They also have live music. Last Resort Bar on South Ridgewood Avenue is famous for its role as the last place where Aileen Wuornos sipped a cold beer. Since then, it has been featured in the movie "Monster," a retelling of her story. Now, Wuornos memorabilia decorate the bar, from the walls to the hot sauce bottles.
