Late actor Heath Ledger’s Brooklyn bar, Five Leaves, is set to open to the public on Wednesday, Us Weekly reported. The venue reportedly hosted a small opening party for friends and family on Friday night.
The bar, now funded by Heath’s estate, was backed by the actor prior to his death in January.
“It’s all meant to be a super casual California and Australia-tinged cafe, coffeehouse and oyster bar, with greenmarket snacks,” wrote a critic for New York lifestyle Web site UrbanDaddy.com.

The laid-back environment makes for “a bar that Thomas Edison might have built for his buddies,” the review continued.
And it’s not far from his family — his ex, Michelle Williams, and the couple’s daughter, Matilda, are Brooklyn residents.
