The owners of the Roadhouse have connections and they use them, to the extreme delight of music lovers. The family of famous trumpeter Louis Colombo, opened the cafe in 2007, inspired by their successful restaurant in Cape Cod. Colombo had quite a career, performing with legends the likes of Dizzy Gillespie and Tony Bennett. He spent the winter months in Fort Myers where he loved to get on stage at the Roadhouse, his famous friends did too. Colombo passed away in 2012 but his friends still come back and play in his honor. This is a great place to both dine and dance, catering to the over 40 crowd. Once inside this beautiful cafe, you'll forget you're in a strip mall in Florida, you'll think you're in the big city and have just hit the musical jackpot.
