The editorial take
Melrose Umbrella Co. Keeps its beverage program centered on cocktails, with a dedicated Cocktails & Spirits page and a COCKTAILS, SPIRITS & HAPPY HOUR menu section. The bar describes itself as bringing the social cocktail experience back to basics. Guests consistently call the cocktails well-crafted, creative, and a highlight, with one noting they make a perfect midday option.
