Before Heath Ledger's death earlier this year, the Aussie actor was a partner and investor in a bar he planned to open in Brooklyn. The reason it hasn't been opened was due to financial costs. But now..Heath's father, Kim, stated that Ledger would have wanted the bar to move forward. So, being the executor of his estate, he allowed the release of the funds his son had previously allocated for the project. The bar is located at the corner of Lorimer Street and Bedford Avenue in Greenpoint (Brooklyn), New York.
The new venue has a nautical theme and it is going to be called Five Leaves (after "Swan cigarette papers that tell you when there are just five left in a package").
It will be opened before the end of the year.
