not quite the ending I was expecting (that's a good thing, BTW) despite the clues.

it really is very good. You may well be able to place it with the right publisher when it's finished. Even if you can't, I think it would do well via self-publication/KDP etc.

If ever I need to raise a smile, I know that reading about Ned's Bar will do it for me. Do please share this to your socials so that others can appreciate one of ABC's most individual and idiosyncratic humo(u)rists, Hudson Moon.
