“ Thank goodness this bar still holds it down for Chinatown. Drop in for Milkcrate Mondays for some good hip hop, soul, reggae, and funk and who knows what surprises guest djs may bring out. Bartender has some tasty cocktails on the menu if craft brews aren't for you. Love the decor from the lanterns to the vintage beer cans in showcase tables. ”

“ Sam made the best drink I've ever had in my life! 10/10 it was a paper plane. Everyone should come here ”

“ Wife and i first time here... really cute dark aesthetics... Music good choice Drinks are good. Customer service good. Will probably come back. ”

“ This is a dive bar with a lounge feel and it's a vibe! Great music with an extensive beer & cocktail menu, what more can you want? Great place to pop in for a quick drink or to start your night! Definitely recommend if you're in the area! ”

“ Been here several times and it's a typical dive bar in Chinatown. Dim lights with lantern decor hanging from the ceiling which gives it a vibe! No servers coming around so you'll have to grab your drinks at the bar. This time we came in on a Sunday night and to our surprise it was Karaoke night! KJ was Kisser and she's pretty cool! Got a hot toddy since the weather was a bit on the colder side that night and it was delicious with a splash of bourbon, star anise and a cinnamon stick! Very festive! ”

“ Say what you will about the area surrounding this bar (slightly sketch) but it's the closest late night bar to Dodger Stadium and if you're willing to take a walk down the hill (20-30 minute walk from the dodger "city gate" for an able bodied person) - is a great pit stop between the stadium and the A Metro light rail train in Chinatown. I always have a blast here and it's flooded with Dodger fans. The Service is always super quick and the ambiance is Dodger centric yet perfect for China town. Cocktail and beer bar, so no food. If I can, I stop here every time I come through. Tonight, the Dodgers clinched their Division and it was a party of Dodger fans celebrating their win over the Padres! Highly recommended! Check Melody out. ”

“ Melody Lounge is a chill, laid-back spot with a great atmosphere. The vibe is cozy, and it's the perfect place to grab a drink and relax with friends. They have a great selection of craft beers and cocktails, and the bartenders are super friendly and knowledgeable. The music is always on point, and the ambiance makes it easy to unwind. If you're looking for a cool neighborhood bar with a good drink selection and a relaxed vibe, Melody Lounge is the place to be. Highly recommend! ”

“ 4+ small cocktail, bar, and lounge located on the outskirts of Chinatown. It seems like this place could get a little crowded later in the night, but I've been here a couple times earlier in the evening or later in the afternoon to meet up with friends for a drink. During that time this place could be really chill and the service is really friendly. They have a nice cocktail menu as well as some nice craft beers available. There's a pretty solid selection of spirits as well with a couple of rare bottles from time to time. Overall, this place is a great place to meet up with friends for a drink. Especially if you're going to other places in the area. It is in Chinatown so depending on the time of day parking could be a little tricky. I found some metered street parking close by. ”

“ Chill, low-key beer bar in Chinatown. Kool little spot with friendly service and strong craft brew game, plenty of interesting stuff on tap. Melody Lounge has come up enough over several years that it has settled into a nice niche and vibe. Dee-jays come in to spin, there are karaoke nights, and the staff is nice. This is great for a happy hour stop, but it's also just right as a place to relax after dinner. Craft beers, records playing -- yeah ask your parents or elders what records are -- ultra Kool vibe with lanterns gently swaying from the ceiling, Melody would be perfect as a hangout with people you dig, or as part of a lounge/pub crawl around Chinatown. ”
