On the corner of San Pablo and Solano. I moved to the neighborhood right when they closed down for the remodel, and haven't checked it out since they reopened. Any opinions?

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Fri, January 19, 2007 - 11:29 AMI haven't stepped foot inside since Bill sold the place. I don't think I'll be able to for awhile, I loved that place. It's the only bar that's ever been "my bar". I've seen so many awesome bands over the 15 years I hung out there. Sad. But I'd love to hear what the scoop is with it, as well. It think the people who own Kingman's Lucky Lounge operate it now. -

Fri, January 19, 2007 - 4:12 PMI live down the street and it is a lounge now. Still has that rock band smell to it. Not sure if you are into that.

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Fri, January 19, 2007 - 10:23 PMI live in the neighborhood too, but I haven't been in there yet. I've been told, though, that the new Ivy Room is very much a lounge, with stuffed chairs, ferns and carpet. Someone compared it to a hotel bar, without the hotel. And a "professional" bartender. Just about everything the old place wasn't. I don't really see the need to go into a place like that.
I wasn't ever a big fan of the old Ivy, being more of a Pub guy (the Pub on Solano), but at least the place felt like people hung out there. -

Sat, January 20, 2007 - 10:35 AMI loved the old Ivy....your description of the new Ivy sounds depressing. Alas, nothing is forever in this world.

Sun, January 21, 2007 - 4:18 PMGood Service, Good drink = Good tip................... -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Sun, January 21, 2007 - 5:28 PMWell, in general probably so, but some customers are real freakin' cheapskates. For some reason, one of the warning signs is the types who announce they tip well.
I'm just a customer, not a bartender, but I've seen it.
I haven't set foot in the Ivy Room since it changed hands. I used to love that stage, and the bands that played there. So where do people like to go for drinks in the daytime? My regular bar is George Kaye's in Oakland, but I only like Dave and Ted, who work nights.

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Sun, January 21, 2007 - 8:03 PMThe Ivy Room used to be mighty funky, but I had a good time maybe 60% of the time. I am curious to see what its like now. -

Tue, January 23, 2007 - 1:34 PMInteresting. I thought reading the cat fight unfold was kind of entertaining, but I understand. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 2:26 PMI think someone didn't want any East Bay Bar and Pub owners to know that they would intentionally sicken someone by putting visine in their drink if they didn't tip them what they thought they deserved. Not the best way to go about finding new bartending job, in my opinion. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 5:56 PMi think someone spends too much time on the internet twisting words and creating a much more interesting personality for herself, rather than being an interesting person in the real world.
tribe much rebecca?? -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 6:00 PMRight, threatening to sicken people for not tipping your pathetic ass is EVER SO interesting. You're a fucking sickening piece of human detritus. And who's the one who went crying to have your postings removed? Certainly wasn't me. Afraid someone you want to work for might see that you were fired for harrassing cutomers for not tipping you? Pretty lame.
And as to Tribing much, yes, I do. And I enjoy it greatly. I also have a ful-time job. How about you? Oh yeah! That's right! You were fired from the Ivy Room! -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 6:03 PMno, i threatened to poision you, instead of kiss your ass. get it straight oh boring and lonely one.
i am a great bartender. you are a cheap and angry bitch. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Tue, January 23, 2007 - 11:45 PMthe thread has a life again!
Kinda like rebecca. Make no mistake spygirl, Rebecca's got a life- a rich one at that, filled with experience and love.
Sometimes bartenders give shitty service. sometimes even you. SF and Oakland are full of crappy bartkeeps. We've chronicled Kittys in this forum, Ruby Room, tons of places.
Look at your recent work history as a constructive critique of your style and personality. Sometimes it's off. It doesn't require idle threats to anyone here or on the other side of the bar. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 12:16 AMhey, personal attacks all around.

the end. -

So hot! -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 3:48 AMSo ... Nice tribe :)
Chick Fights Are RAD, ( yeah i said it, " rad " damit )
It's Better when The "Chicks" in question are mostly Naked, and Cover'ed in Baby Oil.
i will miss the ( Old Ivy Room ), Bill rocks ... he hangs at kittys from time to time . -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 9:03 AMAnd Ali, I apologize. I know you don't want a bunch of horseshit in here. I just had to say my peace. I work in the Medical field and I really just take exception to someone threatening to poison people because they don't tip what they think they should. That's a public health threat and HIGHLY ILLEGAL. It's assault. Not cool. Please feel free to delete whatever you want to get rid of. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 9:06 AMP.S. I just typed that while naked and covered in baby oil. -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 11:57 AMThanks, baby doll! Can you rub some baby oil on it? I'll return the favor, I swear! :) -
-
Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 12:03 PMoh guys, no need for anger or violence here. Rebecca and Spy, why don't you just kiss n make up... with tongue.
(there, that oughta get the boys going) -

Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 12:05 PMWhat, being naked and covered in baby oil ain't good enough for you? Shit, tough crowd. -
-
Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 12:11 PMI'm whooping & hollering over here! -
-
Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 12:17 PMEspecially if I'm the one rubbing it all over her body????
-
-
Re: The New Ivy Room?
Wed, January 24, 2007 - 1:22 PMHonestly, Rebecca, I don't really think of you that way. And because I've never met Spy, I don't really think of her at all. So it's probably not me you're tryin' to impress.
keep up the baby oil and the girl on girl stuff. THAT will earn you guys some tips in a hurry. -
