Did the Mayans really predict that a cataclysm would occur on December 21, 2012, ending the world as we know it? Maybe! And just in case, these five restaurants want to you to spend your last hours with them, partying like there's no tomorrow and throwing down with drink specials, champagne toasts, and free beer. Survivors get really awesome perks like complimentary breakfast buffets and hangovers.
