In 1996, Michael and Tara Purdum opened the first Old Bag of Nails by converting a hometown hardware store. We were inspired by the original location being the old Zettler Hardware Store in Worthington, OH. The old wood floors and rustic charm have been with the restaurant since the beginning. Back in 1996, we decided what was missing in the area of High Street was a pub. So, we talked to the owner of Zettler Hardware about taking 1,500 square feet of his store and developing it into a pub. He said "if you think you can make it, go ahead." We've been "making it" ever since.
