The old Mel's in a new location. Â So much more space than the original. Â There's a huge bar in the main room. Â There's a pool room with a much larger pool table than they had at the last place. Â And there's a sports viewing room, with 5 or 6 large TVs and maybe 20 or so captain's chairs. Â It's a great spot for watching football on Sunday. Â There's bar food available, too.
It's not as dive-y as the original Mel's. Â But it's got the same Dive-y spirit--which is what makes Mel's great. Â The same great sassy bartender, Fran is there. Â And a lot of the old customers are back.
