Bar Manager and Head Bartender

M&M’s Tap and Tavern began as the brainchild of two founders who have a passion for fun, food, and drink in a unique environment where the experience is as inspiring as the menu. Fifteen years later, their dream of providing their community unmatched dinner specials made from the highest quality ingredients, wood-fired pizza, craft cocktails, expansive beer lists, and, as The Times Union proclaimed, the BEST chicken wings in Albany County, is not only alive—but growing and thriving.
