Catching the Beat at the Oldest Bar in Miami, Florida

In Miami, where bars and restaurants open and close faster than you can shake a mojito, Tobacco Road, its oldest licensed bar (1912), has kept the beer, booze, and music flowing for almost a century. Mellowed since its days as Al Capone’s favorite Prohibition gin joint and a frequently raided dive bar, Tobacco Road still kicks back and delivers. Three stages pulse with a steady nightly menu of live music—blues, rock, jazz, funk, alternative rock, Latin, rhythm and blues—by top local and traveling bands. It’s all served up with jaw-stretching burgers, smoked-on-the premises ribs, turkey, and pulled pork, tongue-searing chili, and budget-friendly weekly specials. Its slightly shabby interior and equally shady past make Tobacco Road a happy, boozy counterpoint to the skyscraper glitz of neighboring Brickell Avenue and the trendy vibe of South Beach. Better yet, it's open seven days a week until 5 a.m.

Letting your hair down at Tobacco Road Enter through the wooden door under the multicolored parrot and you find yourself in a scene straight out of a Hollywood movie. If you have made your way to Tobacco Road, Miami’s oldest pub, you have gone straight to food, drink and rock haven. No better and more scenic place to enjoy the best burger, best steak or best lobster, rubbing elbows with bikers and businessmen, all joined together listening and dancing to the newest and hottest live bands like Big Poppa E or Jazz Mama in a historic eaterie which once catered to the stevedores off the tobacco ships from Cuba. Lunch and dinner daily, music from 10pm until….
