Located in the heart of the historic Melrose shopping district the Melrose Umbrella Co. is bringing the social cocktail experience back to basics, where chivalry is alive and well: a place where you are welcomed as a neighbor in an atmosphere that feels like home.

The interiors of Melrose Umbrella Co. sparkle with a brown and golden radiance, reminiscent of an imposing and luxurious lounge from early 20th Century America or Europe. The building housing this cocktail bar was constructed in 1936 and designer Matt Winter has preserved some of its original elements.

Tasty drinks, excellent happy hour pricing and options. The goat cheese was a little excessive on the tuna appetizer (overwhelming the other flavors) but made it very filling. The Cuban "poutine" was delicious and the after-school special was a great comfort food option. The tomato soup wasn't too sweet and the basil pushed it into "excellent" for me.
Great music and great vibe! Bartender David made me an amazing drink that I loved!! Definitely will go back!!!
