The Ivy

We came for the Packer game. Great atmosphere and a great DJ for that. Lots of TVs. The only ding we'd give is they passed out free shots after every score - which is great! But for some reason they never came to our table. We were wearing Packer gear so it's not like it wasn't obvious why we were there. This was our first time at this place so I'm not sure if we had to tell someone we were cool with shots? We did get offered one after the first score but well after everyone else had already taken their celebration shot. We accepted but got nothing after that. 🤷 We didn't ask because we couldn't stay for the whole game and did have to drive but it would've been nice to at least have a shot be offered to all the Packer fans. Food was good. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and a few meals. Prices were fine for what you got. Waitresses and waiters were good. I would recommend this place!

Our organization recently worked with the Ivy for our most recent speaking event and we were met with an amazing team of hard working individuals who were friendly, helpful and catered to everything our group needed. The Ivy continues to be one of the best venues in Buckhead to host events. Special thanks to JP, Leah (Bartender) and the rest of the team for making our event memorable! We are looking forward to having our next event at the Ivy soon!

The outside was a good place to sit and watch football Sunday. You call see some people are more careless regarding covid and staff doesn't always wear masks outside, especially at the bar. The food was OK, again good for watching the game but nothing more. Got a burger and a wrap. The fries were pretty good too.

This place is huge! 3 different levels with 2 large outdoor areas and a dance floor. This place gets packed and appears to be more of a college crowd with a few older folks sprinkled in. Definitely cool for 20 to early 30's. Drinks are a bit pricey for the type of place it is. Overall not bad.

We hosted an event on the ivys rooftop & it was a blast!!!! JP really went over the top to make sure our event was perfect & was very helpful with planning! the bartenders were so much fun & the drinks were great! will definitely be hosting another event and coming back!

The Ivy was SO amazing for our PA prom!! They were very accommodating and were willing to help us with whatever was needed- from hanging signs for us, to setting up the stage, it was all so wonderful. Special shout-out to JP for making it all happen!! We will most definitely have events here again.

We had our big Buckhead Reunion yesterday and Ben Gunn and JP went above and beyond to make sure we had an awesome experience! JP got us wristbands made specifically for our group which was such a nice touch and everyone had a BLAST! Some of our group hadn't seen each other in years and it was nice being back in Buckhead! We will definitely be doing it again in the Spring and will contact him and The Ivy!

Location of the ATL Packer Backers and play every Packers game with a live DJ and fan club. There is a special menu for Packer game days that has Wisconsin favorites like cheese curds, brandy old fashioned, beer buckets, and brats. The atmosphere for games is great, but there are no beers on tap sadly. It can be a little costly for mixed drinks too, but the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Came here for Wednesday Bingo night. I had never been to bingo before so this was unexpectedly fun. The hosts were very entertaining, there were lots of prizes and free shots for the crowd. Proceeeds from the event went to charity so it was fun for a good cause. I look forward to going back.

I went there on a Wednesday evening to get some food and to my surprise, it was bingo night. We got a high top table near the bar, to play bingo it is $20 per person. The proceeds go to charity and there are several ways you can play as you can see in the bingo sheet. Everyone there was friendly and helpful all the winners get different prizes. It was a lot of fun, the food and the drinks were also really good. The wings were my favorite and the old fashion was very tasty. I will definitely try to back there on a Wednesday.

My friend dragged me here since she's been coming for Bingo on Wednesdays at 8:30 pm and to be honest, I didn't know what to expect. It was raining particularly hard on this day so the crowd was much smaller for their usual but I still had a great time! The MC is entertaining and more than apt to taking song requests. They have a full bar with lots of TVs if you wanted to come for games as well. Parking is limited but there is a parking lot there. Otherwise its a pretty spacious interior with a dark ambiance. I didn't get to try their food but my friend is a fan of their fries so may give it a shot next time. Will come again!

When we arrived it was a pushy very loud and RUDE female valet attendant there telling us to hurry and get out not knowing that my man was disabled. We asked her where the handicapped spots were and she blew us off telling us the venue has over a million dollar insurance policy for valet so just "pay the $10". We finally park and was looking for the entrance which she directed us ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK of building through the kitchen my man asked her this doesn't seem very accessible for wheelchair users and she looked us dead in the face and said "well don't F$$kin come here" like excuse me??! Cause what an A$$hole thing to say! The other staff was great at helping us get in the best we could which was not the least bit accessible. The ramp was broken, hidden and very unstable, we had to go all the way to the back of the building by the trash through the kitchen to get to the elevator smh..this place is NOT wheelchair accessible!! We will NEVER be back!! Also That comment from the valet was so insulting, disrespectful and RUDE!!!

First stop on the santacon crawl and although the space was great the drinks were very watery. The jalapeño honey fries were great and super crispy. The service was ok, but definitely nothing standout.

I worked with The Ivy to host my company's holiday party and it was a great experience. The events coordinator, JP, handled everything expertly. The food was phenomenal as well. Skyler was our bartender and she was great. Whether for an event or just a night out drinking, I highly recommend a trip to The Ivy.

This was my groups go to brunch place. The last two times we went the food was not as great as it was before. We normally get the bottomless mimosas. The last time we went we had to get it refunded, the orange juice tasted old and the champagne they used didn't taste right either. We usually just go for the food and to get a buzz , but the drinks were just so bad we had to order something else. I loved their waffles , but unfortunately the quality seemed to go down each visit. It held up for a few months and slowly went down. Might give them another chance but taking a break and finding new places to brunch . The best part always were the servers and managers. Never had a bad experience with them

The ivy is a go to for sure - great food, great drinks, great TV set up and an elite staff. Caleb, the bar manager, has this place running like a well oiled machine. Kara is the best bartender in buckhead and took great care of us. Loved the Cali wrap!!! Don't forget to tip

I found a welcoming staff and yummy eats at the bar as I watched fellow Republicans go at each other on Wednesdays debate stage (and upstairs). Looking forward to a return trip to The Ivy.

The Ivy is a bar scene with club music catering to the 20s-30s crowd. The music is not very "danceable" in my opinion so it's more of a pre-game spot before going to an actual club. They have good cocktails and solid service. I've also been here for a casual dinner and their wings are good, would recommend.

My friends and I visited The Ivy on a Saturday morning for brunch. It was three of us in total. We sat outside To soak in one of Atlanta's last nice, sunny days of Autumn. Brunch = drinking, so you know we had to try the mimosa tower. We were so excited when the tower came out. The Ivy's champagne tower was incomparable to any mimosa serving restaurant we've ever visited. The champagne was in the tower and the orange juice was in a kraft. One of my friends turned the spout to get some champagne and mildew came out. Apparently they forgot to clean the tower from the last time they used it. And from the looks of it, no one had used it in a very long time. We were absolutely disappointed and brought it to our waitresses attention. She apologized about the mildew (yuck!) and took the tower back, offering to bring us champagne bottles instead. We accepted and intubier with our brunch. However, there was a bit of a dent in our experience from seeing the mold in the champagne glass. We decided to stay and order food despite that experience. We chalked it up to someone simply forgetting to remove the spout and clean it separately rather than viewing the restaurant as generally unclean. We shared the 25 wing order and also ordered a side of fries. The wings were Carolina gold and teriyaki. They were some good wings. It's nearly impossible to have amazing wings in Atlanta. There are so many other places to go for "mind-blowing" wings. They were not as crispy as I would've preferred them. But they were edible. The sauce accompanying the fries were also delicious. Our server (whose name I've forgotten) was amazing. She was very helpful with rectifying the tower situation and recommending food options. I'm giving this place a three simply because of the tower. It's a great place to visit with friends, especially on nice days if you have the chance to sit outside.

Everything was perfect and it is a very nice establishment. Greatest place in Atlanta

A nice club scene! Great rooms, good music, spacious patio and an overall great time.

GREAT VENUE 10/10 would recommend!! JP was very easy to work with and went out of his way to make our event the absolute best it could be. Food was amazing, dj selection was great, and service was perfect. Will definitely be revisiting the ivy!!

Stopped in last Friday around midnight. It wasn't crowded at all. I can see how this place would be fun if there was a crowd. But no dancing when we went. They do have a nice outdoor space

(Review on the food, not the bar) Reading various other reviews before heading to this place, I was a bit concerned about what I would experience. While I have no qualms about party atmosphere and wild drunks at a bar, on this trip I just wanted to focus on the eats. Luckily, my friend and I decided to stop in on our way out of town. It was almost opening time, so I sure there wouldn't be any issues. It was early in the week, and the place had only been open about 20 minutes before we walked in. There was a few patrons bar side, and we were told to pick any seat we liked. Our only target was the burger with 1/3 lb of cheese. We also got mac & cheese (talk about redundant!) with an bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer. The shrimp- delicious, and the dipping sauce had a great kick to it. I always keep my expectations low when it comes to Mac & cheese at a sports bar, but this one was actually pretty decent. A good serving size, that my friend and I both had to take with us- because we couldn't finish the burger plus the Mac. The burger was cool, something I was happy to eat once. It had a rather flat patty and the bread was a little burnt, but figuring out how to eat it was fun in itself. Most of the cheese is fried to a slight crisp, sorta like eating a thick potato chip of cheese. Since all my friends saw my Instagram pic, (@burger.heaux) they also want to try it for themselves. So when I return, it will be mid afternoon, right after opening, so there is no ruckus. Our server was great also. Cool guy.

Dear people of color - stay away!!!!!!! I thought this was a potentially hip spot. No. It is not. It's a place for white people. They literally play corn hole here. They will do it right next to you and half heartedly apologize when their game is too close for comfort and disruptive to you. Moreover, if you're hanging out at the patio outside cockroaches WILL climb on you. The wine is terrible. Avoid at all costs.

Unorganized is the only word to describe the crawfish event Crawchella. What sense does it make to only have 2 boilers for an all you can eat event? And who thought it was smart to just dump the crawfish on the table and have ppl grab portions. Oh one of the tables broke as a result from that genius plan. Not to mention the crawfish was old and mushy. Will not be returning to any event they have again.

My first time at the Ivy was FANTASTIC. I'm a huge fan of the mimosa tower and the atmosphere. We got the Three Amigos and the Chattahoocherie board. The salsa is different but arguably the best and most fresh I've ever had! The chattahoocherie board was great for sharing! Management and Ashleigh our server were absolutely stellar. 10/10 would recommend

Honestly had a great first impression of this place despite the other reviews! I moved here about a year ago during covid, and just now trying to find the "cool places" to hang out. This is a great hangout for late 20s-30 somethings looking to get dressed up. The drinks are pricey ($9 for just a well vodka sprite, $5 for a beer) so if you're on a PBR budget, this isn't the place. The night we went had a band. Outside is definitely a neat place to hang out. Looking forward to trying to upstairs next time!

The Ivy is an awesome place to come hang out for drinks and have great food. Best chicken tenders in the game. Kaleb the GM had the place going strong and Kara is the best bartender in the business. Must see when your in Buckhead!!

Kaleb the general manager was SO helpful. We lost a phone and he was so eager to help us find it. He runs a tight ship and we were so glad to be aboard. Next time you need a night out the IVY IT IS!

Just no. Came here for the Blackout Brunch where we were supposed to get bottomless mimosas for the $30 ticket we purchased. What we got instead were cups full of Sunny D with literally no traceable champagne in it. They had this "mimosa" concoction sitting in massive buckets at every bar counter and served you out of it. I had five full 16oz cups and never got even a little buzzed. Absolute rip-off. Also had the misfortune of paying to eat food here. My boyfriend got the chicken and gravy biscuits and I got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I am absolutely positive that everything on my plate--besides MAYBE the potatoes--came out of a box. The biscuit tasted like cardboard, the eggs were tasteless and weirdly textured, and the cheese was Kraft singles for sure. So we spent $30 more on barely edible food we could have purchased for $5 at a 99 cent store. Bottom line: this place sucks and isn't worth your hard earned money.

Unlimited Mimosas on Sunday!!! Lately been the highlight of my Sunday's after church of course. The French toast is typically my go to because the Ivy wings aren't that great. This is just their lunch menu I'm sure there's much more than this based off what I've seen on Yelp. Great staff except for the dude in the bathroom -_- I can wash my hands on my own, I'm a big boy.

I agree with the 3 stars. I have been near here for years as I frequently use the car wash next door. First time entering smelled of a sewer problem. It hits like a snowball to the face; careful not to get the screw face. I came here for an event on the 1st floor. They have 2 floors and valet parking only. The charge is $3 which can be paid in advance or when you leave. Valet does not give you a ticket for your vehicle (people were losing them) but will take your phone number instead and text you a confirmation. Good idea. Service was steady and good in the restaurant portion. I did not taste any food but it looked like regular bar food. Bathrooms big enough with a few stalls and separate area for urinals in the Men's. The Ivy hosts a lot of private events. I am sure I will return again.

I went here for the first time yesterday for a friend's birthday. First things first valet is mandatory and it's $10 which I would have no problem with if this place was good. But whewwww chile. We went to order drinks, they don't have a cocktail menu and when we asked for simple things like a mojito or a cosmopolitan or even Kahlua and Baileys (staple drinks here guys) the server didn't: A. Know if they made those B. They were out of something. Even out of strawberries. The food was good but the server then set our checks in a stack and told us to give them out to each other. there was only like 6 of us and as someone who's served before this is not the way to do it. In all I don't know if this place was having an off day but I'm most likely not going back. Bless my friends heart who's birthday it was.

I always have a great time at The Ivy. They are pretty organized with all the events they host. Good and inexpensive food and drink selection. Parking is paid valet only but that's probably a good thing - encourages people to Uber. By far the best venue for watching big sporting events in all of Atlanta. Only complaint I have is that it does sometimes give off a slight southern white supremacy type vibe. However, the last time I was there was for the Bonnaroo event and that had a totally different non-fratty crowd which I appreciated.

This place is amazing!! The gazebo music is so great and the bartenders today, I think they were Matt and Jorden were so great!

Simply GROSS! Flying bugs everywhere! 1 bartender who is the waitress. Gross pizza that I had to pick up at the bar while people were leaning over it! Was here for Covino & Rich Show and they played MUSIC over the broadcast. What a mess.

It's probably not fair to review this place after just one can of beer, but I'll never be back, so I might as well. My husband and I are definitely not the target demographic for this place. For starters, we were there before 10pm on a Friday night. We'd had dinner down the street and were walking our way home, stopping for drinks as we got cold enough or got enough steps in. He'd been here before, years ago with some of his fraternity brothers who lived in the Ivy townhouses nearby. There's no bar menu - just beer and wine. The bartenders are there for their looks. I asked about a beer and was told "I don't really like beer, so I don't know." Come here for bar food, cheap drinks, and to rub up against other Buckheadites. Don't come for a drink when the lights are still bright and you're still sober.

My girlfriend and I went to this establishment, as it was recommended by a friend. We went in about 6pm, walked up to the bartender (Bayleigh was the name on the receipt as she neighter told us her name, or greeted us). We asked was it ok to sit down, she replied yes, and walked away. 10 mins go by, I asked Bayleigh S, who do we see to get service? She replied, she didn't know if we wanted to be seated at a table, or at the bar. I replied, we're right here in front of you. Once the food was served, after another long delay between Bayleigh's visit, I asked another server for our check. Despite Bayleigh's intentional choice to render horrific service, we still tipped her 20%. In conclusion, I 'm an honorable dicharged disabled Vet, and after serving my country for 9 years as a member of the U S Air Force, I just refuse to let things like this go unnoticed. DON'T GO HERE!

We had a GREAT time here! I've only been here once at night when it was packed and decided to go for $12 Bottomless Mimosas. It was another great experience! The waitress was so kind and kept those Mimosas coming! We had a group of about 7 people and getting a table was no problem considering it was pretty packed for a Sunday at 2:30pm. They had a live band singing mostly 90s type music. They were so good and lots of people got up out of their seats to dance and sing along next to the band. Some customers actually went on stage to sing along with the band like karaoke. Unfortunately, this particular time I didn't eat food but my friends did. Their food looked amazing! The waitress highly recommended the Mac n cheese as a side so my friend ordered it. It's not your typical Mac n Cheese. As a matter of fact, it's penne pasta in a light cheese sauce which was very good! My other friend ordered this huge salad that came with pecans and strawberries. I will definitely be ordering food next time, since we already have plans to go back in the near future! It's a sports bar as well so there's a full bar and TVs everywhere. I recommend this restaurant for brunch and even dinner! Prepare yourself for a GREAT time!

I'll probably keep this one short and sweet. There are only a few key details you need to know about the Ivy. Positives: This bar has lots of space, with plenty of patio up and downstairs. This is great on a fall Saturday for a football game. The Ivy makes a good UGA bar. There are cash bars outside where it is typically pretty easy to get a drink without a long wait. Cons: Bathrooms are gross and you are going to wait at minimum 15-30 minutes to get to one on a busy day. The bar tenders will offer a double which is great when you don't want to down a tiny drink and have to wait in line again, but the prices aren't cheap for a cocktail. The crowd is early 20s for the most part so even though some of my friends frequent the bar on game day, its easy to feel like the oldest person there. You'll definitely encounter several drunk college kids still learning how to tolerate their alcohol.

I went to Ivy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon! I made a custom pizza with pepperoni, green peppers, bacon, and basil which was delicious! We also had bottomless mimosas from a champagne tower. Fun experience! :)

Not bad. Two levels with several bars, and a "rooftop" atmosphere. Pumping music. Friendly people. Not sure about the prices but we got some beers. People dancing. There's also some seating outdoors if you want to sit. Heating lamps included. Also, giant jenga.

Yet another white buckhead bar designed to keep people of color from making it through the door. I pulled up to this spot with a mixed group and I don't have to tell you what race of people couldn't make it in. Unfortunate as we ubered from another side of town. The reason: "your jeans are ripped". Hoodies, ripped jeans, and timbs are part of my culture...why is this attired considered unsuitable for what amounts to a dive bar with frat boys stumbling over each other drunk. Not to mention the white girls leaving the bar wearing ripped jeans..."oh it's ok for them" was the answer. It's nearly 2021 people and we are still doing this? POC stay away...bad energy from this place even without the racism

It's not just that this place represents the worst types of humans who's idea of a good time is a small space in a weird part of Buckhead...because it does. No, the worst part is that they have a bathroom attendant in the men's room. They probably took that guy off the street just so you could have help with paper towels and then make me feel guilty for not tipping him. I wouldn't go back to this place if Margot Robbie called me and told me to meet her there. It's not a bar, it's not a club, but an awful hybrid of both

I paid this place a visit a couple of weeks ago prior to downing half a can of FourLoko and because everyone has been saying this is a must go spot ever since I've moved to Atlanta, assumed it was time to give it a shot. I'd say this is a better brunch place during the day rather than the incredibly crowded scene on weekend nights - NO way. Post pre-gaming on a Friday night, we headed here while it started pouring which was also a bad idea as there was a super long line past their awning which took about 30mins to get through. You can only valet there which also gets super crowded, or park far and take a walk - better yet just uber.Once inside the place was blaring the latest music you would hear on 95.5 the beat along with some alternative music sprinkled in. The bars were incredibly crowded and a little hard to get the bartenders attention, prob took about a few minutes to get our drinks served. Their bathrooms were surprisingly clean considering the large crowd that they were serving, so I was impressed with that. The dance floor was pretty big and honestly this place is just made for that... dancing, at least after midnight when I came in. One word that would probably describe this place would be fratastic. The crowd was more for those who were more interested in drinking like a fish and sweat dancing the night away with hundred other strangers being all up in your space. But in all honesty, it's an OK place with a great company especially if you are trying to go for a night of drunken debauchery.

Horrible workers. Got kicked out from someone else pouring a drink on us. Useless cops who can't even grab the right guy.

Came here for a late brunch on a Saturday. It was surprisingly empty both inside and outside but maybe lit afternoon brunches are only a NY thing. Anyways, we sat outside which was really cute and comfortable. I ordered the steak and eggs Benedict which was good but I kept tasting this odd sweet flavor. After getting half way through the meal I realized that it was the "pimento cheese" spread on the biscuit. I sucked it up and finished it because I was hungry but my boyfriend couldn't his pimento eggs and had them sent back. Other than that the waitresses were nice and drinks were strong--so I would give them another chance.

We were kicked out of our table because someone "bought" the table we were sitting at... funny how our waitress (Emily E.) and another ivy worker seemed to know everyone at the table. We were left searching for a place to stand in an overpacked bar on game day. When we asked the manager if our table was reserved, he could not give us an honest answer either. This is why I stopped coming to this place. These people are the worst. If I could give the Ivy a zero I would. Side note: to reserve a table is "$1,000" per waitress. Not a single person at the table were fans of either team playing.

Just no. The crowd is just much younger and not my scene. I had wine so I can't comment on mixed drinks. I felt like I was back in college and this point in my life that too far in the past. My friends were fun to be around, they invited me to an event there. Otherwise, this is not a place I would spend my time voluntarily.

This place needs more professional servers for customers of all races. Bartenders were chatting to each other the whole time, not asking if we want water or checking on us how was food and everything. Meanwhile, they were asking the people next to us if they wanted water while ordering... When we paid and left , not to our surprise, there was no greeting or good bye /have a good night.. I've never experienced such unwelcoming customer service in a bar at a busy Centrual location. But again, I'm not surprised to see an empty bar at 8pm...

Overall pleasantly surprised with our first trip here. Had a good feel to it, great music (DJ) and nice sound system. Bartender was slow even not during busy time and the little angels I believe it was called was over salty even for blackening and the bacon (wrapping the shrimp) was undercooked. All in all, a good time and we'll be back.

I came here to see the Super Bowl. When leaving the valet said they only took cash or the 'Cash me app'. They said they needed my number for the receipt... I gave them a google number that I use for situations like this. The next day I was never charged but the valet contacted me to see if my payment had processed. I told him 'no' via text. Then he started calling me and I decline. It's been months since the super bowl. Still, he calls me every other day asking me out and every time I reject him he either curses me out or tries to solicit me. Then two days later he apologizes and tries again. I've blocked him on several different numbers he uses and now have just deleted my google number. Beware of the types they staff. I tried to call the office to tell them of their staff but, no response.

Great place, great staff, and most importantly great food! Sunday brunch is the best. Shrimp and grits are a must have as well as the hangover burger and please don't forget the bottomless mimosas. By far my favorite place to hangout and watch football in Buckhead! Five stats!

I hate to write updates to a review - especially when the first two times were great. I recently went to The Ivy. I'm not sure what was going on. The valet wasn't there at opening...Maybe the server was new? He seemed confused and unsure how to respond to a lot of questions about the food and drinks. Typically, on a Sunday you can get a beer-mosa or a mimosa. He had no idea what a beer-mosa was. I don't recall if he ever got an answer if it was available. The food seemed subpar as well. Did not taste as great, it took forever for some of the groups food to come out. In fact, one order was forgotten. I probably will not return unless the waitress (Leah) I am confident with is there.

Okay, so I don't know how this place isn't slam packed on Wednesday nights. Ladies night.....everything on the menu is half off! Jordyn was our waitress and she was awesome! There was a large group of us and she remembered things about us from previous visits. Jordyn provided excellent service, checked on us constantly, and even had conversations with everyone at the table. 10/10 would recommend just for the service alone. Also, the food is delicious. A bunch of girls from my group got various dishes and we all enjoyed them. I even took a Breakfast Burger back home for my boyfriend and he devoured it because it was so good. Can't wait to go back for our next girls night!!

First of all-- thought this was a UGA bar...yet the one tv that is by us just got changed to the NC State game for ONE girl to watch(literally she stood up to let us know). Second-- took literally the entire first quarter to get a drink after being sat by a hostess before the game started. Wouldn't recommend for a UGA game. But apparently if you're an NC state fan you should definitely come.
