You want food, booze, vape, game, anime, and more, all in a cozy, welcoming environment on the cheap? Then GTSouth is the place to go in Montgomery. GTSouth is a phenomenal "tavern" south of I-85 in a small shopping center next to Roses. This is a 19+ affair, but what you get is a strong blend of every geek culture you can imagine. A simple selection of excellent food, including burgers, sandwiches, tacos, nachos, and basic snacks lead to earning game passes, 1.5 hour tickets that grant access to play a huge library of games on classic and modern systems, all in easy access of the bar, plus a multiplayer pit in the front. Board games are welcome at all times, with plenty of room to play everything from simple card games to massive strategy and Euro games. A menu of e-cig juices are available to sample and create, all in-house and for very inexpensive prices. Meanwhile, the back area offers a custom built couch with plenty of cushions and a library of movies and anime to watch. But you came here for the drinks, didnt you? A good selection of beer and gluten-free ciders are available, along with a massive menu of fandom-inspired cocktails, mixes, shots, challenges, and even "noob" drinks, plus Coke products and energy drinks including Bawls. The array is dizzying, but all satisfying. Drinks and vaping are all allowed inside, which adds to the ambiance of the faux stone walls and dimmed lights. Youre even allowed to take drinks to the micro-theatre, but only via the bar-provided "sippy cups". This place is all about comfort and fun, which shows in the employees and the care put into building the space. Everyone from workers to regulars are decked out in geeky attire, from simple Zelda shirts, to rainbow cat ears, to crazy wizard outfits. Nods to the culture are everywhere, from Fallout signs, Mario posters, Dr. Who standups, and even Tribbles hidden around the shop! Everyone from the workers, managers, and patrons are all helpful, playful, and are able to adapt to requests, issues, and even just kicking back to relax. This is not your average bar. This is above and beyond what I expected a bar could ever be. When I first heard about it, I expected it was a locally-owned Dave and Busters style shop. But it was so much better. This community is open and lively, with events and deals aplenty. This will be a new regular stop for me, as I know I can always come in for a Shy Guy burger, fresh clouds of Dantes Waffleberry, and finish it off with a Black Pearl or Woodchuck over a game of Star Trek: Catan. Absolutely my highest recommendations.

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.

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

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!

Cool place for the geek or nerd. Play vidya gaems and drink dranks. Meet some assholes and meet some not assholes! Good fun for everyone! Tell them the internet sent you and you can get a drink at full price!

Miss Madness

Terrible service, was way too busy tonight with a lack of accessibility to a real bathroom and any sanitary requirements.
