| - I know mine is just one of many "yelps" on Melrose Cafe & Bar, and I have read both good and bad reviews on it...but I will just give my own opinion. I have only been once so far, for a networking event just recently. Let me start by saying that it is fairly easy to find along 17th Ave SW and I understand it's the "heart of the Red Mile". I can sure see why, because when you walk in, it's obvious how busy it would be during Flames nights, right down to the red lighting effects.
It is a very spacious restaurant/lounge in the front, with an intimate bar downstairs. My only complaint about the downstairs, is how steep those stairs are as I nearly took a tumble (glad I don't work there!). I didn't bother ordering food, but I did get a smooth-tasting Bud Light (only available by the bottle). The waitress was really nice & on-the-ball. However, I will admit they don't take debit, only credit cards and I would assume cash. Thankfully, I had my VISA on me when I went to pay. I think I would go there again, knowing what I know, but as for you: be careful on the stairs, and bring your credit card!
Cheers :)
