About

Exit One Taproom is the kind of place you drive past a dozen times before finally stopping in. Then you wonder why you waited. It's an open, easy-going bar in Florida City with beers on tap, wine, cider, and a vibe that doesn't take itself too seriously.

The tap list leans local. Tank Brewing's Freedom Tower Amber shows up regularly, and LaRubia is a solid call if you want something lighter. Bartenders here know what they're doing and keep things moving. The space itself is modern without being cold: dim lighting, pool tables, arcade games, and enough room that a group doesn't feel crammed in.

Outside is where things get interesting. Food trucks park out front and rotate through, with tacos being the consistent crowd favorite. The patio is dog-friendly, which matters if you're traveling with a four-legged co-pilot. Live music and karaoke nights come around regularly, so check their schedule if you want to catch something.

Florida City sits right at the entrance to Everglades National Park, and after a long day on the trails or the water, this place hits the right note. It's close enough to the Home2 Suites and a few other hotels that you can walk over without thinking twice. Casual, affordable, genuinely local. Worth stopping for.

I was looking for a place to chill for a bit and I stumbled on to Exit One. I literally driving past here 2-4 times a day and finally decided to stop in, and I'm REALLY happy I did. I didn't rate the food here because I didn't eat it, but everyone here raves about the tacos at the truck outside. I ordered a beer called "Delirium Tremens" and it's fantastic! It's a Belgian Strong and I love the complex flavor. I taste caramel, wheat, and a little citrus. It's really nice. Another aspect here is the pool tables and other adult games all around for patrons to play. It's a super fun place! There's also a well stocked (as I'm informed) cigar humidor for those that partake. Now, this review wouldn't be complete without mentioning Leyanis. She's a fantastic bartender. She's attentive without being overbearing, gives her real opinion on the various beers, luckily for me mostly in line with my tastes! Seriously, if you like to spend a chill time with people enjoying some time in a tap room you should stop by. I had an amazing conversation with a new friend simply because the environment encourages people to interact in a natural and easygoing way. Come, have a great beer, and enjoy yourself! 🍻🍺

As a south Florida native who resides two hours north of Exit One, I can proudly say I felt right at home. Open floor plan, dim lighting, foot trucks outside all made for an excellent vibe. The highlight of my visit had to have been the boss behind the bar, Leyanis. Swift pouring drinks and make conversation when time permitted. This bar is a must drop in for anyone who enjoys great brews and excellent service.

Just popped in for a few drinks on a weekday. Small crowd, maybe 10 people, but it was a very nice place. The music was good and the decor of the place is very modern and trendy. The pool tables look like it would be fun if you brought a friend or two. The drink selection was fairly decent as well. This place had numerous craft beers and some typical ones as well. Great place to hang out or stop by for a drink. Only feedback I'd add is the beers had no prices on the menu and the menu was on a rather small TV screen, so I had to get all of the info from the bartender. However, she was very nice and had plenty of tasty beer suggestions, and she was very good at checking up on other patrons to see if they wanted more drinks.

Great atmosphere. Good beer selection on tap. I went with TANK FREEDOM TOWER AMBER. Very good beer 🍺! Bartenders are very attentive. Clean place, chill vibe. Karaoke night tonight. Good DJ! Food truck out front but I didn't give them a try. I saw a quite a few people enjoying their grub though. Outdoor seating. Corn hole. 2 new looking pool tables inside.

We were staying next door at the Home2 Suites and saw the lights to Exit One Taproom, so we walked over. It was a pretty quiet evening so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. We got a couple recommended local beers "LaRubia", then played a game of pool, tried out a couple arcade games, and sat outside enjoying the warm Florida evening and a very starry sky. There was a food truck serving a family and a group of guys. It was such a nice atmosphere; so relaxing.
