'ESCAPE' TO FEATURE ICONIC MIAMI BAR

Miami's oldest bar has a new home -- on a cruise ship.

Norwegian announced this week Tobacco Road, closing after 102 years in business, will be featured on Norwegian Escape, their newest and largest ship.

Here's more from Norwegian:

"The acclaimed establishment, which was issued Miami’s very first liquor license, is closing its original location this week after 102 years in business. In an effort to preserve the tradition of this iconic Miami landmark, Tobacco Road and Norwegian Cruise Line partnered to bring the Tobacco Road experience onboard Norwegian Escape, which will begin sailing from Miami in November 2015.

"Located within 678 Ocean Place, the new location of the celebrated tavern will incorporate elements of the original Tobacco Road, including the iconic neon sign, memorabilia and photographs that will showcase the history of Miami through the lens of events and happenings at the bar over the past century.

"In addition to favorite beers and spirits, Tobacco Road Bar onboard Norwegian Escape will also feature a selection of cocktails created by Tobacco Road’s resident mixologist, Leo Holtzman. The delicious libations from Holtzman’s Cocktail Collection will include favorites like the Chili Mule, featuring ginger puree, Cointreau and vodka topped with a sliced serrano pepper; and the Gateway, a rum-based drink that incorporates yuzu juice, elderflower syrup and Prosecco.

"Norwegian Escape will begin weekly seven-day cruises from her year-round home port of Miami to the Eastern Caribbean on Nov. 14, 2015."
