Ellen R. noted, "Arrived at 7 and plenty of tables to pick from. The very long bar was pretty full. Nice choice of cocktails and other options too. Small snack menu, but it embraces the retro vibe so not a normal bar."

Hammer & Nail is open from 4 p.m.–midnight on Monday through Saturday and 4 p.m.–10 p.m. on Sunday.
