High end, delicious food, awesome service, perfectly mixed drinks. Try the Hardware Old Fashion and the espresso Martini. The Manhattan New York strip was delicious and cooked perfectly with the smashed golden potatoes. The pork tenderloiwas also good as well as the stuffed chicken. Sorry I can’t remember the name of the chicken. The rolls are to die for.
This place is sustainable in that they grow there own veggies and fruits brew there own beer and use the grains from the beer brewing process to make the flour for the breads. You really should check it out.

Wow! Yes! Go! Now! Exceptionally fresh food and drink. Very attentive staff and great vibes inside. Locally sourced food. Some of their own veggies and hops. We enjoyed octopus and brisket tacos. Beer was very fresh and not too heavy. My wife enjoyed the best espresso martini of her life. Nice chill atmosphere too.

Stepping into this cozy gastropub feels like slipping on your favorite vintage leather jacket- comfort meets class with a dash of attitude. It’s where “casual night out” accidentally turns into “I should’ve worn something nicer…but I’m glad I didn’t.”

The menu reads like a love letter to refreshed American classics: fish & chips that somehow taste both nostalgic and brand-new, melt-in-your-mouth brisket and pork shoulder that should honestly come with a warning label (“may cause emotional attachment”), and then…plot twist…a zucchini lemon cake that will make you question every dessert decision you’ve made in your life up until this point.

Pair it all with a whiskey lineup longer than a CVS receipt and wine options that whisper “treat yourself,” and suddenly your simple dinner turned into a flavor adventure.

The atmosphere? Imagine if a jazz lounge and your favorite 90’s playlist had a stylish, slightly moody baby. One second you’re savoring your food, and the next you’re hit with a smooth saxophone version of Britney Spears- nostalgia so strong you’ll feel like you’re back in butterfly clips and cargo pants (in the best way).

Warm service, cozy-chic vibes, food that comforts and surprises..this place doesn’t just feed you; it hugs your soul. Come hungry, leave happy, and prepare for your new favorite “just one drink” spot that always becomes three. Cheers ✨

Hardware Gastropub is one of those rare restaurants that truly walks the talk when it comes to sustainability and creativity. Located just outside Chicago, it’s more than a restaurant — it’s an experience. They grow much of their own food, from hops and herbs to lettuces, microgreens, and even fruit and nut trees. You can taste the freshness and care in every bite.

Each dish feels like a work of art — thoughtful, inventive, and beautifully presented. The menu celebrates flavor and craftsmanship in a way that clearly reflects the passion of the chef and the entire team. Every plate stands out with something unique, whether it’s an unexpected pairing or a creative twist that just works.

The space itself has a warm, earthy feel that matches their farm-to-table philosophy perfectly. Hardware isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a place to be inspired by how good, sustainable food can taste. ✨

The place is very nice the service is really good but the food nothing special and it is very very expensive maybe a one time visit to enjoy or maybe just to have a drink recommended maybe for one time.

Very innovative restaurant. They grow and make almost everything in house utilising rain water so you could not have fresher ingredients. We went in April when the weather was not as nice but I am sure it looks better in summer when everything is green. Food was absolutely delicious. Great pairings and well seasoned. Countless whiskey options that they brew as well as beer. Their alcohol is super strong so be mindful. Plenty of parking and seating area. All employees were super nice and efficient. Can answer any questions and recommend specialties. Definitely recommend

We visited for dinner on a Saturday. The menu and staff were very kid friendly. Service was above and beyond. The kids loved the Mac and cheese and chicken tenders. The cinnamon vanilla ice cream was a hit for desert. The manhattan steak and beef brisket were cooked perfectly and delicious. The sazerac, hardware old fashioned, manhattan and bourbon espresso martini were great. The ho ho desert was ok but lacked the rich flavor we expected. Next time we’ll skip and get the adult version of the cinnamon vanilla ice cream. Definitely recommend for either a date night or nice night out with the kids.

Food was really delicious. The service is really friendly and they all wear flannels! They have lots of space inside but also take reservations. Great for a date night, meal with friends or family, or special occasions.

We had the burrata which changes daily, roasted beets, bacon salad, and brisket. The brisket was incredible and smoked in house. Great selection of beers with house brewed hops, and tons of brown liquors and cocktails. You can’t go wrong here!
