Famous Last Words, a Toronto bar serving "cocktails with a literary twist," opened a week ago last Friday to serve "readers looking for a casual haunt to sit down with a good book and a drink (or writers looking for a few strong ounces of liquid creativity)‚" Quillblog reported.
Drawing its name from Timothy Findley's 1981 novel, Famous Last Words, the business features craft cocktails "with book-inspired names like The English Patient‚ Cryptonomicon‚ The Perks of Being a Wallflower‚ and Fahrenheit 451. The bar’s bookish decor includes a Scrabble-tile-topped bar‚ bookshelf wallpaper‚ washrooms for Jane Austens or Oscar Wildes‚ typewriters‚ and‚ of course‚ plenty of paperbacks to browse on a bar-spanning book wall."
From the website: "Serving great cocktails in a relaxed, neighborhood setting. Like great stories, great drinks come in all shape and sizes. So no matter your taste--in books or cocktails--you're sure to find something here you'll love."
