This place is allot of fun, all kinds of food people, no problems! Has smoking areas outside (playgrounds), group conversations. The only thing I could suggest would be the music, more variety. We did get some disco, that was fun, electric, lol. Drinks were great, service was too. I will go back, met some good folks!

The good: it genuinely seems like a fun place to go with a group of friends.The bad: if you show up alone, it’s not exactly welcoming. It’s tiny, so you’re basically against the wall.It’s a place with tons of potential. It would benefit with more physical space, maybe bench seating, new floors, and in general a redesign.It’s not a bad place, but it be better.

Gt south is both amazing and welcoming.there are close to no bars that actually let you play games and drink. One of my favorites is the fallout. It got me blasted last night haha.

This place is situated perfectly for the NERDY USAF Airmen working at Gunter-Annex of Maxwell AFB; literally a left out the gate and one turn. They offer a good selection of food and drinks, hospitable staff, and PS4 consoles to satiate your gaming urges. Sadly the building has been there a LONG time, and it was another bar previously so the abuse that the building has been subjected to is incalculable. But this place to me is the perfect microcosm of life in Montgomery: it may not be the prettiest thing youve ever seen but youll probably meet some good people and have some good times here. 4/5 for the attentive staff, the niche market that they have developed, and for the fact that they are doing something that we needed here that nobody else has done until now. -1 point for the building conditions (not an insult to the owners, staff, or previous property inhabitants) just an observation based on other successful Montgomery bars.

A place in Montgomery Alabama where you can go and know that you will always have a good time, be treated with kindness and professionalism, eat and drink for reasonable prices, and always be safe because the staff and owner always go out of their way to make sure all of the above happens every night. Not to mention all of the different theme nights, board games/ geek card games, and to top it all off video games I mean what other place in Montgomery can you get all of this? Answer nowhere!P.S.If you go to the bathroom I wont spoil the surprise but you have the opportunity to take a selfie of a life time before or after you are done and yes it is known for this and people do come by just to get a picture. Lol!

I genuinely like this place. Me and my brother were in Montgomery for a work trip for a couple weeks. We were bored of our hotel room and wanted something fun to do, so we checked events on face book and seen they had a dungeons and dragons night, with different video games to play, so we gave it a try. We had a good time everyone was super nice and welcoming. We did not realize it also had a bar, I myself am only 20 years old and do not drink or have a desire to drink(you only have to be 19 to enter), so I just played some games, chatted with people, and had a really good time planning on returning for the Thursday open mic night. We came back the next night for the open mic night and enjoyed some stand up comedy. The only thing that bothered me was there is multiple signs throughout the place stating they don’t accept any hate of any kind, which I completely agree with and feel everyone deserves nothing but love and kindness and respect no matter what. Yet during the stand up comedy show one of the entertainers made a hateful joke stating he had so much power and felt like God, except he was real, which maybe to an atheist was a funny joke, but to me who has a very strong Christian faith I didn’t appreciate it, but overlooked it. Then after the show was over, I was chatting with a different comic and he made another joke about everyone in Montgomery being Jesus lovers and there’s nothing to fun to do. So I guess I don’t understand the premise of the signs saying they don’t accept any hate of any kind, yet they can throw disses at religious people during the main show. Like I said I really like the place. Everyone was friendly and I had a good time, I just didn’t appreciate the Christian hating and don’t think I’ll be returning.

I always feel so comfortable here, the service is great! If theyre busy, please be patient because the prices and the drink are just as good as the friendly environment :)

Cool overall place. A bit less than sparkling clean (especially in the cuddle den area in back I stumbled on) but its a chill.spot to just game.

Review №12

Only visited once but we really enjoyed ourselves. We went just after the re-opening in their new building. We met the owner who was really sloshed and we found him to be charming and fun and super nice. We appreciated the entire concept. It is not your normal bar crowd, rather its like the lounge bar during comic-con. Its pretty great. Look forward to going back.Deducted one star because the kitchen was not open yet and it is entirely too brightly lit for a bar. The lighting ruins the atmosphere dramatically as it makes it feel like my grandmas old bingo parlor. Will probably add the 5th star back if the kitchen is worthy.

Yea this place is amazing, do yourself a favor and go there. order a mandalorian raider if you want to get yelled at by staff and then die. if alcohol poisoning isnt your style, they have a full menu of other delicious themed cocktails for your perusal.

Review №16

Top 40 music, hostess with a bad attitude, limited game selection.... large selection of drinks though. Pretty lame overall, but if you need a reminder on why you hate going out, it will help you regain perspective. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and drink while watching game grumps.

GTSouth is a 10/10, but Google only allows me to rate it out if 5 stars. This is a great injustice, GT deserves all the stars it can get. Its the best bar Ive ever been too, its got video games and a Dungeons & Dragons night. What other bar has that? None? Maybe. It doesnt even matter, what does matter is that this place is without a doubt, fairly, certainly, unequivocally, systematically, scientifically proven to be a cool place for cool dudes (and dudetts, I dont judge) Ive ever been too. You dont even need to be cool, the second you walk into the place you become cool, its instantaneous, the very second you go from zero to hero. Also the food is really good.

Amazing atmosphere. I absolutely love coming here with my husband . Everyone is always friendly and welcoming. The theme nights are the best . I love to sing karaoke and even though I am not the best everyone welcomes me with open arms . I have played video games and read comics since before I could remember this place is the ONLY place in town that offers the atmosphere that I love . It is genuinely the place for your geeky or gamer fix. No other place can compare . They offer everything you could want . It can be chill or wild depending on whatever night . They have a back area for plenty of space and inside for a cozy experience. I applaud the owners for giving a space for all of my needs. I have never felt so comfortable outside of my home . It is the place to be . I hope this review helps others to discover a new wonderful space to fit in.

Fantastic bar, incredible people, fandom inspired food and drinks, tons of card games, board games, video games, and lots of consoles to chose from. Theres DND night and other themed nights, karaoke nights, comedy night, etc. Favourite hangout spot in the Millbrook, Prattville, and Montgomery area.

I love this place. It has good food and drinks, and is a very fun place to spend time. I would recommend GT to anyone who likes to geek out, play video games/card games/gaming tournaments, or watch movies/TV shows. Its also a good place for karaoke and to listen to live DJs and comedy shows. There is something here for just about every kind of geek. :)

Review №45

When I first started Patron this bar I was made to feel very welcome. But then after I had been visiting a while I noticed many of the other patrons had become very clicky in a way that reminded me of the jocks the cheerleaders and the Goths in the School lunchroom. Then I noticed a lot of drama that made absolutely no effort to keep itself behind closed doors within the management and business sections of the bar. Someone made the comment that the owner is far too busy being a patron or his bar to be a owner/boss/manager. I saw him ignore his own bartender berating someone on their political views of abortion and not do anything about trying to improve the environment. After that I felt too uncomfortable to be there.

True to its name, this is a tavern for geeky goodness. Always fun to play a host of board and video games while enjoying a well-mixed drink, or vise versa. Special events have also been fun, even with event-based cocktails. The staff is friendly and always helpful and the food usually hits the spot after long ours of gaming.

GT South is a fun place to go hang out with friends, theres a reasonable selection of board games, as well as video games. Without people to go with it can be difficult. People are not very welcoming and the cramped space makes for awkward moments

A friend and I just sort of randomly happened upon this place. We were pleasantly surprised. Cool place to chill, play some games, and have a few drinks. The staff is friendly, and they supply a nice amount of consoles and games to play. I guess my only small gripe is that the food is a bit overpriced, but thats just my opinion.*Recommended

GT south is a wonderful bar. The drink selection and menu is immaculate and creative for any fans of geek, gamer, or nerdy esq humor. The drinks are well crafted with thought.The service from Ms. Amber or Mike Taylor is nothing short of awesome, courteous, and fast. For any gamer fans I would highly recommend checking this place out not only for the drinks, the food, and gaming consoles, but for the pure experience you will have!

I was introduced to this place on Christmas Night 2014 when I could watch the Doctor Who Christmas special. The place is awesome for the geek community, and I love the themed nights like Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Sailor Moon, etc. Its always loads of fun, and the food is fresh, hot, and delicious. I would highly recommend this place to geeks who just dont want to go to a stuffy restaurant and would rather hang out with other geeks.

The absolute coolest spot Ive ever visited! Watched Deadpool 2 on their big screen in the company of many other like minded individuals whilst enjoying a numerous Rainbow Brites. (A most fabulous and tasty beverage that they offer.) I just hope that the new location has an outside area where 4 square, skateboarding and general fun can be had, as the current location does. Mad props, you guys! Youre killin it!

It may be small, but its the BEST place for the geek community. From Doctor Who to Game of Thrones to The Walking Dead, there are lots of opportunities for people to get together. The food is also awesome, freshly cooked outside on the grill. For the geeks in Montgomery, this is THE place to go!

The owner, Mike Taylor, has created a magical Montgomery attraction with his introduction of a Geek Gaming Tavern. New episodes of Doctor Who and Game of Thrones are a proper event here, which won me over immediately!

This can be an interesting place... Some nights, they have trivia or movies or tournaments. Some nights, they have comedy voiceovers and karaoke. They always have interesting games to play you wont find anywhere else. An okay place for meeting a group of 4 to 6 people. A great place to go if youre bored and dont want to play video games alone.Sometimes the clientele are odd and awkward. Not a place Id bring somebody that didnt like to talk to strangers.

This place is amazing.. Probably one of the best places in Montgomery if you ask me..Where do I even begin with how awesome this place is.. ;-;First of all the concept of a gaming bar is 100% cool. Yes.. a million times yes.Second, the drinks are sooooooo good.. I havent had a drink I didnt love, and the prices are good for what you get. [I almost always order Blood of the Ancients and a Pangalactic Gargleblaster.]The food is really good, but can be a little more expensive than I am comfortable with, but they have all kinds of tasty, creative dishes.There is an incredible amount of awesome activities/things of interest there.. so many games you can play with whoever..They have themed nights, tabletop games, card games, dice games, tournaments, karaoke, cuddle puddles, video games, drinking games, cosplay events, movie nights, random things like.. dodgeball?!The decorations are great. >.

Ok Im a total geek, I love video games. My hubby took me here one night it was ok, beer and snacks reasonable price. However we asked to play a game, we were told after the last couple finished we would get a turn, the guy completely looked us plugged up our game for customers he was friendly with. I felt customer service could have been better.
