“Clarendon has definitely been overdue for a place like Wilson Hardware, so we’re thrilled to be in the neighborhood,” co-owner Jad Bouchebel said in a statement. “We know how important the history of this landmark is and look forward to welcoming new faces to our restaurant.”

Patrons can expect innovative bar bites like Hardware fritters, crab dip and panzerotti—crisp-fried pizza dough stuffed with cheeses and marinara sauce. Other menu staples include grass-fed beef, avocado burger, duck confit, steak frites and pan-seared salmon.

Wilson Hardware is named as an homage to Virginia Hardware, the hardware shop that occupied the storefront location on Wilson from the early 1960s until 2005, according to a press release.
