Here at Hardware, we are looking to change the way people think about eating local. At Hardware we strive to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum by growing our own produce and using reclaimed building materials as design elements. Our onsite organic Greenhouse provides us with lettuces and micro greens for our salads. The roof of the building is designed to reclaim all rain water to irrigate ou

r greenhouse. The greenhouse is showcased in the bar area in our restaurant. Utilizing our suburban property, we have planted a micro orchard which will provide us with fruits and nuts. Our patio is home to our herb garden. Behind our building is our BBGB 1.5 acre organic hop farm. We use a 250 foot well into an underground aquifer to supply all of our water for production in our brewery. Besides brewing our own beer, Hardware is currently home to the largest whiskey selection in the western suburbs. With over 400, our extensive list includes tasting notes for every whiskey. Try one of our house blended whiskies, a whiskey flight or one of our prohibition era inspired scratch cocktails. Overall, Hardware is a unique local dining experience. Come in and try us out. You'll be glad you did.

Newest additions to the whiskey wall!

STILL AUSTIN RED CORN 7YR B.I.B. - the latest from Still Austin's seasonal bottled-in-bond series. We have the 5yr and 6yr on the wall as well, so pop by and see what each year in the Texas heat does to this staff favorite!

WILD TURKEY "CHEESY" GOLD FOIL - this highly anticipated release pays homage to the Gold Foil releases of the 80's/early 90's. At 16 years old and 120 proof, this has already been flagged by one of our guests as the best bourbon they have had in years.

LITTLE BOOK CHAPTER 10 "ALL THE WISER" - a blend of bourbons from Jim Beam's Rickhouses, aged 4-14 years old, this release adds to our vertical of every Little Book release all the way back to Chapter One!

Stop by soon and check them out! These are limited releases, so when they are gone, they are GONE!
