Venue Sponsor: Melrose Cafe & Bar
Throughout the past 20 years Melrose has become so much more than a restaurant and bar; it's a social experience! It's a place to bring your friends and family for brunch or to sit out on our beautiful four tier patio. It's a place to enjoy a date night with our ever evolving menu or celebrate a birthday, stagette or girls night out! We've got Dj's spinning every Saturday, wing nights, UFC events, holiday events & of course all your sports needs.
As part of constant innovation and creating social experiences Melrose has opened its doors to the wonderful world of social media. By utilizing tools such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Foursquare we've been able to connect with our customers in a way that few businesses do. These tools have enabled us to create a sense of community, and have opened up the floor for customers to ask questions, promote, get free product, vent or even make suggestions.
