Description

Aviator Bar presents a captivating aviation theme with an impressive decor that attracts both locals and visitors. Despite its intriguing ambiance and unique features, such as an ejection seat, the service leaves something to be desired. Patrons frequently mention issues with waitstaff and inconsistent service, particularly on busy nights. The drinks are affordable but often served in plastic cups, impacting the upscale feel expected from its polished presentation. While a cover charge raises eyebrows given the atmosphere, Aviator Bar remains a noteworthy spot for those seeking a relaxed hangout amidst Montgomery’s nightlife.

They charge a cover fee just to enter the restaurant... and there is no live music. Save your time and money and skip this place.

We decided to visit Aviator after dinner on a Friday night. I was surprised that there was a cover charge, considering the place was quiet with no live music. I would expect a cover charge at a dance club on a Friday night, but not at a more laid-back place like Aviator. It was also disappointing that Alley Bar, which is connected to Aviator, was closed for a private event that night. The bar had a great concept and the decorations were impressive. My husband and I enjoyed exploring and admiring all the memorabilia. Despite some negative reviews, we were served promptly by the bartender, although the bar was not very crowded. We ordered some beer, which was decent. However, I didn't like drinking out of a plastic cup. I would consider returning to Aviator, but probably not on a weekend night. It's a nice spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink.

The bar is fantastic! It's always a great spot to socialize. There aren't many options open in Montgomery, Alabama, but this place is a safe and welcoming choice to grab a drink after dinner.

Been here a couple times before and absolutely love this place! Whoever created this put a lot of time, effort and care into creating a fascinating place that also pays great tribute to our men and women in uniform. They have a nice beer selection and full bar and it's just a great place to hang out and take in some history.

Would love to give this place 5 stars for its awesome decorations and ambience but the service was extremely poor. There were two military graduations going on in the local area so this place was always going to get a crowd but it was being ran by two grouchy bartenders. Stopped taking cards, put nice bourbon in plastic cups, and shut down the bar to restock. Needless to say it killed momentum and the celebrations. Can tell this place has a rich heritage amongst service members, shame service had to cloud that
