Ivy Room — know before you go
Is Ivy Room wheelchair accessible (ADA access)?+
Per the venue's FAQ, the entrance, restroom, and the music and bar areas are all ADA compliant. The venue recommends emailing info@ivyroom.com in advance to request accessible seating or a reserved area. (This is self-reported by the venue; third-party verification wasn't found, so confirm specific needs directly.)
Does Ivy Room have seating, or is it standing room?+
Primarily a standing-room venue with very limited first-come seating — a few plush booths and bar stools. It's not a seated-show room, so arrive early if you want to sit.
Is Ivy Room all ages?+
21 and over only, no exceptions. Valid government photo ID required to enter.
What time do shows start and end at Ivy Room?+
The venue typically opens about an hour before showtime, and bands usually start ~45 minutes after the listed doors time. Weeknight shows typically end by midnight; weekend shows typically end before 1am. Exact times vary by event.
Can I avoid ticket fees at the Ivy Room box office?+
Tickets sell online via the venue website (cards; online service fees apply, handled through VenuePilot) and at the door. Fee-free tickets can be bought at the bar at doors, same day, but door sales are cash only. All sales are final except for cancelled shows.
What are the bar, drink, and re-entry policies at Ivy Room?+
A full bar with bar snacks; outside food is permitted, and there's an ATM by the front door. No stated re-entry policy was found — confirm at the door.
