Cons:
"Lights are a bit too bright, and seating areas need to be closer."
"There were no available seats or tables, so we stood across from the bar."
"Great place with good selection of drinks but the seating arrangement makes it somewhat harder to have a conversation without yelling across the table."

"Music can be a little loud at times."

Pros:

Cons:

"Pretty great drinks, although more pricey than they should be."
"Unfortunately, all missed the mark. The quality was what I'd expect from a dive bar using well liquor."

Food
Pros:

"Very light bar food so don't come expecting a meal."
"Delicious cocktails! The brunch menu was okay. I wanted more of a selection plus the portions were somewhat smaller than usual."
"Not a great selection on food."
"The food is terrible, overpriced and not worth it."
Management
Pros:
"Lucas, the owner was there and he and his staff were just amazing."
"Shout out to new management, Lucas. I’ve come to The Last word since last year. Hospitality, food, even drinks are way much better than previous management."
"Lucas the manager went out of his way to make sure we were all genuinely having a good time!"
"Stopped in for an after dinner drink in St.Paddy's Day and it was fireeee. Ambiance and service was great, especially the manager Lucas!"
"Manager Lucas is super friendly."
Cons:
"They changed their happy hour from 5-8 to 5-7 and then eliminated it on the weekend."
"They have also changed their chique entrance to a more visible appearance--I prefer the appearance hidden behind the 'hardware store' setting better."
Music & Entertainment
Pros:
"The attention to detail is amazing, the service is second to none. Live music three times a week."
"They have live music most of the nights."
"If you're into jazz music or just a fun night out. This is the spot."
"Live music was very enjoyable. Atmosphere is homey but special and well thought out."
"The bar has very 1920's jazz elegance to it, with live jazz on Sundays after 7 pm."
"Great place to experience a live jazz band, and the vibe was chill."
"The music is great, the service is great and the drinks are perfectly made."
Cons:
"While I like the place for its food and drinks, I live next door and do not understand why they think it’s acceptable to pound loud music past 11pm on a Tuesday."
"The music was great, it was mostly house music with some 90s dance music vibes."
"Then they changed their chill hop vibes music to some top 40 bs."
