According to Ann Arbor's noise ordinance, no music or noise can be heard beyond a property line between the hours of 10pm and 7am, meaning that clubs are not permitted to produce audible noise outside their building during those times; violations can result in fines up to $500 per offense. As well as — Property line rule: Noise must not be audible beyond the property line of the club.
I live a block away and can hear everything, the base rattles my windows. ITS A THURSDAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I have a 8am class. But here I am writing to you at 2:05 am. So I will personally call every day costing you $500 every time — or you FOLLOW THE LITERAL CITY ORDINANCE.
Bouncers are not trained to handle any sort of conflict, including ones that have potential to become dangerous. Witnessed a physical altercation with shoving and pushing involved between a man and a woman outside of this bar, alerted the bouncer and he did absolutely nothing about it, and then proceeded to blame me and my friends for "switching up our tune" after we had called the emergency line but decided to stop after the woman had gotten away and the man was no longer following her. Absolutely zero regard for the safety of women at this bar.

I completely agree with the previous review by Ms. Layman. I was also there and the staff acted extremely unprofessional. I am extremely disappointed by my experience.

My friends and I witnessed a domestic dispute between a man and a woman outside of Rick’s. The man was pushing the woman and was not letting her get through. We told the bouncer and he did nothing about it, and we were not in the place to do anything about it as we are all young college women, and this man looked almost 30 years old. We called the non-emergency line, but by this point, the woman got away from the man and the two of them split up, walking in opposite directions. At this point, the bouncer still had not done anything, but accused us for not chasing after the crying woman. Afterward, he asked us why we had “switched up our tune.” Appalling behavior, do not understand how these bouncers are not trained in these situations.
The music here is so mid. The wait in line outside was the best part. Got to watch some dude violently projectile vomiting onto the sidewalk.

Decent coffee.
Let's be real: it's a college bar. The music is usually pretty solid and the drink motto is quantity over quality. If you're coming here for high quality drinks, I would recommend you go across the street to Gar Bar. I've been coming here for over a year and it's a fantastic bar if you're a senior/junior U-M student.The only gripe I have is the length of the Rick's line. Supply does not match demand. If Rick's could more effectively monitor and convey information about the line, they would make a huge profit and save students time. Longest I have waited in line is just over two hours. If you want to make sure you get in on a Thursday, I would recommend showing up at 7:00pm. Especially late in the school year.
best bar in aa, not even a contest

Good place if you want to get intoxicated fast. Not worth the price! Young bar tenders don't know how to mix their drinks.
Good place if you wanna get drunk fast
Ran a 50.00 tip on a $6 drink. The dollar sign with a line that wasnt totally through it because pen went out they ran as a 5 with 0 next to it. Taking advantage of college kids.
Best bar I’ve ever been to
DJ was absolute garbage, was wondering how he got a hold of my middle school iPod
