Food is great but the staff cares more about their social media than their service to their customers. Spent my meal watching all of the employees taking pictures of each other, asking customers to move out of their frame, instead of refilling the tables drinks and clearing plates. read more

Nice place but service was mediocre and food selection not great. I would go back if someone invited me .

We come here pretty regularly, love the vibe. & recently had Natalia as our server & she was a great waitress! Hope to have her next time. (: read more

Great sports bar! Lots of screens and good food. There are games including pool and darts and an outside bar and seating area where I could smoke my cigar. The service is on the edge. It's hit or miss depending on the day and person you're dealing with. It's worth a try.... read more

Sitting here now on a Saturday afternoon to drink a couple of beers, eat some wings and watch some college football. For the first hour, everything was great. Attentive service, cold beer, and decent wings with several games to choose from. Suddenly, the large screen TV and all of the audio changes to the "pre-game" for a boxing or MMA match (not sure which - Fury vs Ngannou for those that care) that is taking place somewhere in the Middle East. Few if any of the patrons seem interested in this option. First the talking heads for the match, then some song and dance, all of which is too loud to be completely ignored. Time to close out and fine a Texas-oriented sports bar. Too bad - everything was fine until this came on... read more

I was really impressed. The deviled eggs were my favorite. I could have eaten that bacon jam on everything!!!! The meatloaf was also amazing. The chicken was good, and so was the hamburger. The strawberry cheesecake martini is a must try! read more

Opening weekends are fun, aren't they? Went with my 70 yo mother who wanted "a burger and a beer" and my wife. The menu was limited (see photo) and somehow didn't include burgers. Totally get opening with a limited menu, but how did hangar steak and meatloaf make the cut over chicken strips and burgers. Seems like a strange management/kitchen decision. The beer was cold and fresh. We got the right beers 5 out of 6 times which is honestly pretty good for an opening weekend. As we couldn't get a burger, we shared a bunch of appys - Mozz stack - this was the ill fated child of a caprese salad and mozzarella sticks. Four solidly sized fried provolone sized at 3/4" square plus two pieces of young-aged prosciutto, arugula, balsamic glaze and a southern-sweet marinara. You shouldn't mix balsamic glaze with marinara. That doesn't work. Decide how you want to simplify this dish. Either drop the red sauce and make the glaze more substantial or drop the glaze and arugula and work the prosciutto in amongst the mozz sticks. Wings (KBBQ) - I'm not a fan of breaded wings, but these were super tasty. House-made ranch made my wife happy. Buffalo Fries - Halve the seasoning. I love salt. I do. But you didn't need to create a deer salt lick out of the dish. The buffalo sauce was equally buttery and flavorful that you don't need to punch it to 11 on the salt. Cheeseburger egg roll - this needed some refinement. Where the fries needed less seasoning, this needed more. Also, the beef needed to be better broken up. Big fat chunks of unseasoned ground beef and the cheese didn't get into it at all. Also, a little caramelized onion and a smidge of red pepper would have gone a long way. Bacon jam and habby mustard were good sauces - but would have landed better on a more developed base. Music was late-80s-early-00's rock/pop. I know I'm getting old when I'm the target market but it was a lot of fun. It was loud enough that it was a good lively time but not so loud that I couldn't hear my table talking. We all appreciated that. Opening weekends are always super fun. You never know what you're going to get. Can't wait to see this place find its footing and rock out come football season. The had corn hole and a basketball machine and a gold game and a beer pong thing.. good times to be had. read more

Tried out a few things on the menu. Very fresh, a little different than your typical bar food and the drinks were fun. I would like to go back and check out there version of the Bloody Mary. It's $18 so be ready for a meal on a stick and a spicy drink for a weekend brunch! The service was pretty good. Plenty of wait staff and eagerness to provide what you needed. Although, due to the sports bar being so new, not a lot of experience regarding the drink or food menu. (Might want to add a little more time for training). Great location and easy to get to. New and upscale with a great patio, pool tables and games to keep a group entertained. Great concept! I hope it succeeds!! read more

I like this place, but lately every time I go there is a very odd smell. The smell is off putting but I can't quite put my finger on it! I've brought multiple friends here to make sure it wasn't just me-it isn't. There is a definite smell! The corn dip is great and the service is hit or miss! Definitely a cool vibe inside. read more

Tyler is the goat!! Service is great and fast even with a packed bar , props to the dj as well For great music choice hard to find a spot that plays good music !! read more

We reserved the karaoke room and it was soooooo much fun. Service was also amazing & food and drinks delicious! read more

Ale & Ivy - Sports Bars Near Me - Spring, Texas

Really disappointed in this company. I used to love coming here for the good wings. I visited a week ago and my sun glasses were stolen. (Very likely by an employee) I've called day in and day out for footage and they avoided me the first few days. Finally got ahold of the owner and they told me the video footage "only catches big stuff". God forbid someone gets over servers or drugged, they wouldn't be able to catch it on camera! Horrible horrible experience. read more

I actually like the place. Can be a good atmosphere and good to watch the fights. But the service is up there with the worst sometimes. The bar staff do more talking than serving and they don't scan the bar like most places to see who is waiting. I waited 23minutes tonight and last weekend 18mins - I think that's a bit for a drink. read more

Good food, good service, good drinks. Can't complain about much! Only thing I didn't like was we sat outside and they allowed smoking out there. Wish we were told that before we were sat there. read more

Ale & Ivy is an absolute gem! The food, service and atmosphere are all amazing! Kirsten, our bartender was phenomenal. She was very attentive and hospitable. I cannot wait to go back and enjoy the karaoke booths. read more

Very loud!!! Could not even talk to my husband. Had a blueberry mojito...,it was bitter.... then tried

Such a cool vibe without having to go downtown! Great food and drinks. It's also pretty big with all kinds of seating. This is a favorite spot. read more

Great music and ambience. Security is tight. Always great service! Fun place . Bathroom is always clean

Great venue!!! Cozy, warm, welcoming vibe!! Great views (screens)! Good food & drinks!

Went here last night with the wife for the first time. Food was good and drinks were as well. I recommend the Old Fashioned Mesquite smoked for sure. Customer service was on point and had no issues there. Now I will say I have seen comments about the music. It is pretty loud for a social atmosphere. We went for dinner and sat in the booths and had no problem hearing or speaking to each other or our waitress but I can see it being a little bit of a problem if more around the games and bar area itself. Overall good place and will be back again. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food is fantastic and the service has been great. Highly recommend. read more

Ale & Ivy - Sports Bars Near Me - Spring, Texas

Food was good! Service was horrible. Hosted a table for 6/7. Never got refill on any waters from our group. Server never introduced herself and basically became a NPC. I guess my waitress only felt like delivering one entree at a time before actually taking more orders. After that, she completely left us in the dust. Another person had to hand us our food. After we finished, we waited ~30 minutes before just deciding to hop out, and I try to ask the hostess to pay for the food (since it looks like they have a register at the front?) and I'm told my missing server has the bill. The host didn't even know who served my table even though we were right by the entrance, and asked me how to describe how she looked. NOBODY HAS NAMES AT THE RESTAURANT. The worst part IMO is that none of their staff smiled. What the F is the point of going to a social/sports bar or restaurant if it just felt like a bummy pub. read more

Poor service!! Amazing food!! Management corrected the issue but the waitress we had does not need to work here she considered it a twin peaks!! VERY uncomfortable!! This place is beautiful! Sad they hire women behaving like that here!! read more

Stopped in today for lunch, after noticing Ale & Ivy while shopping. We were seated quickly, but it took several minutes for a server to come to our table. Besides the initial wait, service was excellent. Our server was Lenny (spell check) and she was very kind, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. We tried crab egg rolls, a meatball sub, and the BLT. The food was great and the tequila mockingbird was also great. We will be back to try other menu items. read more

4 stars because it is a great place but the food is awesome! 5 would have been even better service but I do understand how it can be during a college ballgame and a playoff game but still some things could have been done to help the whole visit. Either way, I do recommend and I am coming back soon! read more

Taylor was such a good server !! So attentive and quick . I'll come back just for her

Great atmosphere, great food. And the owners Nelson & Kelani are great guys. Will definitely be back read more

Tried here being new to the area. Wow! Food is fantastic, servers are great, vibe is on point! Great atmosphere, staff is accommodating and kind, and prices are very reasonable! This might me out new hang out place!! read more

Was very excited to try this place, went on a Friday around 5pm. The hostess didn't seem too friendly but that's ok, we were seated and the place had potential for a good vibe however our waitress was a little rude and didn't care for any pleasantries at all. We ordered the crab egg rolls and they were fishy and horrible. The burger was just meat on a bun, nothing to dress it besides jalapeños. Severely lacking any type of seasoning, no lettuce, tomatoes, sauce, nothing. However, the nacho fries were excellent. Maybe this isn't the place for food nor service. I really hope the "night life" is better. Again, has so much potential but severely lacking in major departments. read more

Food wasn't really great to me but this seems like a nice sports bar hang out spot to enjoy drinks .

The service was good, has a good vibe and the ambiance is very nice. Friday night DJ poppin

Great place. Good drinks for sure. Food is good but I find that I don't have allot of options I like maybe 3 or 4 different things. Good hangout spot and good for UFC and sporting events. They have a Karaoke room so just know that you will need to come with a group to do Karaoke read more

Loved the meatball sub, and smoked old fashion, great atmosphere and polite staff. 10/10 recommend

This place has everything! We rented out the karaoke room for my birthday and loved it. The service is great along with the food and drinks. I'll be going back soon! read more

Atmosphere is good but the food could be better. I've tried several different items on the menu and was disappointed in the lack of flavor and freshness. Tastes just like bar food. They should also learn how to make a classic Maitai. Seems like they need to learn drink items not on their menu read more

I want to say this is a very nice bar and atmosphere but the service was really bad on a Thursday. 1 server and 1 bartender which messed up the mood because all The staff was in a bad mood ! Jas was the server and was confusing herself and over charging our party . Need to be more staffed or more organized read more

This place should just a bar, period. The place and the concept is really nice, the food wasn't. I ordered the crab eggrolls and all the meats pizza. It was not good at all, the pizza tasted like it was frozen and they threw on extra cheese. The crab eggrolls were just weird, it was just a mush. Eewww. Now we went on "Halloween night" so I expected the service to not be exceptional because it was a busy night, and it was, but the waitress could've given us a few fake smiles when attending to us. Didn't catch the name but she looked like she would rather have been some place else. Definitely a place for the younger crowd, don't expect to be wowed when it comes to the eats, but everything else about the place was nice. read more

I came in on a Friday night for a drink and a quick meal. I sat down at the bar and the bartenders ignored me for 7mins. It was giving very RACIST behavior!!! I had been sitting at the bar for almost 10mins and the establishment was not pack or busy. The bartenders walked past me several times going back and forth to their phone texting. A gentleman (caucasian male) sat down next me and both bartenders quickly went to him and asked what he would like to drink. I should of asked for the bartenders names but I left and would never step foot in this establishment again. read more

Great atmosphere for football or sports in general. The environment has a good noise level and the sweet & spicy wings were a 10/10. We will be frequenting this establishment moving forward! read more
