Tobacco Road

Considered to be Miami’s oldest bar, Tobacco Road in downtown Miami has survived several Miami land booms, Al Capone, Prohibition, the Great Depression, the country at War, deadly hurricanes, Mariel Boatlift, race-riots, cocaine cowboys, and the rise and fall and rise of South Beach.

The Road has been a speakeasy, gambling den, gay bar, strip joint and blues bar. The two-story structure remains virtually unchanged since its inception in the early 1900s. And while ownership has changed, the primary purpose of the establishment – a neighborhood watering hole - has always been the same.

Great spot for live music and a relaxed, fun vibe. “Real food for real people” sums up Tobacco Road’s philosophy on food. In a town full of “haute cuisine,” locals and visitors alike depend on the menu for their traditional favorites. They smoke their own ribs, turkey and pulled pork. They also have salads made from locally grown produce and a vegetarian sandwich made with sprouts, avocados and tomatoes on black bread.

This bar has been serving customers for more than 97 years, including Gangster Al Capone who, legend has it, was a patron at The Road during Prohibition. They’ve assembled the best collection of single-malt scotches, ice cold brews, and premium liquors that you’ll find behind at any bar in America. Tobacco Road serves cocktails daily until 5 am.
