Aviator BAR has a neat atmosphere, a decent draft selection, and some of the WORST service in the entire city. Â Last night was the second and last time any of the "BAR" establishments will get any of my business. Â 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. Â 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. Â The prices are decent for craft beer, but describing your brews as "high gravity" is hardly informative. Â Check out Leroy or Pine Bar for great beer and great service.
Review Source: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.
It's a bar, it's in downtown Montgomery, and it has an aviation/fighter pilot theme. Because there isn't anything to do in Montgomery, it's crowded. It's not as douchey as Alley Bar and there is no cover, so it's more crowded on weekends. Crowd runs mixed military and townies, but despite the theme isn't at all overrun with aviators. I don't know what the holdup with getting drinks is, but it can take ten minutes to get a beer. I would echo the other reviewer who was disappointed with receiving his cocktails in a red solo cup or some other mix-and-match glass. Good help must be hard to find in Montgomery because the bartenders are woefully outclassed. I saw one guy take several drink orders from people who were waiting for a long time, walk over to the other end of the bar, and then come back and say "sorry I forgot what you all wanted." You can forget about table service, but if you manage to get someone to come to take your initial order, you won't see anyone come by for the rest of the night.
There are lots (lots) of model airplanes and other flyboy memorabilia all over the place. Some of the decor is visually pretty cool...if you're a history buff and not too drunk, take a minute to check out the back rooms as well. It's a shame the service is so crappy. TVs behind the bar show WWII or other aviation themed movies. Because it's new and not Alley Bar, it's getting a lot of traffic. The service is pretty bad, but I guess it works for Montgomery. This place is apparently owned by the same guy who owns Alley Bar and Sand Bar, so if you don't like either of those, you unfortunately can't feel any more superior for patronizing this place either. Two stars mostly because it's new and relatively clean and shiny.
Loved the atmosphere and selection, the bartenders are very nice but there was only one "waitress" there and she seemed more interested in talking, eating the popcorn and just clearing tables than assisting anyone in getting a drink. Â
I give Kudos to the venue and the bartenders, but if your service is poor you have lost me as a customer.
Stopped by this place with some family and friends after a wedding... Very clean and new. I loved the interior decorations and that there was a lot of seating. The bathrooms were SUPER clean (ladies you know how nice that is)! The girl that helped us was very friendly and easy to find. Â The drinks were good and the prices were GREAT. We all joked that we needed to start driving from Atlanta to here just to drink and hang out on weekends!
Review Source:Be careful what you buy, they are not consistent with the glasses they serve cocktails in, one minute you get a red solo cup,they next you get a very small scotch glass. Â The bar staff needs better training. On the weekends it can get packed, o expect to push and shove your way through....if you want a table,get there early.
