A really nice place that is arranged beautifully. The the place is huge but unfortunately, the few times I've been there it's been dead. It seems better suited to be a restaurant rather than a bar. Again, I think this place looks great and I hope it becomes a popular place but as of right now, I can't say it's somewhere I'd want to spend a lot of time. read more

I've been trying to contact the Aviator Bar on several occasions to book a party with never a return call. Sadly I will find another spot for our group read more

It was my first time at this place and was told I needed to check it out by some friends. There is a large display of model aircraft, military pictures, etc. Other than the cool museum like items, the drinks were overpriced and the bartender was less than friendly. Glad to say I saw it but would not recommend to anyone nor will I return. read more

Aviator BAR has a neat atmosphere, a decent draft selection, and some of the WORST service in the entire city. Last night was the second and last time any of the "BAR" establishments will get any of my business. Not only do the bartenders lack knowledge of what they serve, they are rude when you let them know they serve you the wrong drink. I had to argue with the bartender about serving me the wrong beer, and he acted as if he did me a favor by replacing the two beers I saw him mix together at the end of the keg. The prices are decent for craft beer, but describing your brews as "high gravity" is hardly informative. Check out Leroy or Pine Bar for great beer and great service. read more

I enjoyed stopping in the Aviator. The bartenders are always friendly and the security is always at the front entrance. The prices are not too expensive. not overcrowding during the week but can get a lil crowded on the weekend. The outside seating is ok when the weather is nice out. Can get a lil warm inside during the summer, they tend to just open up the doors leading from the outside seating area. They get a lot of out-of-town Business type customers who come into Montgomery for conferences or Military customers who get stationed at Maxwell Air force Base. Not really any fighting goes on here, everyone seems chill. read more

I was a fan of this place until last night. I was there with some friends from out of town and attempting to order us all drinks in a very busy bar. I patiently waited until one of the bartenders was available. Two girls walked up on my right and were served within minutes. I told the bartender who helped them that I was there before the girls and would appreciate service after them. This guy leans into me and asks me what I do for a living. Wasn't sure where this was going, but I told him anyways. His immediate answer was, "I don't tell you how to do your job, so don't tell me how to do mine." After picking my jaw up off the bar for being spoken to like that, I did have a few curse words for him, but he had already given me his back and walked away. I'm still floored that a paying customer was treated this way and I have crossed this sadly run bar (albeit really well decorated and spacious) off of my list of places to order a drink. I still give it one star because I did like this place once upon a time. read more

This addition to the already existing Alley Bar had good intentions, but the service is terrible, one minute you're enjoying your favorite cocktail including your favorite choice of liqueur, and suddenly...boom!!! Out of thin air, there are no more ingredients to make another drink which you were previously enjoying!!! High prices yield red solo cups (that is if you're lucky), and a young, undisciplined staff who's main concern is not customer service, but gathering at the end of the bar goofing off while patrons are lucky to get any service at all unless they yell from across the bar, or happen to tag a bus boy to get an order in. For the pinnacle service that one receives during every visit to the Alley Bar, The Aviator has a long ways to go if its owner expects a successful business. DO NOT sit at a table and expect service from the on duty servers, and DO expect leaving your cozy seat at the opposite end of the bar every time you need a refill of your favorite spirits. You should expect the best luck for service from the guys bringing out the glasses, as they seem to be the only ones running back and forth behind the bar. It has been my experience, and my recommendation to try to stop one of these guys in action, as they seem to be the only ones who make the journey from one end of the bar to the other as it seems their responsibilities include bringing out fresh glasses and the occasional check of liqueur levels. The definition of the "bar tender" has been redefined at The Aviator, seeing as one must go through the two step process of flagging down a bus boy to relay to the "bar tender" that a patron needs service, giving this new addition to the Alley Bar two big thumbs down! The decor is of exquisite taste, as there are endless festive decorations that follow the concept of the name of the bar, having models of old WWI and WWII hanging from the ceiling, rare old black and white photos of real pilots of that era, and even having a real canopy from one of these old aircraft, making at first site a fun and interesting establishment, but how can one enjoy all of these amenities without the outstanding service that we know and love about visiting The Alley Bar. I've given up on The Aviator, and I've just had to settle with Sous La Terre just a block from The Aviator. Make the visit to the Aviator if you dare, but be fair warned...you will be setting up your precious, well deserved day off from work up for disaster. read more
