Thanks to Focal Beer Cafe, we were able to throw an amazing party at their venue! As huge craft beer & brewery fans, it was really a dream come true. From the very first meeting with Leo, my husband, Jeremy, and I knew this was the right space. Leo was incredibly welcoming and helpful towards our vision of the party - his communication was speedy, he warmly welcomed all of our ideas, and had some great suggestions too. On the week and day of the event, Carlos was a huge help as well. The party exceeded our expectations! Everything went flawlessly. Our guests loved the entire brewery and of course, their beer lineup. Leo and Carlos are both great guys, and a pleasure to work with - from event planning, to setting up on the big day, and of course, brewing the awesome beers. We 100% recommend Focal Beer Cafe for their beers and for their awesome event space!

Bousa Brewing, always a great experience. The staff is very welcoming and they know their beer. Ive tired almost all their beers. Although I dont have a particular favorite beer, they are all tasty. The staff does give tours of the brewery. This week I attended a networking event and the experience the staff put together was incredible.

Took an Uber over to check out Focal on Saturday night. At 9:40pm, it was all locked up with the lights off. Instagram said open till 12am. Their posted hours on the door said they close at 12am. We were disappointed to say the least. I guess you can’t trust their posted hours.

Easy to get to from US-1, plenty of parking. Cool looking brewery, with board games and ping pong!Wide variety of beers, so something for every palate.For a brewery just getting started (5 months), the quality of the product is amazing. Impeccable service too! Every beer lover coming through the area - looking at you, snowbirds - should check this place out.

Bow-sa. This place is legit. Reminds me of the great neighborhood brewery in Portland. Great deco and vibe. Berliner was out (was looking forward to it) but thats too be expected after a holiday weekend Friday / Saturday. NE ipa was different than most but pretty enjoyable. Best part was the kids area for our 3 year old to enjoy while we relaxed. Will come back for sure!

Nie atmosphere. Many of their beers are good. I recommend getting a sample first before ordering a pint because their beers are a little different.

Brewery is in an isolated location and is fairly barebones. Staff are very friendly, but beers are not very refined. So-so right now, but hopefully they’ll get better with experience

Really happy to see more breweries popping up in Miami! Bousa is nestled between Biscayne Blvd and NE 2nd ave off some train tracks in Little River. The brewery has a very inviting vibe- very clean and more spacious than it looks from the outside. They have doors that open to the back of the brewery, with 2 ping pong tables, and various games to be played. Very nice decor too. The beers were pretty good, I had the quad and one of their collab IPAs. The beers that I’ve had aren’t mind-blowingly amazing but they do a decent job on them. Overall, a great brewery to hang out at with friends and family. I’d definitely come back. Good first stop before heading to Wynwood for more breweries, where you can find more exceptional beer.

Bousa Brewing: Great place and environment. My wife and I tried the arepa and burger, and it’s was delicious. The beer is perfect and the level of service is wonderful. I will say great ppl and place to socialize and hang out. Overall I’m impressed and will return again for certain.

As a craft beer lover who recently moved to Miami, this place was On my radar for months. I took the bus up from Brickell, crossed the train tracks, and found this hidden gem pumping out legit beer. In typical Miami fashion, a super model was drinking alone at the bar. I really thought to myself “ did they hire her to be eye candy for drunks?” But I think she just liked their beer! Secondly: great service which is not standard in Miami. MostImportantly is that I tried nine beers and all were good. Usually, there are duds but I didn’t detect any. I did want more British style beers but they only had one on tap. Still, they crossed a broad spectrum of beers and nailed virtually all of them (Irish reds, ipas, triples, marzens, light beers, and more). needless to say I will be back (with growler in hand).Update: docking them one-star because the seemingly friendly bartender told her friend (when I was still within earshot) what a bore I was. Hey, I thought I had decent bar conversation!

There is literally nothing better than a Bousa Beer at the end of a long hot day. Super refreshing and I adored the taproom. Definitely NOT the typical grungy taproom... Bousas space is chic and fresh. Also LOVE the empanadas...

I like to go to micro breweries around the country when I travel. I can say hands down that every beer at Bousa Brewing is a solid beer. You cant go wrong checking this place out. Im from Philly where we have tons of good brewing, I didnt expect to find beer this good down Miami. Definitely check it out!

Unique place for sure in a unique neighborhood. Very large space with a lot of potential. Servers could increase the business working the floor more but otherwise good service. Glad we got the chance to check it out but not a big chance we would return considering the location.

Bousa youre awesome! Im surprised Ive never heard of Bousa Brewing until Sunday evening our party was trying to figure out what to do in the afternoon. And then we found a brewing company we have never heard of and decided to check it out. It was a bit difficult to find the brewery and has a weird entrance/exit but once you do find it, its worth it! The brewery is new, clean, and has a very open space inside. We got around to trying the cheese platter and it paired nicely with the pilsner. Also really like that they have a large selection of games set up in the brewery from card games to corn hole to ping pong and more. Will definitely be back soon!

Loved this brewery, these guys make really great beer and have an awesome space. Dio was amazing behind the bar, made us feel at home and welcomed. Only suggestion I have is to make it easier to locate, maybe some more signs advertising and directing customers to the brewery would help. Lookin forward to coming back one day!

Review №54

Good beer. Get to watch the train come by every now and then. The reciept tip options are 20%, 25%, and 30%. That is pretty presumptuous. What happened to 15%... Plus this is technically a bar so it should be $1 to $2 a round. There is an option for custom tip but who wants to look cheap and tip lower than the lowest reccomended tip?

First time here. Highly impressed by their beers. All solid drinkable beers. I did a flight with the passion fruit gose, oaked belgian brown, quad, and rye farmhouse ale. All awesome. Let the rye warm up and it has a completely different flavour profile. Belgian brown was my favorite.

A nice place, clean, spacious, board games available, you can also play ping pong, they have a good variety of beers, the girl who attended us was super friendly all the time and gave us good recommendations when choosing what to try.The food is in charge of two very nice Venezuelan girls, I recommend the black pudding arepa with green apple and cheese, something very different but worth it.Only two things that I think could be improved are:1- In addition to the Beers, the red and white wine (which they did not have this time) could include some other non-alcoholic drink such as water and sodas.2- There was only one girl at the bar attending and she was in charge of everything until she went to clean the tables, so she took time to serve each person, she needs an assistant.In the same way I plan to return soon 👍🏽👍🏽
