I've known Stacy for years. He's one of my clients at ProActive Therapeutic Massage. As a fellow business owner I know what it takes to stay afloat, and Stacy knows what he's doing. He's is a rags-to-riches story in the making!
Having said all that, Stacy's @ Melrose is a tribute to just how much Stacy cares. This place is awesome! Kind of dark, kind of sexy without being tacky or garish or lude like so many of the other creepy bars in this town. This place is a cut above the rest and competes with another big name, Charlies (or as the gays here call it, "Charlenes" lol). And it just keeps on getting better and better.
First there was only the front porch to have a cocktail and a smoke. Then the back patio opened up, then there was a bar on that patio... and now there's food from a portable food van out back? How freaking cool is that?! The sunken dance floor speaks for itself, and the bartenders are very sweet, very amiable. For me the best time to be there is on a Sunday night, not just because of the $1 well drinks, but because of the retro 80's mixer music. Love that stuff. Love Stacy. Love the crowd. Love the staff. Good people all around.
Here's to you Stac' - cheers!
