as that of the Abbey. Their home brewed Dubbel, Quad, Tripel and Stout are legendary. I've brought many friends, family, past partners, dates, the Pope (just kidding on that last one lol), and have made many fond memories in this place. The ambience here is amazing too, it's hard to describe but it's a total contrast to the vibe in most SoBe bars. You'll also probably know I'm there if you hear an endless loop of Daft Punk on the juke-box. Oh if you're wondering whether to come to this bar or not, it depends. If you like a low lit wood paneled dive bar ambience, world class European inspired beer, and a break from the clubs and mayhem of South Beach, then this is the place.

My favorite bar of all bars in the USA that I've been too. Slightly grungy but clean and up kept. Good music and great bartenders. A full whiskey list and craft beer that helped me define my love for beer and whiskey.

Unbelievable experience. I was there last night for 1 beer. He said “what are you having, same IPA as last night”? I said, sure. He says-“ I’ve got one more for you, Albert”! How does he remember my 1 drink with my 3 friends-AND, my name! Great experience. Great beer! Ask him to see the Joker card!

Fantastic. 10/10 recommend. If you’re looking for a refreshing drink on a hot day, this is it. Also, if anyone can identify what this gnome has coming out of or into it that would be great: thanks!

Found this great little pub while visiting South Beach. The beer was great as was the service. The bartender was really fantastic- we could have stayed and talked to him all day. Seems to be a popular local hangout. We enjoyed visiting with the other patrons. We will definitely come back next time we’re in Miami Beach.

We had a great Sunday night. Free hot dogs, delicious brews, NFL game and great service in a dark and atmospheric joint. We'll be back.

This has been one of our favorite SOBE spots since we started visiting here a few years ago. Now that we live here, we're in all the time. Great European style craft beers on tap, a full bar, and always great bartenders. They've preserved the former dive bar feel. Great spot for locals and visitors alike.

This is clearly a local place. The bartender knew everyone and gave great recommendations!

Great local hang out. Awesome bar service thanks G and staff! A place locals go to when they get off work. Pool, darts, jukebox.

Not your average South Beach bar & I mean that in the best way possible. In such a popular area for tourism, this place gives you that local bar from home feel. Very inviting & a great staff! They have a social jukebox where I played 90s rock music nonstop as I sipped onto my delicious beer. They have many great options for drinks, but I strongly recommend the IPA & apricot. You can't go wrong with any of them though! Will be coming back when I visit Miami again.

When I picture going to a bar with my friends, this is exactly what I imagine (well, my dream bar has a dartboard, but it’s very close) The bartender was the nicest and most attentive I’ve seen in ages. He was alone and even as they got busier he was still doing table service and setting up the patio to enjoy the nice weather. We only had beer, but they were damn good beers. They brew most of their own stuff and they’re good at it. We were supposed to head to another bar, but we stayed here for another round instead! The vibes are perfect. Dimly lit and a little grungy. Alcohol paraphernalia on the walls. The pool table. A tv showing Copa America. The music was mostly older alternative. If I was a local, I’d become a regular

Excellent drinks! Lovely atmosphere.

This place is great! It’s a cute bar, off the beating path where the atmosphere is chill, cool, and stays open late. The staff is also really friendly. I have to give a shot out to Lian and Olivia. You can tell making the customers happy is their main priority.

Niko is the the bomb! Great beer, probably one of the best IPA i ever had, a bit pricey for a side street local bar but great customer service, Zena, G. & RIP Dylan:)

This is one of our favorite bars in South Florida! Patrons are locals and people in the know. Fantastic beer selection and excellent classic rock on the playlist. Super friendly staff! Unpretentious and very comfortable place with booths, tables and long community style drinking counters. Something to point out: they don’t serve food on the menu but they do allow you to bring in some takeout or have it delivered there. love that! The Sunday we were there, they had a complimentary gourmet hot dog station.

One of the BEST BARS I’VE EVER BEEN TOO! if you like foreign Belgium beers this is the place to go! Service was amazing! bartender G was amazing, great personality and welcoming soul. Let me tell you Happy hour deals are amazing from 3-8pm. I came 2 days in a row. If I didn’t live in another state I would be a regular here. I recommend, Definitely coming for fresh cocktails and fresh cold beers!!!!

Can’t believe this place exists amidst all the crap surrounding if! A diamond in the rough for sure! Good beer and cocktails without the Las Vegas-style prices common to SOBE. Friendly, too.

Great locally brewed beers available here. Grab a flight or a pint and enjoy the pub style atmosphere in this cozy bar. Full liquor bar and other domestic and import beers available.

Had a great Halloween in here, fancy dress competition was fun, great music, friendly locals made us feel welcome and they serve Strongbow 🍺 will definitely be back

The manager was super friendly and made sure I was taken care of. And no 20% gratuity

Found this place on a visit to Miami last year and it was the first place we went back to when visiting South Beach again this year. Halloween night was so much fun. Great music, cider and a warm welcome. Just as enjoyable for a chilled evening any night of the week. Can't wait to come back next year.

Great microbrewery. Their Belgians are spot on. Best brewery on Miami Beach. Go there when you're here. No food that I found but a lot of options in the area.

Great beer! So good I came back a second day in a row while visiting Miami Beach. Friendly bartender. Great choice of music!

Traditional Irish pub . With pool and darts . Old school bar . Great

Great little spot for craft beers. The local ones are pretty good, friendly staff, and close to other attractions

Amazing our bartender was top and super attentive

My bf and I came here because we really just wanted to have a beer or two. Had a little difficulty locating it at first but it's definitely a hole in the wall kind of place but those are almost always the best! Did not disappoint! The bartender was very nice and had no issue letting me sample a beer before getting one. Played awesome music as well, very chill vibe that we enjoyed.

Came here by chance and really liked everything: great European pub atmosphere, friendly and expert staff and of course great beers. I really loved the IPA! If you are looking for a great beer in a cool place near South Beadh, do not hesitate!

The bartender put me onto one of the best most exclusive tequilas out there!!! This place is a great vibe and amazing bartenders! Highly recommend

Definitely make a stop over here. Beer is solid and cocktails are even better. If Andrew is your bartender, you will have a kick ass night

Their beers are delicious and very reasonably priced. Its a spacious bar with a dart board, a pool table, and a digital juke box. Its the kind of bar you want to go "where everybody knows your name"... the staff is friendly and the restrooms are clean. They don't serve food of any kind but if you order food from a delivery service they will kindly bring you napkins and plastic ware if you need... did I mention the beers are delicious! I love the stout! (Father Theodore) and yes, many of their beers have "Abbey" style names. Definitely would recommend, but secretly don't want you to go -- so I can keep it all to myself. P.S. dogs welcome.

Amazing brewery in the heart of Mid-beaches. Not kid friendly, and has an amazing array of Belgium/Trappist style beers. Double and Triple were personal faves. Pool table a delightful plus. Note - very limited food menu. Very friendly establishment overall.

What a lowkey vibe, amazing staff, quality top shelf artisanal liquor, good clients, beats, just make sure to ask prices before taking recommendations. ;) IYKYK

Great beer in a relaxing environment. G was a great bartender and made us feel welcomed. Definitely check them out if you're in the area !

Super cool brewery in South Beach. Dive bar vibe with great tunes and awesome beer!!

+1

I don’t love the overuse of this word but it’s indeed a VIBE. Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours played and their Belgian tripel is delicious and no one acted a fool. 10/10

Wonderful long standing brewery with amazing beers, especially their namesake Belgian styles (lovely quad). Owner and staff are fantastic to talk beer with during year your stop in. The atmosphere is laid back unlike the rest of Miami, true gem on South Beach.

I loved it. After a long walk on a hot summer day, I stopped by the place and enjoyed a stout and a quadruple pint, great beer. Although they don’t sell food, the staff was very attentive and kindly informed me that I was welcome to bring my own food inside. They also have an old-style jukebox.

This is the granddaddy of Miami breweries, open since 1995, with a simple interior and a great collection of draft beers both local and foreign, including a few of their own. No food really, just snacks, but a genuine trip down memory lane. The bar used to be a shuffleboard table, if that tells you anything.

The Abbey Brewing Co. lives up to its name. It's a great craft beer bar making their own brew in a Belgian style with many more in bottles. They also have a fully stocked bar with a good mix of Irish whiskeys, Scotch, and American bourbon plus tequila and mezcal. It has some rare bottled beer on the menu. It has a laid back atmosphere to take a break from Miami's South Beach. Also growlers and pint glasses to go.

+1

Having lived in Miami and cooking this was my local brewery. Full with a bunch of characters from all over the world visiting. From I.P.A to stouts triples & quadruple this is the place to be anytime out of the week. They have liquor specials , artistic beers friendly staff a pool table , and darts . Definitely a spot Togo after work, on vacation cause when you leave you either will make great friends or adding someone to your extended family

My husband and I live in Miami during the winter months and we decided to go to The Abbey Brewing Company after not having been there for over a year to watch the Dolphins game on a Sunday. It was very busy in there but the bartender (Randy/Randi) got us drinks very fast and was super nice to us. Even though she was running around and waiting on a ton of other customers she still managed to smile and converse and crack a joke with us and all the other customers for that matter. She recommended some great beers and even a couple mixed drinks for me and they were all amazing. She offered us hot dogs which everyone said were amazing but we had dinner plans. The atmosphere was amazing, all the customers seemed to be happy and having a good time. We will definitely be back!

Andrew was a bit of a legend and showed us awesome drinks and was super on it. Would recommend to anyone for a great place for drinks

This place is awesome. We visited from Oregon and tried to check out as many local bars as possible. Niko and Lainey were hands down the best and most personable bartenders in the area. The beer here is some of the best around. The vibes here were amazing and they don't charge you and arm and a leg either. It's absolutely a must visit if you're looking for a place to go.

Great local brewery! Super friendly barstaff let's you try what you want. Good happy hour specials. Belgian beers are top notch. Also loved the stout. Full bar with good bourbon selection

Their bartender Nico, is the "bad-mood whisperer"!!! If you walk in feeling down, rest assured he’ll turn your mood around and make that frown disappear before you can finish your first drink. Moreover, their outstanding top-tier selection is sure to impress even the most discerning beer connoisseur. Simply unmatchable!!!

Easy to hang out and enjoy an impressive line up of beers. We tried all 8 on tap - they definitely know their European beers and have upped the game. The Mexican Stout is excellent!

Great atmosphere, great beers, great service and cool staff, the ceviche place next door makes the perfect combo. The pool table is the cherry on the cake. Will be back for more during the next trio

Truly great beer. And good whiskey. Yamikaze 18! Few places carry this! Cherry wood aged Belgian ales! Great flavors. If you like original Belgians, get the triple. Quad and double are malty. Some may like but not if you like the original belgian style. Open till 5am. Can't go wrong, besides no food served here.

The Abbey is my favorite local spot. Andrew, Nico and Evan are absolutely fantastic. They are always friendly and welcoming. The beer menu is deli and they have NA options. Andrew was particularly impressive, making sure we always had our drinks with a smile on his face. What a gem!! Love coming here to play pool and darts.

The Abbey is an absolutely incredible dive and a total staple here in South Beach, but what’s more is the sheer level of service we got from a bartender named Andrew - the man actually took our drink orders as we were standing back from the bar by the pool table and then delivered them to us himself. I’ve never seen that kind of service in any bar much less a kitschy dive - it really stood out and was worth noting here. Good karma his way and good times to all who come to the Abbey! Cheers!

The Abbey has been holding it down in Miami Beach for years with great beer, good service, and even better vibes. All the bartenders are awesome (especially Drew, Evan, Niko, and G) and their appreciation for good football (Go Bucs and Browns) and free hot dogs on sundays make this a neighborhood institution. Keep it up and never ever change!

Nice "hole in the wall" brewery with a pub-like atmosphere where the locals go. This was one of our best stops in South Beach by far. Evan was our bartender. A NY transplant that was very friendly and attentive. The beer was cold and VERY good!!!! This is absolutely a must visit!

The best bar in Miami Beach. Andrew is the best!! He is so hospitable and funny, he tells the best jokes. Nico is always so nice. And G is the best bartender on the beach. Love love love the abbey!!!!

I like the place as a local. I love Garson and Evan and Niko, but this guy Andrew just ruined the experience for us. Totally crossing lines and super inappropriate jokes. Just letting the management know. Not coming back if he is behind the bar

Local bar with a great choice of beers both barmen were really friendly and helpful, they do cocktails if that's your thing apparently really good, well worth a visit,

Gastón Rama

Excelente pub cervecero tradicional. Muy buena calidad de cervezas de todos los estilos, amable atención, buena ambientación

Victor Anibal

Soy homebrewer y las 3 cervezas de abadía que probé estaban excelentes!. El local es muy lúgubre, propio de la temática belga. Los precios acordes al sector.Sin duda volvería a ir

Óscar Ignacio Gutiérrez Peña

Uno de los mejores bares de Miami si te gustan las cervezas artesanales y un ambiente de amigos.

Germán Quirico

Exquisita lugar, con excelentes cervezas a un precio adecuado. Muy recomendable.

Some great strong beers. Staff were friendly but did kind of scam me into a $3 shot of whiskey by saying one of the beers is completely different taste when a small shot is taken first. Figured it would be a tiny amount but was a full shot and charged. Not something I really wanted.

Great customer service. Great music. Okay beer.

+6

Cool local laid back bar with good house and guest beers plus liquor. Looks and has the feel of an old school bar

Lively brewery with tasty beer and friendly bar staff. Beers are around $8 each. I just arrived so I don't know if that is good or bad in South Beach but I'm guessing it's reasonable here. I'd recommend a visit.

Really nice beers selection. They have beers from Quebec (Dieu du ciel). Service is perfect. No food, only some crackers.

Nice selection - mostly Belgian types but a few for other tastes. Tried their IPA and was a decent one! Inside is really nice, great atmosphere and service. Happy to explain the beers, offer tastings etc.

I was told by a friend to make a stop at Abbey Brewing Company, which is the city's oldest brewpub tucked away on 16th Street. It's super cozy, laid-back, and dimly lit with an impressive beer list, decent liquor options, and a pool table. Parking can be a challenge, but it's a cool vibe and worth the effort.

Tragos a precios modestos y accesibles, ricos, buenas cervezas artesanales y Buenos cocktails, las bartenders son buena onda, fui 3 veces, solo en una tuve un problema que no tenia mi id y no me aceptaron el de la foto y me fui pero bueno, el lugar tiene buena musica y hay gente buena onda.

The food was good, and i would like to go back again however it is definitely not worth it at their LA location. The parking situations is nightmareish and the place is so small that its impossible to get a table, which wouldn't be a problem if there was an ease to even eating outside or getting to your car without it being crazy. It made it so by the time we got our food and sat down it was just ok and not worth the hassle. The flavors are different and creative.

wish they had a good cider and smelled better

Update - Added a star. Owner responded and provided more info on the smoking policy noting before midnight it is smoke free and they are working toward an outdoor solution. I question the 95% of people smoking as most these days seems like people vape. It looks like they are working toward an outdoor solution which I support. Original comment: I'm pissed I even have to write this review as I liked this bar in my neighborhood. Abbey went back to allowing smoking inside the bar some time around June 2024. What are they thinking?!? It stinks in there. This isn't the Deuce (which seems to have better ventilation). I will update this review if they come to their senses and stop indoor smoking. Until then I am taking my money elsewhere.

This place is more of a bar than brewery. Not many home brewed beers. May be 4-5 home brewed beers on tap. But, it’s a full bar. Didn’t see any food options. Beer seems to be on par with NYC beer prices. $10-11 for a regular pour. The bar tender was friendly & attentive. However this 3 star are just for the beer options on tap. It is very easy to walk by the place if you have long been here before.

Delicious drinks, plenty of options, and friendly service. But the place smells of cigarettes and the menu papers were covered in mold

It’s fine. On a busy night you can expect to be kicked out for only spending $40 in an hour and a half and declining a third drink at that time. Be warned that the menu prices for cocktails are not correct. I ordered a standard negroni, and they didn’t even have the correct gin, and they charged $5 more than the menu price for a cocktail with worse gin. When I asked the bartender to fix it the corrected price was still a dollar over. I live up the street and my friends really like this place. The owner is very nice. I’m really not a fan though, there’s always something when I end up here.

I am glad I came. The beer was really good. Loved the quads they had. But then when got the check, I was super irritated. The menu said one price, but the bill said another. When I brought it to the attention of the bartender, they blamed the owner for raising prices and not fixing the menu, and she was sorry. That's it. I call BS. That's pure false advertising. If you advertise a price on your menu... you don't charge more until you change your menus. Mind you, it was a $2 difference, but when I already paid a $6 bump for the barrel aged, and then the incorrect price....$29 for a small 4 flight of beers is getting ridiculous. Fix your menus, or your machine.

❗️The beer is good, but I recommend women not to come to this pub. My drink was spiked with GHB there, most likely by a guy who sat next to me. I blacked out for 8 hrs and woke up at his apartment feeling groggy and disoriented. You fill in the details what happened… He lives 2 blocks away from this pub and is probably a regular there. Stay safe. This happens a lot everywhere, and especially in Miami.

Bar with about 9 own beers. Dark and loud. Pool table and tvs. Flights available, but at $5-9 per beer it is hardly a great deal. Average beer. No food.

I m just living at 1 min by walk and with the roomies just decided to try that bar, but never again. My cards doesn t work, (10$ bill) doesnt work, maybe his connection bec was using the card 10 min before. The girl at bar was nice, till the time when drunk manager asking which was the problem, and she told me that she is the manager, to not mking problems (my friend pay for me 1 min bef) and she angry told me to see if i have money in my bank account money, that just ask to insert the chip maybe for the connection, i m a manager of a restaurant aswell and never treat with my customers like that, the drunk laughing and joke about i m managing a restaurant. At the end, spending 9$ for a bad experience when normally spend hundreds when i go out with friends. NEVER AGAIN!

Would not recommend leaving your card with the bartenders…first time ever being in this bar and they lose my debit card…not a good experience and to be questioned almost as if I lost the card/acting nonchalant about it when it was behind your bar the whole time. Then the paper that I wrote my non important contact information “if they find it” was just mixed in with a pile of receipts next to register. Frustrating to say the least. UPDATE-Because the owner wanted to try it and clarify with me what happened/invalidate my experience when they weren’t there. I did not get called multiple times the next day it was more like one single time, a 6740 NY at 11pm the next night when you decided to call me about the card and would love to post my phone record of the single call made to be more petty/accurate if needed. You also open at 3pm so I’m sure you didn’t call as soon as it was returned to you because who waits until almost midnight to return a card and or call “one time”. Also not you gaslighting and neglecting of the bar tenders responsibility in losing my card by saying “actually they didn’t lose your card it got stuck to another patron’s card” so it was the patrons fault they didn’t notice giving my card away or closing my tab out without my consent? Mistakes happen but owning up to mistakes that I know for sure is not the “first time in 30 years” this happened and it may have been, but your experience is not valid sir/ma’am ya weren’t there… and if you were there or relied on the cameras to view the entire situation that night you would also notice the night was not “put on hold” to find or look for my card as both the bartenders continued to take orders from other people and less than 20 people in the bar casually playing pool and smoking cigs is not super busy. The numbers of my phone written on the paper were legible actually but again, as stated before they also placed that paper in a less than ideal place amongst all other random receipt paper like it didn’t matter. Also, I never “condemned” the bar I gave a rating of my experience and said I wouldn’t recommend opening a tab/leaving a card where it can apparently be given away and not noticed how thick 2 cards together feel. So please shred the card I don’t need it.

The brewer was rude, inpatient, kept trying to sell this 38 dollars package with a free glass. This was awful, it was dark and hard to read the menu, it smelled like stale beer. The menu is confusing and just very draconian. Seems dirty as you put your arms on the counters. Didn’t even try a beer because it wasn’t up to any current standard of a brewery. Hands down the worst I have ever been to. Also wouldn’t sell us a flight because he was trying to sell his 38 dollar bracelet deal which wasn’t a deal at all. Don’t waste your time if you are looking for a nice vacation spot or family time. I came all the from Alabama and was so excited for this place, what a let down.
