What I've wanted to say about Tripping Animals is long overdue. As breweries keep sliding downhill…read moreand alcohol's cultural grip weakens, Tripping Animals keeps thriving. Not just because it makes great beer, though it does, but because it sells something harder to can: camaraderie. It gives people a place to become better friends, tighter families, and, occasionally, obnoxious but well-meaning uncles. This was the first place I visited after my COVID-era house arrest ended. That day it became a space that I, like many others, claimed as my own. Innovation has always driven Tripping Animals, and the brains behind the brand have never sat still. Plenty of breweries typecast themselves with one style and spend years chasing beer nerds, their friends, and whatever relatives they can drag along. Tripping Animals takes the better route. It welcomes everybody from kids to casual drinkers, and people from every political corner who can agree, at least briefly, that a cold beer beats trolling on Truth Social. The food program has taken a few laps around the culinary racetrack. Over the years, the brewery has hosted a mishmash of pop-ups, including Tex-Mex tacos, Texas BBQ, ramen, and raw bar concepts. These days, Trippy Kitchen leans closer to home with dishes like a Latinized Charc Board and a Parrilla Platter loaded with two cuts of steak, sausages, chicharrones, salad, and arepitas. The kitchen runs tight, so vegetarians can still navigate the menu without calling it early, while vegans are safe with a Pittsburgh Salad of veggies and fries. Trippie events push past the tired brewery playbook of long bottle-release lines and overworked food trucks sweating it out in a parking lot. Skip the Line turns hard-to-reach, viral restaurants into one-stop shops for unlimited bites. Irie Jungle does what many beer festivals only pretend to do: build communities by bringing home-brewers, collaborators ,and competitors together over their shared love of beer. Beyond that, Tripping Animals keeps stacking the calendar with art shows, comedy nights, maker's markets, run clubs, wrestling events, and more live music. Starbucks lost its soul when it stopped feeling like a third place between work and home. Tripping Animals never made that mistake. It remains a clubhouse, a melting pot, and the rare kind of institution where the pours matter, but people matter more.

My main issues came from service and food. Bartender with long dark curly hair clearly did not want to be there or let me order all the things I was interested in getting. After ordering just the sandwich at the bar she attempts to ring me up, I say can I finish ordering? I ask for a soda, she tries ringing me up again. At that point I just give up. I was about to order an appetizer and a dessert for the table. Turns the screen and suggests a 22+% tip when it's fast food style order and grab at the counter. I thought the contents of the churrasco sandwich were delicious, but too bad it was in between 2 of the hardest pieces of bread I've ever had. You could chip a tooth on that sandwich. If you're in the area it's not bad at all for a little hang out spot, but I'd just not go out of my way to eat here or expect great service.

We went yesterday and it has changed a bit. I love that it was decorated for the FIFA World Cup. We ordered from Un Pollo and the food was delicious! We had the chicken, potatoes and sweet plantains. We ate inside since it was a bit hot outside and the service was great. I'll definitely be back whenever we want to hang out in Doral. This is such a great option since it's chill and has so many options to pick from.

A place that's family-friendly, date-night-friendly, and perfect for a group of friends to hang out and have a good time. Doral Yard is exactly that. It's a hodgepodge of several restaurant booths along with a central bar and plenty of seating options. Everyone can order from a different vendor, which I absolutely love. If you're in the mood for sushi, your kid is craving Spanish food, your significant other wants a burger and fries, and your parents are in the mood for pizza -- there are so many options for every palate. When I went, I ordered from Poke Kai. I had the Tuna Poke Burger -- crispy rice "buns," raw tuna, eel sauce, scallions, cilantro sauce, spicy mayo, Kai salad, avocado, and sesame seeds. So good! My son ordered two sushi rolls: Mauloa Roll - salmon, cucumber, scallion, crab, fried shallots, and unagi mayo. Moana Tuna Roll - tuna, cream cheese, scallion, crab, tempura flakes, togarashi mayo, and lemon zest. My partner ordered from another vendor called YIP. He had miso soup and Peking duck bao. Of course, I also had to try the drinks from the bar (The Bar at The Yard). I ordered: NOT A PEAR IN THE WORLD ($16) - Patrón Reposado tequila, lime juice, Chile Ancho Reyes, prickly pear syrup, and Firewater Tincture bitters. WATERMELON SUGAR ($14) - Hendrick's gin, lime juice, mint, fresh watermelon juice, and simple syrup. Both drinks were super refreshing -- and one definitely had a spicy kick! If you haven't been to Doral Yard yet, please check it out. You will not be disappointed.

When it comes to their whiskey, I like the artisanal inventory they carry alongside the top well-known favorites and recognizable brands.

If you have any questions, the employees here are quick to help you find what you're looking for without hesitation.

It was our first time at The Tank Brewing Co on a Sunday (June 15, 2026)…read more From the moment we walked in, James (our bartender) acknowledged us warmly even from a distance. We sat at the bar and he immediately asked if it was our first visit. When we said yes, he gave us an extra warm welcome and thoroughly explained all the options available. We were pleasantly surprised to find out they had Happy Hour until 10pm on a Sunday! James offered us several beers to try. Once we decided, he asked for a card to open a tab. When he saw my card, he pronounced my name correctly and introduced himself. We now know him as James the "Master Jedi" behind the bar. His knowledge, personality, and people skills are off the charts. We ordered the Padron Premium Lager, which was excellent. As an appetizer we had the fully loaded Nachos, which were very good. We also got the wings, which were delicious and came with three excellent dipping sauces: buffalo, Parmesan garlic, and sweet peppers. The place has a great vibe: 5 TVs, 2 pool tables, a basketball hoop, and plenty of board games under the register (Jenga, Buzzed, Forbidden Words, etc.). The bar also has electrical outlets and purse hooks. The restroom was quite clean, although the main hand dryer wasn't working. We also had the pleasure of meeting the manager Stephanie, who was very friendly. Daniela, a waitress, was fantastic too she helped efficiently behind the bar even though she wasn't the bartender. James mentioned that they clean the draft beer lines weekly, which keeps the beers tasting fresh and clean. We had a blast and didn't even plan it. No doubt about it we will definitely be back!

Thankfully, we still got a table right away. To drink, I had the peachy leachy, which was so refreshing. To eat, I had the Wagyu steak and noodle bowl, which was very tasty. It is very seasoned and a bit spicy so if you prefer your meals simpler, do not order this dish. I liked it but I do think if it had less sauce, I would be able to taste the meat better as the flavors can be a bit overpowering. Overall, the service was amazing. Our server was friendly, funny and attentive. It was a big party, yet there was no issue with the food or payment. There was a DJ playing music but we were able to still talk. I would definitely return.

Best Way Let's be honest: you don't always expect a sports lounge to deliver food that makes you pause mid‑bite and go "wait... this is actually amazing." But Doral Billiards does exactly that. Everything comes out hot, fast, and way tastier than you'd expect from a place where half the crowd is busy sinking shots on the pool tables. The staff here? Absolute gems. They're quick, friendly, and somehow manage to keep the vibe fun without ever hovering. Whether you're ordering food, switching up your hookah flavor, or grabbing another round, they make it feel effortless. This place is a paradise for pool lovers. The tables are clean, well‑kept, and plentiful, so you're not stuck waiting forever. Whether you're a casual player or someone who takes their cue game very seriously, you'll find your groove here. The whole place has this electric, upbeat energy without ever feeling chaotic. Dim lights, great music, the sound of pool balls cracking, people cheering at the TVs--it all blends into a vibe that's fun, social, and totally addictive. If you want a spot where you can eat well, laugh loud, smoke smooth, shoot pool, and watch the game--all under one roof--Doral Billiards & Sports Lounge is the move. It's the kind of place you go once and immediately start planning your next visit.

We were lucky to be under the specialized and meticulous care of Idelis, one of the bartenders and a founder of this Doral location. We started with a tasting of the Wines of the Month: * The Gold Rush California Red; highly cherry-fruity with nice depth. * The Vinho Verde; crisp, refreshing, with a very light bubbly sensation. After the tasting, and keeping in mind her preference for reds, we decided to go with 2 bottles of Pinot Noir; elegant, with beautiful red fruit notes, soft tannins, and that classic silky finish that makes it so versatile and easy to enjoy. We started with the house pretzel bun with butter, which is always excellent. From the seasonal menu, we tried the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, which were very good. For the main course, my girlfriend ordered the Blackened Ahi Tuna and I had the Shanghai Braised Short Rib; tender, perfectly cooked meat with a delicious soy-chili glaze, accompanied by roasted broccolini, shiitake mushrooms, and wasabi silky buttery mashed potatoes. The portions were perfect and the mix of flavors in the sauce and the mashed potatoes is something I can't even describe absolutely phenomenal. For dessert, the Summer Peach Butter Cake (the seasonal option) was already finished, which was very disappointing we couldn't understand why, especially since it was relatively early. We ended up ordering the Key Lime Pie instead, which was very balanced in flavor and sweetness. The crust was excellent and gave the impression of being homemade. Another great visit overall at Cooper's Hawk. The service, the wine, and most of the food never disappoint.

Count your change / Who pays with cash these days anyway. Pro tip: you can do a wine tasting there too and it's always fun to do that before your meal! Makes it taste that much better !!
