@Steve – I agree. Only very little people have respect for this site anymore.

There’s a somewhat established drink called the Final Ward (with an A) but it’s neither gin-based nor Prohibition era. The Last Word is both of those things; the Final Ward is a very recent Rye-based riff on the old recipe, by Phil Ward of Death and Co. Of course a bartender can call a drink whatever he wants, but if he was mixing up a Prohibition era cocktail with Gin and Green Chartreuse and Maraschino, etc. it really ought to be called a Last Word, unless he was riffing on it. If as @Bryan says, it was made with Bourbon, it was probably attempting to be a Final WArd…unless the Bourbon sub required inserting an O, and… uugh… who cares? How was it?

actually, they will bring the food, upstairs.

the smell has gotten better, actually; less hipster, less dbag, no crust punk.

Abyssinia owns the place, Kevin rents from them.

Ridiculous whiskey/whisky.

You can order the food from downstairs, and bring it upstairs. No service.

Downstairs is cool too.

Upstairs is hipster dbag HEAVEN, and it smells like it too.

Great live music.

@Rory,

Their Final Word was bourbon-based. It used Yellow Chartreuse, and lemon juice, as well.

Victor – Nice way to talk to your readers. This is the reason why very little people have any respect for you or Foobooz anymore.
