The Last Word

“Came here on a Friday night with a couple friends and it turned out to be a pretty chill spot. The music wasn’t too loud, so we could actually talk without yelling the whole time, which I appreciated. Drinks were decent, not the best I’ve ever had but def not bad either. Bartender seemed a bit busy but still managed to be nice and check in on us. Place got more crowded later on, but it still felt comfortable. Only thing is it took a little while to get our second round, but nothing crazy. Overall a good place to hang out and unwind.”

“Love the atmosphere! And the drinks! Greatt selection. Had the Islay Sour, spot on. The mixoligists are fantastic. Prices good.”

“On a snowy February evening, there was absolutely no shortage of superb food, inventive cocktails, and excellent service at The Last Word. This is a polished and designed experience that demonstrates real thought and commitment to high quality. Yet, it also somehow avoids feeling snobby, pretentious, stuffy, and imposing. Instead, the cozy, welcoming, accessible, and warm atmosphere allowed cocktail beginners and cocktail connoisseurs to both feel like their expectations were met and even exceeded. I could not recommend this bar enough and look forward to returning as soon as possible.”

“Excellent atmosphere, had a seat at the bar and tried the family estate rye whisky for the first time, which was excellent. Bartender was prompt and attentive, and my small plates were great accompaniment. Fried old bay chickpeas - quantity was a large and pleasant surprise, though each individual bean was a little small. Flavor and crunch were nice, never tried putting old bay on my chickpeas before, but definitely too much salt on these, which was a pity. Still a good drinking accompaniment though, and surprisingly addictive. Prosciutto - orange cantaloupe and blackberries were pleasant alongside prosciutto wrapped around the melon slices, and balsamic glaze went very well. I think the honey tilted the dish a little too sweet though, the fruit was sweet enough. Some nuts or a bit of citrus might have been good instead. Jupiter and Mars cocktail - a little disappointed by this one, was expecting a more spice forward drink, but the spice was more of an aside to the tequila and sweetness.”

“The food and drinks were amazing. Each of my friends and I loved our various cocktails and our waitress recommended the roast carrots to rave reviews. The pumpkin creme brulee was so good that we all started scheming to add it to our thanksgiving menus. HOWEVER, the music was absolutely disastrous. It was poundingly loud and with genre swings that were both disruptive and at odds with the aesthetic of the space. At one point the Titanic theme song started and then, was abruptly replaced with a thumoing bass track. It felt like conversation was fighting uphill which was a huge detraction to the enjoyable food and delightful drinks along with soothing cozy lighting. Another point the music got so loud that when we finally pled with the staff to turn it down other tables clapped as it got quieter. Despite the amazing food, we agreed the noise was so uncomfortable we wouldn't want to return.”
