The courtyard of this Melrose staple is one of the dreamiest in town. Almost speakeasy-esque — you enter through an alley, after all — there’s a fireplace, fresh greenery, a fountain, and a retractable roof when necessary. Cocktails run the gamut from traditional to spirit-forward to citrusy, all with clever names that are as much to read as they are to sip (i.e. Romance Without Pressure). The food, especially the burger and fries, is great for those boozier nights.
