The best ambiance you could ever want from a cocktail lounge! Showed up around 8:30 pm on a Monday and it so moody and sexy and amazing. Not only do they have an indoor area with the coziest seating, they also have a rooftop and an outdoor area. I love love love this place and it was such a nice surprise when I walked in! I also was amazed by the service. Bri was absolutely amazing and so sweet and recommend the best cocktails and drinks to order. The mango margarita is a 1000000/10 and I highly recommend. It even comes with 2 mango balls and a black salt and is a lil spicy! read more

Melrose has been on my list for awhile now and I finally got the chance to go for drinks later in the evening during the week. To start, the ambiance is gorgeous. It's modern, spacious, and feels really luxe with earthy tones and interesting design elements. With this in mind, I definitely recommend dressing up. The cocktails that we tried were all well balanced and beautifully presented in delicate glassware and thoughtful garnishes. These are all $17 but the bartender mentioned that they also do a happy hour until 6:30 during which cocktails are $10. I will definitely come back for this another day. We also got the Carajillo shots, a cocktail that we normally enjoy, and while they came in cute little long steamed shot glasses, and were tasty, the strength of the shot was honestly just like a tiny portion of the regular cocktail. I would skip this next time and just get a full size version. Gratuity (20%) is added to all tabs in addition to a credit card processing fee (3%). Parking in Montrose is always a challenge so I would definitely recommend taking an Uber or Lyft. Overall, a solid spot for drinks! read more

Melrose never misses. The vibes are always great. Good music, but not so loud that you can't actually talk and enjoy dinner. We went on a Wednesday night and it wasn't overly packed, which made it the perfect atmosphere. We got the Southside and the Detox drinks, plus the pigs in a blanket and crispy tuna rice for appetizers, and everything was really good. The service also was attentive and clearing plates almost immediately after we finished. Overall, such a solid spot for good food, drinks, and energy! read more

We won a gift card here at a charity event and had a ball spending every dime. I had my first martini and caviar bump and I'm a fan!! I loved every drink we got. The staff was almost too attentive trying to clear our table but we held on to our delicious charcuterie and some of the best fries I've had in a long time. The vibes of this place are immaculate and I'm so sad I didn't come here sooner read more

My friends and I saw the Melrose Tuesday Oyster & Martini Happy Hour on instagram and it would be a perfect spot to meet up after work. With everything going on with gulf oysters (bacteria/ people getting sick) , we had made sure it would be east oysters. Upon arrival, we each ordered a drink and then attempted to order oysters when we were informed they were gulf despite the post and reel saying it was East coast oysters. We were all very disappointed. The guys of the group all ordered burgers and fries from the HH menu instead. The fries arrived and are pretty thick cut and I enjoyed them. The burgers are pretty lack luster and I was glad I hadn't ordered one (especially when the guys said they weren't that good and weren't worth ordering again). The ambiance was great although I'd say the music was a bit too loud for an early Tuesday. With that said, it wasn't an issue and we still enjoyed the vibe very much. Additionally, the service was great. We were a bit surprised at the end that even for parties of 4 or less, gratuity is automatically added. All in all, I'd go again for the ambiance, service and cocktails but the food is to be skipped. read more

Going to Melrose for happy hour during the week is a cheat code! You can get in, enjoy some nice drinks at a great price, and get out before it becomes hectic during the nights/weekends. All 6 of the drinks we got were phenomenal. They all were presented beautifully and had a nice touch to make them "different" from the classics. Atmosphere and ambience are great here too. The patio is beautiful as well! read more

Popped into Melrose for a quick cocktail. Mezcal is one of my favorites, so I ordered the Tepache Mezcalita--and it was amazing. You can tell each signature cocktail is carefully crafted to suit a variety of palates. We didn't come during happy hour, so the price was $17. But if you're on a budget, stop by Monday-Friday from 4:00-6:30 PM, when all signature cocktails are just $10! Also the aesthetic is already beautiful in here and the service is phenomenal at the bar. read more

Tried Melrose for the 1st time to celebrate my best friend's birthday and we will most certainly be back. The vibes are immaculate, dimly lit, would be super cute for a date night. The drinks 10 out of 10 -- service 100/10...we tried the "Southside" a gin based drink & had a couple of the signature shots. Shout out to Fabby, the sweetest most knowledgeable bartender, Caleb, and Evan. I'd recommend to anyone! read more

I'll be honest with y'all, I had some serious reservations about coming here (and not just the 6pm kind). Get it? No? Anyways, Melrose has had a reputation for being very selective at the door, especially with their so-called "dress code," which, to be clear, has been known to feel discriminatory toward people who look like me. I'm all for a dress code but when you pick and choose who it applies to, that's where you lose me. If it wasn't for my friend begging to go before she moved, I wouldn't have ever patronized them. That said, we had no issues at the door and the actual experience was surprisingly pleasant. We opted to sit outside at the bar instead of inside (way too cold in there), and the outdoor patio was gorgeous. They even had an upstairs seating area. Walter, our bartender, was the best part of the night. He made me the most refreshing mocktails and kept us locked in with great conversation. For food, we shared the fries and the spicy tuna rice crisp. Both were tasty, though I wish the menu was a bit more extensive, but I hear that's changing soon. Overall, we had a genuinely good time. The staff we interacted with were warm and welcoming. My only lingering side-eye is still the door policy. I've heard the bouncer situation has been addressed, and I truly hope that's the case, because the hospitality inside is worth experiencing without the headache at the door. Here's to being better and doing better Melrose! read more

Okay this place is so posh! Apparently this place is all the rage on the socials but a friend hosted a bday happy hour here so I came through. I lovvveee the decor very cutesy, elegant and sleek. It is actually a pleasant surprise when you enter in comparison to the exterior. They have a very limited food menu and exquisite drinks! They are strong, unique and well made! Our waitress was fire and really provided top notch serivice. Now it was entirely too hot to be sitting outside, but once the weather permits I will be exploring their beautiful patio! There is also space for photos as there is a cute koi pond and the quintessential grass wall. There is street parking and complimentary valet. They might change at night. I went during HH so I can't speak to their evening shenanigans but! I had a great time and would definitely come back for their HH. read more

Came here for happy hour, and the drinks were good, but it was pretty empty and not the best atmosphere. But it was perfect for a good yap session :) the bartender was attentive and even let us know that he could make the shots into full sized drinks for happy hour. There is valet parking, or if you're lucky, street parking as well. read more

fantastic place. We love it here. Marissa has been such a fantastic host. We can't wait to come back

Walking in is like walking into a vacation. I love the open space and scenery. The outdoor patio is perfect for summers. We went for brunch and the place was not quite full yet so service was quick. The espresso martini was good and the lox and bagel were satisfactory. I loved the presentation. My friends enjoyed their chicken and biscuits I would love to see this place in the night time.

This new Lounge Bar created by the person that owned Clarkwood when it was good really knocked it out of the park with this very sultry inspired Lounge. Luan is an amazing bartender and we will follow him everywhere and I even told him "You know this place feels like the ambiance I miss at Clarkwood" that's when I discovered the owner who created Clarkwood creared Melrose as well, I had the pleasure of enjoying 2 cocktails there, a Carajillo and Southside, for bites we had some truffle fries which were amazing and the sauces they serve with it are really good! Can't remember what it was but of course ketchup and mayo and if you know about that you know mixing that on fries tastes amazing! I was impressed with their Tuna Rice Cakes, I was skeptical at first but Luan knew it is Lent and suggested and he knew exactly what I needed! One of the waitresses there, Alejandra, was very sweet and accommodating, she allowed me and my friend to probably bore her ear to death with chatting her up but she was very graceful and a class act! It's needless to say Melrose did it right and was very particular about staff selections which I love! Everyone there was amazing and very welcoming! Top notch service if I may say so myself!! And the ambiance... breathtaking! I love this new rendition and I really think I found a spot I can finally frequent. I am glad I had the privilege of experiencing the lounge before the crazy rush came in so I could enjoy and take in all its splendor! Great job whoever the owner is! Oh and also DJ Vee was spinning some literal eargasm sounds! Love the genre! read more

I went down for Happy Hour on a Friday evening. I had 4 cocktails, and they were all pretty nice. Happy Hour is from 4-630pm. When I arrived around 430pm, it was quite empty but the crowd did pick up a bit later. $10 cocktails during HH were a pretty good deal. I had the mango habanero margarita, peach & orange blossom martini and the passionfruit colado. I enjoyed all 3 though I would say there was a lot of ice and the portions were on the smaller side. For my last drink, I ordered the matcha martini but wasn't a fan, so they made me a cocktail from the berry bomb shot instead, which was nice. (They can make cocktails from any of the shots). I sat at the bar, and there was a rotating group of bartenders. I would say the first 2 were not particularly friendly, but our last bartender was very friendly and nice, which made up for it! Maybe it's just me, but I think when you have people sitting at the bar, it's always nice for bartenders to make an effort and be friendly and chatty, especially if someone is sitting alone at the bar! read more

We went to Melrose for cocktails on a Saturday evening before a 7pm dinner reservation. This was actually our second attempt at trying this new hot spot because the first time we came there was literally not a single seat available. This time, there were several tables open but only one that didn't have a reserved sign on top so we snagged that one. I do feel that they would benefit from having a hostess to help with seating instead of a seat yourself situation, but I digress. Our waitress was super friendly and made recommendations when solicited. My husband really enjoyed the espresso tini and my friends liked the detox martini and the Southside. The ambiance in the space is very chic but it was also absolutely freezing cold. Unsure if it's always that cold but I became physically uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed the experience and I think it's a good addition to the neighborhood. read more

Melrose is a cute, sophisticated cocktail bar that reminds me of a place I would find in LA. I came for happy hour, and while it did take a couple of minutes for the server to notice I was seated, my waitress and waiter were very kind. I started off with an espresso martini, which, to my surprise was very well-balanced with notes of cinnamon. I also enjoyed the Melrose burger. I really liked the brioche bun on the burger. I will say the actual burger was slightly too salty for me, as it seemed to have sea salt, but pay no mind to me as I typically am salt-averse. I also am not typically a pickle fan but I liked the pickles on this burger (the acidity also helped cut through the salt for me!). Overall I really enjoyed the two items I had as well as the ambiance of this spot. Would come again for drinks and small bites with friends! read more

I was surprised with a bday reservation here by my bf. The place is gorgeous and gives Tulum vibes. The lighting and decor is amazing. Our waitresses were great as well. We had a board and drinks and all were up to par. My only complaint was my bf asked prior to coming was a photographer ok to bring in and was approved and was denied once he arrived. It upset me because he literally had the photographer there a few nights before so that was weird of the manager. This was going to be epic for me. read more
