"Despite the name, the cocktail and patio bar East End Hardware technically resides in EaDo, according to whoever draws those business district map thingies. Tomato, tomato. What we do know this place serves boozy snow cones and has a jukebox full of mid-2000s emo and rock bangers that would make a geriatric millennial weep with joy. There's also a solid list of craft beer, easy drinking cocktails, and a couple of TVs playing sports. Converted from an actual hardware store, the inside looks more like a renovated small town community center you would see on a made-for-TV rom-com, so, charming. Pull up and sip something alone, or join a few friends for a low key night on the patio." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
