Always the best time at the Ivy . Great bartenders and awesome music with good sound. Seen some amazing up and coming bands as well as old favorites.

Kool bar. Feels like a reverse Maple Leaf New Orleans. Great place for live music. If like a band that's playing the Ivy Room, go! You won't regret it unless you don't go. Highly recommended.

Live Band Karaoke with THE LOST WEEkENDs was exceptionally fun! The band are VERY talented musicians and they work hard to give each 'guest' singer a good experience.The crowd at the IVY ROOM was very supportive (and forgiving!) and the staff was enthusiastic,and charming as usual.Aside from the live band part, it differed from regular karaoke in that the lyrics you are reading do not alert you to a starting point where you should start singing. They ARE on anIpad, but it's pretty much just the same as holding a piece of paper with lyrics printed on it. I suggest going to the band's website, finding the link to their list of Karaoke covers and practicing a little with a YouTube karaoke video of that song beforehand-if you don't know the song you want to perform really well already.I can't wait to go back, I hope the LosT WeeKends return to The Ivy Room soon !

It is easily of my favorite venues! The bar tenders are quick and prompt; they consistently book real punk bands, and it's a staple in the Norcal scene!

The staff and crowd have always been welcoming and gracious. An excellent atmosphere to chill and enjoy the magic of live music. Treat yourself and visit them soon.
Great venue to see support local music. Reasonable drink prices, cheap entry, good proximity to other bars and restaurants.

This is a good local bar in Albany. The bartender was very friendly and poured some great cocktails. They also host local bands, I will definitely be back. We had a great time

Dive bar with good bands. I hear Green Day often plays here. Saw steely dead here. The sight lines are awful so there are 2 TV's. If you get in early you can see the band live but a seat at bar or in the back is not enjoyable. The single bartender with his butt off
