Hardware Bar

So much fun. The girls were phenomenal ✨

Loved it here except the bathroom was always in use and dirty but loved the vibes

Recently moved to the big apple and come here quite often - drinks are always strong, cheap and bar staff always friendly and attentive.

Go here to dance!! Went at around 10PM on a Friday night, and the dance floor was kinda dead until around 11PM, and then people really showed up. Drinks were not the strongest, but tasty, and the dance floor was huge and atmospheric. Also, great bathroom, and drag on and off. Definitely coming back!

My favorite bartender is Steven M. First off he is an amazing bartender and does his job so well. Always knows my drink before I come thru the door. Secondly he is an amazing person and human being. One of the greatest people I know

Got there in see an old friend. He wasn’t there, but Steve and Tim made me feel at home.

I've come here after BARS kickball now twice (Sunday afternoons) and I've had a good experience. Bartenders were friendly enough and the place is well air-conditioned. Each time the prices were good, especially getting a 16-ounce Blue Moon for $5 (unheard of). I also appreciate that there's way more space and indoor seating here than at DBL. It seems to me that this place is well suited for a relaxed, social drinking experience with simple highballs or draft beer; I haven't been on a Friday or Saturday night looking to dance and I haven't ordered a signature cocktail, so I can't speak on that

Nolan at the bar was simply disrespectful and rude. It was a quiet evening and we spend so much money and being treated as such was a big disappointment.

we went in yesterday 10th july. only just opened so quiet but nice looking bar, clean and exceptionally welcoming bar tender. Would revisit

Always a good time at Hardware, especially if Shequida is performing. The bartenders aren’t usually the friendliest (why I’m giving 4 stars). The server however is very sweet. Drinks are reasonable priced and there’s usually a large selection, but they definitely tend to be on the weaker side. Unlike places like Pieces, this venue is large and features a lot of seating as well as 2 bathroom options which is great. Overall, I recommend, especially for their nightly drag shows.

Went for the first time last night and honestly—this place just doesn’t cut it compared to other gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen. Paid $15 for a drink in a flimsy plastic cup that was only half-filled. Two sips and it was gone. On top of that, the alcohol was so watered down I could barely taste it. What a rip-off. Totally underwhelming vibe, too. You’re better off heading to Rise or Industry—more energy, more people, and actual drinks that feel worth the price. Won’t be coming back.
