Mel's is a very friendly, cozy spot to visit with friends, shoot pool, and listen to some tunes on a Friday night!  It's a great neighborhood hang-out, and it has a really fun, relaxed vibe. For more info, including their menu, see their site at: melsovpub.com.    Mel's is located on 196th St SW , between Aurora and the Edmonds hill. It's tucked back from 196th so watch for it closely!  As you drive along 196th St. SW, keep your eyes peeled for the intersection with 76th Ave W (which has a stop light). There's an Ezell's Chicken and a QFC near this intersection. If you turn south on 76th Ave. W, you'll see Mel's immediately to your left. Alternatively, you can also pull into the QFC lot and you'll find Mel's at the southwest corner of the parking lot. 
  Hope to see you there!
