Think less "local pub", more fantasy mansion. The Ivy sprawls across George Street with multiple bars, a central courtyard where everyone can see (and be seen), and that famous rooftop Pool Club where palm trees, cabanas and cocktails do their best impression of a Miami daydream.

Fridays and Saturdays are peak chaos, when superclub nights take over the main spaces, DJs go hard, and the crowd leans young, dressed up and very ready for a photo op under the fairy lights. Midweek or earlier in the evening, it’s a different creature: polished after-work hangs, pre-dinner drinks before nearby spots like Bar Totti’s, or a rooftop session that feels almost civilised.
