ivy complex

After numerous occasions visiting the ivy, it seems fitting to provide a summary review. I have enjoyed visiting the ivy pool bar for a work event during the day, and also for drinks and pizza in the evenings The concept of the pool bar is unique and attractive, and a great place to bring friends visiting from interstate! There is often DJs and great mood lighting. The vibe is very different night to night depending on the crowd, however. The ideal seats are usually booked, but there are packages you can reserve for a special occasion. We enquired for a hens but didn’t find it an inviting offer for a smaller group. Also worth noting that the dance floor has deteriorated in quality of music and energy post-pandemic, so wouldn’t recommend coming unless you have a large group to start the dance floor with you! On the whole though, ivy is always nice for a drink, but not my preference for dancing

The pool at ivy precint is one of the iconic places in sydney. Its called the ivy pool. The place is open until 3am, however the bar closes at around 1am. Overall a great evening spent here

It was ok, a lot of check points to get into the actual club. The bar for the event also stop serving alcohol an hour before the event finished. Pretty average with a narrow dancefloor too. To be honest it wouldn't be my first choice ‍

Absolute please to be dining at Merivale venues. The standard and freshness of service is maintained across all venues. Like the foood was so frikking delicious . The staff is very attentive and proactive. The drinks came to the table crisp and undiluted. Which I love.

55 dollars for overcrowded, terrible music taste AND horrible security and management. Friend got kicked out just because he said ‘it smells like vomit’. Got back in and was sent for a walk for no reason and wasn’t allowed to come back in saying he was intoxicated when he was conscious. Manager came and said he has every right to kick out people for whatever reason and took photos of us for records. A lot more people got kicked out for no reason. Will NEVER go back!

I was a little nervous about coming after reading the reviews & being from interstate but having already purchased a ticket for Crazy P and making my way to the venue I was really happy with the ID/ticket scanning process. All nice staff. I soon found my way to the iconic rooftop. The rooftop was beautifully lit with an array of colours and I was instantly transported into the vibe. Many great spots to watch and dance to the DJs and I never had to wait for a drink.

My work had our Christmas party there, and at the end of the night I had accidentally injured my food on some broken glass. Special mention to Lorena & Aishwarya who took extra special care of me - these two are lovely, caring, and work very hard! Their manager should give them both a raise, they went above and beyond to make sure I was okay. We had a great night at the Ivy - brilliant staff <3

Amazing venue. Extremely wholesome venue with security who will take the time to have a conversation with you about whatever you may need or want. Been here before and will definitely be here again. Heed my words! If you want to visit a venue where you can be who you are, no matter what that may be, this is the place for you!

Prob the best club in Sydney. We went there twice and both times we had a good experience compared to other clubs in Sydney The staff wouldn’t ruin your experience and they’re actually quiet helpful. They’ve got a pool outside that you can swim in as long as you’ve got swimsuits otherwise they kick you out lol. The music is OK but not anything especial.

So..... this place sells alcohol to patrons with no limits expecting people not to be intoxicated. Well done merivale. I've had a very poor experience where my partner who was waiting for me to come out from the bathroom to be escorted out as he looked like that lonely intoxicated guy standing in the corridor. Wow Ivy - I used to absolutely love this venue but never again.
