Memorable Events Hosted Here Riverfront Facilities include Riverwalk Stadium, Riverwalk Amphitheater/ Splash Pad, Union Station/Train Shed, Montgomery Skate Park, The Harriott II Riverboat and The Alley.
Harriott II
If you are looking to do something out of the ordinary, make plans to take a cruise on Montgomery's greatest downtown attraction, the Harriott II. This elegant 19th century style riverboat is center stage of Montgomery's entertainment district. The Harriott II offers dinner, dancing and live entertainment. Beginning this summer, take your lunch break on one of the available lunch cruises. To set the bar for your private event, reserve the entire boat for your group event. Perfect for rehearsal dinners, receptions, sweet sixteen celebrations, fund raisers or any other private party.
Splash Pad
Parents can chill out while the kids cool off – running, jumping and, of course, splashing among rising and falling jets of water.
Riverwalk Amphitheatre Home of the Riverwalk Wine Festival, Dragon Boat Race, concerts, charitable events, movies and more, the Riverwalk Amphitheatre is one of Montgomery’s best kept secrets. The incredible surround sound system provides crystal clear quality for each event. The sprawling grassy area on the banks of the Alabama River is perfect for a romantic picnic with your significant other. Bring the entire family and enjoy the splash pad which offers a refreshing fountain of water for children to play in, keeping them entertained.
Skate Park
Features a 5-foot mini ramp and a fully stocked skate shop and invites skaters of all ages to come out, hop on their board and sharpen their skills while having some fun.

Union StationTrain Shed Located directly behind historic Union Station, this covered, outdoor venue is perfect for weddings, concerts or corporate events. While many know the Train Shed for hosting exciting group events such as the Jubilee Brew Fest, Tide and Tiger Night, and concerts, it can also be transformed into a beautiful dwelling for the perfect, elegant wedding. Reasonably priced and located within blocks of three first class hotels, you can rest assured that if you hold your event in the Union Station Train Shed, it won’t ever rain on your parade.

What to Love in MGM The reasons to love Montgomery are many and varied, but since we can’t list them all, here are some of the very best.
n Heritage Hotspots: Walk in the footsteps of world-changing events. Montgomery was the cradle of the Confederacy and, a century later, the impetus of the Civil Rights Movement. n Flavors: Eat your fill of Southern-fried favorites and upscale culinary creations at Montgomery’s diverse restaurants. n Treasure Hunts: Shop for treasures of yesterday and today at stylish independent boutiques, eclectic gift shops, art galleries, antique stores and large national retailers.
n Fabulous Firsts: Montgomery was the site of the Wright Brothers’ first civilian flying school and boasted the first electric streetcar system in the country.
n Plain Nuts: Enjoy Montgomery’s own Tucker Pecans. They taste great right out of the shell but even better when smothered in chocolate.
n Cool Cocktails: Don a faux fur coat and throw back an ice-cold shot in the frozen shot room at The AlleyBAR downtown.
n Shakespeare, Y’all: Take in a play at one of the country’s most celebrated theatres, The Alabama Shakespeare Festival. And every season offers more than Will’s works. Popular contemporary plays, including musicals, take the stage too.
n Hot Dog!: Take a bite of history at Chris’ Hot Dogs, a local favorite that’s been serving tasty dogs smothered in a signature sauce since 1917.
n Warm Welcomes: The friendly smiles of Montgomery’s genuine people underscore the fact that manners matter here. Get ready to hear plenty of “thank you,” “ma’am” and “please.”
n Crooner’s Caddy: See the car in which iconic country music superstar Hank Williams took his final ride at The Hank Williams Museum. It also houses the largest collection of Hank memorabilia found anywhere.
n Nightlife: Pick up the pace with the excitement of The Alley, the city’s entertainment district, right across from the Montgomery Convention Center.
n Cheesy Chow: Do your taste buds a favor and fill up on a good-n-greasy cheeseburger from Hamburger King downtown.
n Miles of Smiles: The entire family will have a ball (and maybe learn a bit too!) exploring our family friendly attractions, places like Old Alabama Town, ArtWorks and more. n River Rides: Roll on down the Alabama River aboard the city’s very own riverboat, The Harriott II.
n Park Places: Take a walk, fly a kite or just relax with a book at one of Montgomery’s multiple green spaces like Blount Cultural Park or Vaughn Road Park. n Great Outdoors: Our mild weather means you can eat, drink and be merry alfresco at many of Montgomery’s restaurants and bars. Try Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina, Pine Bar and The Tipping Point.
EVENT PLANNER
n Pass the Biscuits: Catch a Montgomery Biscuits baseball game and maybe a flying biscuit too at the lovely and historic Riverwalk Stadium. n Sweet Treats: Get a mouthful of sugary goodness at Louisa’s Bakery tucked away in Old Cloverdale and indulge in a peanut butter cupcake. n Otter Nonsense: Go wild at The Montgomery Zoo, with hundreds of animal species. Don’t miss the tigers, the elephants or the playful otters. n Local Talent: We’re over-run with artists. Check out M. Bagwell’s colorful pottery creations, or the array of stunning fine art photography and paintings at galleries like Stonehenge, Dauber Gallery and SAC’s Gallery.

What a Capital Idea!
Tee It Up!
Montgomery, the capital city of Alabama, also served as the Capital of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. See the sites where all the action happened on this tour.
Alabama is home to the American golfer’s equivalent of Disney World. One stop on the famed Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail is nestled 10 minutes from downtown Montgomery. Golf Magazine called the Judge course one of the top public courses in America worthy of hosting the U. S. Open, and the Zagat Survey of America’s Top Golf Courses ranked it among the top 50 courses in America.
Courageous, Visionary, Rebellious Experience an event that changed our nation and visit Montgomery’s Civil Rights attractions. Become a part of Montgomery’s history and add your name to the “Wall of Tolerance.”
Arts, Culture & More Visit the museum dedicated to music legend Hank Williams and his career. Then, it’s off to the 350-acre Blount Cultural Park, home to The Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
Historical Churches Another favorite tour includes several historic churches that Montgomerians still worship in today. St. John Episcopal Church was the place of worship of Jefferson Davis and his family while serving as President of the Confederacy in Montgomery. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. first preached his

message of hope and brotherhood from a modest pulpit at Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church.
Super-Natural Gardens & More Explore the beauty and bounty that Mother Nature bestowed on the River Region at the Hampstead Institute Downtown Farm, Blount Cultural Park, Shakespeare Garden & Amphitheatre and Jasmine Hill Gardens and Outdoor Museum.
Retail Therapy Shop the capital city’s many unique boutiques as well as national retailers in several shopping districts, each with its own personality and offerings: The Shoppes at EastChase, Eastdale Mall, The Mulberry District and Old Cloverdale.

STAY: Look for the “pets allowed” designation on the Accommodations chart to find pet-friendly hotels.
Don’t Forget Fido
The capital city isn’t just cool for people, it’s cool with canines too. Check out these pet-friendly places that are happy to accommodate your four-legged friend. EAT: TRUE and Midtown Pizza Kitchen have outdoor seating where dogs are welcome. The Tipping Point in Hampstead neighborhood takes it a step farther, offering dog bones and water bowls for pets on its expansive deck and even Frisbees for playing in the nearby park.
PLAY: Montgomery’s Bark Park is a 5-acre area just for pooch playtime with special designated areas for both large and small dogs. There are also two pavilions, benches, a wash pad for each side and a walking trail. Located at the Blount Cultural Park, it’s a great spot to relax while your dog burns off some energy. TREAT: Stop in Louisa’s Bakery in Old Cloverdale and grab some fresh-baked, homemade doggie cookies made with only the best ingredients.

Take a Taste ofHMontgomery All of our area restaurants invite you to drop by and sample their creations. But the multitude of choices can be daunting, so check out these popular eateries sharing the secrets of their “signature dishes.”
Railyard Brewing Company Railyard Brewing Company is a burger and beer joint that takes both to a whole new level. Created by Chef Leo Maurelli (who was named “Best Chef ” by the Alabama Restaurant Association in 2012), the emphasis is on using fresh, local ingredients and turning out some amazingly creative burgers. You can build your own burger or choose from several of chef’s creations like the signature dish, My Mema’s Burger, with jalapeno pimento cheese and bacon on a pretzel bun. The signature patty is a blend of Alabama grass-fed beef and pork, but there are also turkey burgers, fish burgers and a veggie burger. And since you can’t have a burger with out beer, Railyard is brewing its own craft beer too. D 334-262-0080 • www.railyardbrewingcompany.com

Capitol Oyster Bar at the Marina
The Tipping Point
Dreamland BBQ
A long-time local favorite, the Capitol Oyster Bar recently moved to its new digs at The Marina bringing together delicious seafood, a come-as-you-are laid-back atmosphere and some great live music all on a bluff overlooking the Alabama River. Fresh catches from the Gulf of Mexico are grilled, sautéed, and of course, fried. The restaurant’s signature dish is the thick, rich gumbo, slow cooked with okra, peppers, tomatoes and filled with shrimp, crawfish tails, crab and sausage all served over fluffy rice. According to owner Lewis Mashburn, “It’s not too spicy, but it’s got a little kick.” D
Located in Hampstead in East Montgomery, The Tipping Point has something for everyone. This casual restaurant, coffee shop and bar has a playful and affordable menu inspired by some of America’s coolest cities. It also offers Intelligentsia coffee and teas and a great selection of specialty beers and wines-by-the-glass, plus weekly live music and events. Order The Tipping Point’s signature dish, the Chicago Dog, an all-beef dog loaded with American cheese, kraut, peppers and mustard.
End your quest for the perfect ‘cue at Dreamland BBQ downtown, famous for its succulent ribs and delicious sauce. Feel free to “pig out” on some pork, but save a little room for dessert since Dreamland’s signature dish is its Banana Pudding, made fresh daily with all the right stuff—vanilla wafers, ripe bananas, fluffy whipped cream and creamy pudding—plus a secret ingredient that puts it over the top. Dreamland also offers the largest draft beer selection in central Alabama and has outside dining. D

Chappy’s Deli
Baumhower’s Restaurant
The Exchange
For over 22 years, this Montgomery establishment has been serving up something for everyone. With a large, diverse menu of deli classics as well as new, innovative flavor combinations all served in a friendly atmosphere, you just can’t go wrong choosing Chappy’s for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Picking one signature dish was hard, but one of the staff’s favorites is the Maple Turkey Croissant. Other great choices include The Reuben (corned beef piled high); the Turkey Melt (cheesy goodness); and The Brazilian Salad (grilled chicken and fruit in a tangy, tart dressing). And kids under six always eat for free.
With two locations in Montgomery, Baumhower’s Restaurants focus on freshness and fun. These casual, sports-themed restaurants feature an outstanding selection of Southern favorites. Steaks; fresh, local seafood; chicken platters; and, of course, buffalo wings are all available. Baumhower’s signature dish, the Black & White Chicken Platter, features a boneless chicken breast that is Mojo-marinated, char-grilled with lemon pepper and served with their world-famous White BBQ sauce. If you are visiting downtown, be sure to stop in their location inside the RSA Headquarters. D
With world-class wines, beer and cocktails all served up in a swanky atmosphere that includes a covered patio complete with live entertainment nightly, The Exchange at the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa could stop right there and still be a great place to kick back and hang out. But wait… there’s more. They also offer a tasty menu to complement the bar with items like house-breaded Pecan Chicken Fingers with honey mustard, Blackened Fish Sandwich and the signature dish, Maryland Crab Cake Sliders, which are mini crab cakes served on snowflake rolls with Old Bay tarter sauce.

Legendary country music crooner Hank Williams got his start in the capital city and frequented many Montgomery restaurants. He was known to often write songs while sitting at the lunch counter in Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue.
Chris’ Hot Dogs
Montgomery Café
For a bite of Montgomery and a mouthful of history, grab a few napkins and get your hands around a hot dog from Chris’ Hot Dogs on Dexter Avenue. This legendary diner marked by the green-and-white-striped awning opened on May 1, 1917. It’s now being run by the second and third generations of its founding family. You can get a hamburger here, but the signature dish is a Hot Dog “All the Way,” a dog drenched in Chris’ secret sauce, sautéed onions and kraut. D
Conveniently located inside Embassy Suites, right next to the Visitors Center downtown, Montgomery’s Café specializes in American and Southern cuisine all served with a nice dollop of Southern hospitality. Its signature dish, Wild Apple Planked Salmon, is a good example of the delicious mix of flavors on the menu. Fresh salmon is rubbed with extra virgin olive oil, “Old Bay” seasoning, cilantro and tart lemon and then grilled on an apple wood plank from Maine. Adding the Southern component, buttered stone-ground grits and seasonal veggies complete the plate. D

Chick-Fil-A
Taste of India
The Deli at Alley Station
All white meat chicken coated in a crispy crust, a buttered bun and two tangy pickle slices equal the famous Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, the restaurant’s signature dish. The ingredient list is basic, but the taste is not; that’s why it’s been a favorite for decades. Add a side of waffle fries and some ice-cold sweettart lemonade, and you’ve got a pretty perfect meal. Milkshakes (in seasonal flavors), wraps, salads, amazing chicken soup and the new spicy chicken sandwich mean there’s plenty more to choose from too, but the No. 1 seller is still the original chicken sandwich. D
Visit Taste of India for a sampling of exotic dishes that will take your taste buds on a journey to the South Asian nation. Start with lamb samosa or vegetable pakora and then choose from a variety of tikka masal and curry selections. Tandoori chicken, with its flavors of garlic, ginger, lemon and Indian spices, is always a favorite choice.
A wide range of traditional deli and comfort food favorites are blended with Southern flair, but the restaurant’s Rueben Sandwich takes the prize for signature dish. The Deli’s Reuben is a well-balanced blend of robust flavors, and it is a bit different from your average Reuben, using pastrami, a signature sauce and thick-sliced pumpernickel bread. Swiss cheese and sauerkraut top it all off. The Deli is also an easy pickup place for take-out foods, and its market has staples like bread and canned goods. You can even choose from its wide selection of import and domestic beers to create your own six-pack. D

Irish Bred Pub
GiGi’s Cupcakes
You too can experience the “the luck of the Irish” no matter your family origins at the Irish Bred Pub downtown. In a cozy, old-world atmosphere reminiscent of the Emerald Isle’s classic pubs, enjoy the signature dish, the reuben sandwich. Thin-sliced corned beef is piled high on rye with kraut and melted swiss cheese and served with home-cut seasoned fries. At lunch, Irish Bred Pub offers a Southern-style “meat-n-three,” but the full menu has traditional Irish favorites like crab boxy, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie. The pie is a popular choice with its ground beef cooked with peas and carrots in thick, homemade gravy. That’s all topped with airy mashed potatoes. D
An exquisitely decorated gourmet cake piled high with delicious frosting: that’s a Gigi’s Cupcake. More than 100 flavor varieties, all baked fresh with the finest ingredients every day, including Gigi’s signature dish, the Southern Comfort cupcake. It’s a pecan pie cupcake topped with luscious caramel icing and dusted with powdered sugar. The unique texture of the cake and the sweet richness of the caramel make this an instant classic. In addition to delicious full-size cupcakes, Gigi’s also offers mini cupcakes in assorted flavors. The menu changes every day, so stop in or check it out online to see what kind of yumminess Gigi’s is cooking up today. 334-356-3737

TRUE In Old Cloverdale, TRUE is the stage where two-time James Beard Award semi-finalist chef Wesley True shines. At TRUE, you’ll find exceptional service and adventurous, farm-inspired fine dining in an inviting neighborhood setting. The menu is focused on locally sourced ingredients and full flavors, as exemplified in the signature dish, the fried catfish appetizer with egg, tarragon, pineapple caper vanilla, bean chutney and pickled beets. Wesley’s lunch menu is offered Tuesday through Friday, while his seasonally changing dinner menu mixes classic favorites with nightly specials. TRUE’s Sunday brunch is a tasty and relaxed three-course meal offering a variety of starters, entrees and dessert courses. D 334-356-3814 • www.truemontgomery.com

Central
Sinclair’s
La Jolla
A sophisticated yet laid-back feeling permeates this downtown restaurant that’s in an old 1890’s grocery warehouse. Central’s menu is focused on fresh, regional products like produce, meats and Gulf seafood. The restaurant’s signature dish is its Pork Shank, which is mojo braised and served with a chayote slaw and Mexican cream corn. The shank is on the menu year round, but its accompaniments change with what’s in season. Another favorite, the steak frites consists of tender, juicy hangar steak covered in a slightly sweet and thick house-made steak sauce and served with crispy, tasty French fries. D
This neighborhood favorite is welcoming, warm and as full of charm as it is flavor. Its moderately priced menu offers soups, crisp salads, heaping helpings of pasta, juicy steaks and more, but the signature dish at Sinclair’s is the Tomato Seafood Stack. Succulent shrimp, tender scallops and lump crab meat are paired with fresh tomatoes baked in a perfectly seasoned parmesan crust and finished with a delicate white wine cream sauce. Enjoy this delight at one of two Sinclair’s locations in the city: in the heart of Old Cloverdale or in East Montgomery on Vaughn Road.
You’ll find fine dining and stellar service at La Jolla, located in The Shoppes at EastChase. Executive chef Todd Batey has made it his mission to offer the best food in the city. The signature dish, Grilled Pork Medallions, is served with a spicy and sweet mango salsa over Caribbean rice with black beans and bacon. La Jolla is committed to providing its patrons with an intimate, relaxing fine-dining experience, so no children under 18 are allowed. 334-356-2600 • www.lajollamontgomery.com

Speak Southern? If you’re not from around here, some of the lingo you’ll read and hear at area restaurants may be confusing. Here’s a little dictionary to help decipher Southern food speak.
Garrett’s Just minutes from The Shoppes at EastChase, Garrett’s restaurant delights diners with a menu that’s a mix of French, Creole and Asian flavors, and every dish is prepared with the best ingredients. Savor the delicious dishes offered by this fine dining establishment in an elegant environment with stellar service. But the real magic happens in the kitchen. Chef and owner Gary Garner showcases his culinary artistry with Garrett’s signature dish, Grilled Prawns with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Bordelaise Sauce. 334-396-9950 • www.garrettsartoffood.com
Meat & three: Usually refers to more casual “home cooking” spots and means the menu offers a plate with your choice of one meat (fried chicken, country fried steak, fried catfish — sensing a pattern here?) and three sides, usually Southern-style vegetables like fried okra, fried green tomatoes, squash casserole, creamed corn, collard greens (see definition below) and more. Often served with cornbread or biscuit. Grits: A creamy, savory porridge-like dish made from ground hominy and often embellished with cheese. Shrimp & Grits is a favorite Dixie dish. sweet tea: The default setting when you order a glass of iced-tea down here. And sweet means S-W-E-E-T. Specify “unsweet” if you don’t want any sugar. Or ask for half-and-half for just a little sweetness. Collard Greens: Collards are leafy green veggies that are packed full of vitamins. They’re most often slow-cooked for hours with some kind of pork fat for flavoring. Look for a glass bottle with little green peppers in vinegar on your table; it’s pepper sauce, and it’s meant to be sprinkled on your collards.

Center of It All
Uncover the capital city’s pivotal role in two major moments in American history. Photo by Jim Pepper
Photo Courtesy Alabama Department of Archives
Cradle of the Confederacy
Change Born of Courage
In the late 1850s, turmoil was brewing around slavery and states’ rights culminating in the Civil War. And it all officially began in Montgomery. When the city was still only decades old, the orders to fire the first shot and embark on the largest armed conflict on American soil were signed and sent from the Winter Building on Dexter Avenue. There’s no better place to delve into Civil War history than in the city where Jefferson Davis, first and only President of the Confederacy, was sworn in and resided.
One hundred years later, Montgomery’s story came full circle. Proving a simple act can transform the world, Rosa Parks’ display of quiet courage sparked the Bus Boycott giving impetus to the Civil Rights Movement and making Montgomery the epicenter of a groundbreaking societal shift that would change our entire nation for the better. The struggle reached its positive resolution when, in 1965, following a brutal attack that stopped a prior march, marchers led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. set off from Selma and marched along U.S. Hwy. 80 to the capital city. They covered the 54 miles between Selma and Montgomery in four days and gathered without incident in front of the State Capitol. Not long after, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law.
HoME BASE For HErITAGE Montgomery makes a great home base for exploring many important Civil Rights sites. Montgomery to Selma: Much of the Civil Rights story can be revisited in Montgomery. But even more can be found along the National Civil Rights Trail, which links Montgomery to nearby Selma. Once in Selma, tour compelling sites like the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute, the Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church & King Monument and the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Montgomery to Tuskegee: A daytrip to Tuskegee offers a glimpse of heroism at the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site. Educational accomplishments are also honored in Tuskegee at “The Oaks,” home of Booker T. Washington, and at the George Washington Carver Museum.
LiSTen & LeARn Take advantage of The Civil Rights Audio Tour, a selfguided walking or driving tour of Montgomery’s Civil Rights sites. The program includes information about the places and people, featuring their voices. Visit the Montgomery Area Visitor Center for tour information.

The River Region got its name thanks to two major rivers, The Coosa and The Tallapoosa, joining to form The Alabama River just north of the capital city. The Alabama River runs alongside downtown Montgomery and continues south where it forms the Mobile and Tenasaw rivers, which finally empty into Mobile Bay.
