Bachelor Party Delight I took my friends to Rickey's on State for a night out and we had a blast. The dancers were friendly and the drinks were affordable, which made for a great combo. The only downside was that the club could use some renovations to give it a more luxurious feel.

Mixed Bag I've been to Rickey's a few times and it's hit or miss. The dancers are nice, but the location is a bit of a trek. The drink prices are reasonable, which is a plus. Overall, it's an okay spot, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Disappointing Experience I stopped by Rickey's on State on a Tuesday afternoon thinking it would be a fun spot to grab a drink and check out the dancers. However, the atmosphere was pretty meh and the dancers seemed uninterested in performing. The cheap drinks were the only redeeming quality.
