Tobacco Road, a legendary establishment in Miami, was a beloved dive bar and Miami landmark that served as a neighborhood watering hole since its inception in the early 1900s. Surviving numerous challenges throughout history, including Prohibition, the Great Depression, and even the rise and fall of South Beach, Tobacco Road remained a vibrant hub for great people, good vibes, and amazing drink specials. With its rich history as a speakeasy, gambling den, gay bar, strip joint, and blues bar, Tobacco Road was renowned for its delicious BBQ and hosted yearly events such as the Crawfish Boil and Seafood Festival.
Under the ownership of Michael Latterner and Patrick Gleber since 1982, Tobacco Road transformed into a popular hangout for downtown professionals, celebrities, and tourists. With live music seven nights a week, the bar continued to champion Miami's local music scene, hosting renowned blues and jazz acts such as George Clinton, Koko Taylor, and John Lee Hooker. Although Tobacco Road bid farewell, it will be sorely missed as Miami's oldest bar, leaving behind a legacy of unforgettable memories and a testament to the city's vibrant culture.
