Ivy Bar and Grill

This Midtown West watering hole offers a full menu of bar food favorites and upgraded craft cocktails. Bartenders infuse spirits like blood orange and lavender gin, pineapple vodka and orange-jalapeno tequila in house and put them to good use in drinks like the Spicy Cucumber Margarita and Ivy Martini, which adds Triple Sec, fresh lime juice and a splash of cranberry to the pineapple vodka (both $13). Prefer beer or wine? The bar also has plenty of beers on draft and wines by the glass and bottle. Hungry patrons will find plenty of tempting options on the food menu. Appetizers like chicken lettuce wraps ($16), grilled flatbread with prosciutto, brie, pesto and arugula ($14) and piping hot kale and artichoke dip ($13) will get you started. Move on to lobster and grilled corn tacos ($17), barbecue pulled pork sliders ($13) or a burger topped with onion rings, applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and blue cheese dressing ($18).
