No, the newly opened business at 3005 Leeland, East End Hardware, doesn't have an inventory of nails and hammers.

Instead, the latest bar open in the Houston's East End is serving up cocktails, a selection of 20 brews on tap and sno-balls. New Orleans-style sno-balls are different from traditional snow cones because the time-honored confection is comprised of finely shaved ice that lends a fluffy, almost velvety consistency. The liquor-spiked sno-balls at East End Hardware come in a handful of flavors, including pina colada, screwdriver, a rum-filled fruit punch and "Strawberry Pisco."

The beer selection includes 8th Wonder Brewery's "Rocket Fuel" and "Cougar Paw" and Lone Pint Brewery's "Yellow Rose."

The space, a former hardware store, was renovated to house a contemporary collection of wall art and decor. There's also a projector wall that will display a variety of shows, and a large rolling door that can open up for indoor-outdoor events.

Beyond drink offerings, the menu also boasts a small selection of savory treats, including hummus, pimento cheese and panini. Some of the sandwiches include a roast beef and brie option with dijon and raspberry chipotle, another has prosciutto and salami. There's also a classic club sandwich and a turkey pesto panini served with sides that include spicy Taiwanese cucumber salad or a herb-potato salad.

The new spot is open 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturdays and noon to 12 a.m. Sundays.
