"For “elder millennials” or anyone who loved calling their bartender a mixologist in 2012, Laurel Hardware should sound familiar. The clubby spot is where you went for mediocre duck fried rice, aloof service, and hearing Stoli brand ambassadors say things like, “you know, this used to be an actual hardware store.” Somehow, nothing’s changed since—if anything, this place is even more over the top. The place to be is still the patio, which has doubled in size and can now fit an entire sorority's worth of public relations coordinators." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
