i am a regular at the ivey and everytime i've been there i have had a great time. HOWEVER, last night i had one of the worst experiences i have ever had on a night out. my friends and i were sitting at the bar enjoying our drinks and the music when we noticed a group of people consistently pointing at us and what looked to be speaking about us. so, i calmly went over there and asked what was going on. this group consistently called me GAYden instead of caden, my name. funny joke sure, but when the bartenders also started calling me that, it was too far. i walked away and left it alone after what i felt was homophobia at its finest. HOWEVER, an off duty bartender at the ivey approached me and told me if i go on that side of the bar again me and my "gay friends" have to leave. i again calmy tried to get the working bartenders attention, who then seemed to ignore us the rest of the evening. i am sad to write a bad review for the ivey, but places like this in wilmington need to be called out!! justin is the only good thing about the ivey now. #iveyhatesgaypeople

The first night we visited, there was a super talented musician and a captivated audience. There seemed to be only one bartender that made drinks while the rest of the staff kept the bar stocked. The second night we visited, there was a dj and a totally different crowd.

Very cool, happening bar in the side streets of Wilmington. They had a DJ going. Cocktails were delicious, we ordered strawberry kisses and the poison Ivey and both were delicious. Hardly any seating because of the amount of people here. Ambiance was really cool and decor was definitely eclectic. Definitely recommend while in town.

Comfy, quirky bar in the middle of downtown but off the beaten path. If you want a break, have a wonderful cocktail/beer/wine, served by smiling faces check it out. Our first stop before heading to dinner. Nothing else like it.
Scotty (or Scottie?) is the BEST bartender! Such a great atmosphere and I had so much fun :)

This place is where it's at; the music is perfect, the vibe is wonderful. Scotty is the best, he was a spectacular bartender that made us feel so safe and welcomed! I'll come back to Wilmington just to visit this place again! The service from everyone else was just as amazing, an absolute 10/10!

Came here a year ago and the drinks were fabulous. This time around the drinks didn’t live up to our expectations. The poison Ivey cocktail was unbalanced, too strong, no garnish, and did not come close to our experience last year. Hoping things improve!

This place might be my new favorite Monday night hangout. Once you find the right alley to walk down, it's in a great location with a cute little vibe inside. It's a bit on the smaller side, so I'd be interested to see what it looks like on the weekend. The bartenders were super friendly and gave me a lot of advice on places to go since I just moved here. I ordered the Strawberry Kisses cocktail, and it was really good - on the sweeter side (which I like) and refreshing. The perfect summer cocktail. They had a lot of other cocktails to choose from, and they all looked great.Definitely recommend going for the cocktails and good convo with the bartenders! Right across from the riverwalk, too!

A very cool place! Creative craft cocktails, live music. In a little alley like you've discovered a secret!
