AlleyBAR
AlleyBAR is a hidden gem tucked within Montgomery’s alley scene, blending a laid-back vibe with a spacious layout. The front bar area offers a casual setting with seating, while the back half features a stage for live performances and recreational games like cornhole. Its modern atmosphere and flexible space make it a versatile spot for gatherings, from small meetups to larger events.
The experience varies depending on the crowd, with service quality and drink prices reflecting its mid-range positioning. While some evenings deliver lively energy and attentive staff, others may feel slower or underutilized. The shared access with neighboring venues occasionally leads to inconsistencies, but its adaptability and occasional standout moments keep it relevant for those seeking a relaxed, social drink.

What was once one of the hottest bars in town is now sort of an average night out. A lot of the things that made it unique are now an after thought. It is attached to Aviator and Commerce Beer works and this means that because CBW sometimes has live music you pay a cover to get in no matter which bar you're drinking at. Often one of the three bars is packed and the other two are not. It also tends to leave it's area of the alley littered with cigarettes. If you have never been by all means check it out.
Not my favorite of Mike's bars but pretty good. In my top 10 for sure.
The music is terrible, and the drinks are okay. Every so often it has it's nights but usually it's pretty boring. If you're looking for fun, this is not the bar for you. But if you just want to sit down and buy slightly overpriced drinks, then this is the bar for you. I hate to say it but racism still exists. One night I had to wait like 30 minutes before I got served. One of the bartenders looked me dead in the face while I had money in my hand trying to get his attention. He served everybody other race except me. I had to wait for another guy to finally come and decide to serve me. Some of the bartenders are nice though, and some are just rude.
Great bartenders, awesome music and an overall wonderful experience.
Nice place with friendly and quick service. It was pretty empty for a Friday night, tho. It's a pretty big space with the front and back halves divided. The front is just a bar with some tables. The back half has a stage for a live band and a couple of Cornhole boards.
Awesome atmosphere and surprisingly modern. Amazing Bar and staff, they agreed to let my university’s association of former students put on a Yell Practice before we BTHO Auburn the next day. Good drinks and even better conversation.
Hot, humid, and long times to get drinks. Also, the ice bar has not been in operation the past couple years I've been there. Owner, please make sure the ice bar is operational during major events when Joan brings her 100 person crew to the Alley every August.
