The rooftop at Clarendon newcomer Wilson Hardware is oh-so-chic. The stark white decor, contrasted with ivy-covered walls, makes for a perfect photo backdrop. And the cocktails aren’t half bad either. The bar’s signature “Bright Idea” (tequila, lime, grapefruit, strawberry, aperol and sparkling wine) serves two and is served in a jumbo light-bulb glass with a curly straw. Or try the “Supply Run” cocktail, which features white rum, pineapple, cucumber, honey and basil on ice.
