Alex C.
Although Alex C. is currently enrolled at DePaul, you'd be hard pressed to find him there as he spends all of his time either at The Ivy working as a bar-back, at The Ivy working as a doorman, or at The Ivy doing his part to keep the place open on the third stool from the end. A great guy who gives great hugs (even when you don't want one... or twelve), Alex is an Ivy staple and we're lucky to have him... which is good, because we don't think he's leaving anytime soon!
Alex P.
Transplanted from deep in the heart of Texas, Alex P. is up in Chicago working the door at The Ivy and working the crowd at Improv Olympic. Although he loves his Rangers, Alex is quickly learning that Mad-Dog is a God amongst men and Big Z is as crazy as the Bleacher Bums. Ladies, don't be fooled by his tex-ccent - we think it's fake.
Amy
Splitting her time between The Ivy and another unmentioned location, Amy finds herself really working the town. Don't be fooled by the strong work ethic though, because when she lets her hair down (and it goes waaay down!) she can hang with the best of the rest. In her spare time, Amy is quite the little artist - from designing fashion and jewelry to giving Degas a run for his money on the painted canvas. Cheers!
Emilio
Never one to play the "Hi, I'm hot and have great dimples" card, Emilio works the door at The Ivy almost every weekend... and by "door," we mean the sidewalk somewhere between the bar and the muffler shop down the street. When he's not wandering the streets "working," you can find Emilio slamming shots of Patron with whomever will slam one with him. So, come on over... just don't be concerned if some random guy on the sidewalk asks to see your ID - he works here. No, really. He does.
Katie
Don't be deceived by this curly haired cutie who loves pink more than Barbie herself... she's a lean mean softball machine. Drive a liner? Knocked down. Fly ball? Can of corn. She's a really great gal... or you know, would be... if she weren't a White Sox fan. Nobody's perfect, though, right? The Ivy staff has no doubt that she'll attain her dreams of being a pro-sports attorney because, after all, "second place is just first loser."
Kate
Coy and charming, Kate's a real heartbreaker of a server. Her 2006 highlight reel includes a game-winning RBI in The Ivy's very first bar-league softball victory - showing up her beefy boyfriend, who grounded out to first. Come celebrate with Kate throughout the week!
Liz
With legs that go all the way up to her tush, Liz has no trouble navigating the bar on these busy summer nights. Originally from Milwaukee and a huge Brewers fan, the Ivy staff has convinced her to adopt a second team... no worries Chicago! As long her cheesehead ballclub isn't at Wrigley, Liz cheers on our Cubbies with the best of them. Come visit Liz every Wednesday and try her margaritas... just be warned that she'll match you for each and every one!
Matt
Matt is hard to spot at The Ivy with his busy work schedule... but when you can catch him, you'll find he's quite the catch. What he lacks in stature, he makes up for in charisma... and we all thought people from Baltimore were boring! Besides, anyone that looks this much like Denzel Washington can't be bad, right? He'd like to thank the Academy...
Nadine
A Michigan native, Nadine has been voted "Best on Her Feet" for her uncanny ability to pour 4 drafts, shake a Cosmo, and take your $20 all at the same time... just don't get in her way! You're not alone if you still fantasize about her circa last year's Jimmy Buffett concert... this one really knows how to "shake her pineapples!" You can see Nadine every weekend at The Ivy... just steer clear of her pouring hand.
Peter
This lovable little leprechaun is currently in training for the Chicago half-marathon... and apparently, "training" includes wings, beer, and cigarettes. An avid traveler, you can catch Peter sporadically throughout the week, but always on Sunday nights when the mood is right. Stop on by - he'll be the one in the camo shorts 9 times out of 10 (we think it's his only pair).
Sarah
Our house rockstar, Sarah doesn't exactly fit the mold of your average Lakeview Lady - which is exactly why we love her! Taking the phrase "service with a smile" to a whole new level, Sarah has quite the following of regulars at The Ivy. She'll bring you a Blue Moon and then turn your moon blue when she kicks your butt in wiffle ball, with the smile for a mile never leaving her face.
Tracie
Everyone knows Tracie for her amazing ability to carry 734 dollar-drafts each and every Thursday night - not an easy feat! Watch for this killer cheetah (grrrrrr!) to someday be on ESPN - but for now, you can find her tearing it up on first base, at the beach and various street fests throughout the summer... and of course, on Thursday nights at The Ivy! Dare her to dance on the bar... she'll do it. (You know - again.)
