It s called The Hardware Store but it isn t a real hardware store
This unique business s name is The Hardware Store, but it s actually an underground speakeasy that sells craft cocktails. You ll find it in downtown Anoka, on the corner of 2nd Avenue and Jackson Street, a little over an hour 40 minutes north of Rochester. But it s not your usual hardware store, and you won t find any typical home improvement items in it.

Actually, that s not entirely true. Once you enter The Hardware Store, you WILL see a selection of tools. But if you ask to buy a hammer (which you need to do to get into the actual bar), you ll be lead downstairs into one of Minnesota s newest speakeasy bars where they sell craft cocktails if you can find it, that is.
