Literature-Inspired Cocktail Bars

The Drinks at Famous Last Words are Named After Books

— May 4, 2018 — Lifestyle
A wonderfully romantic hybrid business approach, the Famous Last Words bar offers drinks that are named after books for a clientele who is eager to converse about great reads over an inventive cocktail. Merlene -- the founder, successfully integrates her two passions into this business. With this endeavor, she creates a safe space that is warm and inviting for "anyone who loves books and drinks, regardless of their knowledge level or experience with cocktails."

Famous Last Words seeks to relate the knowledge, art and taste of beverage mixing via classes and private events. Staying true to the missions statement of her establishment, Marlene does not stop at drinks that are named after books. She also extends an ongoing invitation to local Book Clubs, offering them perks for hosting their event at Famous Last Words.
