ON OUR RADAR Waterfront bars
s YAKU by La Mar ttttt Situated on Brickell Key, the Mandarin
Oriental Miami’s newest bar (its name means “water” in the ancient Incan language Quechua) offers mesmerizing views of the water and the mainland beyond. But don’t let the hypnotic view of Brickell Bay distract you from the matter at hand: Cheekily named cocktails like the bourbon-based Sexy Bombon Punch also demand your undivided attention. à 500 Brickell Key Dr (305-913 8358,

d Shuckers Waterfront Grill ttttt A complete renovation of the seawall and deck
in 2014 gave this 25-year-old North Bay Village standby a new lease on life. Patrons can kick back with a pitcher of beer, wings and oysters while taking in unobstructed views of the Miami sunset over the water. à 1819 79th St Cswy, North Bay Village (305-866-1570,

s The Lido Bayside Grill at the Standard Spa, Miami Beach ttttt Dotted with bright-yellow umbrellas and teal chairs, the bayside deck plays host to a hippie-chic bar scene with unrivaled views of Biscayne Bay. It isn’t rare to spot a pod of dolphins frolicking in the water as you down a few glasses of sangria and frosé. à 40 Island Ave, Miami Beach (786-245-0880,

Marco Reyna Head brewer, Concrete
What’s the job of a head brewer? I manage the team of brewers, which consists of two other guys. We’re short-staffed, so we end up doing a lot. The job is a catchall.
What would most people be surprised to find out about what you do? People don’t realize that brewing is really 80 percent cleaning. The other 20 percent is the actual beer- brewing process.

f Kiki on the River ttttt This Greek dream along the Miami River
features a partially covered deck and classic Mediterranean fare to accompany rounds of ouzo tinged with fresh-pressed juices. While there’s a spectacular bar tucked inside the charming rustic environs of the restaurant, the view from the outside bar and lounge makes the decision to enjoy a cocktail alfresco a no-brainer. à 450 NW North River Dr (786-502-3243,

What’s trending in the beer world right now? Sour beers are becoming more popular. It’s going to be interesting to see how far and how long that trend goes. [Sours have] been around for centuries, and the American beer market is just now picking it up.
Can we expect new Concrete Beach brews this summer? Last summer we produced a mango gose beer, which we’re bringing back this year and packaging into cans. Gose is a sour wheat beer, and we’ve added fresh lime zest, mango and sea salt to it. It’s super refreshing and perfect for summer. The slight salinity keeps you refreshed. We’re also celebrating our social hall’s two- year anniversary and are introducing a Havana Lager that we’re really excited about. ■ Virginia Gil
