Four young, well established African- American men have joined forces to partner in bringing the M BAR vision to life – Damien Gordon (Mixologist/ Owner), Yaw Botchey ( Marketing Director), Xavier Peoples (Client Relations), and Melvin Simms (General Manager). M BAR will offer guests the definitive Atlanta bar and lounge experience. The juxtaposition of black and white silent films infused into a modern aesthetic, a menu of american classics mixed with modern favorites, an offering of unique batch private labels to today’s most premium spirit brands – the space will conjure up a sense of pride to all who enter and a sense of community to all who partake. I had the opportunity to talk with Xavier Peoples about the group’s decision to open an upscale lounge on modest Auburn Avenue. He told us that it was extremely important that they build in our own communities. Auburn Avenue has a historic and cultural significance to the black community and it was vital for the group to revitalize there. During the media walk-thru, I was taken by the luxury of the location. This is definitely a place to bring pride back to Auburn Avenue. We congratulate you brothers for thinking of your community and re-investing in the area.
