I frequent this place weekly...Thursday nights from 5 to 10pm they have live performance by Eric Perkins and Aleta Davis. It is the highlight of my week. The live music is engaging, the food is really good (especially the wings and flatbread pizza). There is usually line dancing and crowd participation.. most nights there is a live performer in different genres like country and blues.. the servers can be slow at times and you may have difficulty getting in your order. Just go to the bar and order everything. You get it much more quickly. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Montgomery for the first time or for locals who want a relaxing, safe environment to enjoy drinks and have conversation.

Stayed at the Renaissance on 07/03/2026 and visited the bar at 8:53 pm…bartender was rude and provided NO customer service at all. Very disappointing and his tip reflected his POOR service.
The Exchange is an excellent place to unwind either after work or after a long day spent attending conference sessions. With live music most every night, great drinks and quality food — you'll enjoy your evening at The Exchange in Downtown Montgomery.
One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Upon arrival, I was very impressed because the restaurant was clean and it has a nice ambiance. The service was very slow. Our server Adisha had little interaction with us, she didn't ask us if we liked the food, and it took her forever to get our payment once she delivered the check. I think she has the potential to be good but customer service training is needed. My burger was cold and it wasn't fully cooked😡😣 She didn't make a fuss about it, she took it off without a problem. Instead of paying $18 here for a cheeseburger and fries we should've just gone to Five Guys. Going out to eat is just not the same anymore.
The bar offers a nice atmosphere and the service is amazing. Had to take a star (and a half) because the drinks are good, but pricing is a bit high. It is a hotel bar in the downtown area, so I suppose it is to be expected.
