Editorial Review for Tobacco Road – by Jennifer Osorio Kissell
In Short
Established more than eight decades ago, Tobacco Road is Miami's bar of choice for great blues and food. Its two stages have played host to many blues legends, including B.B. King, Koko Taylor and Albert Collins. It's also one of the few places in town where local bands regularly perform. Even Al Capone used to hang at the Road during its days as a speakeasy. The Road also holds Miami's liquor license No. 1.

We went on a Saturday. We loved it. It had the atmosphere we were looking for a mix of adults and mature younger crowd. The music was exceptional if you like blues. The area was a little concern at the beginning but shortly after, felt very comfortable. Reasonably priced.

Green glowing neon beckons me back to simpler days as I enter this treasure nestled on the banks of the Miami River in old downtown. Having the opportunity to visit on numerous occasions whether in the company of latinas bonitas, or solo I have never been disappointed. Great crowd and super staff always make you feel welcome. The front room bosts a cozy bar and sitting area where you can enjoy a delicious and amazingly reasonable menu with juicy steaks, handcut fries, sandwiches and plenty more. Get together after work for a few frosty cold ones, or check things out later in the evening on weekends where I have been greeted by anyone from KoKo Taylor to the Jack Daniels girls inviting me over for some refreshments. I have enjoyed the patio as well, taking me back to those fond memories on High St. at The Ohio State University. It definitely has my vote for a great evening of action and adventure, a historical landmark being the first and last remaining speakeasy standing in the city of Miami. Won't you join me on Tobacco Road? All the best ~ JoeyB
