If you dye your hair don't go there!! My almost 22 year old daughter and friends tried to go to Rick's last night. She was turned away because the bouncer didnt believe her ID was legit. She had blonde hair when she got her license but now has light brown hair. Didnt even ask her details about her ID either. Perhaps management could train their bouncers better and inform them that sometmes girls actually change their hair color before they can get an updated license. seriously unprofessional.

Chad should be fired. He’s not only rude, in general, he threw a lemon at my face last night. This is the second time I’ve left the bar early because of him. And I assure you upper management will do nothing to solve the issue because Ricks does not respect women.
