Beautiful evening to celebrate Valentine’s Day at Waterworks Rooftop. Our waitress Willete took great care of us, and the executive chef Patrick even came out to visit us. They rolled out a new Valentine’s Day dinner. The warmed pimento cheese and bacon jam was so good! We ended the night with the cinnamon sugar churro with fried ice cream. The view was amazing at sunset of Montgomery and the city. Highly recommend this place on the rooftop to relax and spend some quality time. They even had NA options at the bar!

I have lived in Montgomery for over 25 years and I must say that this was the best bar experience that I have had in Montgomery. I work in downtown Montgomery and you definitely see Montgomery differently from this establishment’s patio.
I was with a group of about 30 folks, most of whom were from different States. All of our guest could not believe how pretty our city is! If you need to impress people, please take them here!
The staff was super friendly and provided a great atmosphere. I cannot say enough good things about this place. It was my first time going but I promise it will not be my last.

Several of the tap beers were out and some were flat. Ordered the tacos, they were out of pork, odd for Alabama. It took 45 minutes for them to come out and they were skimpy, but had good flavor. I heard several other people having the same issues. I picked this place for convenience, I should have checked the reviews first, unusual for me not to check.

We stopped by Waterworks on a Saturday afternoon for drinks and appetizers. The rooftop lounge is beautiful with great views of downtown Montgomery, but it was just too hot to enjoy earlier in the day. There were no fans or airflow, so we chose to sit inside.

We ordered cheese curds, truffle fries, lemon pepper wings, and a pizza. The cheese curds were excellent, and the wings were so good we ordered a second round. The truffle fries were solid but nothing special. Unfortunately, the pizza was a letdown—it’s cooked in a wood-fired oven, but it tasted more like a frozen pizza. There are better options for pizza downtown.

Drinks were tasty, but service at the bar was slow. It wasn’t busy, but it still took about 20 minutes to get simple cocktails.

We came back later that evening and were able to enjoy the rooftop once the temperature dropped. The view is fantastic and definitely worth a visit.

Overall, Waterworks has a great atmosphere and is a perfect spot for drinks and small bites—especially in the evening. We’ll be back for the wings and the rooftop vibe, but we hope to see improvements in service and pizza quality.

Everything was great! We went on Valentine’s Day this year and the service, urgency of the workers, and the entire atmosphere was great from the time we stepped off the elevator until the time we left. Dalvonte was our server and he did an excellent job! Although it was busy, we never received any type of attitude from him or he didn’t make it seem like he did not want to be there. He took our drink and food orders as soon as we sat down and whenever we needed something, it was given to us with urgency. The food, drinks, and overall service was great!

Tried to go here despite the bad reviews. Figured we would give it a shot. Arrived at the top of the elevator, sign said wait to be seated.
After a few minutes we looked around the corner to 3 people leaning against the bar. I asked if we seat ourselves they said yes go outside and find a seat.
There was a total of 6 people on the rooftop. We waited about 10 minutes, a waiter came outside dropped drinks at a table near us, never came over to bring a menu or acknowledge us.
Waited another 5 minutes.
Went inside to the 3 standing at the bar again.

Said good bye. Thank you for the service.
The response was
Have a great night!

Not sure why they are open and don’t serve their customers.

Great location, great view. Left and won’t be back.

Absolutely horrible experience! We exited the elevator and stood waiting while 3 servers were talking at the bar. We finally asked if we seat ourselves – she said yep and pointed to the rooftop. Beautiful view! We sat at a table and never received a menu, water, service, server…. After 10 minutes we left. There were only 6 other people there – they were not busy. Who knows what the food or drinks are like.

As a local person, I wondered why I had not eaten here before. Then I ate here.

Let’s start with the positive. Entering the Trilogy Hotel after valet parking ($15+app fee and tip), the location is very pretty and clean. Awesome decor in the lobby. All the staff were very friendly and obviously eschewed the Marriott customer service values. The restaurant staff was equally trained and doing as well as they could. The food was edible, we didn’t leave hungry.

However,…most of the items on the menu were out of stock. We had to settle for burgers/sliders and the teriyaki chicken. The burgers were decent but not going to win any awards. The teriyaki chicken was unique. It wasn’t inedible but the teriyaki flavor was difficult to describe, sort of teriyaki with sweet and burnt (despite not being burnt) undertones.

Overall, the location was nice and we enjoyed each other’s company. We decided that the food was probably best left for the guests in the hotel who were too tired to go out. Maybe we will try the other restaurant downstairs in the future but would not valet park here (a little pricey for dinner parking despite great service there). The food was overpriced for the quality as well.

Scenery! Scenery! Scenery! Wonderful views. Best when the sun is setting. Food is excellent.. it’s a bit overpriced, but worth the flavor. This is not the place for a full course meal. This place is great for a small gathering of friends/family for drinks, appetizers and small talk. Also a great place to having business meetings.

Service is extremely slow, and sometimes outright rude! A cousin of mine was visiting from out of town; and after getting a quick bite to eat elsewhere, we went up the elevator to the rooftop only to be turned around because we had to-go plates from another place. We even asked if we could just leave it at the front or behind the bar while we have a drink because I just wanted my cousin to see the view. But we were still turned around. I had not gone back for several months, but I like the place so much I finally went again for the first time last night. Service was even more slow and less engaging. I only wish they would move faster and be more attentive.

This review is for Water Works Rooftop bar At Trilogy in Montgomery.
Went to have a few drinks and some snacks before a 7:30pm concert. Sunday 10/8. Got to the roof at 5:15, (bar opens at 4:00). Very comfortable rooftop lounge area only 2 other guests were there at the time. Didn’t see a hostess on the way in. We chose a table and sat down, waiting to order drinks. We continued to sit for almost 10 minutes. I decided to go into the bar to see what was up. I passed the now present Hostess and commented, “No table service?” And was assured yes, as I continued into a guest free bar with a bartender and a kitchen with two staff and No customers. The young male bartender, walked past me three times before I asked how to get a drink in this bar? I said we had been at our table for a long time with no service. I ordered two draft beers and the Charcuterie plate. It was 5:30. Went back to the table. Two more guests appeared. We waited almost 20 more minutes until a friendly and apologetic young (possibly management) woman told us that they didn’t have the beers that I ordered and did we want something else. We ordered in stock draft beers and told her that I had also ordered the Charcuterie plate, and that we had now been there for 45 minutes with no food or drinks. Shortly (5 minutes) we were served two complimentary beers, that were good, no food yet. So… 15 minutes later, (6:00 pm), our plate was delivered with excuses and apologies. The prosciutto and salami were typical, the fruit and nut accompanying were satisfactory, the bread was stale ( yesterdays bread). As we nibbled the meats and fruit, we finished our beers and we had not had a service person come by in 20 minutes with empty beer glasses on the table. Two more tables of guests had arrived. I had to go back into the bar, new female bartender. Three guests at the bar, with drinks. I asked her why is it so hard to get drinks in her bar. I ordered more draft beer. She asked which beers, I said what do you have? She didn’t really know and didn’t offer me a menu. I just said “you choose “. 10 minutes later our beer was delivered. No charge. Everyone was pleasant and polite, but didn’t seem to realize that bars make money by actually selling food&beverage and that empty glasses on tables are a sales opportunity with accompanying tips. A Bizarre experience with a nice view and comfortable seating. Something is askew with the system of order and delivery, if there is one.
