The food smells coming from the kitchen are weird sometimes like donkey meat. It would have bothered me more in my 20's because of stomach ailments, some people might not like it. The pool tables are sometimes awkward to play on because of the dining tables around them if people are sitting to talk. Someone walked up to me in hunting clothes and was taking video on his phone while asking me a question, the next time I went I think a friend sprayed me with scenting urine when I wasn't aware. It's a club and they have signs posted to watch your drink so I discard mine if I notice I wasn't looking out. Word to the wise.

Website said "9/28 - Ave party 9pm no cover"
Yet when my girlfriend and I show up they charge us a $15 cover.

My absolute favorite bar. The staff is SO incredibly kind, drinks not too expensive and made superbly, not to mention they are really on top of keeping people safe. Love it when they have live music or karaoke! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Stopped in for some pinball while passing through to Detroit and was surprised by the excellent selection of pins, and so many LE! I know it doesn’t matter to everyone but was also really surprised how many of the modern Sterns were not Insider Connected, especially the LE of popular machines like Stranger Things and TMNT. Not a deal breaker at all still got into them just didn’t track anything for those plays, just wanted to share intel for those that log every game. Photos included is probably less than half of what they have to offer! Very cool place

Meh. Tries to come across as a place for the community, but prices are the same as anywhere else that has a better ambiance. Maybe cool when you're 21, but its 'novelty' wears off.
Also very much of a place that has its favorites and then everyone else. Expect to be ignored if you dont have patches on your jacket.
Pretty much the only bar in town that lcc 'intellectuals' can call home.
Very cool, inclusive space. The food at ruckus ramen is incredible. The pork katsu curry is so good. The fried chicken bao ate so good. The fries are also, so good.
The drinks are so close to being great, but I'd say they're only good.
They have pinball machines, a few arcade cabinets, the foosball-type hockey game.
I wish they had one more soap dispenser in the bathrooms.

5th or 6th time I've been back and I can't believe I haven't already given this place 5 stars. Ruckus Ramen is fantastic, the servers are awesome (sometimes they get busy when they're busy and you have to wait. But, ya know, busy. That's how it works. Wasn't even in their clique or whatever some other reviewer was complaining about). Atmosphere is very welcoming. They normalize what should be normal. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100. Whatever you want to rate them. They're the best
