Ivy Pool Club

About this venue

Designed with a 1960s Palm Springs aesthetic, this rooftop playground features a shallow turquoise pool, plush cabanas, and lush greenery. It's a "see and be seen" destination that balances high-end luxury with a vibrant, inclusive party atmosphere. While it serves as a chic lounge during the day, it transforms into an electric nightlife hub after dark with top-tier DJs and a glamorous, fashion-forward crowd. Tips for the Queer Community: The "Poof Doof" Takeover: While the venue is mixed, it hosts the legendary Poof Doof Big Gay Pool Party—a must-attend event during Mardi Gras and major pride weekends. Drag Brunch: Look out for their seasonal Saturday Drag Brunches, which often feature bottomless mimosas and performances in and around the pool. Dress Code is Key: They strictly enforce a "Smart and Elegant" or "Smart Casual" dress code. Avoid thongs (flip-flops) and singlets unless it's a specific pool party event. Cabana Reservations: If you’re coming with a group, pre-book a cabana at least a week in advance, especially during the summer. Safe Space Vigilance: Most visitors report a safe experience, though some community reviews suggest staying aware and sticking with friends, as the security can occasionally be quite strict at the door.
