The Ivy

This place is a modern day miracle oasis just outside of downtown Buckhead. The bartenders and drop dead gorgeous and are hands down some of the friendliest in the industry. The food tastes great and is priced well below the area standards. Basically it’s heaven. «All roads lead to Ivy is a saying around here for a reason»

Enough TV’s for every game. Great outdoor space. Casually classy? Lots of Buckhead Betty’s in the mix

This place gets three stars because of the pricing of their bottomless mimosas. The are really good and full of champagne. On the other hand, I’d rather eat at the waffle house than here.
I ordered steak and eggs, when I received my plate I got beef tips and eggs. Lol they cut my steak for me lol. Also, they didn’t have any steak sauce … So I has to use ketchup
The service wasn’t bad. The food was just a major disappointment.
Not sure if I’ll return to this place!

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 Unilocal.
Great staff except for the dude in the bathroom
–_​– I can wash my hands on my own, I’m a big boy.

the best bar in Buckhead! Great crowd, drinks, bartenders, & atmosphere!

Stopped here before we began the night. Some of our friends were there. This place really annoyed me. They made my BF take his earrings off saying rules after 11 guys can’t wear earrings. I think that is very stupid. Girls can wear huge earrings but a guy can’t makes no sense. We used their bathroom & quickly left. Don’t bother coming in lots of better places in buckhead

This reminds me of a college bar. Pretty outside area. Great crowd. Usually busy. I kinda feel old when I go there;) but I always have fun when I go.

Came on a Saturday night during Labor Day weekend. There was no cover charge, score! Majority of the guys there were wearing SEC gear — UGA /​Auburn collared shirt, khakis and sperrys with a cap. Some girls wore SEC gear with pom poms on the side of their shirts but a good chunk of them wore going out clothes.
I like that this place has various rooms with different vibes/​music. Warning: upstairs has no a/​c! You will feel like you are taking bikram yoga. My group kept going back to the outdoor area to cool down. Drinks are around $ 7~ not bad.
We had dinner at bar taco across the street, saved the receipt and put it on dashboard for free parking.
4 stars for a fun night!

You know what their burger was pretty damn good. Came for Sunday brunch and had their classic cheeseburger and it was delicious! Wasn’t fancy by any means but it was amazing. I killed the whole thing and the fries :)
Our server was really REALLY awesome as well! We had a nice rough evening before (bachelorette party) and he got us a bottle of champagne! All the servers were super nice too coming around asking if we were okay!
Great spot!

Came in a Sunday to enjoy bottomless mimosas with friends. All OJ, no champagne. Food is sub-​par, typical bar food. My friend ordered the MAC-​N-​CHEESE– it looked like box Kraft Mac n Cheese, unfortunately Kraft may have more taste than IVY’s rendition.

Calling all 30-​something guys that dress like they’re 21 and still think they can pick up an 18 year old-​I have found your home! Welcome to The Ivy! A restaurant by day, club/​bar at night that still manages to charge a door fee just to watch a college football game in the middle of the day.
I came here with a group of friends to watch the Georgia VS Auburn game and was surprised at the crowd. Foolishly, we paid $ 5 each to get in but they have a great patio and this is where everyone wanted to go. 2 drink minimum, 1 app per person minimum– you’ve been warned. Your waitress, Gidget, will remind you of this every hour on the hour as she eats stuff off your plate.
Our waitress was MIA and rightfully so, the patio was full of Buckhead Daddy’s and she was preoccupied by the OBGYN at the next table. I assume that was his job as he was literally in scrubs (yes, really) and our waitress was always bent over by his table. We had to go to the bar for refills and we got our own food from a different waitress who must’ve already had her yearly physical.
At The Ivy you’ll pay $ 9 for a mixed drink, $ 6 for a shot and $ 15 for an appetizer. But don’t worry, if you sit the patio you have front row to the sad dating rituals of the Buckhead «elite.» Don’t know where to wear your new UFC shirt? Lost without the Bebe logo across your butt? Sad you can’t function without lip synching like you’re having a seizure to EVERY song on the radio? I’ve found your playground, Cox employees!
Wear your dark sunglasses to people watch, pack your patience and leave your dignity and self esteem at the door and you’re set. Just don’t forget to check ID’s if you want to bring a girl home. Just because they’re wearing a college name across their chest doesn’t mean they know how to spell it or that they know what city the school is in or that their old enough to go to that school. You’ve been warned.
Dear Yvette-​My group of 8 was charged a door charge. We were also informed there was a minimum drinks and minimum food order to stay for the entire 4 hour game. We were told the limits were in place due to the amount of people expected to come in the restaraunt to watch the game. Contrary to other Unilocal reviews, I do not post inaccurate reviews of businesses. Minimum requirements for food and drink is expected in a lot of restaurants for sports events. With one of the biggest games of the season, it was not a surprise.

I’ve been to the Ivy on several occasions for work happy hours and for the first time, I visited it on a weekend in my free time. I must say, I enjoyed it.
— COLLEGE BAR, BUT EASY ON THE POLOS. The fact that not all people were dressed exactly the same tells me that it’s not as heavy on the frat grad scene as most of buckhead bars. Nonetheless, mostly everyone here was a recent graduate from UGA/​Auburn/​every other southern school in a business or communications major. Sure, I am profiling, but I can promise you with high likelihood that this is exactly the case for most of the crowd. There was also some number of people who seemed to be the affliction shirt wearing type that went to a community college and are nothing more than trust fund babies.
— COOL SPACE — very big open rooms, tons of people having a good time and decently clean. Now, there was a few of those college bar elements where beer bottles are laying in the plant pots, but not overwhelmingly so. There are deer heads lining the hallways, nice décor and just a great design for a bar.
— QUICK SERVICE — both the valet and the bartenders were quick. Loved that part, especially given how hopping the place was on a Saturday night.

I have been here twice so far for my best friend’s birthday. They have a super nice bathroom attendant. I felt so bad that I could not tip her because I had no cash on me what soever. She deserves a raise! I had no idea that this type of place would even have a bathroom attendant. Next time, I’ll make sure to stuff some cash in my dress as well. This place has a pretty cool atmosphere and I love going upstairs. This place is well kept. it is definitely an older crowd. College kids or people who still party like they are in college. Drinks were good. I had a fun night. No complaints here.

I went to The Ivy for the first time last Sunday for the NFL AFC championship game. When I arrived it was love at first site. I loved the outdoor bar area and the bocci ball court, the inside was also just as nice. The Ivy was extremely packed with mid twenty to thirty something’s, and the DJ was playing the most current hits, all while the game was on. My friend and I found two seats at the bar to watch the game and qs introduced to the bartender Hunter who was awesome. Although The Ivy was extremely busy, Hunter was very attentive and gave us a warm welcome. We had a few drinks and scarfed down some sweet potato fries. It was an awesome time and I cannot wait to return!

Police here are rude! We wanted to go here for dinner. I was here with 2 beautiful young ladies. As the taxi brought us to the door, an Atlanta police officer hit the window of the taxi with his baton and shouted for us to keep moving. We decided to not eat here. I took a photo of the officer and he grabbed open the door of the taxi and asked if we took his photo (which is perfectly legal). We will never go here. I am filing a complaint with the Atlanta police department as well.

I’ve been here once before. It’s a college bar at best, and a «god I wish we were still in college!» bar at the worst.
Also, they recently stole a shirt design from an indie clothing company (after the indie gave a few shirts to the bartenders). Guess their business practices are as classless as their drinks.

You know, I was expecting worse. I went here for an Alumni networking event and, always the outlier, ’twas concerned about ‘fitting in’ in this frat haven.
Beer specials were freely known. Football remained the center of attention.
Roll Tide.

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.

#SUNDAYFUNDAY
We were looking for a bottomless mimosas place to make up for the rain ruining our outdoor Sunday Funday plans. I had heard The Ivy was fun and had a band so we checked it out. We had a group of 7 people and although the restaurant was busy they were able to accommodate us right away. Our servers name was Leah and she was AMAZING! Be sure to ask for her. Right away she was telling us what was good on the menu, we didn’t even have to ask! Our $ 12 bottomless mimosas + water were always full. The band was fun, though due to the weather they had to play inside and it was a bit loud. People were dancing, definitely a good time for a wild Sunday Funday. Not somewhere to bring the parents when they are visiting Atlanta though. I ordered a wrap and for my side I got the mac-​n-​cheese per the waitresses recommendation. It was amazing, white mac-​n-​cheese with a bit of spice to it. But, pretty rich, I couldn’t eat it all. All-​in-​all most fun Sunday I’ve had in awhile and cannot wait to go back and will definitely be asking for Leah!
*bottomless mimosas served until 5pm. Brunch menu ends at 3pm.

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 karaōke.
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!
