I had a nice time! Drinks are reasonable/average price for midtown (and strong pours) and the drag queens perform intermittently which is fun.
Went to Hardware for the first time last night to see Laganja Estranja. Thanks so much for booking the doll- I hope to see her again at Hardware soon! Also, I really want to shout out your amazing staff and patrons who treated us so well. My husband and I are elderly (over 40 ) and tragically straight, but were not made to feel unwelcome or out of place. Looking forward to coming back to Hardware next time we are in NY.
Couldn't find anyone to dance with which annoyed the heck out of me, plus all draw queens avoided interacting, as usual...
Order two drinks, bar tender says $42. I look down at my cash…look up to him and say $42!? He responds, no $22. Was my second drink. No I’m not drunk, shady.
Unpleasant experience! Bartender was extremely rude to my friends and called them broke b****** and snatched the bill away from while they were talking about the tip.
Great music and vibes, even on a Sunday night
Nice vibe. Reasonably priced drinks.
Super Expensive drinks! $USD 48 for 2 gin and tonics compared to other venues which were $21 for 2 G&TS nearby and busier gay venues. Shocking!
This has been one of my go-to bars for years now. Reliable, great bartenders, amazing music (especially Fridays) and overall fun vibes.
