Perfectly executed, no frills simplicity at its best.
Melinda's offers a nice simple ultimate vibe but doesn't rely on its gimmicky speakeasy backdoor entrance to carry it. There's plenty of walkaround/standing space, but seating is limited so its best to arrive as just you and your date or a couple of friends.
The menu is usually only 5 drinks, but dont fret, they're all different and phenomenal. There are only a couple of bartenders on staff and they take their time to expertly construct your cocktail with the appropriate tools/glassware, so be patient, it's worth it.
Melinda's is a great cocktail bar and pairs well with the other great cocktail bar in walking distance, Bitter & twisted.
Cheers!
UPDATE: Melinda's now accepts credit/debit cards
