34 Best Bars in Montgomery

“I love small businesses, and I love this place. The barista is the nicest woman on the planet. For that alone I love that place but also they have so much awesome indoor and outdoor space, a chess area, and you can also book an inclosed room for a meeting space. Oh and she offers not just coffee but alcohol! Boom, baby. My only issue is that I wish they had more food options. It’s not nothing so I’ll give them that.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 23 Court Cigar Bar delivers an exceptional experience every time!
Their cigar variety is outstanding — from well-known classics to rare premium selections that truly elevate the smoking experience. The bourbon, brandy, and whiskey lineup is equally impressive, offering smooth, top-shelf pours that pair perfectly with any cigar.

The atmosphere is upscale yet comfortable, with a positive vibe that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Whether you're relaxing solo or enjoying a night out with friends, 23 Court Cigar Bar sets the standard for quality and ambiance.

Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great cigars, fine spirits, and a first-class lounge experience!“

“I really enjoy coming here because the vibes feel really welcoming, the drinks are always good, and the bar’s aesthetic is really cool. The fact that they showcase art from artists that are for sell on their walls is so unique to me. David is a really good bartender, honestly , the best one in the state if you ask me. I can tell that he and the owner , Mendel are very knowledgeable on drinks. They are both always so welcoming and nice . I give them a 10/10, 5 stars, whole 9 yards haha“

“Why hasn’t anyone said anything about djcasequarter who plays there on Friday nights? Ths guy is an internationally known soul DJ. I mean really. He has a radio show in New York City that plays the wildest gospel music you’ve ever heard. And he lives in Montgomery. Almost virtually unknown here. He plays mostly vinyl 45s. I mean it’s sick. It’s like having Elvis or Led Zeppelin playing in a little bar in Montgomery. No lie. And every once in a while there are other top notch DJs from around the US that play here too. World renowned soul DJs drop in. I mean it’s incredible.“

“If you go earlier in the evening it's a very mature, chill bar. Drinks are good and service was great. A little on the pricey side for the well drinks. $38 for four drinks with Tito's. That said this bar is very my speed at 40 yo. Great that Vintage Year and Frenchies have food options but we had reservations at Vintage Year.“

“My girlfriend and I were in town for a few days, and we were looking for some karaoke. After some brief research online, we found what we were looking for. Bo and Barrett run karaoke on Tuesdays. The sound system was amazing. The song selection was extensive. But what really made this one of the best karaoke experiences was the atmosphere, the crowd of great people, but most importantly the fun and engaging way these guys run the show. If you're looking for darts, pool, karaoke (with good singers), and great drink prices/service, then look no further than Players. Our Tuesday night felt like a Friday night. Just wow.“

“Y’all better go to 8.11 grille. Drinks good, food good and DJ banging. I’ll be in there every week lawd y’all don’t know what y’all missing. My new favorite place! Yassssss!!!!!“

“I was there for a private event which means we had a Prix Fixe menu with a simple salad, dinner roll, entree, and mini desserts, so keep that in mind. The atmosphere was nice and the appetizers were good. The vegetarian entree options (roasted cauliflower steak) was sizeable and prepared well with a little hot sauce and barbecue sauce but it provided nothing in the way of protein which was disappointing. Our server was kind, just a bit frazzled.“

“I stopped in here on April 21st in 2021 after visiting Hank and Audrey Williams grave sites, and having been incredibly fortunate to have met a Honky-tonk Princess traveling home towards Mobile.As luck would have it and a dash of fate, we met here at Mac's for a couple of drinks... Due to a problem with my son, I'd been feeling blue and they don't make many heartfelt songs about lost drug addict children, but no one's ever expressed heartache more succinctly than Hank, and true love, is just that... but heartaches hurts worse when its your child...I apologized to the staff for blue tunes as my new found friend and I shared a few songs publicly on our phones, but as soon as they heard we had just been to the grave site and REALLY liked Hank, the folks working there couldn't have been more friendly and played music we all discussed over their loud system.The staff here had already shown promptness, professionalism,, and courtesy serving our drinks, but once the music began, you'd think we'd all been old friends... When they found out we'd just met and just happenstance into their bar for a drink, they laughed and seemed to express,very few people meet at Hank's grave site who didn't come their together...Rather you need a bottle to take with you, a drink before heading out, meet a new friend, or feel the need to drop a tear in your beer... This is a one stop shop I highly recommend, and it's only few miles from the grave site.Do not judge this book by the cover, the building looks a little rough and uninviting, but this is an older safe neighborhood establishment I think Hank Williams would have liked...We sure did... Thanks for the hospitality!“

“Love, love, love the SandBar! We were looking for somewhere to go by the water and have some cocktails... it's a shame they are closed on this beautiful, beautiful Saturday!! Its a perfect day to be outside with friends and cocktails!!!“

“Any bar I walk into that carries a decent selection of dark beers and the bartender is belting out Tool's Lateralus definitely gets five stars from me.

Parking: Normally you got to park across the street and a lot of the little strip mall“

“The service and atmosphere - top tier👌🏼🌹“

“This restaurant is a Montgomery tradition and renowned by locals for great food and service for a reasonable value. No reservations on weekends so plan accordingly. Everything on the menu is good but I like their onion rings, crab claws and West Indies salad for appetizers. I favor their Steaks and seafood for entrees. Their green salad is fresh The kids menu is one of the best in MGM for quality and value.“

“Hilltop has a cool and comforting vibe, it’s a true neighborhood gem!!!! The staff is awesome, the drinks are on point! It’s a favorite for sure!!“

“Great atmosphere! Love LOVE the music!“

“Super cute and fun restaurant! Definitely try it out. The staff was attentive and super sweet. Thanks for a great time celebrating with our family.“

“I’ve gone to La Jolla twice in the past month and had an awesome server, Asher. The food and service have been great both times. On my first visit, the dining room and bar were full, so the host took my number and called me when a table became available. I enjoyed the grilled lamb small plate on that visit. On my second visit, I arrived before 5 pm, so there wasn’t a crowd just yet. I was greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the Cajun salmon and Hoppin John entrée this time. It was delicious. I definitely recommend it!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Our first visit for the Derby Watch party and I must say WHAT A HIDDEN GEM you have!! Beautiful restaurant and friendly staff. The Hors d oeuvres were wonderful. The guest were all dressed for the derby and very friendly. We will be back for dinner soon!!“

“Always EXCELLENT! I like the Combination 2 platter.“

“Max was an awesome! Thanks for the excellent customer service. The food portion was ample and delicious.“

“Great experience atmosphere was everything food I give a 10/10“

“Ask about their daily specials and go for what the chef feels compelled to cook. I had marinated steak kabobs, so tender and tasty. The roasted vegetables, broccoli, zucchini, artichokes peppers and onion, fabulous! Twice baked potatoes perfectly made! Very pleased!“

“Great atmosphere! Love LOVE the music!“

“Great Staff and Enviroment!“

“Awesome service from Jamee, and excellent food! Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Great diner experience. Order queso with our chips and salsa. The salsa queso both delicious. Had the two beef enchiladas dinner with rice and refried beans. The sauce in the enchiladas was amazing. The staff was very polite and courteous. Would definitely return to try other items on the menus“

“Great food, atmosphere and customer service ❤️❤️“

“The brunch here is what you want. The menu is full of well priced a-la-cart options, along with standard brunch favorites. The meals are typically well portioned and very fresh. I will say the service still needs some work. The staff are kinda hands off. Once you have your food, they typically dont come back until youre ready to get the bill.“
