APB Is Bringing Plant-Based Sushi and Cocktails to Melrose Nightlife

APB, a new plant-based restaurant and bar on Melrose, is set to open with a focus on vegan hand rolls and cocktails. The space is designed to resemble a vintage greenhouse, with trellised booths creating a beautiful English garden ambiance. The bar menu will feature vegan cocktails and mocktails curated by Barman Julian Cox, using only vegan-certified alcohol for drinks like the “Beets By J” and the Crimson & Clover Club. Additionally, there will be an alcohol-free night every Sunday for those looking for a reset.

The food menu at APB will offer plant-based sushi inspired by traditional Japanese cooking techniques. Dishes include the Philadelphia Maki with smoked “no salmon” and Ube Cheesecake in a vegan cookie crust. The restaurant will also offer shareable options like the Sushi Boat, with two cut rolls, spicy garlic edamame, ceviche tacos, and hand rolls. With a wide range of vegan options and unique cocktails, APB is sure to become a popular spot for plant-based dining in the Melrose nightlife scene.
