The oldest bar in Broward County is gone.
But the new owners of shuttered landmark Brownie’s Tavern promise live music will play again when their tropical-themed bar and patio opens in 2010, with a new name.
In its heyday, the 74-year-old watering hole opened by Brownie Robertson at 1411 S. Andrews Ave. showcased performers like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. The Trianon Ballroom where they played is now an empty lot.
