Take it or leave it night at Ricks.

Visited Ricks Friday night arrived at 730 left at 930; solo visit after a happy hour downtown minneapolis. First of all just an observation on the atmosphere downtown. considering Floyd riots and ton of media/stories about decay of downtown Minneapolis, thought I would mention it looked relatively vibrant overall. Happy hour at a fancy hotel lobby bar. Was packed with good looking scantily dressed women. Ricks is 5 blocks from the happy hour hotel and lot of people walking the streets out for a night on town.

I parked on street an about 100 feet from Ricks. Purchased two hours on the card meter forgot the amount, but I feel like it was 4 bucks. Was a bouncer guy outside of the club opened door for me friendly guy. Super hot ebony gal working coat check and admissions, was 10.00 cover. Would have paid whatever she said if could have received VIP from her.

Ricks has a bar right as you walk through front entry area. It has about 12-15 seats. They serve food. Two bartenders one guy one gal - gal attractive. Ordered a Macallan on rocks which is my standard as I usually milk it for 30-40 minutes to check out scene. It was 15 bucks. There were 3-4 strippers sitting at the bar. I paid for drink and walked to stage area.
