LocationJust off Lemmon and Dorothy-look closely or you will miss-between the liquor store and pawn shop.ParkingIn back-drive down Dorothy snd park in back of pawn shop.AtmosphereDive bar that keeps going-there is the front bar and the back that keeps on going. Tons of tv's, jenga games, pool tablesOffer karaoke and trivia Tuesdays! ServiceInitially not so good but really improved. Food service great. We had to stand at the bar-and pull up the online menu. They pulled out a big heater for the outside area that was great! Seating Bar, booths, hi and low top tablesCushy upholstered chairs in front MenuSo many choices! We had the state of Texas award winning greek salad which was amazing-so many black olives! Plentiful Fresh grilled chicken. The cucumbers had the seeds cut out! Nicely chopped tomatoes and the romaine was bite sized! The vinaigrette was very mediterranean in flavor! I had the back porch lemonade which has to be the best cocktail in town- yumma!! SummaryA surprisingly wonderful spirts bar find in Dallas! Great food, great atmosphere! See you there!

Great place to gather with friends for a cocktail & food. Cocktails are great & price is right!

Love the ivy Part neighborhood haunt Part destination drinks Not really near ANYTHING unless you live in one of the few apartment buildings on Lemmon Ave But worth the drive Parking in the rear and on the side street makes visiting a breeze Speaking of breezes The back patio has plenty of fans to keep you cool If you're lucky you'll be there on a Sunday when they have a DJSo fun But if not there's PLENTY of TVs to watch sports and a jukebox at ur command if you like to control the musicThey have everything from bubbles to beer to classic cocktailsI've had the food and it's fairly standard bar fair but done a little better than most places There's a good selection of items to choose from and I believe they have some vegetarian options which is nice. Service has always been friendly and attentive- even during dallas sport events It's a fun, casual happy hour/Sunday funday/everyday kind of place You'll like it, I'm pretty sure

Came here after googling happy hour spots on a Friday i got off early. This is a hidden gem that offers great food and good service. The bartender was super friendly and knowledgeable and gave a great recommendation for the wings. Their drinks are very well priced for dallas $5 crown and sprite can't beat that.

This place is fantastic. The drink prices are amazing and the trivia is so fun. It's also such a pretty area. The fans are perfect on the patio for hot summers. Service is also great - the bar remembers your drink!

Came here with some friends for a late lunch. It was a cooler summer day and we sat on the patio comfortably. (Was actually surprised how busy it was despite the parking lot being empty).My friends ordered a burger, a salad and 6 wings. They loved it all. I ordered a grilled chicken salad. Although it was delicious... and I loved the ranch dressing... it had dirty lettuce. They clearly didn't wash it. I picked out the pieces with lots of dirt and choked down the rest while repeating the phrase in my head, "God made dirt, so dirt don't hurt." The dirty lettuce knocked one star off. Service was friendly.

Good food and drinks, nice environment outside. Loud but can still have a conversation with group of friends.

This is place is amazing. When you walk in you are greeted with a great outdoor patio. The place is welcoming to everyone and all walks of life even your dogs. The food here is delicious and great the Greek salad is really good also the the brisket grilled cheese is yum. The bartenders are great and fun if you like a good fun chilling place this is place to come

We showed up and sat at the bar. One of us went to the restroom first so I ordered two waters and started us out with an appetizer of hummus. They quickly took my card to start a tab and brought our water and appetizer a few minutes later... then they never talked to us again. Note it was not a busy Saturday night, with multiple barstools open while we were there. After finishing our waters and appetizers 30+ minutes later we had to call the bartender over to close our tab. At this point our hopes of ordering drinks and entrees were crushed.At best it was a bartender who didn't care about patrons, at worst it was an un-LGBT+ establishment. We will not return to find out which it is.*The hummus was delicious and we wish we had the chance to their entrees. The music was at a perfect volume and the decor was nice.

Good patio with a casual bar and grill pub feel. Enjoy the beers on tap and sandwich menu. Appreciate that it is family and dog friendly.
