    They're not closed. Come on out and be strange.

    Reasonable prices and great knowledge. The bartender was able too fill us in with random facts about the beverages he served. The jukebox was playing a mix of music that ranged from retro 80s to something I can only describe as ...... electronica. Is that a word? Anyhow we went in to kill some time and because the place is called strange brew. And I wanted to place a painted rock there. I did. With a witch and her stew pot. Witty I thought. lol. If this place was located closer to my house it would be 'my bar' .

    Only a portion of the beer selection.

    Great bar with over 130 different beers. Live music shows usually on Friday and Saturday. The bar has new owners who have really amped up the liquor selection as well.

    The selection of beer was very awesome, and hearing Trey's future plans for the place make us excited to come back more often!

    Parking is limited to the street and I had to park down and around the corner. Short walk from the…read morerestaurant. 11:36 party of 1. I chose to sit at the bar. But table seating was available. After taking a couple minutes to decide. I chose the shrimp poboy. It was delivered at 12:05, with the tails on. Before I could eat, I had to pull them off. It was fantastic. So I guess I'll be okay. By 12:20 I was cashing out lunch for one $20. They issued a 20% discount for my military id.

    When in Shreveport on a Monday, your dining options are...limited (unless you fancy a casino…read moredinner, which we did not). So, we ended up here--the only place open that wasn't serving up blackjack with a side of fries. First up: water. Now, if you've never had Louisiana tap water, let me tell you--it tastes like someone steeped a bag of potting soil in it for 12 hours. I was about to blame this restaurant until a little Google dive informed me that most of Louisiana water just tastes like this due to geosmin and MIB (algae bloom byproducts, apparently). Fun fact that nobody asked for, but here we are. Anyway, we pivoted HARD to cocktails. I ordered a Belvedere martini, which was well-made by Dustin but oddly expensive considering this wasn't exactly a swanky downtown hotspot. For dinner: Hubbs went for shrimp fettuccine, and while it was fine, it didn't exactly make us want to write home about it. I, on the other hand, ordered Natchitoches meat pies, thinking they'd be the real deal imported from the famous place there. Oh, how naive I was. Instead, they were sad little impostors, baked instead of fried, and just...meh. Final bill: almost $100 for four drinks and two average entrées. If we're dropping that kinda cash, I'd prefer a meal that didn't require an emergency cocktail switch just to recover from the water.

    Oh, goodness. I…read morereally thought I had left a review for this place a long time ago, and am shocked to realize I haven't. Oh well. The review would have been a LOT better then, anyway. Let me preface my review with this: we (my boyfriend, our friends/co-workers) have been going to Ivan's for about two years now, on a..... let's say weekly basis. There are times we go multiple times in a week, and occasionally skip one or two. It probably evens out. I loved Ivan's. It's the quintessential dive bar-- which is to say, perfect. No one is there to hassle you, everyone seems to be a regular, there's a jukebox, and the drinks are dirt cheap. There aren't many places I go to here on the regular, but Ivan's is one. BUT. Not sure how often it's gonna be now. And I'm editing my earlier review to eliminate some details but the gist is this: one of the "newer" bartenders came in on her night off last week, and she and a female friend proceeded to get so hammered (possibly arrived drunk, which would explain the deterioration of their states) that they walked over to the table my friends and I were sitting at, and essentially pick a fight. It had started with the two girls leaving their own group to walk over in order to pointedly started putting things on our table, or elbowing a few of the guys with us "accidentally". The rest of us would exchange confused glances but carried on, because it seemed the girls were playing darts and too drunk to realize they were being kind of rude. But we assumed they were harmless. A friend at my table accidentally sloshed some of her drink onto one of the girls-- largely because the tabletop was small and crowded with not just the drinks of the people sitting at it, but also the cigarettes and drinks of the girls who had just wordlessly reached past us to set them on there, which was all they needed to explode in a torrent of expletives. They challenged my friend, then one of them started mocking my confused expression, and started trying to provoke a reaction from me (I really and truly believe the bartender's friend LOOKING for an all-out brawl); virtually ALL of us at the table, male and female alike, were called "the b-word", and they started screaming that our table was THEIR table (newsflash: this is not Central Perk), at which point the bouncer yelled at them and dragged them away, then assured us he knew the girls were in the wrong, not us. That's it in a nutshell: There is someone that works there, and on her night off, comes in and gets so hammered that she tries to pick a fight with an entire table of people for zero reason. Like, this is someone who comes in with her friends to her place of work, and then proceeds to be incredibly rude and abusive towards existing customers. Never mind how bad that looks for the bar itself, and the owner (who by all accounts seems like a nice guy), let's consider how staggeringly horrible it makes HER look. It goes beyond unprofessional. She--and her hotheaded friend-- looked like complete imbeciles... though it's been hilarious to make fun of them since. I think I have a new catchphrase, ("What's with your face? It's f----ing STUPID.") and for that I will be forever grateful. I mean, I still like the bar and had NEVER had a problem with the patrons before. But if I were anywhere and a psycho barfly accosted me, I wouldn't really want to go BACK. I'm not a child. I don't have the time nor the patience to put up with children. So it's especially off-putting to me that one of my favorite and preferred bars in town has someone in its employ that acts like such a fool. So it's worth noting; someone who acts like that has probably acted like that before, and will continue to do so, and who's to say it won't happen while she's behind the bar? Blegh.

    Looks shady and gangsta on the outside, but it's quaint and very low key.read more
