About The Library
Chandeliers, carved wood columns, bookshelves and deep leather club chairs set a clubby, old-Dallas tone in the Warwick Melrose's lounge, which regulars call a classic spot for jazz and conversation. A pianist and singers hold the room in the evenings, and one recent guest described the crowd as electric. The bar pours classic cocktails, espresso martinis and a solid wine list, while the kitchen sends out crab cakes, sliders, burgers, Caesar salads and cheese boards. Hours are 2pm to 11pm Sunday to Thursday, stretching to 1am on Friday and Saturday, and valet parking is available at the hotel. Google rates it 4.6 on about 530 reviews. Praise centres on the music and service; the food draws more mixed notes, and a couple of recent reviews mention the espresso martini slipping and an off smell near the bar.
