There’s something to be said for inner beauty. Yes, even when it comes down to the interior of a small and unassuming drinkery in the middle of Chinatown, it truly is what’s on the inside that counts. Melody Lounge, located off of N Hill Street, right off the 110, and within walking distance of Dodger Stadium, invites you in with a modest, yet charming exterior. A quiet entryway welcomes you through the door into a low-key hideaway ridden with an array of superb cocktails and a collection of craft beers that will make your head spin.
Once you enter Melody Lounge, you will find yourself within a cozy nook illuminated by red lanterns, giving off an alluring crimson hue to the place. A vinyl record is usually spinning, playing just loud enough to not have to yell over while you’re chatting with your bartender. With typically, a moderately laid-back atmosphere, on rowdier nights like Sundays when they feature karaoke from 9:30 to close, the room fills up quickly and the good times roll.
Reaching its five-year anniversary in March, Melody Lounge started solely as a craft beer bar and received its full liquor license just over one year ago, allowing them to accumulate quite the range of spirits to coincide with its diverse gallery of craft brews.
“We still have a big focus on craft beer, which is where our roots are, but we just wanted to take the next step, upgrade, and tailor a cocktail menu,” says general manager Eric Bouvet. “We do all 32 classics at any given time, and we also have a small list of signature cocktails. We try to keep it simple, offer good cocktails.”
Melody Lounge and its multiple sister bars including The Short Stop in Echo Park and Footsies in Cypress Park, typically fall under the same theme of slight preservation. As they each display a low-key appearance from the exterior, upon entering, you will find that there is so much more than what initially meets the eye.
