I found myself swatting away bugs throughout my visit, which detracted from the otherwise beautiful setting. The prices to be a bit on the higher side. While the drinks were decent, they didn't quite justify the cost, especially considering the mosquito issue. The Riverfront Bar has a lot of potential with its views, but if you're planning to enjoy a relaxing evening, be sure to bring some bug spray and money.

There is something mystical about aviation that attracts our minds to be fascinated by it. And,…read moremilitary aviation is the niche that boosts that curiosity to the next level given the engineering wonders, cutting edge technology and superhuman abilities of fighter jet pilots. So, when there is a bar that combines artifacts from the Air Force alongside the stories of the pilots and has a jet seat right in front of the beer taps, there is absolutely no way to pass such a cool spot. There are plentiful local Alabama brews on tap, offering some great beers for all tastes and thankfully not just focusing on IPAs. Bartenders are attentive and welcoming. The crowd is diverse and fun. All summed up, The Aviator Bar is a very cool spot to grab a drink and enjoy the museum like vibe.

A hidden gem that hits every note just right…read more Walking into this place feels like stepping into the coolest Southern dream you never knew you had. The atmosphere blends old barn wood and Edison bulbs with modern art and chill beats--rustic meets trendy in the best way possible. It's got that Southern charm, but with a hipster twist that makes you want to stay way longer than planned. The service? Impeccable. Everyone behind the bar and on the floor was not only lightning-fast but genuinely friendly--like you've known them for years. No pretentious vibes, just good people who love what they do and do it well. Now let's talk beer. The selection is next level. From obscure small-batch craft brews to the classics done right, there's something for every kind of beer lover. IPAs, stouts, lagers--you name it, they've got it, and probably in a version you haven't tried before. The staff actually knows their stuff too, which makes exploring the menu even more fun. But what really seals the deal is the culture. This place oozes identity. Whether it's the local art on the walls, the vinyl playing in the background, or the diverse, effortlessly cool crowd, the vibe is 1000% dialed in. It's the kind of spot where creativity and community come together--and you can feel it. 10/10 would recommend. This isn't just a bar--it's a whole mood.

Next time will just sit at the bar from the beginning & I'm sure will be a 5-star experience

I stayed with a roommate at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa from Jan 7, 2026 to Jan 8, 2026…read moreas part of a Road Scholar tour program. It was the most luxurious of the three hotels in the program. Photos shown include our room 317. The room included two queen beds, a reasonably large desk, a door to an adjoining room, two religious literature (a Gideons' Holy Bible, and The Book of Mormon) in the nightstand, ample closet space, and "high-tech" light switches that required some head-scratching to use them. The bathroom had both a bathtub and a shower stall. I used the latter. The bed pillows were fluffier than those of Hyatt Place Atlanta/Buckhead, so I needed just one to sleep on. I had to contact front desk and maintenance staff for a "Do Not Disturb" sign as the room did not have one. Sadly, it did not prevent room service from entering the room the next day to make the beds and re-fluff the pillows. My sleep was not impacted but my impression of the overall service was. On the first night, our group went to a private room for dinner. We walked from one end (where our rooms were) to the other end of the hotel. Food was catered in-house as evidence by the serving staff in their hotel uniforms. On both mornings, we had breakfast at The House. It was buffet style with plenty of choices and plentiful in volume. Since we had coupons, we didn't have to pay a cent. However, I didn't give my coupon to the waiters both times and still ate for free. But I sat with my fellow group members so it wasn't an issue. For second day's dinner, I ordered mozzarella sticks to go from The House. It was pricier than I would like, but it kept me fed. There was only one laundry room and it was located on the second floor. It was free of charge but access to the room required the room key. I did my laundry on the morning of the second day. Did not have any issues with the washer or the dryer. It was nice of the hotel to provide a small lounging area just outside the laundry room where I waited until my laundry's done. The laundry room had two microwaves. Don't ask me why they were there. I'd have put them where the vending machines and the ice machines are. I did not try the spa. There wasn't sufficient time and the high price tag was enough reason not to. Nor did I patronize the performing arts venue adjoining the hotel. But there were plenty of lounging areas throughout the first and second floors. The one that I used for a private Zoom meeting was on the second floor, and had plenty of distance away from foot traffic for a reasonable expectation of privacy. If it was entirely up to me, I would not choose the Renaissance. It's out of my price range and I can easily find less expensive choices nearby. However, the stay was mostly pleasant especially when covered by the tour program. If you're willing to pay the price, it's worth it.
