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. Beer, wine, and nonalcoholic options appear under a separate Beer, Wine & N/A section, rounding out the menu without competing with the cocktail focus.
