Poison Ivy
Sandown, Johannesburg
Bar in Johannesburg, South Africa
Book with PearlWhy go
Poison Ivy works for a polished Sandton date drink, client catch-up, or quiet special-occasion stop when the room matters more than a named cocktail program. The draw is its upscale hotel-lounge atmosphere, smart-casual feel, garden-retreat positioning close to central Sandton rather than a documented spirits specialty or award-led reputation.
About Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy is a Johannesburg venue with limited public detail available here. The confirmed planning points are direct: budget around $50 per person and dress smart casual. Beyond that, specific claims about cuisine, menus, drinks, service style, seating, awards, or a precise location within the city should be checked directly with the venue before you go.
That makes Poison Ivy best approached as a simple Johannesburg option for guests who are comfortable planning around the basics rather than a fully documented dining or bar profile. If a particular menu, dietary requirement, reservation policy, or seating setup matters to your visit, confirm it in advance instead of assuming it will be available.
A Johannesburg venue with smart-casual expectations
The clearest confirmed detail for planning is the dress code: smart casual. That suggests guests should avoid arriving too casually dressed and should treat the outing as a polished Johannesburg plan rather than an informal stop. The price point is $50 per person, which is useful for setting expectations before booking or arriving.
Poison Ivy may still suit the occasion, but the decision should be based on the confirmed essentials and any current information you obtain directly from the venue.
Worth it if the basics fit your plan
At $50 per person, Poison Ivy works if that budget and a smart-casual Johannesburg outing match what you are looking for. It is not possible from the facts here to make stronger claims about the food, drinks, atmosphere, service style, or special-occasion credentials.
For the most reliable experience, confirm the current offering, booking process, any practical requirements before visiting. Smart casual dress is the right planning baseline, $50 per person is the confirmed spend to keep in mind.

Bar context
How Poison Ivy compares in Johannesburg
Poison Ivy is the easier pick when Sandton convenience is the brief, but it has less confirmed detail than its peers. Winebar by Father Coffee is the cleaner choice for a wine-led night because the category is built into the concept. Muse Champagne Room is the better fit when the occasion calls for Champagne rather than a general bar plan.
For atmosphere, San Deck, Bar & Restaurant reads as the stronger choice for a bigger, more scenic social booking, while Piano Lounge is the safer cross-shop for a quieter lounge-style evening. Olive Bar sits closer to the flexible night-out lane, so compare it when value, ease, group comfort matter more than a single drinks category.
