About

Bar: Full barBest nights: Tue, Fri, Sat

Walk into a former hardware store turned into a sleek, modern watering hole. Hardware keeps things low-key but lively, with affordable drinks and late-night drag shows that pull a mixed crowd of 20-somethings and locals.

"It's a great place to hang out with friends, and the bartenders are always nice."

Happy hour runs from 4 to 9 PM, so grab a cheap drink on the patio or inside by the video screens. It's open until 4am every night, making it a solid last stop in Hell's Kitchen.

Hardware is located in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan's bustling gayborhood known for its concentration of LGBTQ+ bars and nightlife.
