Last Call

Ben Montgomery: TAMPA — Scott Lambert built his bar with nails and sweat and his wife's blessing. He painted the walls hell-fire red and the bar top midnight black and he lined the shelves with spirits. This all happened back in 2000, when Scott and Danielle O'Connor left Cape Cod and moved into an old bungalow in Seminole Heights.



And now we join them, on a Saturday evening, as the cerveza sweats and the regulars say their goodbyes to Scott, 34, who is going away for a while, and to his bar, which is closing until he returns.
