I am so glad we stumbled upon Wilson Hardware Kitchen & Bar last Saturday night. We originally were in the area to try another spot but decided against it, so glad we did. We arrived around 10pm and the security guard that was standing outside told us that this place had pretty good food so we decided to try it out.
As we walked in, we immediately noticed how cool this place looked. The beautiful, large wall art, the unique light fixtures and the strobe lighting made this place stand out. There was also a DJ on the second floor playing upbeat music so it was a whole vibe. Once we were seated, the waiter informed us that kitchen closed at 10:30pm but that we had time to order so we quickly decided on some food and drinks.
We ordered the Rosé Margarita and the Hardware Lemonade which were both really good. We also ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Wilson Royale Sandwich, both came with fries! Listen, if I could've ordered about 3 more of those sandwiches "to-go", I would have. The Grilled Chicken Sandwich included juicy chicken breast, hardware sauce, white cheddar, carmelized onions, arugula, tomato and spicy aioli on sourdough bread. The Wilson Royale included short ribs, fontina cheese, carmelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and horseradish cream on ciabatta bread! The flavors of those ingredients on those sandwiches made it absolutely delicious!!! Hands down, some of the best sandwiches I've ever had!
While we were finishing our meals, we started seeing them remove some of the tables and chairs next to us and throughout the restaurant, we had no idea what was going on. We were seated in what looked to be a VIP section but the waiter graciously told us we could finish our food and stay in that area the whole night. Well after about the 5th time telling us that we could continue to sit there and then blocking that area off from other guests, I felt like they were trying to give us a hint so we decided to leave that area and just stand at one of the open tables to finish our drinks.
At about 11pm, the restaurant started to get really packed and it felt like we were in a dance club. The DJ was playing really good music and everyone was dancing around and having a great time. It was definitely a super fun experience but once it got too crowded (around Midnight), we decided to leave.
Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant experience. The waiters were exceptionally friendly. The food and drinks were a 10/10 and DJ was on point. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy some amazing food and a fun night out.
