Heath Ledger's bar, Five Leaves, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City is set to open on Wednesday, almost eight months after the actor's untimely death.

"It's all meant to be a super casual California- and Australia-tinged cafe, coffeehouse and oyster bar, with greenmarket snacks," a critic for UrbanDaddy.com wrote.

With steel light fixtures and "wire concoctions that seem right out of a lab," Five Leaves resembles "a bar that Thomas Edison might have built for his buddies," according to the review. The door to the bar's bathroom is a "massive, '20s-era boiler room door."

On the bar's menu? Sliced radishes on toast with Evans Farmhouse butter.

See photos of other stars' restaurants.

Ledger, who financially backed the bar, died at age 28 of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January.

Ledger's ex Michelle Williams lives with their 2-year-old daughter Matilda in Brooklyn.

New years 2008: my little brother Chris dropped dead - a moving testimony to a brother with asperger's syndrome, by zen peace. Asperger's is a mild form of autism that often goes undetected. Chris was a doctor and a dentist, married to someone very controlling and had manipulative relatives. Inhouse vigilance and support for doctors within the high functioning autistic spectrum is called for.

I just got back from the bar, and, could you believe it, Heath didn't even show up? That is pretty rude not being there on the grand opening of his establishment.
