The beer is excellent and the list of beer on tap is always changing. They have some great stock beers that are always there, but they also have a brewer that tinkers with all kinds of funky recipes. Awesome. I look forward to trying something new every time or just sipping on an old stand by. The atmosphere is the best of any brewery I have ever been too. Doesn't feel like your at a brewery but at a bar. There is food now that can be hit or miss but I have had some good stuff there. Just depends on how fresh it is. The pretzel is pretty good.

Get there for happy hour and save a buck, but the prices normally are high but worth it. Plus if you have had Buddha from a bar it is never as fresh as it is from the brewery. Especially the Floridian. The Floridian can taste like cake batter if it is in an old tap that doesn't get used fast. So come here and taste what it should really taste like.

I love the beers at Funky Buddha. Im extremely disappointed in the fact that you can only fill growlers that are branded from them. I own already 6 growlers, 2 of them un-branded. So i just left with 2 empty growlers as i was informed i cannot fill my un-branded 64oz unless they are from the brewery. So, i decided to leave empty handed, so thats 40$ you lost, but you also lost my respect, not only for environmental reasons, but overall for a selfish and lame decision. For me this is insulting, especially as i drove on IPA day all the way from south beach to ft lauderdale for the hop stimulator series, i left with a serious bad taste in my mouth as i dont need 2 more growlers i have enough already. From now on i will take my business elsewhere, and also will be removing the hop gun from my beer list at my hotel on south beach.

The Funky Buddha Brewery is so much fun and the beer is fabulous. They have a kitchen and menu with good food at a reasonable price. You can bring your dog and sit outside. You can watch the train go right by. Inside you can listen to music, watch sports, play games in a game room or have a private party. Or just meet some friends. There are people of all ages. It is clean, friendly and fun.

Coming out from San Diego, we were very impressed with this local brewery's beer and the staff was really awesome. We had a great time talking with the bartenders and learning about some other great local spots to hit while we were in to. Definitely a great place to sample some local beers and enjoy some great food.
