Rick’s Cabaret

Food, liquor, and titties: Winning Combination.
Expensive food, somewhat good liquor, and titties: Bit a rip off, but still good combination.

Should have read these reviews before walking in this place. Long story short.
Bored. Here for Christmas. Wanted a few lap dances and go home. Stripper lied. Used my card. And tried to charge me 292 dollars. I refused to sign. She then tried to have me kicked out implying I was being abrasive and irrational. (Cooler heads prevailed) I never became loud or obnoxious which is exactly what these jamoke bouncers wanted so they could throw me out on my ass. Nonetheless the stripper ordered shots while waiting «on her». (WTFEver) After I refused to sign the 292 tab she then implied I owed for the drinks. Which was fine. I pulled out 80 dollars which she promptly snatched and stole and then Tried to get me kicked out and my ass whooped by these thugs that call themselves security. Lol. Not once did I raise my voice.
Hey I appreciate you steeling 80 dollars. That’s a bargain for me never to spend another dime in that shitty place you call an establishment.
This is a true story. Keep it. absolutely a bargain. It is my fault and I take full responsibility for ever walking in there. 80 dollars…#dontgohere

So I was looking for a place to play some poker while I was down here and came across this establishment.
Based on previous reviews, Of course I was a little hesitant at first — but by the time I left I couldn’t even believe what I previously read because I experience nothing but top notch service here!
Immediately, one of the managers Julio welcomed me into the club and answered any and all questions I had about the place. He showed me around and then guided me right to the poker table and introduced me to Sean (the guy running the poker table).
I sat down and got an introduction of how they play here. It’s a $ 20 buy in. You can’t win money back however if you «win» over a hundred grand in chips you get invited to play in a tournament where you can win up to $ 250. It was pretty cool all around. Extremely nice of Sean for buying the table a round of shots and even bought me a drink because it was my first time there! For the record, drinks were nice and strong and the waitress constantly came by to check if we needed anything to drink.
Julio came back over to ensure I was having a good time – and another manager Benny introduced himself to me to also make sure I was getting good service and was having a good time.
The guys all around at the table were friendly and welcoming. Even better? Last hand of the night I won it all and got invited to play in the tournament! Woohoo!!!
Now I couldn’t leave this place without getting a dance… and never in my life have I done this so I didnt know how this whole thing really worked. So I went over to Julio and he explained how everything worked.
I have also previously read that this club was full of big girls – I’m sorry everyone but that is not the case – none of these girls were «fat». They had a ton of variety there, curvy, skinny, a bunch of different nationalities… you name it they have it! Which is great for any club like this to have because everyone has a different preference when it comes to women!
Now because I personally like men, I really didn’t care who gave me a dance, I just wanted to have fun! So Julio picked out a very pretty girl for me and she brought me over to a booth for my first dance ever.
It was actually a lot of fun – I was personally laughing the whole time because I never experienced something like that-​and to top it off, I am a girl myself– so I give the girl that gave me the dance a ton of credit with staying in character the whole time. So from what I experienced, she was pretty, professional and entertaining. One dance was only $ 20 which was not bad at all!
It was also retro 80/90’s night when I was there. They had one of the best DJs in Austin playing some fun throwback tunes. Overall, it was a blast and I would totally go back there any time!

Tacky and the door girl didn’t know any promotional info. We paid full cover despite requesting 2 bottles for our group. We brought 8 middle class cats and still no liquor love. Take my advice, Go somewhere else if you’re not a regular gents.

Horrible management! I have never been treated so terrible by any other establishment especially by Dan one of the managers who I believe bases everything on skin color, talks crap behind your back then when you confront him makes a scene. The simplest question and he’s rolling his eyes snapping his neck with attitude. Ha! The music is the only thing likeable about this place. Hell most of the female customers look better than the dancers! Go across the street to P10 girls are gorgeous and managers treat you with respect. Might even offer you a job if you’re lucky :)

I am currently extremely conflicted about updating my rating for this place but, I honestly think that the bad far outweighs the good in terms of my last month’s experience at this establishment:
One month ago, I came by at night and General Manager Miguel made me feel extremely welcomed. He was completely on top of the game striving for having me have an amazing night and so I did. Unfortunately, here comes the first bad: he’s been moved to day time and I find it as a huge faux-​pas from higher management.
With that being said, Manager Todd did an amazing job at making my party and I to keep coming back for more EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Todd always making sure I have my bottles ready and Enrique always bringing the best of the best exotic dancers.
And here it comes the worst: the other Managers John and Dan (which by the way, seem to be running the show now), treated me like I have not ever been treated as a loyal customer and a VIP member of the establishment. I am not going to go into details but know that, John (whose looks and modus operandi resemble that of GoT’s Littlefinger) is fairly disliked by the waitstaff and more than one customer not to mention how hungry he’s for power and will do anything to be promoted to general manager; Dan, well… Let’s just say he is full of empty promises.
Finally, I gotta say most of the waitstaff and entertainers are extremely fun! There are a few black sheep but you’ll be able to spot them fairly quickly and not waste your time (or money).

Rude staff poor service from everyone there worst experience here than at yellow rose even which is a trashy club anyway. Definitely would recommend Palazio or Expose over Ricks any day!!!

Very disappointed for my 1^st time experience @ a strip club with my hubby! I wanted to take my hubby out for his bday & really wanted us to check out a strip club together so we decided to go to Ricks Cabaret since it was close to where we live & it opened up @ 11pm & not 12pm like a lot of the other strip clubs & I was really looking forward for my hubby getting a lap dance while me being w/​him… so when we 1^st got there I had to use the restroom & while the ladies bathroom did have 3 stalls, 1 of the toilets was clogged & full w/​nasty toilet paper (bloodied & soiled) & the 2 other stalls were occupied so I decided to wait for a minute BUT it turns out the the ladies restroom is a hang out spot for the dancers & waitresses who work there & not only are dancers just there in the restroom smoking, hanging out, talking on the phone, ect they also were in the 2 working stalls 1 of them even in the phone having a full conversation while I’m standing outside the stall needing to pee! Very awkward for my 1^st time @ a strip club. finally I decided just to leave the restroom & just try to come back in a lil bit & on my 3^rd trip to the ladies restroom was finally one of the working restroom stalls free for me to use. So after finally being able to use the restroom me & my hubby get us a couple of drinks @ the bar & found a table to sit @ try to have a good time but we soon figure out that people are able to still smoke @ Ricks Cabaret & soon the air is sooooo thick w/​cigarette smoke my eyes are stinging & really irritating my contact lenses & the smoke was also really bothering my hubby as well but by this time w/​my experience in the ladies restroom & now my eyes just stinging & really bothering me I was just ready to go so we finished our drinks & left. We won’t be going back to Ricks Cabaret but we do plan to go & check out other strip clubs & hopefully I’ll have a better experience & finally get to see my hubby get that lap dance :-).

WATCH OUT FOR THE PRIVATE DANCES!!! My first strip club in Austin, TX. had some decent girls, went in about 9:30pm — 12:30pm. i had a private dance, girl was a little pushy but the dance was enjoyable. Towards 12 about to leave my friend goes for a private dance; well he got f*cked! not in the good way either. the girl on main stage had the dj change the song twice half way through, so the girl giving the private dance tried to charge my friend $ 100!!! wtf??? then settled on $ 60 which still wasn’t even right. Im guessing it was the GM who we talked to and he signed a card stating that it would cover the first round on any group (no matter the size) that went in with the card, which was better but still… while talking with the GM they went to «check the cameras». well while we were walking out the bouncer runs out and gives us a handful of «free cover» cards. they know they were wrong.
the girls were decent, the A girls dont come on til later; when we were leaving!

I’ve honestly never heard anything really positive of this place, other than «if you’re not fat or ugly you will make money.» Well, I’m not fat or ugly so I thought I would give it a go. I applied here to work as a dancer and quickly got hired, the management seemed pretty nice and professional so kudos for that. On the other hand, the music was terrible, just terrible. As far as the dancers lets just say no. Anyways I left after 5 hours and will not be coming back. This place is to ghetto for my taste.

This place an service is awful. Stopped in with the wife to have a few drinks. Paid the nominal afternoon cover charge. Sat at table waiting to be served. The waitress kept walking by ignoring us. I wave at her several times but she seemed to be ignoring us. 15 minutes went by as we watched her serve other customers. Walked by us again and I spoke up trying to get her to stop. No luck at all. Looks like couples are not welcome here. 15 more minutes of no service we gave up and left. We will never go back or refer this place to our friends. Worst place we have been to in years. Pass it by…

Don’t eat the food, terrible!!! Hope they take care of this issue so customers won’t leave early.

Ugly women mostly, very rude manager in Round Rock location. Stay away and don’t use your credit cards here!

Haven’t bought a dance here ever… so i cant really attest to the quality of the scenery.
Ive played hold’em every time… its a lot of fun, expensive but fun. Buy a couple drinks, listen to shortened songs, and admire a beautiful lady or two.
Weekend security gives a full service pat down at the doors… happy ending is extra…
Not a bad locale.
Foood has been reported as fantastic, coming from regulars and not dancers.

I have been going to a lot of the Gentlemen Clubs around the Austin/​Round Rock area and found that Rick’s Cabaret is the best. I say this because they have a reasonable cover charge, and a friendly atmosphere. I have been to a lot of the clubs and I still have yet to see a Manager greet me at the door welcoming me inside, as I did at Rick’s. I also had several beautiful waitresses take care of me and they had a few dozen beautiful women to keep me company.
Some of the earlier posts spoke about ugly women? Either they work for the competition or they didnt see the girls I did over the last week. There were a lot of gorgeous girls from different parts of Texas, and none were ugly. Heck, when I left a couple nights ago, they placed me in this unbelievable black Dodge Charger that shuttled me home. Talk about going home in style.
This place is worth it and then some! I am a die hard fan now.

BLAH… barf… when you go to a Gentlemen’s Club on a Friday night it would be nice to be surrounded by «Beautiful» women. I know this sounds bad but every gal in there was either flat chested or «chubby»… thank god i used the coupons for a free cover. Drink prices were in line with the rest of the clubs but the talent was BAD… i wont stray from Perfect 10 again. that’s where it’s at!

I checked this place out and was not a great fan. Most of the girls were very nice but ran into one who scammed me on the dance floor. Perfect 10 is nearby and a much better time.

I will give a neutral review even though I was disappointed. I went with someone and before we sat down with our drink, we spent $ 51 (I like to get comfy before I spend over $ 50). This was on: Valet, cover charge and a drink for me and my husband.
I do not mind paying $ 8 – 9 for a Long Island Iced Tea. There is a reason they are expensive and I love them. I ordered one and was handed a 6oz tumbler full of ice and little alcohol. The drink was so weak that I thought that I was drinking coke and seltzer water for a moment. The only drink that had a decent amount of alcohol was the Jack and Coke. The drinks were all weak and I couldn’t even get a buzz. I do not mind paying for expensive drinks if they actually put alcohol in them.
Now to the women: The women were pretty-​but they all looked the same!!! Blond, skinny (like a 12 year old boy) and college co-​ed cute. There is nothing wrong with this except for the fact that a club that specializes in this genre of entertainment must consider that not everyone finds the same thing beautiful. There was not enough diversity. Just because we like to exercize and be healthy in Austin, it doesn’t mean we want to see only skinny runner types on-​stage.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the manager read these reviews about the «saggy» and «flabby» bodies and tried to fix it. I only saw two dancers out of thirty who were more curvaceous. I spoke to a dancer and she told me that the manager told her to loose ten lbs. She did not have any cellulite. She had a figure like Shakira… If Shakira or Beyonce are «fat» then a lot of men love fat women so it’s OK to eat some food and jiggle a little if it jiggles in the right spot.
The dancers were nice and did not act stuck-​up. The place was classy with great seating. I believe that I might try it one more time to see if this was just a fluke, but I will probably bring a flask so that I can actually taste the alcohol in my drinks.

OK, I went for the first time last Sunday.
My impression was …
What goes on at Rick’s stays at Rick’s!
Well Just Bust My Buttons!
Would I go back? Sometime!

Ricks sucks, the girls there are mostly single mothers with c-​section scars and saggy tits.
Not really something I want near me. The place has these outdated neon lights outside. The minute you walk in the waiter hounds you to buy drinks. I usually get some drinks but I dont like to feel like I need to buy right away.
I hear people complain about drinks being expensive??(if you dont have money then dont go to a strip club) I hate going to strip clubs and a lot of cheap people with their friends are socializing. Go to a regular bar. If you dont have at least $ 80 to spend you dont belong at any strip club.
They should hold $ 100 bill in order to get in (to prove you have the money) and then make you open a tab with it and the least amount you can spend out of $ 100 is $ 80(on dances/​drinks). that would weed out cheap people.
Bottom line this place needs better women and less c –section scars and wrinkly stomachs.
