| - Melrose for me has become a regular hot spot. I love the atmosphere, the crowd is decent and the staff care about their customers. The food is typical bar food, consisting of dry ribs to flat bread pizza's to steak sandwiches, nothing to rave about to be perfectly honest, but it fills the spot on nights where the drinks are plentiful.
The staff are awesome, catering to every need or want in various sizes from a table of two, to a table of 15 +. If, for whatever reason there's a problem or complaint they also have a great team of managers who professionally address and handle the situation, both in person, or online.
Thats right, I said online. Many of us have taken to the internet to bitch about our experiences after we've left the establishment, for fear of ruffling any feathers or "causing a scene" that might make ourselves or our company uncomfortable if dealt with right then and there. Thanks to Tony at Melrose, they've got their eyes and ears online
On one side they have a nice open space bright and welcoming restaurant that walks through to a quaint, heated patio for families or for people who enjoy a sit down beverage and (in the summer) catch a few rays. The other side, the bar, (believe it or not) 3 Levels. It much darker than the restaurant, giving it a nightclub-ish feel with a DJ spinning top 40 on weekends.
I'm slightly confused with the decor, simply because there are giant Chinese? symbols on the wall with various red lighting throughout the three levels, yet, there is nothing asian on the menu (that I've seen). Regardless its still a nice atmosphere and a great place to go on game days, as their walls are also filled with Giant flat screen TV's.
I must heed warning though, the bar seems to attract a lot (but not all) 25-40 year old UFC fan - type men on a regular basis and various age groups for women. So if "juiced up" Jersey shore mixed with Tapout and UFC people are your 'thing' then you'll be fine.
If you're looking for a great place to go to have drinks with friends, catch the game, or even tear up their dance floor, I strongly suggest hitting up Melrose for a great night out. Oh, and to fix your hangover the next day, hit up their Sunday Brunch, that hosts a great variety of breakfast goodies. Check out Jenn D's Review on Sunday Brunch :)
