Ivy Inn

It's pretty much the most affordable bar in Princeton. The parking situation is confusing, I don't know if I'm getting towed in the back lot. Beers are always good and I've never had an issue being served even when it's packed inside and out.

Love this place! I’m so glad my hubby and I found it! One night we had a babysitter (which is rare) with nothing to do, so we googled different bars and this was one of them that popped up! We’re so happy that we gave it a chance! Chuck the bartender is our guy! He’s amazing and makes great drinks! Such a great mix of people who go here. All different age groups. The vibe is always great!

The only good, old school dive bars in Princeton. Cheap drinks, good food, raucous atmosphere

The perfect dive bar. Super fresh taps, and good food selection from a partnering business. Yes, cash only, but it’s so worth it. Rolling rock tastes like paradise here. Good staff too. There’s no good reason to not come here.

I love going to ivy inn! such a fun place to sit outside with friends and family for hours on end. Plus their pizza and food is pretty good for a dive bar.

Outdoor patio has transformed this place from a respected dive bar-- with weeknight trivia and karaoke-- to the go-to public house for Riverside parents, Littlebrook parents, and a few graduate departments at Princeton University. Relaxed setting with interesting people. Not to mention beers for as little as $2 (not including tip). Cash only. Figuring out food vending after the departure of Saturn Pizza, but still offers family-friendly American fare. Satisfying buffalo wings. Trivia night and/or karaoke remains a weekly ritual for many.

Feels like a German beer pub with the outdoor benches. There are no pretzels, but you can order pizza to your table. The beer 🍺 you can get in the inside at the bar. The place is cash only, 💸, no credit card is accepted. Parking is on the street, spaces are limited. At the time we visited the place a bingo night was running, it was nice.

PRINCETON: A beloved local dive bar in the heart of downtown, Ivy Inn is known for its cheap drinks, tasty bar food, and dog-friendly outdoor patio. We especially loved the shaded seating under the big tent that is perfect for staying cool while hanging out with your pup. The vibe is super friendly; we had a blast chatting with regulars and bartender Adam. Just a heads-up: dogs are welcome until sundown, since things get lively here once the party kicks off. It is a great spot to grab a drink, mingle, and unwind. Cash only!
