Bargain Brews in South Beach
If South Beach prices and attitudes have you down, don't despair. There are two places that offer quality drinks for the cheap and thirsty on the dry dusty island of Miami Beach. Both of these places ditch the hype and the flashy signs for quality and anonymity.
The Abbey Brewing Company: It's easy to miss this gem amidst the glitz and glam. The dark tinted windows and generic sign (pictured) conceal a treasure trove of unique beers from around the world and an independent atmosphere. Once we found this place, we came back again and again for many a casual night of drinking and talking until the wee hours. Some of our favorites are the Apricot Ale and the Immaculata IPA. Both are refreshing and light.
Zeke's Roadhouse: Found right in the heart of Lincoln Road, Zeke's Roadhouse caters to a different crowd than the South Beach regulars. This is a no-frills kind of bar that draws customers in with astonishing prices. During happy hour, any beer from anywhere is only $3. Zeke's has a strict policy forbidding outside food and drink and often gets crowded on weekend nights, but the prices are still worth the trip.

Zeke's does not have a happy hour. The beers are always $3.
