Hello, I wanted to share feedback about my recent experience. There was an employee wearing a plaid shirt with bangs who was very rude during my visit. A customer accidentally broke a drink, but the employee immediately cut them off from service without any apparent justification. The way the situation was handled came across as unprofessional and unnecessarily confrontational. I believe this employee's attitude and approach to customer service need to be addressed. Based on this experience, I do not plan to return. Thank you for your time. read more

This one's a mixed bag--some highs, some serious lows. We walked in and the greater gave us a warm "sit wherever you want." Cool, right? Except... as soon as we sat, she asked us to move. Sooo, not anywhere we want . Awkward start. Our server was polite and genuinely apologetic when things dragged longer than expected. Points there. Now, the food: Beef stew - Ordered it thinking meal. What arrived looked more like a sample cup. For $13, I counted literally two bite-sized chunks of meat. Flavor? Awesome. Value? Yikes. Wish I'd snapped a pic because it was shockingly skimpy. Guinness fish fry - different story. Nice fillets, cooked almost to perfection, and the taste lived up to my expectations . This was the win of the night. The pub itself? Gorgeous. Love the Racine history around the place--it's why we've come back more than once. But man, that stew was a letdown, and overall we left feeling kind of... meh. read more

Fun and great bartenders, the best pineapple upside down martini in the world by far. It was tasty art in a glass 10 out of 10. Next time we're coming for the food. read more

This was a Lovely little pub. Nice staff and drinks! The food was good too. Would return in the future.

The food was very good and the beer was very cold. We had buffalo wings, blackened Caesar salad, and the sirloin tip sandwich. Service could have been a little better. No problem getting drinks but the food took a long time. Prices were very reasonable. I'd definitely go back. We hear the fish fry is really good read more

I was looking for a good Rueben sandwich and Ivanhoe Pub nailed it. The sandwich was so big I couldn't only eat half. The fries were seasoned perfectly and the pickle was delicious. I will definitely be going back. read more

Aye, tis a classic Irish pub. If ye be wantin' more, well this be not the place for ye! Seriously, though. I stopped by as I was in town for a conference. It was mid-week and not very much going on. As soon as I walked in the door, I knew I was in the right place. It was going to be difficult not to come back again as this was the first night in town, and I had another dinner coming. Yes, it was that good right when I walked in the door. The atmosphere and décor was great. They had the big TVs with sports if that's your thing. They had a nice row of taps with some quality beer. I tried a few and enjoyed most of them. I sat at the bar, as there was just me. I was early, so there were few people in the place. Quick and quality service for me! I had some fish and chips followed up with a quality cheesecake. Good place. If you're in town and need your Irish food and pub fix, this is the place to go! read more

Quite disappointed with the food. Our server was a sweet girl but the food came out cold. First the soup and then the meal. Probably won't return. read more

Amazing food, service and drink!! Fried cheese curds were the best we'd ever had and the variety of drinks on the tap and off were great. Yummy poutine, and amazing meatloaf with Mac-n-cheese and awesome fish and chips. Everything was so delicious and the staff was amazing. Even gave me a few extra samples so I could find my favorite sour. You won't be sad about trying this great Irish Pub!! read more

Plenty of TVs, easy walk from Doubletree or anywhere near downtown. Solid beer selection and staff was cool. Plenty of TVs and seating options from bars, tables, and booths. The meatloaf was wild. It's awesome meatloaf with the Wisconsin spin off melted cheese curds, bacon, and Mac and cheese. If you order it, you won't be hungry afterwards. read more

Loved this place! We were greeted right away! Sat at the bar, ordered appetizers & beer. Bartender was friendly, let us taste the beers on tap to find the ones we liked. Appetizers came out quick, were delicious & fancier than most "bar food". Old style bar with vintage decor, cozy feel & good food! read more

Great turkey Rueben and Irish stew. We enjoyed everything! Good drinks as well with reasonable prices. Nicely done Irish bar interior.

This is the perfect pub/restaurant to enjoy a cool drink and great food! Great atmosphere, Jerry the bartender is awesome, large menu, TVs, pool table, darts etc! If we didn't live so far away we would come here a lot!! read more

I enjoy coming here for occasional martinis with some friends. My favorites are the Dirty Martini (Extra Dirty) and the Naughty Girl Scout. Geeeeez these are not good names...haha The waiter was very friendly, funny, and attentive. The drinks are good, decor is nice and the customers were friendly. I do enjoy the downtown area and the location is great for bar hopping. read more

My husband and I are big supporters of local Racine businesses. We have visited Ivanhoe numerous time, also ordering fish fries to. During the beginning of the pandemic which is why the unfortunate experience leaves me baffled. This is a second time of a bad meal. I should have known better to order a Reuben a second time when the first time was unpleasant and to be returned. This time when the sandwich was served, and after taking a first bite I immediately could tell it was BURNT black. The burnt side of the sandwich was flipped so it wouldn't be seen initially by me or the server. Seriously?! I was starving, did mention it to the server but it was inedible and just ate the tots and pickle. To accommodate, the server deducted 15% which was very disappointing. I was saved a whopping $1.56. Sorry, Ivanhoe but I won't step a foot back here. Two stars only because the beer is great. read more

This is an Irish Pub, with an English name, and Scottish Kilts. Yet it all comes together harmoniously with a hipster vibe. I stopped in here recently, and really enjoyed my visit. It was an off-time and there was a small but friendly crowed. Doug (the owner) swooped in, chatted-it-up, bought the bar a round, then took off again. Thanks Doug! On to the food.... I had a 1/2 slab of ribs, with au gratin potatoes, a side salad, and cole slaw. The ribs were excellent! The meat was falling off the bones and slathered in delicious sauce. The au gratin potatoes were some of the best I've ever had. The side salad was very fresh. My one complaint: the side salad came on a tiny plate. This made it difficult to eat without making a mess. On second thought - maybe I'm just a slob. Needless to say this complaint won't impact my rating. Service was top notch. If you haven't tried Ivanhoe Pub and Eatery - YOU SHOULD!! Doug, I can't wait till you open your next venture (The Main Hub) it sounds awesome! read more

WARNING THIS PLACE PAYS FOR GOOGLE REVIEWS!!!! This slop is what I recieved as shepards pie had one piece of meat in the whole dish. The website is completely wrong pricing is wrong and descriptions of food is wrong and the supposed General manager said it was my fault that their menu is not up to date and they were not going to fix my order... the second picture is their wonderful steak torneado the bread is supposedly a garlic pasty puff when it really is just their regular bread they serve with every meal. The supposed manager was extremely ride to me all because I had ONE other complaint like 5 months ago about a 5 dollar item. These two dyshes cost me almost 100 bucks with two average salads who wants to pay 100 bucks for this??? The proof is in the pictures this place is a major rip off if your looking for decentralizimit food and service please look elsewhere. read more

Side of Tarter Tots (alone) for $3.50 + tax I would have no issue with the cost if the quantity was appropriate but it was not. Very disappointing. UPDATE: the oil the tots were fried in tasted nasty and old which made the tots taste burnt. Very bummed. read more

Portions were very small, party of 4 and the food came out all at different times. They said the piolet light was out on the oven and they didn't know. Honestly the portion sizes were like appetizers. Would not recommend read more

Owner makes his drinks like he never Bartended in his life. Who puts a old fashioned in a shaker? Someone who wants to water it down. I have never seen that in my 40 years of bartending. And the Bloody Mary's are terrible. Overpriced, dark, dank, cave. It is a clique. Be aware. read more

Ivanhoe Pub & Eatery really offers character and atmosphere! I stopped in one night and was really surprised at all the stuff to look at! The walls are covered. The room is large and dark, with a lot of bar seating and many tables. We ordered a few beers to start the night off. They arrived ice cold by a huge smiling guy in a kilt. Nothing better than a beer so cold it stings on that first long swallow with a bit of character. When we said we were only having drinks and no dinner he was totally cool with it. I felt bad because I know a lot of people were dining too. Although we did not partake in a meal, I watched the food being served to the tables near me. Everything was huge and looked delicious. I heard several people discussing how much they loved their food. I am going to return very soon the hang in this casual, kitchy place for dinner. I may even play pool since there is a table right there in the dining room! There is street and parking garage parking nearby. read more

I witnessed how the owners/managers (?) treated a homeless gentleman who was outside their restaurant and it was shameful. The treated him worse than a stray dog, stating that "If I feed him he comes back," "Did you feed him? It's illegal to bring food from another's restaurant into an establishment! These are my tables!" Bring him across the street!" read more

I've been wanting to go here for some time and I finally made it and brought some friends!! We got seating right away and were asked immediately if we wanted something to drink. (off to a good start) As soon as our drinks came we got asked if we were ready to start with an appetizer; we were talking the whole time so we didn't have a chance to really look at the menu so our waitress suggested the Nachos or the Cheese Curds...and well...lets be honest who would say no to those!! Our appetizers came out and everything looked fantastic! I absolutely needed to try their Reuben and it was exactly what I was hoping for- Amazing; my friend tried the Black & Blue burger and had it topped with a fried egg--delicious! We did not leave disappointed; thanks Ivanhoe for such great food and service!! Two thumbs up! read more

Worst Bloody Mary ever!!! Tasted like Clamato and vodka, No Garlic, no pepper, no Worcestershire, no celery salt, no spice, nothing! Yuck!! I ordered the WhiskeyBBQ Burger, can you say Sweet Baby Rays, nothing special for sure!!! Disappointed to say the least. It has been a while and my memory was much better than today's reality. I will not get into the drunk and obnoxious bartender. All in all, Paula and I will not be going back anytime soon. Disappointing for a landmark like this. read more

Ivanhoe was the last place we ate at on a weeklong vacation, I wish it was the first so that we could have had it multiple times. The meatloaf was so fantastic that even after I was beyond full I kept eating. In the Irish curry poutine was outstanding! read more

Excellent food and atmosphere our go to spot for lunch and dinner at least once a month if not more l, we enjoy it every time we go.

As bars go this place has everything- a great staff, a huge back bar, tons of taps & craft bottles. For a hangout? It's just never been my vibe. But it is a hell of a bar, just not my scene... That said: when it's restaurant time, this place really delivers. I've tried a good 2/3 of their menu, and all the apps, and never have I had a single bite of bad food! Never! Some highlights are the ahi tacos, the shrimp balsamic toast points, and the shepherds pie, but honestly everything is not just good, but between flavor and presentation, it's almost special. Speaking of special, the menu constantly rotates a bit, seasonally, as does the beer menu. What doesn't change is the secret "Ivanhoe Jamison sauce" - put it on anything !! It's so damn good! read more

My girlfriend suggested we visit this place for a bite to eat and a brew... I'm so glad we went!! I love Irish pubs, and this one definitely tickled my fancy! The only reason I'm not giving it the ultimate 5-star review is because of our waiter- he was close to the end of his shift and clearly ready to leave. By the end of our visit, he left and we got a happy helpful waitress. No excuse for the waiter, though. The beer list is great so I tried a couple different brews. I had the lambeau stew to start- it was sooo yummy!!!!!!!! Cheese soup with brats and veggies- helloo?! YUM!! Get it now!! I also ordered the chicken fingers, those were really good too. A bit heavy on the breading, but I appreciated they were made in house. The rest of the menu was great with a large variety too! Ivanhoe's atmosphere is really cool- it has that dark, aged Irish pub feel with a nice decor. I would absolutely come back, especially on a Friday night to check out the night scene. read more

Wanted to try a downtown restaurant with my wife. Ivanhoe sounded fun since we wanted to try something different. We went in for lunch at around 12:30 on a Wednesday, it was almost empty. The staff was very friendly though. The place was clean and the atmosphere was very cozy. I had a water and coffee and my wife ordered some kind of alcoholic coffee beverage that looked and tasted good. I ordered the bangers and mash and my wife had mahi tacos with no lettuce. The dishes came with soup. She had the Lambeau (beer cheese and brat) and I had the soup of the day which was turkey pot pie. The soups were fantastic, mine even came with homemade crackers. When the food came it was prepared well and looked appealing. Overall it was an enjoyable experience and we will come back. read more

Hubby and I went to check it out and we were very disappointed. Took a while to get our beverages at the bar. There were 2 very obnoxious women at the bar and they were heard throughout the restaurant. We finally got our drinks and we asked for menus. We were never asked if we wished to order anything. The bartenders were both talking to the women and not catering to anyone else. We asked for our bill and were still never asked it we wanted any food or anything else. The 2 women made it impossible to even enjoy ourselves. There were only 6 of us in the bar. No control over patrons. You could tell we were all uncomfortable. read more

I've been going here for a few years. When drinking whiskey they do an ok job. Two Reubens in the past 2 weeks has made this a no go for food anymore. The second time I called and and the lady analogies the sandwich was crap. I'll just avoid the crap and apology going forward now. read more

What a full Green Bay Packers experience I got, visiting here during a Packers game! My first choice of going to Yardarm was foiled since it was closed during the hours it was supposed to be open on a Sunday, so I suggested coming here instead and my family did. Holy crap though at the fact they literally give you free shots, during each time the Packers get a touchdown! My shock of getting the full Packers experience aside as a Bears fan(never mind I know how much they suck, and that they're very low on the Chicago sports totem pole), the staff and food here was great. I got a burger that was awesome, and their beer menu had enough microbrewed beer selections for my taste. So glad it wasn't dominated by macros. The rest of the food my family got was good, and our server was decent as well. I'd gladly recommend Ivanhoe if you visit Racine, even if you come from south of the border on a Sunday(or another day the Packers play) as a Bears fan, and feel the shock of the Packer experience(and even free shots, WOW!) during games here. Finally don't worry Bears fans, our server actually respected our decision to decline the later shots after the first time we all tried them out. Cheers to her for doing that. read more

I have not been to a bar and eatery in a long time that deserved a 10/10. Let's start with the service: Jerry is outstanding- Was funny, and engaging. He made great suggestions- payed attention to our needs. Started with the Lambeau stew - Smooth and rich cheese sauce- heaven in a bowl. Meatloaf was full of flavor and served on a delicious bed of mashed potatoes with brown gravy. The medallions of beef were seasoned perfectly and seared to perfection. The addition of the puff pastry was excellent addition of a starch. The meal and service is a must stop when visiting this area of Wisconsin. read more

Really bad service. Food was cold and stale. Offered free drinks but its hard for me to want to come back. Might try though
