Surprisingly refined American fare at the oldest tavern in Miami.

On an increasingly hip little block in downtown Miami’s Brickell area stands the oldest tavern in Miami, best known for its nightly live music---a rare assortment of local (and sometimes nationally-known) blues, jazz, rock and reggae bands. As the area has gentrified, so has The Road’s food menu. Along with the house-made chili, hefty burgers and similar classic bar food, there are now surprisingly refined choices for the business lunch crowd, like a lemon aïoli-dressed Norwegian smoked salmon club sandwich on raisin-pumpernickel bread, served with a house or Caesar salad plus hand-cut fries. At night, more substantial fare includes a bourbon-marinated strip steak, a full rack of ribs (smoked in the parking lot out back), plus specials like Tuesday night’s famed ten-buck lobster dinner. And a late-night menu---limited, but featuring the steak and many burgers (including a vegetarian version)---means tasty, cheap eats are available till 4 a.m. on weekends, a few hours earlier other nights.
