I expected indifference. But the cold and distant reception I received was worse than I anticipated, especially after going out of my way to support a local fledgling business that's presumably gay-owned and operated. The space itself is a nice throwback to long-gone neighborhood venues, even considering the hazardously wobbly stool at the table I sat at. Even though I arrived shortly after opening, the owner remained seated at the end of the unoccupied bar and offered no greeting to a new face and potential return customer, nor did he offer any apologies for the bar's understocked inventory. I had to Google a recipe for the cocktail I tried to order, only to have the bartender give me a rundown of ingredients the bar lacked. After placing three different orders until I hit on something the bartender could manage and leaving a generous tip, I had to make a second request for iced water to go with my almost non-existent cocktail. Even at that, I had to get water from the tap because the previous night's crowd allegedly cleaned the bar out of bottled water and no one could be bothered to restock. I won't return and I won't recommend.
UPDATE: Since I posted this review, the bar's social-media manager has engaged in a pattern of harassment, a threat and a libelous statement on Facebook. The most current, as of 23 Augsut 2018, follows:
M&M Saloon: "Michael Alan all of that and I don't even care I been sold that bar. Not go hid under a rock you lonely queen. Still angry you can't get no black dick haha you're so sad you have no life. And you better hope I don't see you on one of walks around the neighborhood either don't let social media get you caught up! You never know who you could be talking to.

M&M Saloon: Michael Alan this article is from feb 2017 way before the bar was even gay so sit your sad I google all day to find irrelevant dirt bag ass up. Go google how to get those T cells up"
