Beaker & Gray

"Beaker & Gray, a popular Wynwood restaurant known for its equal focus on food and cocktails, will close on June 30, 2024, after nearly a decade of operation. The restaurant, co-owned by Brian Nasajon and Ben Potts, has been a significant part of Wynwood's evolution. It became famous for its boozy brunches, romantic dinners, and twice-daily happy hours. Despite its success, the owners feel now is the right time to close and look for new opportunities." - Laine Doss

"At Beaker & Grey, dinner will be fun, taste good, and come with a zero percent chance of bad dance music playing so loud that your fork vibrates off the table and onto the floor. This spacious restaurant is on North Miami Ave, which is right on the sideline of Wynwood and away from the densest, drunkest crowds. Cocktails here are great, and the food is reliably good and meant to be shared. Order the cheeseburger croquettes, chicken wings, and anything else two-thirds of the table can agree on." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"This neighborhood mainstay features a global menu with items like cheeseburger croquettes, crispy yucca, pumpkin gnocchi, and an award-winning bar program led by Ben Potts that serves drinks with tongue-in-cheek names like Ginstagram and Green Gremlin." - Eater Staff

"Sometimes the hardest part about going out is finding that middle ground between a place that devotes half its menu to rare caviar and somewhere that considers a spork an acceptable form of silverware. Beaker and Gray is almost always a good call when caught in such a dilemma. We’ve never had a bad meal or cocktail at this place, which serves Latin-inspired dishes like cheeseburger croquettes, alongside very recognizable things like octopus. It’s good for big groups or parties of two. It’s also part cocktail bar, and the drinks are some of Wynwood's best." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo

"You could spend 15 minutes inching past tourists taking photos in the middle of NW 2nd Ave, only to do the same thing on North Miami Ave for 20 minutes, until you finally reach I-95 and see that the two right lanes are shut down because someone was trying to peel a hard-boiled egg while merging. Or you could just take a seat at Beaker and Gray and enjoy a few small plates that’ll cost you $5-$7 from 4-7pm. The grilled cheese, yucca fries, and pork rib fried rice are going to be so much less stressful." - ryan pfeffer
