I would have given the Dadeland World of Beer 4.5 stars, but alas, no half stars. As far as service goes, this is by far the better Miami location. Servers are attentive, friendly, and even if you keep chatting and forget to look at the menu(which I may or may not ave done) they’ll keep patiently coming back to see if you’re ready. The trivia at this location tends to focus on music and movies. However, the inside is sort of small, and you can’t hear trivia questions outside. Parking is metered or in the below ground garage. If you park in the garage, make sure you get a validation ticket. Tow trucks are lying in wait for you to try to park in any of the surrounding lots, so don’t do it. There are tons of beers on tap, including many local options. There is no kitchen, but you can bring your own food, or order from one of the nearby restaurants using their booklet of menus that they provide.

Beers from all over the world. Staff is great. You can park in the garage and they validate your parking so it’s free. You can order from nearby restaurants and they will deliver to your table.

One of our favorite hang outs! Awesome variety of beers that is constantly changing, love that you are able to sample whatever you want before you commit to a full glass. With Lime and a pizza place right next door, grabbing take out and coming over for a beer or two is our strategy(food can also be delivered!). We love sitting outside in the couches, can be too loud and cold indoors, but the outdoor smokers can sometimes be a bummer. Love the selection of local Florida beers!

Ended up here as the only bar with choices in beer.(Long story). Seemed like a good idea at the time. But $ 12 or $ 14 for a tasting flight, of what amounts to MAYBE sixteen ounces(less than a pint), is expensive. And some of the beer could have been kept/poured better. Plus they printed a beer menu from the day before, and were missing 3 out of the 8 beers that I wanted. No food. Nothing. Not even chips. Oh how I miss the ‘Phoenix Ale Brewery’($ 5 flights of good beer). Or Santa Monica’s ‘Daily Pint’(big, accurate selection of good beers). Or Carlsbad’s ‘Pizza Port’(good beer, including cask). And all provide food.

Local especializado en cervezas de todo tipo. Ambiente agradable rodeado por televisores emitiendo diferentes programas deportivo. Hay una variedad bestial de marcas de cervezas aunque no tienen sin alcohol. Las camareras en «chorsitos» muy monos la mar de atentas.

This World of Beer has a generous selections of beers and wines. Sometimes there’s $ 4 deals for beers during Happy Hour. Usually the server or bartender will give you the little slip of paper with the Happy Hour options and a menu. My friends and I were at this location last night. I couldn’t drink alcohol because I was taking antibiotics. The 3 stars are for the alcohol selections and the place is pretty cozy. Music is pretty loud. There are tables and booths indoors and sofas, chairs, tables in the outdoor areas. We sat inside by the windows in the middle section. Now, here’s a little story about water. When my friend and I got there to join another friend who was there already, it took a while for the server to finally come by and acknowledge us. My friend ordered her beer and a glass of water for me. The server later came back with her beer but no water. She said she would be back with it. After a while, still no water. I mean… how hard is it to get a glass of water? I was going to tip her for the water… Then after a while longer, still no water. Alright, maybe it was busy and she had to greet customers first. Maybe water isn’t as important as alcohol here? I see the server and she’s multitasking between delivering menus/beers and using the POS. Then there were a few moments where she just stood there looking around, I assume checking to see if her tables are ok. After a while, Still no water. Then finally, another friend noticed the wait and went to the bar to ask for water. That’s when our server finally came with the water. Three friends joined us after they worked. Same thing happened, the server took forever to greet them. We had to flag her down. I mean, if you want to make your tips… at least try? If you assume that new customers probably don’t need anything, at least ask. If you don’t give a f*ck, then why work there? We had to continue to flag her down most of the time to order more drinks. One of my friends told us, «I am gonna get another drink and 2 glasses of waters because I know it will take years to come.» So he ordered what he wanted, and yup, same thing happened. The server forgot about the waters. Or maybe she didn’t? If she didn’t, then why not just keep us updated. Something like, «I am busy now but I’ll bring your water in 15 minutes.» How about that? Finally, my friend reminded the server about the water and years later(sarcasm), the 2 glasses were delivered. The end. Maybe they should have a sign there that says, «Water is not available.» This server’s service was sh*tty. Anyways, make sure you ask for validation tickets if you parked in the garage to get your free or discounted parking. We were there for like almost 3 hours, parking ended up being free with the validation.

Let me begin by saying, I’m not a beer drinker. However, they have many different fruity options for someone like me. I have managed to find my favorite type of beer, anything framboise. They have 2 options, I believe and they are super delicious. They also have a Sam’l Smith strawberry and cherry beer that are very tasty. On weekend nights, they have a band playing. And during other nights they play games. There’s always something going on whenever you go. WOB doesn’t offer food, but that doesn’t mean you are not able to eat. You can order food from any of the nearby stores and they will bring it to you. Nearby theres, Lime, Flippin pizza(my favorite), iron sushi, chillis, and a few more. This location can get pretty crowded, so come with time so you are able to find a place to sit. You can either sit inside or outside. I always have a good time when I come here. Whether I go with my bf or a group of friends, it’s always a good place to hang out and enjoy some good beer. With that being said, I will continue to visit.

It’s beer. It’s a bar. Not many wine choices but then again it is World of Beer. Nice vibe, service has been good the couple of times I’ve been here. The food choices aren’t that great(Lime, Panera, Chili’s) but when one is inebriated, it isn’t that big of a deal.

On a Monday you might get great service since its slower then other days. However, any other day the service is poor and it gets packed a lot of the time. I ha email enjoyed myself several of times, but my last two visits was a bust.

Beer. I’ve come here quite a few times. It was my first date bar for a while and it’s starting to grow on me as a study spot since it is USUALLY kind of quiet outside on weekdays. The staff has always been pretty friendly /attentive. As far as their beer knowledge goes — i have no idea because all i know about beer is that it makes me happier. They’ve got over 100 beers to choose from and i’d highly recommend downloading the WOBAPP! The one shortcoming of the app is that it doesn’t show you the price — so that pint might just be $ 20. No penny beers here, bro, you gotta pay to play. On the subject of selection — if you’re with a picky drinker, they have flavored beers. Chocolate, coffee, fruities, and weird seasonal beers — worst case scenario you can always go with a cider. Who doesn’t like applejuice? If you download the app, you can check to see if any special events are going on. Most friday/saturday nighs they have live music that usually consists of cover bands if i’m not mistaken. They also have nights throughout the week with different specials — wednesday is university night and thursday is ladies /military night(i like what you did there WOB ;) It isn’t the cheapest bar but it’s got a really sweet casual vibe. Make sure you join the WOB club so you get points for every different beer you drink — after blowing hundreds of dollars you can earn cool schwag, like a t-shirt! Lol… hey, at least you get something! DONOTPARKATOFFICEDEPOT, just park in the underground lot(there are 2 entrances to the lot across from office depot). I have driven 2 people to the towing company for this reason. You can get your parking validated(good for 4hrs) at WOB.

World of Beer is exactly what it claims to be — a world of beer! I have been a loyal customer for over a year now and love going for a few drinks with friends on a Friday night. The ambiance is very laid back with vibing music and friendly waitresses, and of course the beer is endless! World of Beer gives you the opportunity to try a variety of brews from all around the world which are otherwise not found in your local grocery store. Whatever your flavor is — Belgian, IPA, Amber, Stout — they’ve got it. And while you certainly will not like every beer you try, you’ll gain a better appreciation for the brewing companies that put in a lot of hard work to make these beers. WoB also has live music almost nightly and Trivia and Bingo Nights weekly! Several local restaurants also deliver to WoB so that you can keep drinking without… well you know. If you’re looking for a good time with friends, but aren’t into the whole club scene, WoB is for you. Drink On!

We used to come here religiously as we live close by. Tonight we had company from out of town and made the mistake of inviting them to WoB. Let me get straight to the point: this place was great. Now the staff is totally different. The servers are super young and quite frankly, not very beer savvy. In fact, on my second to last visit, my server«accidentally» brought me the wrong beer which was conveniently double the price of the beer I had originally asked for, then proceeded to charge me for that beer and every other incorrect one too. We have been coming to this WoB for years, and have brought our dog nearly every visit since we got him a year ago. Usually we sit outside until they close the patio, then we get moved inside, dog included. tonight I guess they didn’t want any more business and told us we couldn’t go inside with the dog(patio was already closed and they were closing in an hour). We told the server that we always sit inside with the dog and have been doing so for a year. We ended up having to leave. I’m going to leave this place at 3 stars because really, it was a great hang out spot and maybe we have just out-grown it. If you’ve got a pup, make sure to arrive at 11 the latest if you’d like an hour to stay outside.

Not a bad place to hang out with a few friends but it is a bit small with a parking that makes you feel a big bothered but it is not their fault but great location to live. I rate it this for the lack of service provided that really I can’t complain it is filled with rowdy college students. But what really bothered me was the the vapor group that once again is not their fault but indoors with a foggy storm building up with 40 watt batteries and dripping vapors with a smell of burning hair. Thank you for the brew but I’ll stick to the one in Kendal by the blue martini.

Thank heaven for World of Beer, near Dadeland Mall. WoB provides knowledgeable service, a huge selection of tap and bottled craft beer, and a nice indoor/outdoor environment. It’s a chain, but whatever– the selection was great, and the bartender was knowledgeable and on point on my visit. The bartender provided me with great local recommendations when I asked to Drink Local. Since I log beers on the app Untappd, including a few beer ratings: — Florida Lager, by Florida Beer Company 2.5 stars — Invasion Pale Ale, by Cigar City Brewing 4.0 stars And two non-locals with local themes: — Sharkinator, by Lost Coast Brewing 3.0 stars — Miami Weiss, by Great Lakes Brewing 3.0 stars Visiting from Chicago, I was very pleased with the amount of Two Brothers Brewing that was available. Beer flights are available, and if you’re on the fence about a beer, ask for a small sample. Plenty of TVs around to catch all the games and matches, worth a visit if you’re into craft beer and in the Dadeland Mall area.

I’ve always had a thing for beer… This place is great for the mere fact that I can try so many different kinds. The flights are my favorite thing to order for sure. What’s better than getting a taste of world beers, then choosing that one perfect beer that tickles your pallet? Nada! I’m definitely privy to this location too because they have the couches outside, knowledgeable folks behind the bar, and decent places to order food close by. Pair that with a rocking live band on a Friday night and I’m a happy camper! Cheers!

I wasn’t terribly impressed by this WOB when it first opened — I believe I’ve referred to it, and disparagingly so, as the«Disney World of Beer» — a corporate, generic, cash-in on craft beer’s trending popularity, with clueless employees and all the soul of an Applebee’s or Olive Garden. Even then, they did have a lot of beer, to be fair, but it was a list seemingly more geared to craft beer newbies. Fast forward to now, and I do have to come back and give credit where it’s due. This place is doing a LOT better per my reckoning, almost across the board. I’m still not sure that all of the servers are all that knowledgeable about the product they serve, but I have been pleasantly surprised and impressed by the knowledge of the bar managers. They«get» the whole beer-geek thing here more now, because a few of the people are clearly beer geeks themselves. The beer list, both on draft and bottle, has been upgraded. They are getting cool kegs, like some of the more interesting Funky Buddha and Cigar City stuff. On a recent visit, I was stoked to find CCB’s excellent Session Berliner and Vanilla Maduro, even if they were just out of the Gin & Juice I had wanted to finally try. As for bottles, they are getting more of the specialty bottles I was lamenting as having been lacking in my original review. No longer do I have to sit there and scour the menu over 10 minutes for a single interesting-sounding beer that I’ve not yet had. In fact, I find myself looking forward to my next visit, because there’s more I’d wanted to try. Easily the best beer bar south of Sunset Drive, and north of White St. in Key West. That’s a lot of area.

There’s beer, a wide selection of food from the surrounding restaurants and tables with chairs. Not a lot of ways you can mess that up. I went for my first time for«happy hour» with coworkers. There were no regular HH, 50% off deals going on though. Even so, it was nice to have my choice of some of my favorite local brews including Funky Buddha, Miami Brewing Co., Wynwood and the like. Especially for this Dadeland area, they aren’t always easy to come by. If you do have wine drinkers in the group, they have a couple of selections but don’t come with your BFF that hopes to become a sommelier someday. The vibe is super casual and definitely seems like a go-to hangout for younger people living in the area. The inside has that nostalgic beer-spilt-on-the-floor smell which makes me think it gets pretty lively on the weekends. Back to the food. Lime seems to be the most popular delivery option which I would definitely go for next time I’m hungry. There’s also a new pizza place that opened across the street which I’m sure will be clutch later on too. Cheers!

My experiences at this WoB location have oscillated wildly! I’ve had great customer service at the bar, and absolutely shitty customer service on the patio. This one time, the first seven beers I ordered were out. What? The fact that the waitress had to go check for almost every beer individually? The disappointment was stretched out almost over 30 minutes. I am a pretty cool cucumber to be honest – I’ve been a waitress, a barista, and the rest of my resume is almost exclusively service and retail – but I was so disappointed I asked her if the management could do anything about it. She assured me they could. But no management came. Other times the band has been awesome and at a decent volume – and a different occasion the band epically sucked and not only was it overtly loud, but even after my party sat outside(to avoid the noise), the door was propped open and the din spewed all over the patio. When we asked the bouncer if he could shut it, he said no and was quite rude when we asked him why. Our waitress and eventually the manager had to come out before it was resolved – but it left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. But, to be honest, we’ll probably be back. Since Cervezas closed, it’s still the best beer selection – and our circle is predominately beer snobs.
