Best bar in Newtownards by Miles! Staff always make you feel at home, reasonable drink prices and great craic!

Me gusta venir aquí con mi mejor amigo. Antes de irme a la uni, Él me trajo aquí para unos tragos y un juego de billar. Me encanta cómo la mesa de billar está en una habitación separada, lejos del bar principal. La jukebox es un bonito detalle. Hay un sentimiento de "comunidad" en el bar ya que es la misma gente que lo más probable es que encuentre. Es bueno que la hiedra ofrece diferentes actividades tales como el club de la guitarra y el club de la cámara que permite a los miembros para aventurarte fuera del pub en el mundo! Marty es siempre muy amable y buscando un chat!

Si te gusta llena bares tosco, este es el lugar para ti, utilizado por la mayoría como un punto de saltar o para bebedores en serio, pero me quedé agradablemente sorprendido por el asador el domingo. Normalmente tienen música en vivo tocando en el fin de semana.

Eating area a bit noisy & not condusive to enjoying a meal Steak ordered medium came well done & pepper sauce was very watery, but tasty. On the plus side they serve locally brewed ales that are very tasty

Lovely wee spot. Must try the food next time. Staff very friendly and attentive. Unusual shape adds to the place.

Such a nice little pub. An amazing friendly atmosphere. I was made to feel very welcome. This is your typical "local". Thursday nights (and the odd Sunday) seem to hold guitar / sing nights. The craic is great!

We had a brilliant evening in the back room for a family gathering. Marty and the staff were outstanding. Definitely one of the spots to get a local experience.

Fantastic staff.food fabulous and can't beat it for music. Always a friendly atmosphere. Great range of drinks

The bar itself is a bit of a strange shape, as if it was built into a cave or something. The staff however are pleasant and the private room we had booked was adequate. The drinks, however, are very pricy.

The ivy is a rock set bar. Lots of suport for music acts. From blues to metal accoustic to electric folk metal.metal metal death metal.rock music.

Great food at very reasonable prices, staff are welcoming and friendly
