"A new Montrose cocktail bar that quietly opened over the Christmas weekend in the space that once housed La Grange, open daily from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. The cocktail list includes mango habanero margaritas, an intriguing Champagne and Caviar drink made with creme de banana, prosecco, and balsamic pearls, and martinis such as an espresso martini and a gin-infused Detox mixed with coriander, elderflower, celery, pineapple, basil, and chili. Emmanuel Chavez — a James Beard Award semifinalist and the chef behind Michelin-starred Mexican tasting-menu restaurant Tatemo — crafts bites including kampachi tiradito, spicy tuna rice crisp bites, smoked beef sausage Pigs in a Blanket served with homemade mustard, buttermilk-brined chicken tenders with Melrose sauce, and a Melrose Burger made with 44 Farms beef." - Brittany Britto Garley
