Ivy Leaf Club Kendal Ltd

You'll find the Ivy Leaf tucked away on Kent Street, in that part of town where the old Kendal character still lingers. It's the sort of place where regulars know the staff by name and the bar staff know exactly what you're having before you ask. There's a real sense of community here—it's not trying to be anything other than what it is: a solid local club with decent facilities and the kind of atmosphere you can actually relax in. The 4.2-star rating tells you people genuinely rate it, and that's because it delivers on the basics without any pretence.
