My boyfriend and I are frequent customers at Ale & Ivy for dinner and/or a quick drink at the bar. Taylor is by far the best waitress we have ever had and always ask for her section every time we go! She's very positive, attentive, efficient, and genuine. We never have to worry about our food or service when she's our waitress! read more

We went in on a Sunday afternoon and they were fairly busy. Mary Kate was our server and she was great. Very sweet and attentive. (I was never out of beer which means I'm happy because that's a necessity when having mud bugs. lol) We ordered 5 lbs of crawfish with mushrooms. It automatically came with potatoes and corn as they were having a special that afternoon. The crawfish were seasoned nicely, the only reason I didn't give a 4 star is that there were quite a few very small ones that we didn't even peel. I've been here many times and the ambience is always fun. I love their decor and it's always clean. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

After pottery, we slid over to Ale & Ivy at her suggestion, and honestly... solid call. We did a little musical chairs at the bar at first (you know the drill--hover, smile, hope someone gets up ), but ended up claiming a spot in the lounge area right in front of this massive screen TV. And let me tell you--that shift made all the difference. It gave us the relaxed, low-pressure vibe we needed to actually talk and enjoy each other's company without feeling rushed or crowded. We ordered a round of drinks and a few appetizers: Three pepper queso (definitely a win) Cheeseburger egg rolls (yes... and yes again) Crab egg rolls (...we'll just say these didn't make the highlight reel) Everything hit except the crab egg rolls--they just weren't giving what they were supposed to give. What I really liked about this spot is that it's not just a sit-and-eat place--it's an experience. They've got pool tables, basketball hoop games, cornhole, and even karaoke studios. We didn't tap into that this time, but trust--we already said next visit is game night. There's also outdoor seating if you want to switch up the vibe. Overall, this was a great place to close out a first date. Good energy, plenty to do, and enough flexibility to make the night what you want it to be. We'll definitely be back... and next time, somebody's getting beat in cornhole read more

My wife and I had their 16 oz ribeye steak special and... wow. Absolutely loved this spot. It was so good that I fell asleep in the car on the way home. Unfortunately, I hit another car. Still. 10/10, would absolutely come back again (and maybe let my wife drive next time). read more

Went on Tomahawk Tuesday but saw no signage for the event at the place. Had to ask our waitress if it was even going on. So online they advertise tomahawk steak for $55 but waitress says it's $60. Sheesh. And it's also ala cart. Dang, for half that price I can hit a churrascaria and get an awesome pre-meat buffet to boot. I wanted to have a positive experience here, so I decided not to order it because I just sensed only disappointment would ensue. They also have a ribeye special Tuesday. Online they advertise for $18.99. But waitress said it's which is now $20.99! Yo!! Really starting to piss me off with the outdated prices online. They really need to update them! Mashed potatoes and side salad included. But if you agree to the loaded mashed potatoes it's an extra $2 (I only discovered this when the check came out). And the salad comes out pre-tossed so no way to control the amount of dressing on it. How was it? Tough AF. It looked really good but my kid couldn't even swallow the bites she cut off. She had to spit each one out eventually. I thought she was being totally ridiculous. So I tried it myself. Whelp she was right! every bite I felt like a cow chewing grass. Like the energizer bunny, chewing on and on and on. Like chewing gum. Then the final swallow was difficult because you just can't grind it down. WTF. There's a happy hour where chicken street tacos are $3 off the regular price. Buffalo fries and mozzarella bites as well as queso are discounted and some drink specials. 4-7 pm. We got the tacos and the meat was dry AF. I'm sorry I just really wanted to love it but it was so incredibly dry. Ain't no street taco I've ever had. Usually they're moist and greasy AF. Just the opposite here though. Staff is uniformed. My kid said it reminded her of twin peaks but I beg to differ. However they were more friendly than twin peaks staff. They have a couple of pool tables. Other games as well like corn hole toss. Many tv's. Private dining area. And an outdoor patio. Ambiance is nice. But food just sucks. Sorry. Maybe id come for drinks. And then once I'm drunk enough the food would be edible. But otherwise we wont be back for dinner again. read more

Nice spot with large TVs, indoor entertainment, and a patio area. Excellent for watching football. The fried pickles are great, the siracha ranch has a nice kick to it. The wings are large, and the buffalo mac is tasty. Large beer selection as well read more

My boyfriend and I came into the establishment and the service was slow. My boyfriend ordered the tom a hawk and I ordered the 16 oz rib eye and of course my food was going to come out first before his tom a hawk he kept getting upset because it was taking so long I had to explain to him it was taking a long time because his steak was bigger than mine. read more

From the cheeky puns, to the luscious lounge, expansive bar, games, and decor, this restaurant is surely a Woodlands standout. Apart from the that above, the weekly specials and happy hour seem worthy of the drive alone. Unfortunately, my excitement dwindled with the service and food. -We had to flag our waitress down numerous times -we were not given the option to try any beer before making a selection -the queso had an odd flavor and texture -the tacos were a Texas miss -the burgers/sliders-very good! -given the experience I skipped dessert (a rare sentence from this sweet tooth) All of that being said, maybe we experienced a one off. Either way, I wish them the best! I'll likely drop in again when I'm in the mood for a good slider! read more

Ambiance: Aesthetic bar & restaurant with a large center bar and a number of high top and regular seating options. Ale & Ivy offers arcade games, a large patio with ample seating, a lounge area, and themed events like weekly live music. Their food and drink options are great! The cocktails are always unique - although a bit pricey. I highly recommend their Thursday "Girl Dinner" which serves salad & French fries in a giant martini glass. The space does get crowded so I recommend planning ahead for large groups. Parking onsite. Friendly service and clean bathrooms. A great spot for socializing and hanging out! read more

Ivy and Ale is such a vibe! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and fun. The music was on point--great variety that added to the overall energy without being too loud. One of the things I really appreciated was the diverse crowd--young, older, in-between--it felt comfortable and welcoming for everyone. The space itself is super cute and thoughtfully designed. There's an open bar, TVs everywhere for the sports fans, cozy couches, and even an outdoor area if you want to hang outside. They also had basketball games going on, so there's a little something for everyone. We ordered a few things to share, and the food didn't disappoint. The smash burger? Absolutely amazing. The pizza? Off the chain. We also got the crawfish--price was very reasonable and the portion was great. The seasoning was a bit different than I'm used to--maybe turmeric?--so it wasn't my absolute favorite, but still solid (7/10 flavor-wise). Our waitress did forget our waters, but honestly, everything else was smooth, so it didn't throw the night off. Drinks were simple but good--I had a seltzer and my husband had a blackberry Sprite. The bar options are wide open, though, so next time we'll explore a bit more. All in all, Ivy and Ale is a strong 9/10 for me. Great food, fun energy, lots to do, and a perfect spot to unwind. Definitely planning to come back for brunch sometime soon! read more

I had a good experience at ale & ivy. The vibe was really nice, but the food was just ok. Service was good as well. I stopped into ale & ivy on a Thursday night. It was moderately busy, but there are a lot of tables (so don't worry about making a reservation). The ambiance was really nice. It was a large interior space with tables & lots of TVs. They had a lot of games (pool, karaoke room, corn hole, arcade games). The music was pretty good and a bit loud. A nice bar space :) I got the backyard sliders. They were ok. Nothing blew me away but it was pretty good. We also got the street corn dip & chips. It was a bit of an interesting presentation but tasted decent. Drinks were very good. I'd try something else if I came back here. But the ambiance was so great, I'll probably come back for happy hour with my coworkers. read more

We came here after a work team building event. The food here was surprisingly good given that I usually have low expectations of bar food. The chicken wings were my favorite as they were very generous in size and the ranch was extra delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. There's plenty of free parking. My coworkers have been here many times for the karaoke and I've heard that it's a blast. I'll have to come back for that next time. read more

Sat multiple people who weren't on the waitlist not sure if they were their friends or they paid them money to get sat but extremely disappointed that this is my first time here and this is my first impression when I walked in the door. Green beer is always good tho ! Prob never coming back tho. read more

I've been going to Ale & Ivy since they opened. I go there for three reasons: great food (they are always improving their menu), great drinks (I've been all over the world and I've never had a better smoked old-fashioned - get the Mesquite smoked with an orange twist!), and one of their most experienced servers who has also been there since they opened: Karter. Karter makes you feel welcomed, she has great recommendations and friendly service. Whenever I come in, I ask to sit in her section. I brought a group of friends in to eat and all six of them commented on her professionalism and great energy. Ask for her! read more

Food was great Service was terrible The male manager sat at the corner of the bar n laughed with his servers the entire time. Ordered our drinks from 3 different servers Our drinks sat at the bar 3 different times Our server failed miserably as did the management I keep hearing how this place is going downhill n I am really beginning to believe it. Ownership needs to take action asap unless they like failing with a business. read more

Great place! I love their wings and their Caesar salad. All of their food is absolutely delicious, it's the perfect kind of food you need for a late night! Service is usually good, If you're sitting at the bar either way, it may be my new favorite spot read more

Probably my favorite "sports bar" in the North Houston/Spring/Woodlands area. Not a hole in the wall, but also not overly boujee. The ambiance and service are great. The food is delicious. I usually get the Fish N Chips, but everything is solid. Great place to watch a game. Family friendly. Outside covered seating. Can't go wrong. read more

Amazing crawfish, probably the best I've ever had. It also comes with corn and potatoes - options to add more. I went back twice in one week for it. Super fresh and flavorful. Drinks were great too. Service the first time was amazing, all the girls were great. The second time was okay; but definitely not as good. The vibes are also great, with a small outside patio for nice weather. Huge bar, lots of TVs for watching games. Everyone was happy read more

We went on a Saturday night, and the atmosphere was very nice! The music they were playing was good all the time, my compliments to the dj! Food wise they offer a lot of options, I had a lot of things to choose from and eventually I went with the wings. Those are some of the best wings I've ever had, hands down. The drinks were very spot on, and the service was top tier. Our server, even though she was busy was very attentive and checked up on us consistently. I will definitely return to this place as I enjoyed it! read more

Moved to the area a couple months ago and finally got a chance to check this spot out. The inside looks pretty nice and they have a few games in the back. We made it before happy hour ended so I got a house martini (lemon drop) and it tasted like sugar water w/ a splash of lemon. I exchanged it for an espresso martini and it was meh. Born that and my husband's kicking mule tasted like mocktails. For dinner we ordered the shrimp truffled penne pasta and smash fire burger. The pasta was good with the exception of how salty it was. My husband's burger was super slippery and his fries were salty as well. While we weren't super thrilled with the overall experience, we'd give their brunch a try read more

Came here on a Sunday for a bday party. I was excited to try this place out since it's relatively new. We had lots of drinks and decided to munch on some cheese sticks which were massive. They were definitely enough to share between 3 people. It wasn't a very busy evening, but it took forever to get drinks. We had to order the same drinks several times. My friends also told me later that they ordered 9 tequila shots which they were told were $17 each and were charged $250.00. I liked that this place has entertainment, but still undecided if I would come back. read more

I have to say the atmosphere and staff are amazing here. There's so much to do, basketball hoops, pool table, and even private karaoke room. We rented the karaoke room for Christmas fun and it was so much fun with everyone. So far everything food wise I've had here has been amazing. I've had the chicken to even the burger, which was very unique twist. We came out most recently for New Year's with it being a casino 1920s party and it was so much fun. They really need to know how to put on a themed event. read more

Food, drinks were amazing and our server Melina did a fantastic job! She was polite, fast, friendly and on top of things!

This may be a fun place for a drink and some games, but don't come here to eat. The food is disappointing and the service is even worse. The server was friendly, but inattentive, and would disappear for 10-15 minutes at a time. We never did get cutlery or napkins, and gave up waiting for her to come back to ask for some condiments for our food. It was at least 20 minutes after our food was dropped that she finally showed up again. Don't waste your hard-earned money here. read more

I love the ambiance here! Very chill yet fun vibe with good music. The food was also sooo good and clearly made to order. I loved the cheeseburger egg rolls, the bacon jam was a 10/10. It was really packed but the service was still good and the drinks were great and reasonably priced. I'd go back! read more

super attentive and personable. Always made sure we had full drinks. We will be back!

Went in for brunch based on their website menu. Interesting name for what essentially is Hooters. We waited a long time to get menus. They came one at a time for lunch, brunch, then cocktails. We ordered brunch and then 15 minutes later were told oh wait, we don't do brunch anymore on Saturday. I did get my espresso martini, but it was the color of iced tea...ugh. Won't be back. read more
