The atmosphere is the best around and the drinks are fantastic. We can’t wait to return back.

This place was a fail for us, we really liked the initial feel of the place but unfortunately the bartender acted like he was annoyed by our questions about the cocktail list. The cocktails weren't good, this was the first time I have ever paid for a drink and left without finishing it because we were so turned off by the service and taste of the drinks.

Not sure I get the hype. The servers, 3 of them, all had sour faces and demeanor. It took 5 minutes before any of them even acknowledged us, and that was to bark out a “whatya want”. The live music was way too loud for the size of the venue as well. The place looked cool, and the location is good. I always give places at least two chances, but I hope to see different staff next time.

Hell yeah! This place has a sick vibe! Best whiskey sour ever.

Wife and I stopped in to escape the heat, and only one other customer and a single performer was setting up for his gig for the nite. Cool spot, as the name says Alley, a bit off the streets but worth it to stop in for a beverage, bartender was great. Check it out

As a lover of craft cocktails and eclectic bars, Ivey honestly not only checked every box on my list but then proceeded to blow them completely out of the solar system. I cannot recommend Ivey enough. Momo was one of the best and most knowledgeable bartenders I've ever encountered. I can't wait to come back again!

I hope I'm not an alcoholic. But here's another review where I didn't get a chance to try the food. Came to see Bob and found a hidden gem. Eclectic, quirky, great place to stop for a few drinks while downtown. Happened to catch The Preakness, so we got a barbershop quartet and chatted with some wonderful ladies in extravagant hats.

No disrespect to my other good bartenders but today i want to give a shout out to Justin Wilson! His service is impeccable, he makes the best espresso martini in town, and he obviously enjoys his job and live music, something very important to me! He’s the reason I come to the Ivey!
