Great idea with cool open seating. Beers are ok but variety of choices. Good selection of food vendors. The empanada place was a great surprise. The loaded fries at the burger place was so so - need more loaded toppings. Unfortunately the pizza and bbq places were closed but would like to check them out next time.Updated:Dinged a star as I wish there was music outside to enjoy while hanging out.The pizza is decent from Decents and the loaded fries from Spark is a must have.

This was just a cool atmosphere to be able to relax at for a while. It is a company that bought an old school and turned it into multiple mini-restaurants (based on the type of food) and had a brewery here as well. The beers were great, I stuck with the IPAs but I was very happy. The food was pretty good too, we had a mix of pizza, burgers, salads, green chili fries, and empanadas. It was largely self-service, you go place your order and they will text you when to come pick it up. Outside is a chill area where kids can play and you relax with a beer. I would definitely go back here again.

Such a great atmosphere and awesome food and drink options! Had a going away get together with some coworkers and it was such a great time! Friendly staff and lots of seating area inside and out!

Good beer and good food, in that order. Love this place!

Meh for food.Great for drinks.We found the food options to feel limiting, as most of the menu items were fried junk food. That being said, it wasn't a bad experience. The building itself is beautiful (inside and out). There are tons of outdoor spots, and the self-serve water and silverware stations helped the crowds manage themselves smoothly.It felt like more people come here for the alcohol. It's a small food hall but has maybe five spots to get alcohol. From beer to whiskey to artisan cocktails; there is definitely an emphasis on this over the food itself.I'm not sure we will be back, as we don't drink alcohol. However, I would recommend this place to a person looking to grabs drinks and some standard-ish bar food.

I love that even though there are individual establishments, they are all interconnected, and you are free to roam among all of them.

We had already eaten so didn't try anything, but it was still worth a visit just to check the place out. Very cute.

One of my favorite places in the Springs. The coffee is always delicious, the vibes are right and there are lots of places to sit and read or study. I love the nostalgia of the school, especially the murals in the bathrooms. The pizza place is 10/10.

Such a cool place to go and have a beer or cocktail with friends.It’s a must do on my list for visiting friends and family!
This place is so cute! A food hall in an old school, clever use of a space. My daughter ate a burger & fries from Ivywild Kitchen & she ate every last bite of it including her fries, the guy at the counter was so friendly & had great energy. Great service! They had decent BBQ Bristol's Spark but id skip the brisket, it was a little dry. The ribs were tender and tasty & they have a mustard & regular BBQ sauce. The mustard sauce was a little tastier than the regular one. The regular BBQ sauce was in the sweeter side.

Made it out to @ivywildschool tonight and got sent to the @poativywild! They had such a fun vibe and really tasty drinks. The overall experience was amazing! Loved the theme to the cocktail menu (swipe to see). My favorite was the "Lisa Frank-ly It's Blue" (Batavia Arrack, blue curacao, coconut liqueur, orgeat, lime, pineapple, demerara syrup, bitters Contains Nuts)

Love the location and the vibe. However I went to two different venues and both servers of them pre-selected a tip in two different locations. BAD IDEA(!) and poor business choice. Its lower then I would have tipped. I work in the service industry and manage a business currently. Beware when you close your tab.

I booked an event at the Gym for 80 people and worked with Hannah. She was incredibly responsive, treated every request like it was no sweat, and was extremely attentive the entire night. Hannah and Ashley, the bartender, ran the event so smoothly that it felt like there were 5 staff members assisting. Highly recommend Ivywild for your next event.

Great drinks, great food and awesome atmosphere. It's built into an old school and has many choices of food and drinks. All together a great place to hang out.
