Red Rooster Overtown is just a few minutes from PortMiami, making it an easy stop before or after a cruise. The restaurant is from Marcus Samuelsson, Derek Fleming, and Michael Simkins, and the food pulls from Southern, Caribbean, and African influences that reflect Miami’s roots. It is a local experience you will not find on a cruise ship.
The restaurant is located in Historic Overtown, a neighborhood with deep ties to Black culture, music, and nightlife. That history shows up in the space through the food, the music, and the people who work there. It feels connected to the neighborhood rather than built just for visitors.
Red Rooster Overtown also supports the local community. The restaurant works with local artists and musicians, hosts events and performances, and gives space to Overtown’s creative scene. It is not just a place to eat, but a place that stays involved in the neighborhood it serves.
Every Thursday, The Pool Hall hosts Miami Nocturne, a live music series featuring local and touring artists. The room honors Overtown’s musical history and is also available for private events…
