It’s not unheard of for hardware stores in Vermont to offer food. Plainfield Hardware has a deli, and, in Cabot, Sarah’s Country Diner offers breakfast and lunch at the back of Harry’s Hardware. But a bar? Never seen … until a month ago.
“We’re the first [hardware store bar] in Vermont,” said Bobby Searles, who, along with Harry’s Hardware co-owners Johanna and Rory Thibault, began serving adult beverages at the shop in late July. This weekend, Team Harry’s is throwing a block party to celebrate.
