THE GOOD
CRAFT BEER BARS
AbRaxas Lounge
This is in the top 10 beer bars I've ever been to. This place is every thing that you would want in a excellent craft beer bar. It is cozy, intimate, low key, and frequented mainly by locals. This was my go to bar at the beach - it was close to my apartment, every patron and bartender are friendly and personable, and they had a great happy hour $4 happy hour that went from 5-9pm. They also have a great industry night (service industry) on Mondays and a fun Pub Quiz night on Tuesday. Their beer selection is unparalleled in Miami, and have some crazy/expensive beers I've never heard of before (like the ones that come corked like champagne).
THE LOUNGE BARBERSHOP & BAR
To sum up this place in one word it would be AWESOME. Where else can you get a great haircut and an ice cold beer in a frosted mug? A super chill spot, where the barbers and staff alike are really friendly. The barbers are very talented and they boast that they have 3 certified Master Barbers. I went on "Twisted Tuesday" and the haircut was only $9! They also always seem to be running a beer special for either Corona or Heineken for $3 all day! It stays open till midnight and I would definitely just hang out in their lounge area, watch the games on the plasmas and have a couple of cheap brews! Talked to the owner Lewis, and as of this post it has only been open 3 months, but has been doing well. I would highly recommend you check it out if you are ever in South Beach.
