Melrose is a beautiful cocktail bar with an upscale, chic atmosphere that's absolutely gorgeous inside. The décor is stylish, elegant, and incredibly aesthetically pleasing--especially if you appreciate a feminine, luxurious vibe. It's the kind of place that makes you want to snap a few photos before you even order. Kat and Eric were outstanding bartenders. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and crafted some truly delicious cocktails. The Mango Habanero Margarita was the standout of the night--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweet, citrus, and a subtle kick of heat. The menu focuses on small plates, and everything we ordered was satisfying. The chicken tenders topped with two caviar bumps were a fun, elevated twist on a comfort food favorite. We also shared the gigantic charcuterie board, which was beautifully presented and had plenty to enjoy. Overall, Melrose is a great spot for date night, girls' night out, or cocktails with friends. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there's still a little room to elevate the overall experience. That said, I'd definitely return for the atmosphere, the cocktails, and the excellent service from Kat and Eric. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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
