I have been to this place perhaps 20+ times. As for service, because all the staff remembers are students who work temporary jobs before changing, you cannot really expect good service. Some bartenders are good and kind, while some others don’t know how to make an Old Fashion. The problem here is that the hygiene is very poor even compared to the other college bars next doors.

There was this blonde woman dj with glasses and she played the most amazing music i hope she has the most money in the world she’s a gem and she made my birthday amazing. She played all my white girl music

Wouldn’t come back here if I was paid to. The staff were all insanely rude to me when I asked about the venue. Somehow a well drink cost $16. I’ve never seen a bar with the lighting of a restaurant. And it’s just full of students in athletic wear ready to pick fights. Spent about an hour here and that was probably 50 minutes more than I needed to. Not safe, overpriced, horrible atmosphere and clientele.

They played an extremely racist song during a very busy time. I’m extremely disappointed and as a student who’s transferring next semester I don’t regret my decision!

Went here for a night out in the beautiful EL and was served by Ella. She went above and beyond by continually providing prompt service always with a smile on her face. Even when my close colleague was lying on the floor she continued to provide great assistance by gathering both waters and mozzarella sticks (10/10) for him. I have since chosen her as my godmother for my 2nd oldest and she has continued to provide amazing service for us all!

Taking people's id's and passports instead of calling the police.

Nice place for a good time on the weekends

Underground grime-central but great at being exactly that.Lots of open space and a big dance floor. Fun to watch the college kids struggle to dance to the DJ's completely undanceable radio tracks, but worth it just for that.Easy to get in and leave.

NYE 2021 was a disaster. There was a woman bouncer throwing out customers for no reason. They weren’t even allowed to get their stuff. The woman got physical with many of the customers. Ricks should be closed.

3.6 stars at the time of reviewing... what a shame. This place is sticky in a good way.
