Not really cozy like a lot of reviews suggested, i guess with the change of ownership. Feels like the bar extension of the restaurant that is focused on just getting drinks out

The place is nice. Food variety is good and tasty. Drinks are good too. I just didn't like that it's pricy. 4 drinks and a platter for $97 is too much.

If you're looking for the perfect bar to fall in love with that book you've been forgetting to read... you know the one that's collecting dust at the end of the bed... look no further.The window seats give you the perfect view for people watching; you'll feel like the main character in a Taylor Swift song.With a wine selection that's approachable and affordable, and a location that's unbeatable, I'm not sure what else you could want?

It's been a while since I've been before, but we quickly learned it's much different than before with the new ownership. A "wine bar" that didn't have any pinot noir, limited selection, and okay service. Overall, it was underwhelming, and as someone else mentioned, it seems like a waiting room for the restaurant next door. Won't be going out of our way to go back anytime soon.

Not fair that nearly all the associated positive reviews are from the old M Bar. This is completely different establishment and if you go there expecting the old place, you'll be seriously disappointed. What was once an incredibly romantic, convivial space lit by just candlelight, amazing wines by the glass and an unparalleled atmosphere has turned into the opposite, effectively a waiting room for the restaurant next door. Unfair they are able to continue to call it by the same name and positive associations with that brand but don't deliver on a product that is even remotely similar.

I was a regular patron for 12 years. The new owners have destroyed the vibe and alienated their best customers. Utterly depressing.

I stopped into this place while I was waiting for traffic to lighten up on my way north through the city. I was just thinking about how the letter M and there was this bar. It’s a tiny spot right on 21st. Cozy and packed with charm. Todd was just opening up and we had a lovely chat about wines, podcasting, and the neighborhood. Soon the local regulars starting trickling in and it was delightful to immediately feel part of the M bar scene. Thank you for your hospitality and I really enjoyed the eclectic vibe and wines.

Absolutely wonderful bar. Bartenders know their stuff and can offer you a wine that fits your fancy depending on any mood you're in. Also have beer and a deep sake list if there are other things that tickle your fancy.

It’s my favorite wine bar. If I ever have my own wine bar, I’d love to make it just like it. It’s small, dark, lit by candle light only. They have a select but amazing collection of reds, whites, and bubbles, and beer, all amazing. It’s been a while since I’ve been, but can’t wait to go back!
