Principal's Office

Consider this your permanent hall pass. Principal’s Office brings old-school drinkery vibes with a big dash of mischief. Prohibition-inspired cocktails and coffee crafted for people who don’t do “ordinary.” Whether you were the class clown or the valedictorian, there’s a seat for you here. Stop in and see what trouble we’ve stirred up.

Soto sake and bright lemon meet earthy matcha and tart plum bitters. Smooth, herbal, and just a little unexpected. It sips easy but sneaks up with layers: citrus up front, matcha settling in the middle, and a tart plum finish that lingers. Matcha lovers, this one’s yours.

Class is in session, and so are our drinks. Principal’s Office wants to see you again, this time for something new.
Maybe it’s the one you keep scrolling past, or the flavor you’ve never asked about. There’s no better time to give it a try. Our drink menu’s full of stuff worth a second look, made to sip slow or down fast, whatever the mood calls for.
Come in, pull up a seat, and see what you’ve been missing. Half the fun is not knowing your order before you walk in.
We’ll be here whenever you’re ready.

Step into the Principal’s Office, where every cocktail is crafted like a work of art. Our bartenders treat the bar like a canvas, layering flavors and colors with precision until each pour feels less like a drink order and more like a masterpiece in the making. Bold, beautiful, and worth savoring. Pull up a stool and get a taste.

High in the French Alps, wild génépy flowers grow in the thin mountain air, and for generations, they’ve been foraged and steeped into one of the most beloved herbal liqueurs in the world. Delicate, floral, a little wild at the edges. This August, we’re giving it the spotlight it deserves with four cocktails built to show off every side of it:

🌼 The French Daisy: Génépy, St. Germain, lemon, egg white, and housemade raspberry jam. Silky, bright, and just sweet enough.

⛰️ The Alpine Meadow: Génépy meets Redemption Bourbon, Amaro Montenegro, and walnut bitters. Bold and a little smoky, with an herbal backbone.

🥃 The Last Petal: Génépy, bourbon, amaro, Benedictine, and peach + walnut bitters. Layered, cozy, endlessly sippable.

🫒 This Shouldn’t Work: Génépy, Licor 43, Breckenridge Gin, lime, and olive. Weird on paper. Perfect in the glass.

Four takes, one Alpine spirit. Come find your favorite this month 🍸

Our summer term drink menu is still in session at Principal’s Office, so there’s plenty of time to work your way through it.
From refreshing new pours to the favorites you keep coming back for, the lineup is full of reasons to stop by before the season wraps. No detention required, just good drinks and a reason to linger a little longer.
Swing by, pull up a seat, and see what’s on the board.

We've been so grateful for all of the kind messages, questions, and memories you've shared since announcing our Fond Farewell to Ivywild campaign. It's a reminder of just how much this place has meant to our community over the past decade.
We've also heard some questions about what comes next, so we wanted to make things a little easier to understand.
Here's what you need to know:
• Gold Star Bakery will continue to be managed by Blue Star Group, with production moving to The Blue Star at 1645 S. Tejon Street, opening Fall/Winter 2026.
• Principal's Office and Ivywild Kitchen will remain at Ivywild School under the new stewardship and management of Bristol Brewing Company beginning September 20.
• Decent Pizza Co. will also transfer to Bristol Brewing Company. Future plans for the concept after September 20 have not yet been announced.
• All other Ivywild School businesses will remain as they are.
We hope this helps clear things up! And while there's still time, we'd love for you to be part of our Fond Farewell to Ivywild celebration. Pick up a $13 Farewell Punch Card, snap a yearbook-style photo on the brick photo wall located in the P.O. dining room and tag for a chance to win dinner for two at The Blue Star.

Late Bloomer doesn’t show up all at once, and thats kind of the point. Bright lemon and ripe raspberry open things up with a clean, juicy edge, while smooth matcha settles in underneath, adding a soft, earthy depth. Finished with a splash of soda, it lands light, refreshing, and just a little unexpected.
Like its name, it takes its time in the best way, unfolding as you sip and catching up to the moment right when it should.
