$4 for a beer is good.!
Love the extensive choice and the low price.
Don't forget your ID or you won't be able to get in. -

I LOVE ZEKE'S! Best combination of selection and affordability. The staff behind the bar is friendly and knowledgeable. I particularly enjoy the rotating selection of draft beers they have, but the fridge case contains literally anything you could want!
I've been coming here for over a decade (save the time period when they were closed) and remember when the beers were $3. I guess it's unrealistic to expect that a place on Lincoln Road can keep the prices so low forever, but even at $4, it's a fantastic deal!
The inside is decorated eclectically but is very bright, so you might want to move the party outdoors. Also, make sure everyone has ID because they check! -

$4 beer?! Can I get a Hallelujah??
One of my boyfriends friend recently got a job and is moving to another state to make that dough so we went out celebrating- because now whenever someone gets a job, any job, there's a reason to celebrate...or maybe it's just our alcoholic selves. He led us to this place and boy oh boy was I happy when I got there.
Unpretentious is right! I felt a bit too dressed up for this place so feel free to come in jeans and a tee. They are uber strict with ID's so kids, don't try it. Don't even think about it. He was with mine for about 30 seconds and I felt like I was guilty of presenting a fake.
There's a mix of a crowd which is nice and their selection of beer is on point. My boyfriend and I tried a couple of beers and a cider and though we both have totally different tastes when it comes to beers, he enjoyed his and I enjoyed mine.
I'm sorry Zeke but I just HAVE to take a star off because of the seating area. Ladies, if you're coming here, do yourself a favor and DON'T wear heels- the uncertainty of whether you'll be standing up or sitting is too much. This is a great location to people watch- though i make more fun of people rather than just watch them but you get my drift.Listed in: Now where my alcoholics at?!

ZEEEEEEEEKE'S.
Yes, this is a sight for sore tourist eyes and wallets when on Lincoln Road. It's not pretentious, classy nor crude. Kinda like your go-to college buddy who wasn't flashy but could hold his/her own on many levels.
Super casual and a super place to chill and take a load off. What else is super? Well the beer selection, obviously. But you already knew that. At $4 a pour/bottle you can take your pick at a worldwide selection. Shaded outdoor seating is great for hot days or grab a stool inside and watch your favorite game. TVs are a little small but you can at least sip your way a few beers deep before moving on.
Love me a cold brew here after a bike ride or on a hot day. Bonus points that I live within stumbling distance. ZEEEEEEKE'S!Listed in: Brewski Love

Good selection of beers at great price. Can't beat $4 a beer for anything you want. Only thing that could make it better would be a menu so you have a little better idea of what you are getting if you are trying something new. The staff seems very knowledgeable so I won't even take off a star for that. Great escape from bland tourist traps on south beach

Updating my previous to 5. Went yesterday during a busy time and the dudes behind the bar were attentive and prompt. I love that EVERYBODY must show ID. Makes it easy for the door guy. Some were giving the guy a hard time but hey, he's just doing his job. I should go here more often but it is a little out of the way for me. Thanks Zekes for being there when I need you. You are a nice little reprieve from the ostentatiousness of Lincoln Road.

If you are just starting out in the craft beer movement, Zeke's is the best place to try it all. At $4 you will not be hesitant in sampling up a bottle of those beers you haven't enjoyed yet. Its great to people watch on Lincoln Road and talk crap with your friends.

On the beach, much less Lincoln Road, it's a rarity to find a casual hangout spot with affordable drinks and even less, a respectable beer selection.
Then there's Zeke's. Just wheel on over to find over 100 beers at $4 a pop... and nothing over that cost. What you should know is that they're cash only and there's no food. If you fancy a vodka tonic, this isn't your spot. No hard liquor here. Winos need not apply either.
For a beer and outdoor seating, Zeke's is definitely where you and your buds will want to congregate. -

All you need to know about Zeke's can be summed up in 2 words- $4 beers!!! Truly nothing else needs to be said but I will expand for those "un-Zekefied."
Contrary to Lincoln Road's notoriety for exorbitant prices, mediocre food, and weird beings, Zeke's notoriety is for inexpensive beer and a laid back vibe. There is no club scene here, just a plain old bar where you walk up and order a beer and then proceed to stand around and pick the bartenders brain as to what beer two and three will be, or grab a table and people watch. They have tons of beers to choose from, and most of them from the craft variety which makes them even more amazing.
Take cash or just walk outside and do a sing and dance routine along Lincoln and snag your $4 in no time!!!Listed in: Avoiding Tourists? Head to…

Beer lovers unite! As long as you do not forget the cash.Cash Only!
Zeke's is the home to beer variety on South Beach
Beer lovers has decisions to make with Zeke's having over 100 beers.
All of these beers are priced at $4. Yes, a blowout sale on beer at Zeke's.
The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Also, they are very knowledgeable when it comes to their beers.
Do not be afraid to ask for help. Ask and you shall receive.
Enjoy your beer, people watching at their outdoor seating area.
Zeke's is the most affordable people watching spots on Lincoln Road.
Unless sitting on the curb is your thing then that would be cheaper. -

I love Zekes. The only reason it doesn't get a five star rating from me is no fault of its own and that's our climate, the parking, and the seating availability (which can run scarce). I've had a handful of occasions where I've had to leave because it's plain not pleasant to sit outside in the middle of the mess of Lincoln Road just for a good, cheap beer. That said, it's great for people watching and even better on a cool or brisk "Miami winter" evening.
You can't beat a $4 across the board extensive beer menu. Parking on the beach for Lincoln Road is a bummer but, again, that's not Zeke's fault. I encourage anyone to go there. For the booze or for the experience. I like going there on an off-night at the beach and having a beer or five. Not pretentious as can be. Really feels locally-patronized. -

$4 beers, for any beer? Wowzers. Come here, take a minute or three to look at the beer selections (150-200, lots of standards but a few better craft and international offerings). Very laid back, lots of outdoor tables, great for people watching, and all told a good spot. While here recently could tell the crowd was pretty good - not a lot of seating inside, but generally not a douchy crowd, it's a perfect place to come with a few friends - make sure to bring cash. If I lived here, I'd be a regular, as it is I hope to remember it for future visits.

Good value, great people watching, immense selection of beer, cash only, bring your ID because they WILL ID YOU, even if you go there every week!
$4 bucks gets you the beer of your choice, and trust me you will find something you like. One of my favorites for sure. -

My kinda place. Casual, fun, laid back and cheap.
I felt like a bit of an idiot after I ordered a Bud Light .. then realized all beers are $4. LOL ... not the right choice. They have like 200 options.
Love the outdoor patio, too - perfect for people watching on Lincoln.

If you like people watching and an excellent variety of beer, this is the place for you. On the Lincoln strip this is an ideal place to go with a bunch of friends to drink quality beers at a very affordable rate: $4 a pop!!!
We sat outdoor, but for those really sticky nights, thankfully inside they have AC!
I'll be back, YESSIR! -
Review from Stefanie B.
Manhattan, NY

200 beers from around the world, all for $4. Drafts and bottles both available. I actually found Quilmes here- one of my favorites, a throwback to the Argentina days- and guzzled it down like I'd never see it again. Which I may well not, being from out of town.
Not much in the way of food, but baskets of popcorn, bags of chips and good old-fashioned hot dogs are all offered for $1, $2 and $3, respectively. Just remember to bring your cash (this place is NCA, no cards allowed) and your ID. They give you a hand stamp after you're carded the first time, but if you're ordering for others because they were too lazy to get up, you'll need their IDs as well...every. Single. Time.
There's plenty of tables outside and just a few in, and it gets crowded fast! -
Review from Megan w.

Zeke's is by far my favorite spot on Lincoln Road and maybe even all of South Beach!
My bf and I are big fans of craft beer (he is somewhat of a beer expert) and Zeke's has a humongous selection (over 200 different beers). The best part is EVERY beer is $4.00! That is a great price for anywhere, let alone in the heart of south beach!
The majority of their selection are bottled beers. However, they do have several beers on tap, and they offer a small variety of wine for those non-beer drinkers out there. No liquor though.
Zeke's is very chill and casual, but it is also a great place to pre-game before heading out on the town. Nothing beats the people watching on Lincoln Road!
Make sure to bring plenty of cash (they don't take cards) and your ID, no matter how old you are! -

After walking around lincold rd , my friends and I decided to stop by and have a drink. .....yes we got lost trying to find it...but the place is ok. A simple bar with lots of tables outside for people watching.
I'm not really a beer kinda girl, but I do know all beers are $4, so that's def a major perk for those who do!.
Laidback atmosphere, great location. -

There's plenty to like here. A ridiculous selection of beers from around the world for $4 is a good place to start. An ideal spot on Lincoln Rd to hang out and relax (people watch).
But I couldn't love Zeke's. Every time I went it took a while to get a beer, and people couldn't bring back multiple rounds without bringing all of the IDs with them.
So yeah, I like it here. But there was enough annoyance to make me not love it. -
Review from Nate M.
I think I had one of my first legal beers at Zekes. A Carib, from Trinidad, if my brain has managed to maintain any accuracy after MANY more legal beers.
There is no way in heck that I don't have a beer at Zekes if I'm on the east side of the causeway and they're open. They've done a great job of adding more draft beer since the old days and I think they have around a dozen now, mostly great crafts. Add that to the couple hundred they have in bottles and the formula produces win.
If this was in Kendall, it would be one of the better bars in Dade County. But it's on Lincoln Road. For 6 out of 10 days of the year, LR is the epicenter of awesome.
SIDEBAR: TLC's album "crazysexycool" was written about 3 of the 4 personalities you find on Lincoln Road. The 4th, tourist, appears on the European version of the album but was nixed from the US version cause it tested poorly with focus groups.
So what better place to sip a great beer than outside, watching the parade of everything that's nice and naughty in the world? There is no better place.
You're probably thinking to yourself "golly, it sounds like Zekes has the greatest $10 beers in the world!"
WRONG.
All the beers are like $4 bucks. Throw a bone on top of that for tip and you've just bought a ticket to an alternate reality that is the reality for a five-dollar bill. And who is on the five-dollar bill?
Lincoln.
You're on Lincoln Road.

Review from Alexander S.

I lost faith in South Beach due to all the pretentious overpriced bars and clubs. I boycotted South Beach and had no where near by to drink until I found Zeke's. After ordering a $4 Belgian wheat craft beer, my faith in South Beach had been restored.
This is one of my two favorite bars on South Beach. Zeke's has an excellent selection of craft beers for $4 which is unheard of in South Beach. There are numerous tables outside where you can sit and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere while watching the interesting mix of people walk down Lincoln Rd.
There's not a lot of room inside but if you can get a seat inside at the bar there are usually friendly people worth meeting sitting next to you. There are two TVs inside; one plays news and the other plays silent 1920s films.
Their selection of wine is much smaller than their beer selection. Not a problem for me but a friend of mine doesn't like beer and Riesling was all that was available. Even though she hates beer she tried a blueberry-flavored beer and loved it.

Make sure to bring cash since they DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. -

99 bottles of beer on the wall
99 bottles of beer
If one slips
Oh shit!
98 bottles of beer on the wall.
Okay so I haven't had 99 bottles of beer consecutively but cumulatively, indeed.
Zeke's is one of those places that I like to go to for any occasion.
I've been there on blind dates, first dates, frequent dates, with friends, masturdates, hiberdates, early eve, late nights, pre/post party-ing and through it all it has never disappointed me. I fricken met a psychic here!
At $4 dollars a beer, I tend to over indulge.
The best thing about Zeke's is the people watching on Lincoln Rd. Sometimes the action going on at the plastic tables can rival your usual array of tourists and locals that grace the pedestrian walkway.
After a day at the beach or a concert at the Fillmore, I like to come here, grab a tasty hot dog and a Leffe and enjoy the splendor that is Zeke's on Lincoln.
No pretense, no expectations. Just chillin' 'neath the moonlit sky on a nice Miami night.Listed in: Beer Porn

I like Zeke's a lot! I don't go very often anymore because I tend to stay away from Lincoln Road. But I can't knock it for being in a high traffic location- GOOD FOR THEM!
Most of Zeke's exotic collection comes in bottles which is fine by me and their prices are SO FAIR...I don't even know how they do it. In fact, I don't know how they do many things. After moving back from California three years ago, they were carrying beers from Stone before Fresh Beer, Inc. (or anyone else had distribution rights in the state) started distributing for them. Kudos for being the first I could find in Florida for carrying my favorite brewery!
I know I can always stop in for a quick beer or lounge out a bit on the patio and people watch.
Being outdoors on the breeze walk is particularly nice in the evening.Listed in: Hmmmmmmmm, Beer!

HO~MAZING!!!
cheap beer? YES
large selection? YES
good time? YES
this one's a winner. In the heart of a touristy/poshy area lies Zeke's Roadhouse. Looks like somewhat of an eyesore around it's ed hardy, bejazzle clothing stores(yuck) but i absolutely loved it. Every time we went down Lincoln Rd we always stopped by Zekes. I mean 200+ beers for only $4? It's practically free! Okay fine... not really but it's pretty dirt cheap.
Zeke's provided some of the greatest entertainment during my stay in Miami. It is an excellent place to people watch and chat with friends. What I loved even more was that there were no servers. If you wanted a drink, you had to get up and get your own. Way to keep those prices cheap Zekes! There were 2 bartenders and they did a fabulous job. I never had to wait for a drink and they were very friendly and willing to help you choose a beer! This will be a place I will definitely visit when I go back to Miami.
Dear Zeke's... please open up a shop in Chicago. Thanks. -

I LOVE THIS PLACE!
$4 Drafts and Bottles AMAZING. This place has an amazing beer selection, more obscure stuff then any other "bar" I have seen. Most are by the bottle but they have a few drafts at the bar. The seating is mostly outside on Lincoln Road which is cool. Inside you can stand at the bar (if you want to be a jerk and block everyone) or there is a picnic table to the side. They play cool stuff on the televisions inside like really old mickey mouse cartoons and Gumby (THE BEST!) -

Choices... I am a fan of having choices and when you have such an incredible selection of beers to choose from, I really feel like I have a choice.
One may think that I come here to have 10 different kinds of beer, wrong! I stick to my Abita when available and never more than 2. However, this is one of my go to places when we have out of town visitors and it is always a sure thing that there will be something for everyone.
A privileged Lincoln Road location, surrounded by good food and plenty of people watching. This place is cool.Listed in: Lincoln Road, Liquor !!!!!
