Ricks American Cafe

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.

Lets be real: its a college bar. The music is usually pretty solid and the drink motto is quantity over quality. If youre coming here for high quality drinks, I would recommend you go across the street to Gar Bar. Ive been coming here for over a year and its a fantastic bar if youre a senior/junior U-M student.The only gripe I have is the length of the Ricks line. Supply does not match demand. If Ricks 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.

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.

Good place if you want to get intoxicated fast. Not worth the price! Young bar tenders dont know how to mix their drinks.

Recommend going with a group of 5-6 people. Keep an eye on each other and you can have a pretty good time. The floor is gross but the music is generally quite good, in my experience. There are some weirdos lurking at all times, so be careful.

If youre looking for a very stereotypical college club atmosphere this is the place to go. Dont expect good drinks or music though. Also, fair warning, it literally smells like a mens locker room. Also, the line is always outrageously long and I really have never understood why.

Any visitor must take Ricks for what it is, not what they want it to be. This is not a European super club. It is not Necto. This is a place to get trashed and have a great time interacting with other inebriated humans.Could the floors be more clean? Yes. Was the bartender a dick? Yes. Could the music be better? Yes. Did drunk me care about any of this? Nope.Pay the cover, Grab a Mind Probe, and Enjoy a great night.

1) They didn’t accept my own ID but the second an underage girl tries to get in while using a *friend’s* ID: it wasn’t a problem. Overly regulatory, elitist, and catering to sexism/rape culture.2) clearly servicing underage, low life frat/sorority people who thrive off of undiagnosed alcoholism.3) overpriced. $4.50 for a bud light? Really?Ann Arbor should do better. Quit letting people in who ruin the night and upgrade the “bros” that you have checking IDs at the front.

Its a great bar. Dont get me wrong. But the music is trash. They play the same songs two times within 10mins. They did this 3 times with 3 different songs. I was only there for 2 hours. 😑

Refuses to let people in there cause other people think they did something cause other people told them they did something to kick them out and never let them back in again cause of hearsay? Gotta love Ricks Ann Arbor!!! I always looked out for you but now!?!?!?

Its downright gnasty in there. I recommend going there when you are quite drunk. Its just a big dirty room of loud, fratty people. Men there have no shame. Still had fun tho lol

Good place if you wanna get drunk fast

I lost my wallet and they didnt accept my passport as another form of ID. Super strict for no reason. Would not go back. 0/10 would not recommend

A great student bar/club. The atmosphere is fantastic and crowd is also really nice. The music is just alright

Doesn’t accept out of state IDs. I had friends traveling from Pennsylvania and they immediately denied us.

Best bar in the city. Bring your dancing shoes and prepare to be hungover. Pants are optional.

Ricks is rick-diculous. You can only go if you are Ricks ready. Make sure to get the mind probe. Ricks is dirty, raunchy, and filled with sweat, fratstars, and girls trying to hit on athletes.

Rude staffs and pretty sketchy. You would honestly expect better prices for how dirty the place is.

A2 classic ive been coming here since a freshman! they have one in Florida too! awesome...just....awesome!

DJ was absolute garbage, was wondering how he got a hold of my middle school iPod

Late night dance club. Cheap drinks. College crowd. Not to be taken very seriously, just go to have fun.

Fun place, but lines too long and it feels as if they slow it down to make it look busier.

Its good lot of Youth. Should know the game.Standing in line for over an hour sucks

Great food friendly atmosphere too tasty good

Best bar in aa, not even a contest

Honestly one of the best places to get COVID-19.

Worst club experience

Kinda boring ngl

Great dance bar. dont get there too early.

End your nite here and you wont be sorry but be careful not to wait until the lights come on!

Best bar I’ve ever been to

The bouncers are have no customer service experience v sad go to live instead!

Love you, but why does it always smell like VOMIT by the back bar!?

Epitome of shady places for undergrads to get hammered.

Lit

Fantastic caesar salad 10/10
