Ivory Lounge

Needs less latino music, more dance music! Otherwise good drinks, very fun. Have been on two separate occasions and had fun

Fun spot to dance and have drinks. Really clean and comfortable. Everyone was really friendly and the place was beautiful!

My boyfriend and I went there last night. I wouldn't recommend it. We were the first people there, arriving at 6:00 or so. Nobody greeted us when we arrived, so we sat down. No one came over to take our order and we didn't see anything about the happy hour specials we had heard about. Finally I went to the bar where the female bartender was busy chatting with a male employee (manager?). I asked her for a happy hour menu. She quickly named off a short list of specials. There wasn't a printed happy hour menu.

Despite this, we ordered our drinks and tried to keep an open mind. (We had three drinks each and there was barely a dribble of alcohol in any of the drinks.) At one point, I went to the front because I saw a sign-up box for a giveaway. Nowhere did it say what the prize was, so I started chatting with another patron who was signing up also. We laughed because neither one of us knew what the prize was. Then a woman who had overheard our conversation came over and said it was for CD's and movie tickets. She told me she was going to enter last so her entry would be on top and she would be more likely to win. We laughed. Then she introduced herself as the hostess! I couldn't believe there was even a hostess because no one had greeted us or anyone else. Also, the fact that the hostess was trying to outsmart the patrons to win the prize seemed at the very least to be a conflict of interest.

I had invited ten friends to join us later, and at that point I texted them and told them not to come. We went to Silo instead.

Bottom line: Very disappointing. Awful staff. Weak drinks. We won't be back.

I chose to have a private party here for my twins 15th birthday. We had the party last Sunday and it was a huge success! I've never dealt with such nice people as the managers and owner! Everyone was very attentive and very helpful. I highly recommend having your party here whether it's private or during business hours. We had such a good time! Thank you so much Ivory Lounge for making my twins birthday the best one yet. I can't wait for my next event! I'll def come back ��������

.. Please watch out they will keep your deposit and make up lies about stuff that is damaged and not show proof and say it's been fixed already when you want to go by next day to see due to you clearly know there was nothing there .. We had a private baby shower And we made sure that the place was clean make sure you take pictures after your private party so you can get your deposit back or even ask for a walk through before you take off to insure that you get your deposit back they are SHADY ... Also they say no colored napkins on contract it says no where that you can't have printed napkins they need to change it to say only white napkins allowed just like you can only have scotch tape .. Be careful if you book here they will try every way to say you are lying when all your asking for is proof and you are ok with paying the fees if there indeed was damage

Where to start....

My girlfriend and I decided at the last minute that we would throw a birthday party for myself. I'd been to the Ivory Lounge before and remembered that it didn't get crowded which was fine for me because there would just be friends and family coming. I called to make a reservation for VIP on Friday (1/30/15) for Saturday (1/31). I spoke to a girl named Lindsey who asked me a series of questions...how many people in my party, what kind of music do we enjoy and then she asked me for my name. I told her it's "Terrik M". She asked me to hold and came back 10 seconds later to tell me they were booked up for the next 4 weeks. I had just spent 3 minutes talking to Lindsey the VIP MANAGER but she didn't know they were booked for the next month until she got my somewhat ethnic sounding name. I asked if she could take my number to give me a call if there was a cancellation. ***She told me there was already a waiting list and that I wouldn't be able to get on.***

I hung up with Lindsey and called my girlfriend. My conversation with the VIP Manager, Lindsey, felt sketchy so I told my girlfriend to call. Two minutes later she called to let me know that Lindsey booked her. Yeah



And it gets worse.

Lindsey told my girlfriend that the FIRST bottle is sold at $100 and each additional bottle is $75 (per their website). When we get to Ivory Lounge they pointed my girlfriend to her area...yes pointed, no escort. We sit down and after 10 minutes our VIP waitress shows up. She wishes my girlfriend a happy birthday and thanks her for choosing Ivory Lounge to celebrate. My girlfriend informed the waitress that it was actually my birthday and proceeds to tell her what happened the day before. She apologized but denied knowing anything. Everyone was upset about the perceived racism that Ivory Lounge had displayed but we agreed that nothing would be said until we were leaving...so much for that plan. When the waitress comes back she tells us that bottles are NOT $75 but instead are $165. In an attempt to clarify the price on the bottles, I ask to speak to the manager. Once we get it straight that the price on their website isn't the actual price of the bottles the manager proceeds to explain, or attempt to explain, why my girlfriend was able to get a reservation and why I wasn't. A cancellation. Really??? See all those stars in the first paragraph? What happened to the list? I told the manager that I really didn't care about that and I just wanted to enjoy my evening without someone screwing it up. He then said (no lie) "But you just accused us of being racist and I don't appreciate that". My reply, "just let me enjoy my night". Right after, he had security remove me from the premises. They wouldn't let me get my girlfriend or any of the other guests that were present. They threatened me with arrest for trespassing (I'm a lawyer, by the way). We left and took our party down the street where our money was appreciated.



The staff was rude. And liars. Instead of trying to make me believe that Friday was an anomaly, they just reinforced that they may, in fact be racist.

Not sure about the bottle prices...they may actually be $75 for non-Blacks. lol jk

But seriously, we were told $75 on the phone but quoted $165 in the club. You figure it out. I'll never go back nor would I recommend Ivory Lounge for any upwardly mobile, progressive thinking person. People go to clubs to get away from the exact things you'll run into at the Ivory Lounge.

We had our wedding reception at Ivory Lounge in San Antonio and it was beautiful. It was really cheap too, only $100 an hour and it included everything we needed. They also had someone there to help out with stuff as we needed it. All of my guests were so impressed. My sister loved it so much she is having her baby shower there next month.

Had a really good time at this place. It was very clean and the service was out of this world. Everything was very inexpensive. The dj played really great music and it was packed. I like how the crowd was really great, which is hard to find in SA. Definitely check this place out.

Beautiful nightclub, the decor is unlike anywhere in San Antonio. As we arrived the door guy was turning away some people who werent dressed right which was reassuring. We arrived around 10 and quickly realized it is a late crowd. So if you are an early bird like us, just hang out and wait because it will get crowded around 11:30. The cocktails were really good too, very inexpensive. We had about 8 drinks all premium (Greygoose-Shiner-Crown-Shots of Patron) and the tab with tax was about only $25. A lot of the tables were reserved for VIP Bottle Service which looked super cool because the bottles were delivered with a sparkler. We had so much fun that we are going to have my friends birthday party there next month.

Had my birthday party at Ivory last Saturday. The music was amazing, the crowd was very nice and the drinks were cheap. We only paid $75 for a VIP and it included a bottle of Goose, mixers, and everything we needed. Awesome deal. It was a little tucked away from the street and hidden, but well worth the find!
