End Of The Road For Tobacco Road

MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- It's the end of the road for the historic Miami bar Tobacco Road.

After 101 years of service under its belt, the bar is closing on Saturday.

According a spokesperson for the bar, the land its on was bought three years ago by its current owner who gave the bar a three year lease.  That lease has now come to an end.
