I'm so glad I stopped by Southland Hardware because you will not be finding me at a big box…read morehardware store moving forward. They have just about anything for home improvement and projects. I was greeted at the front by a friendly lady who guided me to what I was looking for. She went above and beyond with explaining the different types of pesticides and her personal experiences and recommended methods of application (scatter the boric acid around instead of a straight line for roaches, which I didn't know!). It was a lot of fun browsing the store because there was so much to take in. The layout is like an antique store but for hardware, from plumbing to doorknobs to cleaning supplies, they had just about everything. I had an extremely great experience at Southland and will be back! And do not fret about parking, there is a large - by Montrose standards - parking lot in the back.

It's where Robert Durst bought his tools to dismember that body. I digress. Anyway, local hardware stores are the heart of any city. On my way after a Yelp pick Up at Cosmic Juice across the street, I saw Southland Hardware and we decided to drop by. It was like going to the candy store for my husband. He was enthralled with all of the knick knacks that he was in one aisle for a long time while I chased around my three year old who was equally entertained by all of the parts such a store can have. They sold everything from small appliances to gardening items and anything you might need to help your home. I didn't know what anything was except for the snacks and they had a good and unique variety of those. Everyone was helpful and super chill. I appreciate the chill these days a lot more than I used to. What a great neighborhood find and yes things might seem a little bit more than say Amazon or another big box store but putting money into a community store helps save your community in the long run. You help the people who live there and put back into the place you live.

The prices are at a bit of a premium, but again worth it to shop somewhere that's nota big-box and right in the neighborhood. There's a good assortment of things and though small, I'm pretty sure they will have what you need. There's odds and ends all over the store. Would definitely visit more.

Must be a multi billionaire or out of your mind to get anyone to help you. (FYI everything in glass cabinets) 2. Wow they have some cool accents. Sorry folks don't work. The price will blow you into next week. FOR EVERYTHING. For instance a knob that you would attach to a cabinet, from the 60,s anywhere else would be maybe 10$ at most. For 1knob. They wanted 45$ for one plastic and metal knob. Maybe 1in wide. 3. The moment I walked in the door you feel like all eyes on you. Yet no one will help. Maybe I'm just used to southern hospitality.

Gem of a store…read more Settler's is an antiques store that stocks both used and replicated antique hardware. Some of the selections are 150 year old original pieces, others reproductions that are dated and some new. If you are looking to spice up your boring home with some rustic, antique ambiance, take a visit in and see for yourself. The owner, Susan, is exceptionally helpful, having been a furniture restorer for most of her life. Granted, some of the prices can be a little steep; this is especially true of the used, original pieces as these are now relics of another era; the replicas can be substantially cheaper and look just about the same.

East End Hardware was our final stop of the evening, and overall, it was a really cool experience…read more After dinner at Nancy's Hustle, we walked down the block to East End Hardware because I had specifically looked them up and wanted to try one of their snowball cocktails. Since this was a first date, I loved that we could just walk over, grab a drink, sit at the bar and keep the conversation going. I ordered the Strawberry Snowball, made with Peruvian pisco and strawberry syrup. It was good, and the portion was definitely large enough to share, which made it kind of fun for a date. I will say, though, I think I expected it to be a little more "cocktail" and a little less "snowball." There was A LOT of ice, and I found myself wishing there was a little more actual cocktail mixed throughout it. It wasn't bad at all--it just wasn't quite what I had pictured when I decided I wanted to try one. One thing I REALLY liked about East End Hardware was the selection of board games and card games available to play while you hang out. We initially grabbed Connect Four, but unfortunately something was wrong with the bottom and it wouldn't latch to hold the pieces. So we switched over to Battleship--and that actually turned out to be really cute! We sat at the bar playing Battleship, sharing our Strawberry Snowball and talking. It added a fun, playful element to the date instead of us just sitting there having another drink. I definitely think the games are a nice touch, especially if you're coming here on a date or with friends. The atmosphere was great, too. East End Hardware has a cool, quaint, laid-back vibe that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile. I'd definitely go back, although next time I think I'd skip the snowball and try one of their regular cocktails instead. But I would absolutely grab another game while I'm there. Overall, a cool neighborhood spot and a really fun way to end the night.
