Well having been legal for 2 years now, I can say Rick's isnt bad, but it also isn't great. The drinks typically taste sub par, the music is alright, and the maitenence on the floors/bathrooms could use a little more attention. If you want to get rowdy and felt on though, here's your spot :)

Lol sticky Ricky's. Where my feet literally stick to the floor. I went inside and ordered a drink. The drinks were ok. I went into the bathroom and this girl was so wasted and so drunk, she was sitting on the sink trying to smoke her lipgloss. That wasn't a typo. she was trying to smoke her lipgloss. So obviously she was over served. If she wasn't over served then she pregamed but she shouldn't have gotten in if she was that drunk. Then people were making out everywhere. It's just a very trashy place. It's a joke.

NEVER EVER going to even try to go to Ricks again. The bouncers have some sort of god-complex about themselves and need to get over it. Go ahead and let all those minors in your bar, I'll spend my money elsewhere.

Service was ok. But the disasters that are charitably referred to as bathrooms are fucking disgusting! Had to go elsewhere for a clean bathroom to take a #2. Tried to get back in with my stamp and te asswipe working the door told me he wouldnt let me in because I didnt have a smoker pass. Why dont yu use the $5 per person you are charging to get in the door and put it towards the "cleaner andbetter bathroom fund."
