With its blacked-out windows, perpetual karaoke, and elderly drag queens, Poison Ivy is a gay bar from a bygone era. Make no mistake, there is nothing overly hip about this place.

It's also really close to some of the more upscale gay establishments in Kemp Town, making it a good place for pre-drinks.
