    Amazing pizza and other options
    Sophie R.

    Strange Beast just gets better and better! The pizza the beer the new menu items they're just always top-tier. Any day of the week has something fun for hanging out with friends taking your family or late night vibes. Don't sleep on Strange Beast their team, their food, and the vibes are always on point. Not to mention the service if you like pizza beer and vibes check them out.

    The place is small and a good time. We sat at the bar ordered what they considered a favorite has got honey and a lil bit of spice I could have ate it myself soooo good! Had an Irish ale nice and smooth. Nice lil spot to chill and have drinks at def going back.

    Okay so I guess I'm the last person to finally visit this spot. I loved it! The vibe is laid back and the li e music was great. Guy on the guitar had some serious skills. We came on a Friday and enjoyed a delightful mushroom.pizza and the truffle airlines potatoes. We had several.glasses of chardonnay and watched how quickly the place got packed. ove the decor as it's a mix of then, now and some cool memorabilia. Staff was real nice and attentive. Only thing I would say is get there early cause parking can be a mission at times, but it's all good and worth it!

    The good here never disappoints and they have a great selection of beers - I like the morning glory (blonde ale) and the rizz (Pilsner). My go to pie here is Gen Hogzilla and incredible meat lovers pizza 1 don't forget the hot honey!! Ambiance is always chill here - sometimes can be lively depending on the crowd and whether or not they have a DJ playing when you visit. Service consist of walking up to the counter and placing your order with the bartender. Nothing. Fancy, but it works All in all a great local spot and place to come get good personal pizzas.

    The outside looks like any other place, but inside is some delicious beer and pizza! We tried 6/10 of the beers and all were great. And the pizza is so fresh, and I like that they have unique combos for toppings, without being weird or over the top. Definitely recommend!

    Had a great experience! Dog friendly and very fun atmosphere. Happened to go during BOGO and Bingo, so it was packed. Looked like fun! Will try to come back for it. The pizza was DELICIOUS. So soft, I want to go back and try all the different ones.

    Great experience at Strange Beast in Kendall! As soon as we opened the door and walked in, Rob greeted us and gave us the rundown on the meatball and beer specials. He was super welcoming! He recommended the Robaoke pizza and it was SO good! Vaca frita with red onions and chimichurri! Where else can you get that on a pizza in Kendall?? We also tried 3 other types of pizza and while they all were flavorful, the Robaoke was my favorite. The whole place has such a cool, chill vibe. Rob mentioned their epic Thursday night karaoke, and they have other weekly events that I checked out on their IG page. So glad I heard about this spot!

    Great atmosphere! Awesome beer choices ! Love the vibe! They have a great happy hour and we didn't even know it was happy hour. Trivia night was also great

    Margherita pizza!!!! THE BEST
    Daniela A.

    I LOVE STRANGE BEAST!!! I discovered this place right before the pandemic so it was my go to during that time. The service is always amazing and while the staff changes from time to time they never disappoint. I love the cauliflower bites even though they changed the recipe. The margherita pizza is delicious as well as the lomo saltado pizza. They have various events during the week, my favorites being bingo night and karaoke night. They're open late which is awesome. This is a great spot for date night, casual outing with friends, or a solo date. My favorite day to go is Saturday for lunch because they're not as busy

    Strange Beast is my happy place everytime I go there. The pizza makes me happy, the people make me happy, be it the Strange Beast TEAM or customers, because you never know who you might strike up a conversation with !! Maybe you will meet again, maybe you won't. I think it's the beer, it's definitely the beer that makes me happy, good endorphins. Good clean fun. GO PATRICK SWAYZE !! lol. Maybe it's the hot honey!! . Keep it going !!

    Willy Dropped The Sauce!
    Isabelle T.

    Still one of the best pizzas I've had in Miami! The Willy dropped the sauce and the chopped Pepperoni pizza is my go to. I always add a ton of veggies to the pizza and some chili flakes to give it a kick. The service is really good. Everyone is so nice and playful. It's also a bar. There's rock music always playing and everyone seems to be enjoying their pizza and beer. Wednesdays are trivia nights. Some nights are bingo nights, some nights have live music, etc. Every night at Strange Beast is enjoyable, whether you're participating in the games, having some pizza or you're just there for the drinks. If you're in the area, or even if you aren't! I definitely recommend Strange Beast

Definitely a hidden gem, you would never expect this spot when parking. When you head inside, it feels like an "I Spy" book, with little trinkets and new things to find with every second glance. The staff was super friendly and helped us navigate the menu, giving us recommendations. I ended up getting the La Toxica which appealed to me because it had melon soda. This one was a bit more on the sweet side and I enjoyed my partner's drink more- Agua de Violeta. This one was a fav of the night! Right next door, aka connected via an open door, was their dive bar- Yokocho. We headed into this spot after hanging a bit so we could hang out in there (a bit more spacious) and even play some pool. We got to meet one of the owners, Haidar, and he was super nice. We got some beer and hung out here for the rest of the night. We did get a little hungry so decided to get Cup of Noodle ramen (which was $1) and they had a cooler with hot water we used to make it. Such a cool spot and definitely recommend!

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.

Both are delicious and match perfectly with the bites. Our hostess recommended dragging the bites through the Old Bay seasoning and then dunking it in your choice of sauce -- and I have to say, that is definitely the superior way of eating these.

The Frita has Guava Jelly which gives a special flavor to the experience. YUM YUM YUM! Numerous beers, wines, and more. Tons of side options ranging from fries, sweet potato fries, coleslaw, and more. Street parking (paid) close by. Outdoor and indoor seating. Cute little dive with sweet staff and GOOD food.
