The Last Word

"We're going for a speakeasy kind of feel," is the smooth response of Andy, the bartender at The Last Word, to the question of why his bar always looks like it's closed. The Last Word opened last February in the former Goodnite Gracie and has no signage out front, just a raw-looking pinkish metal frame where a sign used to be. The entrance on Huron gets major drive-by but little walk-by traffic (if you get close enough, a small paper sign behind a glass case gives the relevant details).

What's happening in local stores and eateries, and restaurant reviews.
