"Lincoln’s Beard follows a safe, time-tested bonding formula. They have beer and they have burgers. There’s also lots of concrete and machinery, which helps some men feel like themselves. But focus on the beer first, all of which go well with a saucy smashburger. Order at the electric blue shipping container outside, then go find a picnic table. There will probably be several guys doing the exact same thing you are." - ryan pfeffer
"The mezzanine above the warehouse is a great place to drink beer, talk about how much you miss the old Miami, and hang out with friends who don’t judge you for still using ellipses when you text. You can book the room online, but you can also just tell your buddies to meet you for burgers and beer on the back patio, where Lala’s has recently started selling really good, appropriately greasy cheeseburgers. Maybe it’s the No Doubt songs or Patrick Swayze-themed beers, but something about Lincoln’s Beard always makes you want to dance like you’ve never heard the word sciatica. Plan your party on a Friday or Saturday, when local musicians like Carlos Escanilla party like it’s 1999." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
"This Bird Road brewery is free-spirited and a little weird, which is exactly why we love it. It’s a great spot to hang out by a barrel table and chat with fellow beer connoisseurs over citrusy IPAs. And there’s always something fun going on too—live performances by local musicians like Carlos Escanilla, karaoke on Wednesdays, and comedy nights on Thursdays. When that disco ball starts turning, the brewery comes alive with the kind of unbridled singing and dancing only a group full of Westchester natives (who’ve witnessed their fair share of weird chickens cross the road) could embrace without fear of judgment." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
"Serving beers with head-scratching (or beard-scratching) names like Gaslighting Isn’t Real, Actively Uncooperative, and Weaponized Incompetence, this taproom off of Bird Road knows how to have some fun while going big on flavor." - Alona Martinez
"We like to end the night at Linconln’s Beard: the brewery that started it all in the Bird Road Art District. With its graffiti facade including an Atomik orange, it feels like the Wynwood we used to love. Their Patrick Swayze IPA is so good, it’ll make you want to beg a bartender to play "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" so you can swan dive into a stranger’s arms. And there’s always something fun going on here: live performances by local musicians like Carlos Escanilla, karaoke on Wednesdays, and comedy on Thursdays. And when that disco ball starts turning, the brewery comes alive with unbridled singing and dancing. Which is the perfect way to work up an appetite for an inevitable late-night burger at their nearby sister bar, Thorn." - virginia otazo
