Aviator BAR

My favorite Montgomery bar.

Favorite. As in, I found solace at the bottom of several glasses here.

I was a regular for about a week before I had to leave town.

Favorite.

Sit at the bar. Watch Top Gun without the sound. Tip your bartenders.

You're welcome.

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.

Walked in on an uncrowded evening. The bar was 3/4 full, a couple of tables outside had customers, but none of the tables inside had customers. At most, there were 15 people there.

We took a table close to the bar. The waitress walked past several times without acknowledging us. The bartenders (2 of them) made eye contact, but just stood around anyway.

After 15 minutes...we left. Not a single employee said a word to us the entire time we were there.

Cool concept, loved the decor, which is why I gave two stars instead of one.

Oh, except the awkwardly posed mannequin above the bar...is it supposed to be a pinup pose? In a WWII-themed bar, I'd expect to see Bettie Paige-esque stuff, not whatever is happening above the bar.

I'll go back after someone tells me the service got better.
